(In the manner of Ezra Pound)
Will people accept them? (i.e. these
bargains)
O dainty colorings and range of prices!
Gowns of charmeuse in all the colors of the
season;
Blouse suits of Russian cloth, tucked belt of
softest satin,
And only $37.50.
Beautiful but inexpensive hats (values
unprecedented).
Lovely French flowers combined
With handsome ribbon or numidi, roses,
lilacs, wistaria, in beautiful colorings.
And petticoats, in crepe de chine and chiffon.
The petticoat oddly cut and gored,
That holds its fullness just below the knee,
And yet puffs out above,
Giving the new and fashionable outline.
Soft petticoats of sheerest voile, opened on
side with clasps, in straight effect,
Silk jersey tucked and plaited ruffle, with
underlay of same,
Special at $1.95.
(Bert Leston Taylor)
