Poesy

A Circular

As “legal representative”I read a missive not my own,On new designs the senders giveFor clothes, in tints as shown.

Here figure blouses, gowns for tea,And presentation-trains of state,Charming ball-dresses, millinery,Warranted up to date.

And this gay-pictured, spring-time shoutOf Fashion, hails what lady proud?Her who before last year was outWas costumed in a shroud.
