That Y.P. NJ. 5. Lemon Social


Bring lemon one and all,
Bring a lemon great or small,
Money Is what we need
Therefore, penny for each seed
But If you bring a seedless lime
Wen hold you up and get a dime.
We meet Tuesday night with Bro.
Mcclure,
Be on time and bring a lemon
sure
This was the invitation given ts
about seventy of our jolly young
people. About eight o'clock they
came trooping in with lemons of
all sizes, and as we found later,
containing any number of seed.
William Mcclure ofliciated with
the butcher knife and severed
the lemons. The next process was,
Of course, the squeezing, and Edith
Martin and Matilda Bennett did
that to perfection.
After all had personally superln-
tended getting their lemon through
the process we gathered on the
front porch and played "Passing
the bean bags" One line (r) was
wrecked on a stormy coast, because
they "spilled the beans" William
had to immediately get busy with
the broom and then we went inside
and played "gossip." Mildred start.
ed with "How do you like school3"
and before 1t passed more than three
twas "Isn't ltIoool?," ""Its FIVE cents
a SPOOL" "Let's 60 to the school Ii.
brary," "Does your ma like cool
bread?" and dozens of others which
showed how gossip really travels.
Mr.. Freeman rendered two beau
tiful violin solos, some of our ac'
compllshed young ladies played
and sang and we all talked awhile.
Then came the contest: a fruit
jar containing all the lemon seeds,
was passed around the room and
cash one guessed at the number Of
seeds in the jar. William McClsre
won the prize by guessing the mum.
Der exactly-435. Herbert Martin
was a close second with 426.
That ancient game of "wink" was
! played and Ella distinguished her
self by keeping three chairs at
once. And say, twas an easy mat
ter to pick the old bachelors for
when they'd get winked to a rock
ing chair, there they'd stay.
Matching partners was the next
on the program aud the most fun.
You'd see one boy standing over
in one corner recitIns poetry, an
other out in the middle of the floor
sucking his thumb, still another
trying to run Ford, another Civ
ing us a eornet solo and another
throwing kisses at the preacher.
And there were others scratching
their nose, rubbing their chin,
standing on one foot, growing like
a rooster, whlstIIng yankee Doc
dle', sticking out his tongue and
dozens of others too numerous to
mention.
Were you there? Well, If you
weren't, you missed a time Of your
life, and if you were you know all
about it so why say more?
One Of the Guests.
