her decks with big crowd of people
for trip down the bayou in the moon

niece, Miss May Grunewald of New Or
leans who has been the recipient of so
many favors here and in Austin. Miss
Grunewald has the chic and charm for
which the women OF New Orleans are
so justly famous, and was one of the
greatest attractions of "a very attractive
evening. The night was an ideal one, the
clouds having lifted during the afternoon
ana as the party drfted down on the

smooth that it harm3nlzes delightfully."-
with the spirit of a summer night the
beautiful bayou unfolded its verdure- clad
banks that lay in the pure light OF the

The Lawrence went down the bayou
several miles below Clinton. then turned
back again, stopping at Magnolia park
