Twenty-Five Detroit street misses
rose early in the morning Thursday
and with we'll filled baskets hied them
selves to Campbell's grove east of town,
and at half past five were busily en-
gagged spreading their tables. Coffee
and fried eggs were served hot and it
was a jolly crowd of girls with not a
man in sight.
After the strawberries and cream
had been eaten, 10 a man appeared!
Ned Campbell came for the cows. Does
any one suppose he knew those young
ladies were there. If not, why did he
instead of younger brother come for
Sukey and Velvet on this particular
morning?
He was an innovation to be sure but
very welcome guest, and added a
whole lot to the good time the girls
did have.
The picnickers were: Misses Ger
trude and Ada Anderson, and their
friend, Miss Clark, of Cleveland, Ola
