The floor was covered with canvas to
the dancing hall. At the entrance to

sonated by Miss Annabel Brash, in a
gray dress, down the front of which
was the inscription in gilt letters, "a
Happy New Year"
Miss Gertrude Gersting represented
st. Valentine, becomingly dressed in

turkey feathers; her powdered hair
looked like a celery garden, and about
her neck was cranberry necklace. A
girdle of wish-boneS and a fan painted
to represent pumpkin pie, with sill

The bIueneSs of her eyes,
The charm of maiden symmetry,
The grace, the smile, the purity,
Her name to me implies.
oh, but her name is sweet to me;
At night III wintry street
A pale child prays for charity,
And as | question curiously,
Her lips h name repeat.
Oh, but her name is sweet to me;
My eyes beheld to-day
A great ship sailing toward the sea-
Her name in golden filigree
Was mirrored Ill the bay.
Oh, but her name is sweet to me,
In tender pity
Suecor the beggar bounteously;
And pray that heaven guide happily
The great ship passing by.
