Upon invitation it was the privi-
lege of the writer to attend the G. l..
s. Circle picnic, at that delightful re-
sort, Dunbar's Cave, where, with
coolest breezes, superb scenery and
cultured company, not to enjoy ones
self would be impossible. We reached
the Cave at 10 O'Clock, spent the time
socially together until dinner was an
nounced, when all gathered about
the table with appetites sharpened by
our morning drive and the exhiler-
ating atmosphere CT the cave; we
were in good order to do justice to
the feast set before us. O, that din
ner! My pen beggars description.
One thing we observed, that the lit
erary attachments of the Chautau-
Guians do not in the least interfere
with their culinary arts. Such deli
cious bread, meats, cakes, ice-cream,
etc., was a fit feast for the gods-in-
deed the picnic was feast from be-
ginning to end.
Afternoon the class was called to
order by the president, Mrs. o. M.
Blackman, when "the feast Of rea-
son and flow of soul' began. First
on program was quotations on trees,
from the class and their guests, in
Guiding little Misses McCauley and
Keith. Next a song, "Hymn of
Greeting" from G. l.. S. G. song
books, led by Misses Herndon and
Caldwell, Mesdames Hodgson and
Major; reading by Mrs. Hodgson,
Observation-Disclosures of Women"
Mrs. Carlisle, "The Leaning Tower"
Maggie Neblett gave the story of
"Virginius," nicely related; Glenn
mie Atkins read the present Pope
of Rome" we'll; Mrs. Herndon,
poem, liking Victor Emmanuel" /;
Mrs. Byrne related the story of "The
Last Days of Pompeii" in beautiful
manner Mrs. McGehee read an arti-
Gle on Rome; Mrs. Lee Pickering
sketch of Savanarola Miss Ina Cole
man, "The Legend CT st. Mark" af-
ter which Miss Senborne related
scenes of her travels in Rome little
Alice Pickering recited Richard of
Gloster, and right well she did it.
Little Hettie Major recited "What
Pve got in my pocket, which proved
to be a crushed egg, after which Mrs.
Blackman read an original essay on
Chautauqua, its object, origin, etc.,
when little FEMME Herndon gave us
"Mud Pies" which recitation proved
to be a dessert indeed, as all enjoyed
it immensely; song by class, "God
be with YOU" after which the doxol-
ogy was sung by all. Thus closes
the class of 100, ~ meet again in Sep
TENDER.
Supper at 6 o'clock, at which time
the president called the attention of
each to a handsome cake, with class
name (Pierians) and their flower, the
tube rose, for decorations. The flow
er, the handiwork of Mrs. Blunt
the cake a souvenir from Mrs. DIR.
McCauley, who also presented the
class with the favors of the occasion,
fancy cakes decorated with notices
of class and tied with ribbons.
Mrs. Rlackman thereby impressed
it upon her guests that it was some
thing, as we could observe, to be a
''she talker," and we honestly believe
it, for theirs is the highest order OF
intellect, with Christianity inscribed |
upon their banner. May they con-
Iinue to increase in membership I'M
i'll they become as numberless as the
stars, is the wish of an admiring
GUEST.
