Enjoyable Evening Companies Given the
Past Week Among Our Young
People.
While the midsummer social season
has been somewhat quiet to what it
usually has been for this season
of the year, the young people
have not let the time lag on without
indulging in some social pastimes, and
in several cases where parties were not
extended by the hostesses, they have
taken it upon themselves to make the
necessary provisions to enter in and
make such social gatherings a success
and pleasure to all concerned. Such
has been the case the past week. We
note the following parties:
A party of jolly young people chap
eroned by Mrs. G. o. Swinney, moved |
off to Woodland Beach yesterday to |
spend the week camping out in one |
