In each room and everywhere the talk about it humsg There 's the one eternal question. i'YVho's the man you 're going to ask? " Then you fill your orders out, which surely is a task. And then the day draws nearer and our dresses they inspect. Each layer of tulle. each ruffle and each tuck do they dissect. For necks are high at Abbot and sleeves are just so long, And yards and yards of tulle are bought that they may not be wrong. At last the night itself arrives, and soon the music starts, Sending thrills and flutters to the many beating hearts. But why, you say. about a dance should this excite ment be? Because we have them once a year, and only once, you see!
