tournament played thru the
winter by Mr. and Mrs. Jake

Paul Williams - women againe;
the men - ended with the men
seven games ahead. It had
been agreed that the grand
prize would be a dinner give:i
by the losers to the winners,
The dinner was held on the
evening of St. Patrick’s Day
«+. Vinmfi of Mr. and Mrs.
Jake Laubscher. The fact
that the men guests are stil

LEARN TO TAKE IT.
Girls, please learn to take
it on the chin.
No use to grumble, you migh
as well grin?
Now, playing pinochle is an
' art -
And your chanceb to win
were small from the
start.
We'll give you credit for
having what it takes
When it comes to boasting
or baking a cake.
We like to watch you knit
and weave
And slip the aces from your
sleeve -
But you'll have to admit
your aCes were trumped
Because your opponents were
far from chumps;
So give us & break,Girls
you threw the loop
So please don't put poison 1
in our soup.
