"THE SUNDAY CALL"
/ paid five cents for a Sunday Call
It took me a jveefy to read it all;
I piled the sections upon the floor.
Till they reached the top of the kitchen door;
J hung the chromos upon the wall,
.md there wasn't room to hang them all;
The yard ii covered about ten feet deep.
With the comic sections of that Sunday sheet;
There were sections of pink and sheets of green,
A woman's section and a magazine;
And sheets of music the same if played,
Jt ould mak.e an audience quickly fade;
There were also patterns for women's gowns.
And lots of gentlemen' s hand me downs;
Patterns of all kmds and rubber dolls;
Ads for shot guns and parasols.
Why man, you need a wagon to haul,
A nickel's worth of that Sunday Call.
1 have taken The Call for about twenty years, but the issue
of Sunday, February 23d, to my mind, was the greatest of all.
