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