Postcard of a poem about womens clothing, (Nev.), 1920-1940
Date

Description
Poem on postcard, unknown author, that shames women who wear less clothing. Reads: "Little girl, you look so small. Don't you wear no clothes at all? Don't you wear no shimmy shirt? Don't you wear no pretty skirt? Just your corset and your hose -- Are those all your underclothes? You appear to be all feet With your dress so very tight You certainly are an awful sight. Nothing on to keep you warm. Crazy just to show your form. Little girl, you won't live long Just because you dress all wrong; Can't you wear more underclothes Than your corset and your hose?After awhile I do believe You will dress like Mother Eve."
