Views Popular Resort.
HUSBANDS ENTERTAINED.
Sixty Denison People Enjoy all Kinds of
Fun at Wall Lake on Friday--Fish-
ing. Boat Riding. Swimming.

quite the most SucceSStul nOlluiy
jaunt of the year was that given by
the Penelope Club on Tuesday last
The ladies of the Club entertained
their families in royal style. and every
one present declared it to have been
the jolliest day on record.
The picnicers took possession OF the
Boyer Valley train early Tuesday
morning. filled the baggage car with.
lunch baskets, and told the engineer
just to hit the high places an the high |
line. The train went on through to
Lake View for the accommodation of
the excursionists. and at that point |
they embarked on the steamer across
the lake to Lake Park. Dinner was
served, and the good things gave pleas
ant augury of the afternoon of fun.
All went in for good time and they
had it. Even the lady whose cake was
stolen. felt so good that she inter-
ceded for the youthful poacher. Bath
ing suits were produced and the demure
danes of the Penelope Club took a
lesson in the art of swimming under
the willing and solicitous instructions
of the gentlemen of the party. Fish
ing and boat riding came IN for their
share. but we understand that the
supply of fish from the lake was not
greatly diminished There was
fear on the part of some of the men
that they had eaten everything for
dinner, but supper revealed heavily
laden tables, and it is said that the
party might have staid another day
before the provender ran out. SO de-
lighted were the gentlemen with the
trip that the following resolutions
were presented to the ladies by Judge
Conner:
WHEREAS, The ladies of the Pene-
lope Club have furnished US, their
husbands, most royal treat in the
trip and outing to Wall Lake. and
WHEREAS. The features OF the "trip
have been such as to meet our highest
hopes and expectations, therefore be 1t
RESOLVED. BY the husbands of the
ladies of the Club, that we are IN
debted to the Club for all and singular
attentions bestowed upon us. promi-
nent among which may be mentioned
the bounteous banquet spread for us:
the opportunity furnished US to instruct
the members of the Club in the art OF
swimming: the engaging society of its
members while on the lake fishing and
boat riding. and the assurance given
us that we are the best husbands the
Club ever had: and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of these
resolutions be rendered the Club for
the purpose OF having the same spread
upon their records.
Signed by Com. of Husbands.
This attention was greatly appreciat
ed by the ladies, who were however
too non-plussed TO make answer at this
time When the train stopped "a
Boyer, however, Mrs. J p. Conner
the president OF the Club, replied TO-
the ladies in fitting manner. We re
greet that Mrs. Conner did not reduce
her remarks to writing.
1t was after ten o'clock when tn,
excursion party reached Denison, tireC
but good natured, and feeling that the.
had enjoyed one of the red-letter day
of their lives. The Penelope Club i
one of the jolliest of the many ladies
organizations. Since the picnic. tn
men folks are inclined to look upo
woman's clubs in general, and tn
Penelope in particular, with niue
more pleasure than heretofore.
