evening. At the same time there will
be on exhibition a large collection OF
works of art. These will be arranged
and exhibited by Miss Jessie Hungate,
Miss Jessie Mckay, Miss Dora Lobaugh,
A. A. Holden and Will Buckley. If the

THE YOUNG MAN WAITED.

In the room below the young man sat,
With an anxious face, and white cravats
With a throbbing heart. and si1ken bat
And various oGher things like that
Which he had accumulated
And the maid Of his heart was up above,
Surrounded by hat and gown and glove
And some thousand things that women love.
But no man knows the names thereof,
And the young man sat and-waited-
You will scarce believe the things 1 tell.
But the truth thereof know full well.
Though how may not be stated
But swear to you that the maiden took
A sort of a half breed. thin stove hook
And heated it well in the Raslight there
And thrust it into her head Of hairl
Then she took something OF the bed
And hooked it onto her hair, or head
Then she piled it high and piled it higher
And drove it home with staples of wire
And the young man anxlously-waited-
Then she took thing she called pun.
And some very peculiar, whitish stuhs
And, using about half peck.
She spread it over her face and neck
Deceit was thing she hated-l
She looked as fair as the purest flower
Or pound Of lard, or sack OF -four,
And the young man wearily-watted-
Then she took a garment Of awful shape.
And it WASH { a waist nor yet q cape,
But it seemed like a piece Of ancient mail
Or an instrument from Russian jail.
And then, with fearful groan and gasp.
So fair and yet so fatedi
And then. with q move like don't know
what,
She tied it on with double knot.
And the young man woefully-waited-
Then she put on a dozen different things,
A mixture of buttons and hooks and strings
Till she strongly resembled notion store.
Then, taking some seventeen pins or more
She thrust them into her ruby lips,
Then stuck them around from neck to hips,
And never once hesitated-
And the maiden didn't know perhaps
That the man below had had seven maps
And that now he sleepily-waited-
And then she tried to put on her hat.
All, me, a trying ordeal was thatl
She tipped it high, and she tried it low,
But every way that the thing would go
Only made her more agitated-
1t wouldn't go straight. and it caught hel
hair,
And she wished she could hire man K
swear,
But alas, the only man lingering there
Was the man who ldly-waited-
She had to pump up her monstrous sleeve
Then a little dab here, and a wee pat there,
And touch or two to her hindmost hair.
Then around the room with the utmost care
She thoughtfully circulated
Then she seized her gloves and a chamoi,
skin,
Some breath perfume and long sticlzpin.
A bonbon box and q cloak and some
Eau de cologne and chewing gum,
Her opera glass and a sealslzin muff,
A fan and heap Of other stuff
Then she hurried down, but ere she spoke,
Something about the maiden broke.
So she scurried back to the winding stair.
And the young man looked in wild despair,
And then Incorporated.
