or tle nOlludg ETluay ana euJOyeu luSti first picnic of the season. They made their start about o'clock in the morn ing. and drove about six miles north to the Old Home ranch. One of the girls said they just had fine "eats,' and then proceeded to tell of the let tuce sandwiches. salad. eggs, olives, and, in fact, everything that ever a picnic had. The whole day was per feet delight to the young people, who seemed to enjoy the outing. They all doubt if the stately teachers who went to Bisbee could have had half as much fun. The party was made up of Miss Ray Cohen, Kate Robson, Olive Wright, Mabel Summers, Adele Pax ton. Annie McCloud, Alice Sheppard, Lula Pierce, Jessie Prather. Margar- ct Dow, Mary Dunlap and Messrs, Her bert Preston and Rex Rice. The chap erones were Miss Briggs, Mrs. Chiluce and Mrs. Huddleston.
 
 Among our college students who will spend the summer in Douglas with their parents are MT. Walter Fox and Mir. Gessell. They are both attending college in the East, and are yet to be initiated into this great West of ours. It will be of interest to our tennis players, and. by the way, We have some experts at the sport, to know that Miss May Sutton, who has held the worlds championship at tennis for the past year, expects to go to England to compete for the honors this year. Miss Sutton felt she could not afford to make the trip again this year. but several influential people ft se pected before long that she will set sail for England. We are proud of Miss Sutton, whose playing is marked by all the originality we boast so much of. and are glad that for at least another year we can rest assured of a triumph. Miss Sutton's sister, Miss Florence, will go to Philadel- phia to compete for the prize in this country, and from the ardent praise given her by her sister, Miss Florence has every chance of a victory.
 The weddings are coming thick and fast. On last Wednesday evening there was pretty wedding solmenized at the home of Mir. and Mrs. J. Gassa- way. Mr Henry Ritchley and Miss Mamie Darrow were the contracting parties. and the ceremony was per formed in the presence of few i'm mediate friends, by Rev. T. F. Mo Courtney, of the Baptist church. The two young people are quite well known in Douglas. MT. Ritchley has been an employe of the Fl Paso & Southwes- tern tor over a year. and Miss Darrow came here recently from Colorado Springs. The young couple will en- toy very pleasant trip to the coast, md will in the future make Douglas their home.
 On last Thursday evening the pupils fourth, fifth. sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades, together with the teach CTS of our Dougla" ecsoG,H: enjoyed s very interesting illustrated lecture on the Philippine Islands, given by Prof. Lutz at the Seventh street school. Mir: Lutz has had four years of school work in these islands, and was able to make an instructive talk. He explained to the children how these littl islanders considered it privilege to study, and in numerous cases they had their books taken from them only during certain hours of the day, be cause they were too prone to devote too much time to study. The pictures ! dense and picturesque foliage of that country, and also the people. Most of the pictures were of school work, as the lecture was a portrayal of that life more than any other. MT. LutZ merits no small amount of praise for this en- deavor of his to fnre-est--t- the school children, and we feel sure that his eT- forts were fully appreciated.
 
 Any orc could have seen her stately 1 bending cXpectantly over the show case of one of our leading jewellers, though perhaps only a few did see. It was really a matter of some moment, and when she discovered she had been detected in the act of choosing-well you can guess-her embarrassment was nothing short of pitiful. and i'm mediately if not sooner she pleaded that the matter be kept from the SO ciety editor. It is wretched to have everyone avoid anything but the most frivolous talk for fear you will repeat it. But when this young lady finds that the matter has been kept secret she will, no doubt, be more liberal in the future.
 They have been justly called the jolly school teachers" and the name never became them more than when they departed Friday morning en route for Bisbee. The party was headed by Prof. Lutz, and was composed of the following teachers: Mrs. Anna Dyer, principal of the Fifteenth street school; Mrs. McDonald, Edith Flick finger, Nellie Majors, Sara Hooper, Barbara Rathael, Kate Christy, Ethele Moore, Hodgeman, Weber, Sroyies, Hirst. Norcop and Mrs. Florence Smith. They arrived in Bisbee, some of them for the first time, and found that no end of pains had been taken to make their stay an interesting and enjoyable one. They were rendered reception in the evening, and made 10 feel quite at home. Most of them returned to Douglas Saturday morn ing; several, however, made other trips, among them Miss Kate Christy, who win spend Saturday and Sunday in Cananea with friends. Miss Christy came from that place here. and will
