and Meade Bowen drove up from
home, and took luncheon with us.
They came late so more accurately
speaking they took what was left OF
the evening lu ncheon. Through the
evening there were Lancaster guests
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Smith, and
M essrs Radibaugh, Axline, Martin
and Bininger. We have decided, or
the irony of fate decided for us that
Lancaster boys may be swagger and
so well developed in brain tissue as
to be able to talk coherently and
well, even through their chapeaux,
when talking of themselves, but To-
gan boys are just as sweet, and dear
after all and can talk like Lancaster
men If you give them a chance. So
all men look alike to us, if we are
partial to the boys of Mingo.
FR1DAY-Ruth Bishop and Sophia
Smith spent the afternoon with us
and we had palmistry reading on
the rocks. Cyrus Rochester who
had visited us two days returned
home in the evening with Frank
Work. We gave high class up to
date impersonation party and if the
genisus of the home city were i'm
itated, let them be happy that they
furnish ed us entertainment right
merry for the evening.
SATURDAY.-Miss Pauline Baum
gartner of Columbus and Mr. William
Cram of Marietta, joined the camp
ers and we ate with our Rogers sill
yer and imbibed from our fragile
Hariland cups, and lived a la Del
monico for twenty four hours. John
Henderson came in the evening TO
spend Sunday with us, and by the
way John to us is the incest boy who
| ever came down the Lancaster pike.
| SUNDAY.-Some of us went to
church in the morning and enjoyed
the Methodist service very much.
We had a dinner that Perone could
not eclipse with all his skill, din
ner prepared by Charlotte, Mamie
and Anna, and Billie Strentz and
WILDER Welty the epicureans, say
the same thing. Mr.. Strentz came
often to see us. he is so deucedly fond
of nature you know. Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Blasius, Miss Helen Blaslus,
and Messrs Houston, McManigal and
| Thurness were here for luncheon.
SO our last Sunday in camp was over
but the rocks rechoed with the music
we had until Monday. We were
very happy, and the only pang was
the thought that this Sunday was
the last.
MoNDAY.--Mrs. George Work and
son Sumner of Columbus were num-
bered with our party in the evening
but it did not squelch us into sedate
and demure attitudes because we
had another married woman in
camp.
TUEsDAY.-We had very jolly
day with friends, from home Mrs
Henderson, Ruth and Josie, Florence
Bright and Alice Schwenke came
with full lunch basket, and merry
moods for a tramp over the rocks
! Lucy Bowen ana her cousin Elsie
Teney, came up on the morning trair
and took dinner with us. Tide Hus
ton made call in the afternoon, tolc
us his fur NEST stories and impressed
us particularly with his veracity.
WEDNEsDAY.-Anna Smith anC
Mrs. Charles Lutz came up on theil
wheels for the day and in the after.
noon we all took hay wagon ride tC
the Reform Farm. The evening VIZ
will not soon forget it the last even
ing in camp and we sat up long int
the dusky misty hours of the night
Tears tears idle tears and now three
cheers for the campers for thei
friends for everyone who came to SCI
them and double cheers for the boy
the Lancaster boys and the Logan
boys because they are all nice ant
we love them and some of us Low,
them in fashion too tender TO
word. So with an apology for all thu
unkind things we have said and witt
triple emphasis on the good thing
we leave the vine clad, moss covered
rocks of Crystal Springs until an
other summer warns the world witt
its solar heat and brings us again t
the prettiest place in Ohio.
