The Village Inn.
Did you ever drop into a country hotel
Where they break the news with "A big dinner bell?
Where you just sit down and dig right in,
And eat and eat till you think it 1t sin?
Where slver's not silver, and China is Stone
Where ma pkins are tissue and hecfsieak is bone
Where the honse-cat is running at large round the room
And the new hired girl right behind with a broom.
There's Smitty and Smut, and the pretty school
teacher,
The doctor. the banker, the tall timber preacher.
And the telephone ciri--gee, but she's pert.
There's the candy kid that the boys call squirt"
Right across from vow sits "A fresh travelling man
Telling a lie such as travelling men can,
And just as he closes, the local windiammor
Puts over a hot one that changes the glamour.
Now they may he shy on the frizzlcs and frils.
But it beats city restaurants. cafes and swell grill>.
And there's one satisfaction that I've always found
You arc sure of enough to more than so round.
--Garfc'd Gibson.
