_To Stern Critics_
Here's to stern Critics!
May they some day learn
The forward lookout's
Better than the stern!
[Illustration]
Here's to her shadow!
May it mark the hours
Upon the sundial of her life--in flowers!

Fashion! Lovely Dame!
Pledge in sparkling wine!
Let us add her name
To the Muses' nine!
Though the lovely Nin
All should pass away
Why should Woman pine,
If but Fashion stay?
Tho' the Muses' lore
Molder on the shelf,
Still may She adore
In Fashion's glass--Herself.

_To The Typewriter_
Here's to the Typewriter!
Health to her type!
Whether blond or brunette
Or budding or ripe.
If she be the right type
Be she buxom or slight,
When she doesn't type wrong
She is sure to typewrite.
