A woman wears a triangular gown and coat. The valentine mocks the crinoline fashion trend, particularly the dirt the skirts
attracted in the streets.

| Notes |
Pretty lady do not rage / When I say you're in a cage, / By a lot of hoops secured -- / Of it, I am well assured, / Sweep
away the side-walks clean, / Of street sweepers, you're the queen.
