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.

tennial street was in festive array,
and the good old Saint had left mo
tifs of every nature to accentuate an
appropriate and beautiful setting for
those in attendance. Indeed a pic
ture—freshness, charm, and petite
beauty of youth—background of cheer,
warmth, and happiness. Pardon a
few old herats that cried in agonizing
but inaudible tones ^ “Turn backward.
turn backward, 0 Time in your
flightl”
A hearty greeting was extended by
Miss Helen Bailey, Mesdames Pringle
Copeland and Homer Henry. Miss
Mary Henry, wearing a gown of hand
some peach georgette with silver

heavily beaded and with a corsage of
pink Kilarney roses. Other honor

From a beautnully appointed Valen
tine table, Mrs. George A. Copeland,
mother of the bride-elect, and Mrs.
Jack H. Young, poured tea. Sand
wiches, nut bread, dates and tea were
served by Misses Margaret Finley,
Lucy Bailey, Alden Bailey and Elise
Henry. Attractive favors were pin
ned. Graciously receiving in the

lard and S. Gary Dillard. Misses Nell
Clapp, Maude Ellis and Mrs. R. W.
Wade delighted the guests with en
joyable musical numbers.
While entertaining the receiving
party Miss Henry presented Miss

of God.
Third, That we set apart a page in
