THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1925 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON. S. C PAGE THREE SOCIETY EVENTS ;! | , of :; | INTEREST TO WO/^EN I Mrs. Larry B. Dillard, Society Editor! Telephone 154 ;; DREAMS Some tiny elves, one evening, grew mischevious, it seems, And broke into the storeroom where the Sandman keeps his dreams, And gathered up whole armfuls of dreams all bright and sweet, And started forth to peddle them adown the village street. Oh, you would never, never guess how queerly these dreams sold; Why, nearly all the younger folk bought dreams of being old: And one wee chap in curls and kilts, a gentle little thing, Invested in a dream about an awful pirate king. A maid, who thought her pretty name old-fashioned and absurd, . Bought dreams of names the longest and the queerest ever heard; And, strange to say, a lad, who owned all sorts of costly toys, Bought dreams of selling papers with the raggedest of boys. And then a dream of summer and a barefoot boy at play Was bought up very quickly by a gentleman quite gray; And one old lady—smiling through the grief she tried to hide— Bought bright and tender visions of a little girl who died. A ragged little beggar girl, with weary, wistful gaze, Soon chose a Cinderella dream, with jewels all ablaze— Well, it wasn’t many minutes from the time they came in sight Before the dreams were all sold out and the elves had taken flight. —Selected.
