An Old Time Social Given by w. r. c.

The w. II. G. an old time social would give,
It's members to inspire,
And each one agreed true as they would live,
To go in old fashioned attire.
But alas! alas! when the time did arrive,
On your fingers you could lumber
The old time costumes they did levive
But those looked very quaint and somber.
The first TO arrive was our great fa athers wife
Martha Washington by name,
And it seemed that great lady had como back
to this life;
The stateiness AMI grace were the same.
Old grandmother was there very cheerful and
bright,
With shawl that came over the sea,
Then came a lady just arrived last night
From our "Mother' the "Old Countrie
The puritan maid wore a love of a bonnet,
And she looked very quaint and sweet.
Some one about her should compare q short
sonnet,
The like of which never was beat.
Our charming little girl was also there,
| AS sweet as she could be,
She has voice like the birds OF the air,
! But we heard not the song Chick adeedee.
Then came lady with ruflles and collar,
And ear rings of finest pearl,
Which certainly cost her many dollar,
And suitable for the wife of an Earl.
Our president Mrs Mckinley was there,
And she looked very charming and gay.
| If we all could, at her age, have such lovely
| gray hair,
| 1t would be worth while to travel that way
The costume of black with great yellow
sleeves,
| Was style that ought never to fade,
Her name will not be known till hearts she
bereaves,
For she called herself ''The Old Maid."
A round faced, rosy cheek ed school girl ther
| came,
Well known for her kindness and goot
deeds.
An elaborate collar was worn by dame,
| Made of bugles and bangles and beads.
There was one garment of great renown,
| And 1t had performed we'll its duty.
| For it had once been wedding gown,
And continued n thing of beauty
Miss Rosalie Fltzsimmons was galy attircd
| In costume of years long ago;
And although her dress was greatly admired
| IL uluu l even geJ ner q bean.
The button was passed by the girl in white,
Who seemed very young and sprlghtly;
| And while all were looking to see who guess
ed right,
Who should arise but Johny Golightly.
The ponds were held over The new Senator
head.
BY the hand of the fair Priscilla;
Who looked very like the puritan maid,
And who is more renowned than the her
of Manila.
DR.. McManigal too. in the game had part
And gave recitation full of wit;
For he had given the key to his heart,
And there was compelled to redeem 1t.
The old maids selection was Mary's littl
ram, --
Which was very entertaining and bright
But she had in 1t the word UDedam,
Which causes some people to fight.
The strains OF America filed the large room
BY one who was famous for song,
So the ponds were paid, and the old game Ina
boom, 1tt
AS In old time from voices long gone.
Old time refreshments were then served
all,
And pies made OF pumpkins were relishe
Ginger bread that was praised all over Il
hall,
And good coffee with cream and sugar EN-
belished.
After supper was over and number Ii,
left,
Our eyes witnessed sight, like a dream,
And those who had gone, of fun were bere
For wonderful cake walk was seen.
The old time dress social will ever hold deG
, In our memories MS long as were able.
But II there are any more motions for ente
tainments this year,
They will be laid upon the table.
