(Alice P. Massey, Correspondent
Following is an account of the an
.niversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Bass,
observed Thursday evening:
Should you ask me why the singing,
Why the lights and happy voices,
At the Lodge they call George Stan
toms,
1 should answer, I should tell you
"'Twas the wedding anniversary
OF our friend who come from Brook
Ign,
George Bass and his wife WiPmina.
On the lawn beneath the naples
Stood the table spread with dainties,
While above, the Chinese lanterns
Lent their glow to aid the moonlight.
Friends from Danville and the Village
Neighbors, and the summer boarders"
Spent a merry, care-free evening,
Rounded to a close with music.
When the hour wore on to midnight,
Homeward took their way our guest
friends,
And the Lodge was left to silence,
Silence and the happy memories"
