It's q paradox
On the laws of light
And it's strange, but yet we mark
That these moonlight nights
AIRS as light as day
For a good while after dark.
That is what a party of Woodstown's
young folks realized last Saturday even
ing, when a moonlight run was made to
Mullica Hill and returr. Just at the
time that the harvest. moon was joining
it's light with the fading sunlight and
adding a new spark to the dying embers
of a September day, the party set out
single file through the town. 1t was a
beautiful night, with good roads, clear
moonlight and cool b~reezes; and with the
moderate pace maintained, the run over
was accomplished with ease and pleasure
in about an hour. Upon their arrival
there the cyclers were received by Mrs.
Parker and her daughter, Miss Anna, at
their home, and were made to feel glad
they had chosen Mullioa Hill as their
destination. Music, singing, Rotations
and dancing, with occasional renditions
by Shinn's "Band," were INDUCED in for
over two hours, as a sort of unconscious
preparation of appetites for an unex-
pected feast. Just before leaving for
homo a delightful breeze sprung up, and
with this at their backs, they fonnd even
Increased pleasure on the homeward
trip. In the party were Misses May R.
and Cora B. W~eatherby, Julia 81. Elton,
Sara French, Helen Jaquette, Sara
Fogg, Martha Clayton, Miss Mai Clayton
and Warren Shinn on tandem, Messrs.
William Clayton, Fred. P. Bushnell,
Samuel H. Weatherby, Alvah Bushnell,
Jr., and LIE Grand virgins, all of whom
voted it a most pleasant evening.
