licious three-course luncheon pre-
pared by the hostess, to which all did
ample justice. During the evening
Mrs. Alfred Young, on behalf of the
guests, presented Mrs. Easterly with
an electric iron as a memento of the
occasion. The presentation poem,
entitled THE Nineteenth of June -
read by Mrs. Young, is given below:
Way off down in a southern cline.
So it has been recorded in the book
of time,
A tall old bachelor wandered one day
And found little widow alone in her
way.
She was short and pretty and very
sweet,
He was tall and lank but very slick.
Her sweet smiles she then cast at
him,
And bo did rO+ lyrDu. ,,.bo+Lo, H. -
fat or slim,
But one time his heart got too full
for the test,
And he popped the question, and this
is our best.
Right there she was taken so un-
aware,
That she promised his love and his
sorrows to share,
And then the next question, what day
it should be,
To make them happy one, not two
or three;
But this was a small question after
landing the fish,
And poor old Henry was to get his
dear wish.
So she said, Il think the 18th of
June will be
Inc day for us to go to Salt Lake City
and see
How the Mormons their marriage
vows tie,
So that we can't break them by and
by"
Well, they We're married on that
bright June day,
And then way up north their home
they did lay,
Until Anna got tired of the cold a
little bit,
They wandered south and in old Ash
land lit,
And we are all so happy that this
day
Has been offered to us to come up
here and pay
You both our congratulations and
may many years
OF blessed union be yours, without
tears.
After our invitations, we wanted
something to take,
Just as token of our love for your
own dear sake.
We pondered it over and we pondeRed
it we'll,
But nothing was right and no one
could tell,
Until Strickfadden, with his wise old
knot,
Said, Get her an iron that will keep
red hot"
And so that we have done, and we
give it to you
With our good wishes and friendships
true,
And when things go wrong and your
temper is at stake,
Just grab up this coil and the iron
from the shelf you can take,
And attach them together, and the
current from above,
Always remembering every one of us
with love.
And now, dear Anna. don't get dis
couraged filling Henry with pie,
He'll get over that appetite in the
sweet by and by.
Keep right on and pull his leg,
But for another invitation we sim
cerely beg.
