Hither the whole countryside resorted to see the fun and participate in the amusements, chief of which was dancing. Among the gail decorated booths those for eating and drinking were the most important, ancilbefore them, dur- ing the day, a few planks were laid, upon which the boys, with their shillelahs, and the girls, with their gowns pinned up behind them, went through the difficult steps of the Irish jig, while the older men and women ad- mirin 1y looked on at the double shuffle of heel and toe. In 1845, the ttFair ceaseg to be an institution, and Donn brook gradually developed into one of the most charming and aristocratic suhurbs of Dublin. Time idealized the fair and today, in place of the drinking and fighting of long ago, it is famed in song and story as a place of wit and humor. From THE HISTORY OF GOUCHER COLLEGE INTRODUCTION 3
