The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, July 5, 1889 Cavendish 7/5/1889 The ladies' aid society of the Universalist church will give an ice-cream sociable at the town hall, Friday evening, July 12th. All are cordially invited. Human nature recognizes no social bounds, as was illustrated the other day in this hamlet, when Mrs. W. shook the saucy offspring of Mrs. G., and the latter showed disapproval of the act by smiting Mrs. W. on the cheek. For Mrs. W. to respond by tearing the hair of Mrs. G., was just as natural. And so the scandal-loving tongues of the neighborhood were treated to a sweet morsel, rendered sweeter still by the fact that both belligerants were wives of leading men of the town.
