q box social given at the home of
Lester Fleming Friday evening, De-

ladies Of the Baptist church:
This little sock l give to you
Is not for you to wear.
Please multiply your size by two
And place therein with care,
In pennies or in cents
Just twice the number that you wear
We hope it is immense.
So IL you wear number ten
You owe us twenty, see?
Which dropped within the sox
Will fill our hearts with glee.
IT'S all we ask, IT isn't much
And hardly any trouble,
But IL you only have one foot
Wen surely charge you double,
Now If you have friend quite dear
You'd like to bring with you,
Or IL you know someone who'd come
Well gladly give you two.
So don't forget the place or date
Well answer when you knock,
And welcome you with open arms
But Don't Forget the Sock.
