The engaging children's poem on this postcard (post card) was scanned from a 1912 children's book. Send it to your favourite little reader, to ponder what they would think children would be like a hundred years from now! This poem says: "There's a picture in the window Of a little shop I know, With boys and girls dresses as they were A hundred years ago. And since I saw it, I have thought, And keep on thinking how The children, maybe, will be dressed A hundred years from now. Will girls wear caps or farthingales, Or hoops in grand array? Will they wear bows like butterflies, Just as they do to-day? Will boys wear jackets short, or tie Their hair in queues? Just how They'll really look, I'd like to know-- A hundred years from now. What do you think the girls and boys WIll eat in those far days? Will they be fed on breakfast foods In many sorts of ways? Will all good and tasty things Be worse for them than rice? Will ice-cream soda make them sick, And everything that's nice? Will children's books have pictures then, Or just all reading be? Perhaps they'll be hand-painted and Most beautiful to see. But when I think of those I have, I truly don't see how They can be any prettier A hundred years from now."
