Literary Societies.
The Wilsonians met Friday morn
ing at their regular meeting place, in
the ninth grade class room. AS there
was no business to come before the
order we proceeded with the program
We were first amused with Jokes by
Elizabeth Riordan, then we came down
to real business while Fairy Russell
read current events The next number
was a debate: Resolved, That the
mental capacity OF woman is as great
as that of man" OF course we know ii
is, and as the judges sided with us we
were sure OF it (as if mere judges could
assure us). This was followed by a
few poppy yells and songs, after which
we adjourned. Naomi Stewart Re
porter.

Counts Comments.
We'll folks, we're on our feet again
The shoes we so hoped for Christmas
failed TO arrive: we are sure someone
sent us pair. but for some reason,
probably the negligence OF the post
man. they went somewhere else
Well, we hope they need theR as bad
w as we did. All that poem, although
i brought us no shoes, saved us the
price OF a hair cut that week; we
scratched it all out trying to THINK
of something else which might touch
your hearts
Here's another; We'll take thirty
five cents for the copyright OF TINS
gem:
On Wednesday morning week fore
To the school room | was tardy,
For | was listening to sweet girl tell
nf 4La color pf her bOdV
Now this would seem delicate thing
To talk about so loudly,
But-as / stood without sound
/ heard one girl say proudly.
NV body lines are oh! 50 smooth
And such a lovely tint
That when exposed to sunbeams bright
The passing eyes all squint
at is a lovely golden hue,
The lightest OF brown I'd call 1t,
And only a single blemish
Which in the least might spoil 1t.
81 know that yours is pretty
Said the other with smile.
you've had most all the compliments
For quite a long, long while
"But now mine stands out foremost
In this city Of connolsseurs,
For mine is a better color
Than that body OF yours.
"And as to lines OF loneliness,
You know mine stands out best,
And as to the matter OF color
Mines far above the rest.
you know that very pale olive
Is prettier than very light brown;
/ know it's hard to give in,
So I'll excuse your trown.
Then Just as I was leaving
The place where | didn't belong
/ heard a clear note ringing
1t was the old school gong
= Excuse me folks. for carelessness
~ My poem % was at first turned
down,
|@fnstead Of the points generally get
! only received frown.
