Kate Field has written a poem or -FOUR
stanzas upon "KalaTazoo.' A verbatim
quotation Of this worthy contribution TO
the poetrv of the day, together with
an account Of "how It came to be- writ
ten" "a Ia Little Lord Fauntleroy), is
az follows:
4" We sat upon lovely piazza, and some
body referred 10 Michigan, and one of us
was soon going. Then somebody else
spoke Of Kalamazoo, and wondered If
il had ever been dropped into poetry by
any nonsence rhymer. Nobody has ever
had the courage" replied another body;
though why not try since Mrs. Brown
ing has made Modena' rhyme with God
in a 'Y'
Kalamazoo! Kalamazoo, The word OPP
pressed me. I dreamed last night OF Kali
amazoo. Imps whispered rhymes in my
ear and drew Illustrations on the foot
of my bed. Listen to an imp:
was a young lady Of Kalamazoo
never in company dared to say
''boor'
But she looked so utter
That she made people %stutter.
Did his un-utter-able young lady Of Kali
amazoo.
Here Is another:
There wa once a woman Of Kalamazoo
Who had so many children she didn't
know what TO do.
But as they're all boys
They'll make a great noise
in the world" said this Of Kali
amGzoo.
And another:
There was an old fellow Of Kalamazoo
Who always to questions made answer,
pooh. Poohl
BY the great mouth of Gosh
All talking is bosh.''
Said the laconic old fellow of Kalamazoo.
And stil another;
There was once q dudelet Of Kalamazoo,
Being fully convinced that he everything
knew;
Straightway hired him a hall.
Aiack! no one at all
Went TO hear the wise dudelet of Kali
amaz0o
And again:
There was
But hold, enough!
Mrs. Warner Moore has returned to
the city.
Easter week will be sufficiently gay 10
delight the most pronounced social gour-
mand. There will be the game of ball
between the Yale and the University. the
Yale Glee Club. the Tuesday german,
two brilliant receptions. the Children's
Fancy Ball. and the excursion to Mount
Vernon.
The "Children's Fancy Ball. as pre-
viousily stated. is for the benefit OF ST.
paui's Church Home. and is in charge of
a committee consisting OF Mrs. George
McAdams. Mrs. Charles T.. Stokes, Mrs.
Robert c.. Cabell, Mrs. Edward Mayo.
Mrs. Benjamin Nash. and Mrs. Moncure
Perkins. These ladies are sparing no
effort to render the affair worthy Of the
patronage OF the public. and the children
are being carefully drilled into perfec-
ton. Probably the most attractive fea-
ture OF the ball will be the 'flowes
dance" in which a class of twenty-five
little people viii participate. The object
of the bali cannot fail e appeal to the
public heart. and a conspicuous social
and financial success is anticipated.
