| Description |
A woman sews a cap. Her face is large, and the shading around her mouth appears to be facial hair. The valentine mocks her
for gossiping and trying to appear richer than she is.

| Notes |
Text: You nasty thing, think any chap / Would woo the stitcher of a cap? / You walk down town, (and such a caper!) / With
dinner tied up in a newspaper? / To make folks believe you've been shopping, / In buying shoes or a pair of stockings, / Your
figure's bad and when at your labors, / You talk too much about your neighbors.
