A Plea from the U.C.W.D.S.

We carefully called ourselves "women."
And felt very proud of our name.
But still we're referred to as "ladies."
A title we never did claim;
For we thought of its misapplications—
"Char, ladies," "drunk ladies," and such.
So please will you just call us women?
You see, we'd prefer it so much.

—G.M.L.
