Howevelg since this was not to be hatL And thinking conditions very bad, They agreed a city'of their own to found, And all to do their share to be hound. They left their native town in tears, Full of hope and courage and many fears. They landed at length in a remote land, Far from home and a helping hand, A palace they found there large and old, And strong enough to hold the whole fold: Furnished with very fine taste and style, And altogether a grand old pile. In selecting ofhcers, especially the Mayor, They realized they'd come to pulling hair: Therefore they voted that by initials They would proceed to elect their officials. Macke for Mayor was a very fine choice; Sautow for Secretary was called by each voice; Suit the stenographer then was made; Wood the one who all wages paid. 19 .0000... 0.0.0.000... CIOIOOOOOOOOI...

X0 graft and no boss we insisted upon- We had come for pleasure, and also for fun. To satisfy our desire for pleasure He had, to be sure, more than one precious treasure. Miss Albert and Smith for us did sing; 0ft with their praises did our voices ring! tevington and Edwards books did write. Nor did they for the honors fight. Miss Grad and Powell could well recite; To Government House did the Mayor them invile. And there entertained the belles of the timee Miss Hargrave, Koch, and others mince Berne. Davis. Davidson, Rolth. Darrow, Fisher, Ries, Evens, Roifs. But pleasure was not the only thing. For our memories still to Old Hughes did cling: A body of learners instructed our claim Embshofi Le Count. Sehweninger. Strautman. They lectured on many original topics: r3esides these. Belmer Spoke on her trip to the tropics, And many an interesting lesson in Engiish XYas given by Knapp. who in this was dis- tinguished.

Iiopenhoefer conducted the dinners we gaVE. And invitations all did crave. To pen these notes we named M iss Penn. And them to the guests she did promptly send. ln the kitchen, then, dire confusion reigned, .Xnd the head cooks often illness feigned: Schliehte and Menninger of cakes had charge. Xnd .erleder made more candy than would hll a barge! All went well until Miss Russell Drew some pictures. and then came a hustle. Appreciate her art we could not. she thought. lnd decided to leave us, whom before she had sought. Immediately Gilbert rose and made speech. Saying that all we knew was juslt how to preach: '1 hat we promised our city would he ideal. Xnd declared that the men would to us lm-eel. We thought the situation over and Over. But we were unable quite, to recover From the legu- produced by the speech of Nell 1 1m quickly then spoke up Rodcnfels. Saying. undoubtedly we must stay And that men would anon to us tribute pay.

And threw in our lot in our city to stay. So stay we didibut not very long, For at home they saw that they were wrong; In enormous crowds the men came rushing. Each one the one in front of him pushing. Immediately at our feet did they fall, Imploring us with the voices of allot Only to come back to our native city, And on their lonely sculs to have pity; Saying that in all We should have our way, If only We would come hack and stay; Nothing we asked would be denied- Uhl Come hack ! all in unison cried. Again in the hall a meeting was held. And the death of our city was loudly knelled. Sn. after an absence of a single day, And since evelything was to be our way He decided to go would he no shame, And for our departure the men were to blame. So because we are always good and kind. Home went we. the broken hearts to bind. Sn ended our city. that town so ideal. lNhere all the men were to come and kneel. VVlth jay and glacluess. home we sailed. But it wasn't our fault that we had failed. BESSIE TENNENF-ALTAL
