 ("The debutantes are entertained."—Headline.)

debutantes are entertained, Though Europe sink in smoke and blood And every hope of womanhood Is there endangered, twisted, stained— The debutantes are entertained.

The debutantes are entertained, Though many women young as they In this free country day by day Are underfed and overstrained— The debutantes are entertained.

O, lovely creatures, young and kind, How long, how long ere you rebel Against this tyranny, this spell That dims the mirror of your mind And keeps you debutantes—and blind!
