A Waist and Arm Social.

To be given by the ladies of the
w. r. G. at the home of Mrs.
Frank Miller Friday evening, May
q. A fine program, and refresh
ments will be given.
"'Tis money makes the world go
round,
Ills waist that makes the arm go
round
But a combination of the two
Is a pretty good thing, we think,
don't you?
Now a waste Of money is a sad
thing,
But we'll invested interest will bring.
A little Investment we ask of you,
To raise some money the end in
view.
But the waist of q girl is another
thing,
And an arm around it will surely
bring.
So waists and arms are what we
ask,
To help us accomplish this difficult
task.
Each girl must measure her waist
with care,
A Penny an inch will be her fare.
We hope it will be very large,
But for that we ask no extra charge.
Each man must measure the length
of his arm,
And a few pennies more will do no
harm.
A penny an inch for His arm or
Her waist.
All come and let the pennies
abound,
And no waste of money will be
found"
Of course the invitation explains
itself. A light supper may be
served. 1t may consist of dainty
chicken sandwiches, a salad OF
two, olives, ice cream and cake.
