GAVE A PRETTY LAWN F'ETE.
One of the most enjoyable events OF
the past week was the lawn social al
| the residence Of Mr.. ]. A. Allison o.
| University avenue, West Side. which oc-
Cured on last Friday evening. The af-
| fair was given under LII" auspices of
| the West Side Methodist Sunday school,
! and every one acquainted with the
! crowd Of young people OF that church,
knows that everything was as enjoya-
! Die as Il was possible 10 make it.
The lawn surrounding the house was

| faces of the daughters Of their mothers
who love ice cream, freely intermingled
with the young men who also have a
liking for cream, and whose liking does
not stop there.
Above the tables a. frequent intervals
were hung japanese lanterns, and from
distance the scene was a most attrac-
tive.o one. Upon the parking were arrang-
ed chars and settees for the accommo-
Gation Of those who did not care 10 prom

facilities were provided. Within the

the orchestra, and the waves OF sound
which emanated from the open windows
were of the kind which inspires those
who listen with the spirit OF the cadence,
and as consequence the pleasures OF

Rebekah at the well. who on this occa-
sian was ably personated by young
man, Mr. Perne Rawson. The tables
were presided over by the following
ladies: Mesdames Allison, Howard. Bur-
rows and Snyder; Mise Caltha Martin
dale, Made Rawson, Mollie Thompson
and Myrtle Evans. The social was
largely attended, quite a large number
coming from the most distant parts OF
the city and the enjoyment OF those
presen. was as complete as il could be
The gathering did not break up until
quite late hour, and no one went away
wishing otherwise than that another
event os like enjoyment should occur
again. and that they would be able 70
be one OF those who might again enjoy
it.
