Its First Party Ii Decided Success
Selections from ''Priscilla."
The party given under the auspices of
the Village Improvement society at Han
! cock hail last Friday evening was pro-
nounced success. 1t is hoped it will prove
the forerunner of series of parties to be
given each season.
The party was what is most commonly
termed a very pretty affair, but in this
case it was pretty on such grand scale
as almost to merit the term magnificent.
The hall, and particularly the stage,
looked very pretty. Many of the decora-
tions were the same as so excellently
arranged by the city hose boys for their
Easter ball. Four large piano lamps on
the stage lent beautiful effect.
The concert was delightful feature Of
the evening. Selections from the opera
"Priscilla," which has caught the popular
fancy to an extent that may be almost
called "craze," constituted the principal
part of the programme. Miss Mary F.
Hopkins was the accompanist. The pro-
gramme was as follows:
Duet from "Priscila". ".................Co Coolidge
Miss Georgia r. Hastings and E. +. Redman.
Song, ~ am Roamer". r"............K K'ingemann
F. W. Rollins.
Song, from "Prscilla,"
Miss Mabel Monaghan.
Topical Song.
Mr.. Redman.
Duet, from Priscilla"
Miss Monaghan and Mr. Rollins.
Later in the evening chorus from
"Priscilla' was rendered by request.
The topical song by Mr.. Redman was
decided hit. The words were as fol-
lows:
1t may be that some of these verses
Are really not right "up to date"
If you've heard them before, lay the blame at
the door
OF the ladies who made up the slate
A gracious indulgence they pledged me
If their cause | would only essay,
So I'm going to try the experiment;
1t isn't for me to say.
1t isn't for me to say, 1t isn't for me to say;
I'm going to leave 1t all to you; 1t isn't for me to
say.
They say that all good citizens
should into politics 20.
And take lively interest in
Their country's veal and Woe;
To be out all night till broad daylight
May help the cause some way;
Pm not politician.
| IT isn't for me to say, it isn't for me to say,
Why politics makes mans hat too small; it
isn't for me to say
Thev--ay in our city election
OF politics we all lost sight,
And chose for mayor candidate
Whom all could support with delight,
With wisdom judicial he'll reform III abuse
of the laws without further delay,
He may make a raid on the Sunday trade,
But it Isn't for me to say.
