New Lithuanian Girls Club
Naujienos, May 20, 1914.
This new club me quite recently organized by the Bridgeport Lithuanian girls. The purpose of this club is for getting acquainted with the young man and holding courteous social gatherings at least once a month.
Last Wednesday the girls had the first courtesy dance at the Mark White Square Park Hall, 30th and Halsted. We believe that these courteous social gatherings will lead further and the result will be marriages among these young people. This club will be the place where Cupid will concentrate his barrage of fire and there will be many casualties, no deaths but severe wounds in many hearts. The attack by Cupid is imminent, and we expect about ten young people on the casualty net. From the estimate of the situation, we can easily see that ten young hearts will be pierced by Cupid’s arrows and their single life will end either at the altar or at a minister's home. We wish those young people the best luck in the world. Some widows, grass widows, and the old bachelors became joyful when 2 they heard of this new girls' club. their emotions were around and they are thinking of marriage now. Those who had not been married yet and those who had been married are all planning to get married. It is interesting to see the widowers thinking of getting married again. The girls' club, we believe, gave than an inspiration to get married. But they cannot marry any girl from the girls' club became those girls are too young for them. Widowers and bachelors will have to look for partners of their own age. Old bachelors and widowers will have to establish their own matrimonial bureau, because they are too old to mix with the young crowd.
The girls’ club is very successful so far, and is getting more new members at every meeting. We wish you much luck, girls!
