 Mrs. F. O Richmond. Mrs Roberts.
 and Mrs Urquhart took the early train
 for Prescott Mrs. Mcqueen went on
 the Daylight express. Whether the
 new train schedule was planned with
 Iron Springs specially in View. or not
 1t serves our purposes to good advan-
 tage, giving the people at the Springs
 an opportunity for an all day visit or
 a short shopping expedition to our
 nearby city. On dancing nights, Tues
 days and Saturdays, the excursion
 train is so timed as to make it pos
 sible for all to dress in holiday attire after supper and appear al the station
 for chat and promenade before the
 evening entertainment. Light dresses and dainty ribbons give a pleasant suggestion of summer evenings in
 Phoenix and hot and dusty as the
 home town may be all hearts turn toward it loyally and lovingly
