No, it isn’t home neglecting

If you spend your time selecting

Seven blouses and a jacket and a hat;

Or to give your day to paying

Needless visits, or to playing

Auction bridge. What critic could object to that?

But to spend two precious hours

At a lecture! Oh, my powers,

The home is all a woman needs to learn.

And an hour, or a quarter,

Spent in voting! Why, my daughter,

You could not find your home on your return.
