You are invited to attend the Silk Sock Social to be held at the People’s Christian Church… [caption title] [with three miniature silk socks]

Invitation to a charitable fundraiser held by the Lend-a-Hand-Society of the People’s Christian Church in Dover, Delaware. The invitation is accompanied by three miniature silk socks with drawstring tops—like silk purses.

The idea was to put one’s donation in the sock and bring it to the church social: “This little sock we send to you, / It’s not for you to wear— / Please multiply your size by two, / And place therein with care. So if you wear a No. 10 / You owe us twenty—see? / Which drop’d within the little sock / Will fill our hearts with glee.”

Price: $125.00
