they need more room.
The lawn party given by the ladies of the
Ascension Episcopal church, at the grounds
and residence of Aid. David Bronson Thurs
day evening, was the most successful OF any
thing OF, the kind given for years. The
grounds were admirably fitted for such
gathering, being terraced and having a num-
Der of trees of large size. There were fes-
toOns of Chinese lanterns suspended be-
tween the various trees. while at other
points they were arranged in the forms of
stars and circles. Besides these the grounds
were lighted with several engine headlights
and gasoline burners. The tables, which
were bountifully provided with whatever
would please the taste, were arranged on
the beautiful greensward, and were sur
rounded continually by those who were
anxious to assist the church. The ladies
bestowed every attention upon their guests,
and did everything to pass pleasant even
ing. Members Of Company K, to the num-
Der of forty-eight. were present and gave
an exhibition drill The band was also
present and contributed much to the en- =
tertainment. The ladies, one and all, de-
serve credit for the pleasant evening pro-
vided, but none more so than Mrs. David
Bronson, who made it so agreeable at her
home. She provided the greater part of
the hand and buttonhole bouquets from her
superb floral gardens. and yet there was an
| abundance left on the monster rose trees.
The scene was a brilliant one, and young
| and old enjoyed themselves as they have
| seldom done.
