| Friday evening, Jan. 10, the young people
of the Baptist Society had "a Sock Social
| in Union Hall. Over 200 were present.
| After short literary entertainment re-
| freshments were served. About 5000 were
| realized. The tiny silk socks that had been
| sent out, were the tickets of admission and
| were thrown into mammoth sock hung In
| side the door. The place and date were
| written on the envelopes when sent out.
F, The following is the Invitation:
SOCK SOCIAL.
| This little sock we give to you
Is not for you to wear.
Please multiply your size by two
| And place therein with care
In dimes or cents-just twice
| The number that you wear,
We hope it is immense.
| So, if you wear number ten,
| You owe us twenty, see?
| Which placed within this little sock
Will fill our hearts with glee
IT'S all we ask; it isn't much
And hardly any trouble
But if you only have one foot
Well surely charge you double
Now if you have a friend quite dear
You'd like to bring with you;
Or if you know some one who'd come
Well gladly give you two.
So don't forget the place and date,
Well answer to your knock,
And welcome you with open arms,
But don't forget your sock.
