The past week has been one unusually
fitted for picnics and outdoor affairs OF
all kinds. There have been several pic
mics and outings of a days duration dur
ing the week. and almost without excep-
ton they seek the borders Of the Little
river.
Among the others, II Is scarcely prob
able that there has been any affair more
enjoyable to those who participated, than
the outdoor party given on Friday by
5Grs. Lafayette Simpson, assisted by a
few young ladies.
The merry crowd arose at an early
hour, and by o'clock were ready TO
start. A large wagon carried those who
did not go swheel, and the party pro-
ceeded to the north bank of the Little
river at Sullivans Dam. This location
is one OF the most rustic spots about the
city, and is an excellent place for a pri-
vate party although not widely known.
The crow7 had managed to sandwich
themselves in between many large bas-
kets amply filled with the wherewithal
10 appease the trouble a party Of young
people on an outing are usually afflicted
with. Upon arriving at the point men
toned, everything was arranged in true
camp style, this being one OF the feat
ures of the days enjoyment. a regular
camp was established, provisions made
for fire, and everything a fully equip
ped camp possesses was to be found
there.
Large blankets were spread out upon
Ne ground, and the merry crowd pro-
ceeded 10 indulge in games to their en-
tire satisfaction. It was not a bolster
Gus rJistering crowd, but their manner
OF procedure was equal in enjoyment, if
not somewhat in advance of that man
ner Of most outings.
At II o'clock dinner was prepared in
nearly full keeping with regular camp
life A fire was built, delicious coffee
and other things prepared, and these
with abundance which had been prepar-
ed before, was spread out in the midst
Of the space covered by the blankets and
comfOrters, and the jolly, chatting, BAN
tering crowd sat down to as daintily
prepared a repast as could have been
within the most scrupulOUs kitchen with
its electric stove and refrigerator.
been tastefuliy arranged springs of green
to be had on every hand. Nothing was
wanting, china. dainty glassware and
silverware formed the table furnishings,
and stranger still nothing was broken
save the strictest OF conventionaiity.
The table-or more strictly the space
above the table cloth-was loaded with
everything which the season affords,
and it was partaken Of with the full zest
OF the occasion. The spread surrounded
by its fringe OF happy young people,
would have been an excellent study for
the brush OF master. They looked in
deed as though cares were something
never heard of, and 70 say that it was
inspiring above the usual parties of this
kind is sufficient.
After dinner was disposed of the great
er part OF the number went wading, 9TH
srs took maps or read for an hour or
TWO, when boating and emulating the
bullet down the chute was the order Of
the day OF all OF them.
AT a reasonable hour supper was prepar-
ed in much the same manner as the
previous meal, the table made equally as
dainty IN appearance, the party none the
less jolly. Supper was completed in
time to break camp and be on the road
before dark, and none Of the party were
suffering from the complete exhaustion
which usually follows a picnic, but no
picnic contained a crowd who enjoyed |
themselves more thoroughly. Those |
comprising the party were: Mrs. Lafay- !

Miss Eva Simpson, Miss Catherine Simp- |
son, Miss Lou Simpson. Miss Marie |
