WEEK s
8 In SOCIETY{


Thanksgiving and turkey have be
come synonymous and the consumption
of the festival bird in Laramie this
year surpassed all previous records,
denoting plainly the large number of
%congenial companies and quiet family
parties which spent the day happily
together. While 1t is impossible to
record all of these, brief mention of
some of them has been compiled, and
the account is fttingly prefaced by the
following amusing bit of verse which
adorned the place cards of a clever
Laramie hostess on Thanksgiving day,
the squib, which was written by R. X.
Munkitrick, being entitled, 1.-THE Best
Part of the Bird"
81 like the wing, | like the neck,
l like the first, also the sec
Ond joint and the bird like from
The giblets to the luscious drum
Stick and the s%tufing and the skin
That fingers on my gravied grin.
But when I've sung my little lay
This thing I'm very free to say,
OF all the turk from back to breast
The cranberry sauce l like the best"
