! Merriment by Moonlight.
, Initial Picnic and Soiree Dansante of Il:
Wenonah Social Club.
Last Wednesday evening, Fernando,
grove was the scene of the most enjoyabl
social event of the season. The picnic give
D by the Wenonah Social Club passed off wit
S greatest eclat and success. Upon an im
: mense platform erected for the occasion
t the devotees of fair Terpsichore indulget
the pleasure of tripping the light faatasti
toe" to their hearts content-and man,
indeed were the sincere and justly deserved
ordinations of surprise uttered by tn.
new corners, as they entered, what to all ap
; pearances was dainty, fairy bower.
The grounds and platform were illumi
nated-with Chinese lanterns and torchlights
and garlands Of evergreens and flowers
were strung across the platform in many
!, tasteful devices. Particularly. deserving Of
mention and rejecting great credit upon
its maker was large SIG monogram OF
the club beautifully arranged with colore]
lights. 1t was lovely in the extreme. Out
side upon the lawn the refreshment tables
we're spread and from P. NJ until 4:3O A.
N. on Friday, there seemed to be one con-
tinual throng of weary dancers encircling
them, enjoying the cool, delicious creams
and lemonades or supper and wines. Quite
an elegant supper was served to the guests
at,alny and all times during the night and,
with its. gooaly accompaniment of wines
| and liquors, was all that could be wished
for by the most fastidious epicure. A large
number of our town society ladies and gen.
/ tlemen were present and they all speak in
glowing terms of praise of their evenings
entertainment and Of the cordial welcome
extended to them by the members of the
w. S. @. Last Wednesday evening was GER
tainly red letter evening for the young
folks Of this and the adjoining parishes and
will be long remembered for one of the
grandest and most enjoyable entertain
ments ever given in this vicinity.
Among the young people from this place
who participated in the pleasures offered
on that eventful evening we're Misses Ade-
line Israel, Lisette Israel, Laure Richard,
Louise Mollere, Clara Heating, Mrs. Will

Messrs. Will and Allen Mavor, Leon Levy,
Theo. Reboul, Melville Israel, F. N. Gray
Sidney Landry, Adolphe Meter, A. Bethan- !
court, FL. Buquoi, Chas. A. Maurin. All re-
turned home after daylight. Music for the !
90 frv nd Rr, 10, 4
vile Independent Brass Band and they dis |
themselves. From "early eve
to dewy morn" the delicious strains of
their music were waited to the dancers on
the breezes of night, swelling at times like
some grand old anthem and then dying
away, as it were, like some soft sweet strain
from molian atrings. All were charmed with
their melody and praised "our" musicians
highly.
To havepartioipated in the pleasure af-
torded by the eentlemaply. members of the
= Wenonah" on last Wednesday evening is
certainly to have enjoyed a rare treat. Our
slowing Young folks will long re-,
member the moonlight picnic as the great
event of the season of '85 and will never
,ease to think kindly of the hospitable gen.
lemen by whom they were so courteously
'eceived and welcomed. Long life and
prosperity to the "Wenonah" and health.
and honor to its officers and
pembe-s. May success ever attend them
n all their efforts. and may they never for
'et our town folks in the distribution of
heir invitations, is wish re-echoed in the
