HER SLEEVES.
By threes and fours the ladies walked
The streets when lightly dressed,
But with the new style jackets they
Can go but two abreast.

She laughed in her sleeve,
With intent to deceive,
But the gown she was wearing that day
Had sleeves of such size
That to her surprise
They gave the dear damsel away.

When Mary Hannah’s dress was done
Toe neigld>ors all came in to see,
And gazed and “my’d” and “oh’d’’and
‘‘ah <!,’’
Till she was proud as proud could
be,
The day was mild and the sun shone
bright,
So. yielding to the neighbors’ talk
She thought to put the garment on
And go out for a little walk,
The stunning gown was donned, and
then
She cried for half a day or more
The sleeves, alas were made so wide
She couldn’t get them through the
door!
