| She brushed her whitened locks aside
| And courtesied down the middle,
Still keeping perfect step and time
To partner and to fiddle.
Her ample skirts of wooen stuff
1 Coquettishly outspreadng-
The fire of youth In her eye,
| The night Of Noras wedding.
I o, Nora was so fair bride
/ She needed no adorning;
| But Noras mother kept the floor
1 Until the early morning,
| With all the grace of seventeen
| The merry measures treading.
| She danced the lads and lassies down,
The night of Nora's wedding.

| of the Woman's club house one gazeo

| bon furnished the only touch OF Color

glimpse of low cut shoes of dark blue
suede and a hint of hose the same
