The days are gone when the inmate

Also they knew then what member was
there, or the social standing Of the Wis.

Why has Miss Prince gone to Bostonf
Would you really like to know!
II IL not exactly pleasure trip,
Though pleasant, We hope, as things 60.
1t happens this way. Our many friends
Have been so very kind OF late,
That II 1t be possible so to do
We their kindness would compensate.
Our dress goods are getting very low,
In trimmings we want the newest things,
Buttons and fringes, gimps and jets,
And any novelties this season brings.
As the days grow short and windy and cold,
People will need warmer fannels and hose,
And our stock Is sadly In need OF more,
For this year we haven't bought those.
Our blankets too are almost all gone,
Aud our stock Of shawls Is small,
Cottons and crashes and aannels and ticks,
Oh, yes, we are needing them all.
Ribbons and ruches too, and gloves,
Corsets and neckties, light and gay,
Spool cotton and silk, needles and pins,
And such things you use every day.
All these and very much more we need,
And this we think good reason,
Why Miss Prince went to Boston herself, to select
New goods for our friends this season.
Very truly,
