For The Eyes Of The Public.
We,the undersigned committee,
after much meditation, great de
liberation and still greater antici
pation, do hereby make the fol
lowing suggestions to the Spins
ters’ Club of Perry with reference
to the work during the summer.
The latter part of April we
shall have ,a haukerchief bazaar
in connection with an ice cream
festival. This occasion shall be
a grand rally, and we trust each
Spinster will contribute some
thing to the evening, even though
it be her charming appearance
and winning ways.
The place for the rally shall be
in the Armory grove of the Perry
Rifles.
Secondly. The first part of
June we hope to give a “theatri
cal” in the stately building of the
Perry High School. This shall be
full of tragedy and pathos, show
ing much culture, refinement and
tallent, where gallant knights
with drawn swords shall rush
forth to defend blushing Spinsters.
Let every young lady be adver
tising for such knights in the
meantime.
Respectfully submitted,
Leonora Edwards,
Kathryne Martin,
Willie Cooper, Chairman.
