10 InS JOdSI Marriage as sue
cess, William A. Gleeson responded
earnestly and truthfully from out
his own experience, greatly to the
appreciation of all.
Most glowing tribute was paid to
a bride of forty years, as John S.
Sweeney responded to Forty years
married." giving full assurance that
time could not change his belief
that "she was the most beautiful
girl in all the world"
The humorous phase of all these
toasts was we'll offset by the oft
expressed sterling qualities of both
Mr.. and Mrs. Bartlett, and their in
fiuence upon all who knew them,
many references being made to the
happiness of their twenty-five years
of married life.
Judge Harland B. Howe of the
United States federal court, and the
distinguished guest of honor of the
evening, expressed especial delight
in the fact that so much had been
said about happiness" In his very
delightfully."- earnest way he set forth
three distinct sources of happiness.
He referred to his business asSocia-
ton with Mr. Bartlett in highest
terms of respect and admin alton.
Mr.. Dale closed the evenings pro-
gram by eloquently presenting to
Mr.. and Mrs. Bartlett a silver per-
colator which is to "percolate men,
cries" of this silver wedding night;
and he delightfully."- read this most
fitting bit of MISUNDERSTANDING the
authorship, however:
Now, ladies and gentlemen, lend me an
ear
For wish to remind you why we are
all here,
And if any don't know III try to make
clear
The whyness of all this delight.
Now, l don't want to tire you, for that
would be wrong,
So I'll make a short story of what
should be long
And forthwith proceed to the point of
my song.
IT'S their silver wedding tonight.
So wake the piano and tune up the fid-
dies;
Bring out what you have to be stored in
our middles;
Bid your cares all skidoo
For an hour or two,
TITS their silver wedding tonight;
IT'S their silver wedding tonight.
Now, if l should attempt, as think is
the style,
To tell all | know of this man that's
worth while,
1t would lengthen my story by many a
mile,
And to keep you so long is not right.
His greatest achievement, it must be
allowed,
Is wife and one youngsters fine look
ing crowd
Of which any king in this world would
be proud.
IT'S his silver wedding tonight.
George Washington had only one kid to
raise
Just our Uncle SAM yet we all sing
his praise;
But to be Philips father,
I'm sure I'd far rather.
IT'S his silver wedding tonight;
IT'S his silver wedding tonight.
Then let US be glad
With this happy Dad.
IT'S his silver wedding tonight;
IT'S his silver wedding tonight.
No words can express our deep love for
his wife.
Few women we know have passed
through this life
Who refrained so completely from tur.
bulent strife.
You know I'm telling it right,
I'll wager some moneys billion or two
And even that seems somewhat too few
That she never was known to trouble OF
stew.
It's her silver wedding tonight.
She wouldn't know how to say one cross
word,
From her lips no mean gossip ever was
heard;
Women trust her and love her
And children adore her.
lis her silver wedding tonight;
IT'S her silver wedding tonight.
Let US join in the JOY
Of her bouncing big boy.
IT'S her silver wedding tonight;
IT'S her silver wedding tonight.
Good people, your friends have askec
me to say
They are all very glad you are with u.
today;
Moreover we've something you nigh
take away
On your silver wedding tonight;
And all through your years we wish yor
to brew
The finest coffee. Few women can de
1t and get the fine flavor, delicious anC
