By far the prettiest feature of the
meeting Thursday afternoon was an
original song on the clubs of Delaware.
sung to the tune of Coming Through
the Rye" As if by magic a huge
flower representing the different clubs
popped up" and face pictured in the
hover sang a verse suited to the clubs.
This clever conception was due to Mrs.
G. Robinson, who composed
the verses and improvised the scheme.
The row of fowery faces above the
oank Of snowballs made beautiful
picture. The verse relating to Smyrna
was as follows:
Every club house has mortzage-
. Ihats what's sticking ,
smyrnas worked 70 get he money,
Very strenuous.
