merchant. — 9-11. The purchaser is either a man, who by buying a top-knop 
ribbon at the store divulges the fact that he has a sweetheart, or a young 
woman who, by mistake or in fun, is given a blue ribbon, though as an 
unmarried girl a red one is appropriate (or eventually, if she has children 
without being married, a green).

(Nos. 268— 273.)

Moolätte.

but was not much at home in that dialect. As a result the words of the 
song are partially garbled.
