SPRING SOCIAL AFFAIRS

Milford social life during the past
week has given way to only one large
function, which, however, alone has
made the week memorable, comprising
all that a charming hostess, gay gath
ering of guests, and two popular hon
orees could ask in the way of buffet
supper. Seasoned with the stimulating
chatter of congenal friends, sailed with
the best music four piece orchestra,
a sOloist and quartet could aHord,
this brilliant affair contributed in ltseh
a red letter chapter to the social an
nails of Milford Mr. and Mrs. Frank
De Armand gave the supper on Sunday
night in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. William
+. Lohand whose marriage has recent
ly been announced, and, in response TO
the following clever invitation many cl
the guests sent their acceptances also
in verse:
There are strange things that happen,
No one can tell,
Not only to chickens,
But old Hens as we'll
They go off stroling
And steal their nest,
They may only be trying
10 find which is best,
We'll have to excuse them
And give them a boost
For they're our old Blue Hens Chicks
Come home to roost
Now you all may wonder
Just who this is,
Well it's Bill Lofland
And our own "Mary Liz"
Now we will give them a party,
So come If you can,
twill be at The Towers,
Yours truly,
Among the acceptances were, from
MIR and Mrs. c. e. Varney:
We always will rally round our old
friends
Especially the "chicks" of the old "5lue
Hen"
So count US in on your party of Boos-
tiers,
For Names a good "egg" and "8lII" is
some Booster"
And that combination should take like
the Dickens"
So here's a toast to the health of these
Blue Hens Chickens.
So if "Stude" behaves and don't throw
a tire,
You can look for Charles and better
half "Riar."
From Dick (George) Draper:
Am accepting your invitation
And want to make it rhyme,
Seems III never get an inspiration
Have found three girls without a man |
Which gave me quite a thrill,
Will bring them to your party, Ann,
To boost "Mary Liz" and "Bill."
Rachel, Lib and Laura,
With whom, ] admit, I'm thick,
Are looking forward to tomorrow
"Me too"---"And HoW'-Dick.
Misses laura SaleVan and Elizabeth II
Carlisle said:
These two stray chickens
OF the old Diamond State,
VIII be at The Towers
And they won't be late.
YOUR have to excuse them
If they don't have a man,
For "Mary Liz" fooled them
And married Bill Lof-land.
We are grateful to you
And this amt no fib,
For your kind Invitation
To Laura and Lib.
Mr.. and Mrs. James F. Alec of Do
yer, answered.
It will give US great pleasure
To meet Bride and Groom
And wish them full measure
Of joy-none of gloom; II
So thanks to you, Friend,
For your bid to 1.-THE Towers" II
Well work toward that end,
The delight will be ours.
