Ilwaco springs was the scene of
one of its brightest society func-
tons on Wednesday evening last.
The occasion was inspired by the
arrival of Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Lei
lick of st. Paul who came straight
from the Hymenial Altar to this
neat and charming summer resort.
They were guests of Mrs. Lellick's
| sister, Mrs. G.. w. Deans. After
darkness had settled down upon
the little community and the whip
poor-will had seriously commenced
his melancholy song, there emerged
from one of the remote cottages a
weird procession. 1t filed past
"Nebis Lodge" A voice cried
"Halt Right about facet" and then
the strange assemblage returned
and grouped itself around the piaz-
"a upon which sat the startled bride
and groom. Strange sounds as of
many songs in many languages, ac-
| companied by musical instruments
hitherto unknown murdered the
silence of the camp.
| Some time later, when the crowd
had dispersed and silence like a
4 poultice had come to heal the blows
of sound" there had been songs,
calling forward the couple for rec
ognition, cheers for host and hos
tess, hospitality offered and much
good cheer.
Thus does the camp at Ilwaco
greet the strangers within its gates.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lellick returned to
St. Paul Saturday.
