Mr.. and Mrs. William Brown 8 fancy
dress party on Tuesday evening is one
of the most delightful memories Of the
week.
The hosts guests included the mem
bers of the Merry -Go-Round club all
of whom were garbed as children.
A Christmas tree loaded with all
manner of gifts, and glittering with
tinsels and lights, formed considerable
merriment.
During the evening the guests were
given cards from which they quoted
the familiar old ballad, Backward,
Turn Backward cleverly adapted by
Mrs. Brown, for the occasion.
Here is the poem:
Backward, turn backward, on time
in your flight.
Make us all kids again, just for to-
night,
Make us all kids, full Of hope and of
Playing around at this gay Christmas
spree.
We want to try, these coming weeks to
be found
On time at our place in the 'Merry-go-
round.
For Of such are the ones TO the Christ
mas tree bid.
Backward, turn backward; make each
one kid
I'VE want to see the mosquito net
fixed
Into neat little bags for the striped
farmers mixed;
We want to see the grave minister
trick
Himself out in duds of the jolly Saint
We want to stand VITA our class in a
Reciting in chorus, The Beautiful
Snow'
We want to hunt where the peanuts
are hid;
Backward, turn backward; make each
one a kid.
Backward, turn backward, o Time in
your flight;
Make us all kids again, full Of delight,
We will play with our toys just as all
kiddies do;
We II romp and play games and per
form stunts a few;
And we II eat kiddies goodies on this
glad Christmas night,
And no matter what happens, We II
think it just right.
For we want to do all of the things we
once did
Backward, turn backward; make each
one kid.
A handsome flower dish adorned
with birds and filled with fragrant mar
cissus blossoms, was placed at one enl
Of the attractive lunch table, while an
art basket of holly decked the other.
Covers were placed for twenty-five.
