POETRY PARTY.
y NEW SOCIAL ENTERTAINMENT
HAS BEEN INTRODUCED.


The latest fad is the poetry party"
and ii has reached Norfolk Or Thurs
day night poetry party" was given
by Mrs. John Young, 1T her home on
Holt strees.
There were about thirty amateur
poets present. Each was supplied with
sheet of paper with the final words
OF what were TO be the lines in six
verse poem.
The trouble began about S:i5 O'Clock,
ana each contestant WAS allowed a half
hour to complete his or her poem.
There were three judges of the poems,
Mrs Upshur MIR. John Young and Miss
Deans. They unanimously awarded
the prize for the best poem to Mr.. D.
II. Cheatham. clerk at the Board of
Trade rooms, and the BOBBY prize to
his brother, Mr. i. S. Cheatham.
1t is safe to say that Shakespear
never wrote anything like the poem
produced by the latter. After the con-
test the guests enjoyed games and mu-
sic until a late hour.
