ADVICE TO GIRLS.

COME with your silks and your satins,

Come with your laces and curls;

Come with your coiffures and patterns,

Charming and innocent girls.

Lead the attack with your faces,

Follow it up with mamma;

Sweeten your infantile graces

With the bank-notes of papa.

Dress in the height of the fashion;

Talk us the smallest of talk;

Speak of a flirt with great passion;

Lean on our arm when we walk.

Tell us of love in a cottage,

Dress you like queens while ye do;

Warble of breakfasts on pottage,
