SOCIAL GOSSIP.


the roads were good. As early as half
past three o'clock the young people
whom Mattson Baldwin had invited 10
90 out and formally open the Meadow
Brook lodge, began to drive out to the
Baldwin farm. By six o'clock there
was gathered together as jolly crowd
of young people as one could wish for.
There were about thirty in the party.
The picnic spirit was on. Convention
was left at home, congeniality taking its
place. The young ladies brought ham,
pers Of delicious lunch, and the long
table in the dining room was soon filled
with baskets. Meanwhile the more
energetic Of the young men, among
whom we're George Woods, Ray WEIGH,
Lew Marshall, Charlie Burr, Joe
Mallalieu and Will Meyer, got out on
the greensward and tossed ball and
pitched horse shoes, alias quoits, and
otherwise developed muscle and pers-
piration. Frank Zehrung, with that
honest and outspoken Discrimination for
hard and unnecessary manuel labor, re-
manned about the lodge, preferring,
pending the announcement Of supper,
to enjoy the society of the ladies and
other men similarly disposed. and the
entertaining companionship of late
numbers Of Truth, the lodge being
particularly well equipped in this
respect. The house had been rendered
specially attractive, and its comforts
were fully enjoyed. 1t was perhaps
half-past six o'clock when the fried
chicken and chocolate cake, the potato
salad and boiled eggs, the fruit
and other delicious what not, were
arranged in inviting profusion on
the dining table, and the merry party
sat down to enjoy picnic lunch in
doors, served with many of the comforts
of home. Afterward the spirit of the
occasion manifested itself in many ways
that contributed to the pleasure of the
party. Mr.. and Mrs. F. w. Baldwin
drove out during the evening and wit
messed the fun. The rugs were removed
from the dancing floor and Mattson
Baldwin, George Woods and others
danced for the crowd. George Woods
was prevailed upon to act as auctioneer
and he essayed the role to perfection.
The sale was limited to articles Of
virtu and Frank Zehrung was placed
under the hammer. Something, either
the auctiOneer's glowing description or
the real merit of the article itself, slim
ulated the bidding, and it looked at one
time as if Mr.. Zehrung would fetch a
really high price; but he was bid in and
knocked down for trifie of SO, 000, 600
to Miss Grace Oakley. The other men
refused to be sold at the nominal figures
prevailing. and Mr.. Woods turned his
talents in other directions. hedelivered
addresses, appeared in burlesque and
melodrama and was generally enter
tanning. Other leading entertainers
were Matt Baldwin and Guy Hurlbut.
Then stories were told and there was
much singing. 1t was eleven o'clock
when the party started for home. In
the party were: Mr.. and Mrs. George
j. Woods. Mr.. and Mrs. Charles L. Burr,
MIR. and Mrs. Lew Marshall, Mr.. and
Mrs. John T. Dorgan, Misses Name
Carson, Henrietta Hollowbush. Bessie
