The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-12-20

On a Qdy L met with fOllyt
Knowing not g. flirt was she;
She was piquant. she was jolly,
And she thrust out melancholy
With a smile of witchery.
I, supine, could not disarm her,
Though I guessed in some degree
There was mischief in my charmer.
So it came about, you see,
Folly made a fool of me!
Folly tired of her adorer
When her slave I came to be.
Soothing at the love 1 bore her,
Vexed because boldly wore her
Too familiar livery.
Petulant, she scourged and left me
Shorn Of all my panoply.
So it was when she bereft me
OF her smile, she set me free
Folly made a man of me!

White knit gloves are again worn.
Gray gloves are considered smart this
season. If one wishes to pay So a
pair there are pretty Angora gloves
and also handknit coon fur gloves at
that price. The latter are of a beau
tiful tan shade.
Gloves in a combination of two or

the eye of the lover of blended colors.
Knitted gloves of scarlet are rather
fetching If there is not much color in
the costume. These are pretty for
skating and sleighing. In the real
dressy glove Cape skin and Mocha
prevail. The Cape skins come in tans,
the latter in gray and tan.
The Mocha glove, silk lined, is very
warm, and there are also silk-lined
glace kid gloves. Some gloves are
lined throughout with fur, others are
fur trimmed. Fleece-lined cashmere
gloves are shown in black, blue and
brown.
A fad that is fast gaining ground is
to leave the glove on the right hand
opened at the wrist. This may have
arisen from the fact that woman on
shopping bent often has occasion to
draw off the right glove and if it is
left unbottoned this is more easily
done.

Second Appearing" ---.
In 1853 Ann Lee accepted the testi-
mony of these people and was bap-
tized with them into the same inspira-
ton that gave life to their gospel
mission.
This work continued to increase in
divine power until the year 1770. when
the present testimony of eternal life
was preached by the special revelation
of God, through Ann Lee, who was at
this time acknowledged by the socie-
ty as their spiritual mother in Christ,
and has ever been called by the believ-
ers since that date. Mother Ann.
