at Bombay Hook Light House-KentOu
Party-OId Maids Club at Woodland.


Two large hack loads to say nothing
of individual teams containing the W.
G. L. U. and friends of Smyrna, spent
yesterday at the Bombay Hook Light
house. Arriving atthe Light House
the company was received with true
hospitality by Captain and Mrs.
Benson and their kindness through
out the day was practical expires
sion of the greeting of foreign
people, 'all we have is yours" The
morning was spent on the lawn or
along the shore, where some of the
party built houses in the sand, as in
their happy childhooddays. At noon,
dinner was served in picnic style on
the lawn, and much enjoyed. The
meeting, considered ali important part
of the day, was held early in the after
noon. The president of the Smyrna
Union, Mrs. Kate E. Smithers presided
and made a thoughtful little speech.
Miss Margaret Lank read the 91st
Psalm and prayer was offered by Rev.
Albert Chandler. The speakers, Rev.
DIR. Robert Watt and Rev. Albert
Chandler, each made an excellent ad-
dress along the line of methods of
Temperance work, and it's great need
in our own, and other lands. The
music consisted of the singing of ap-
proprlate hymns. After the meeting
the time was spent socially, some of
the company taking walk by the shore
to the Bungalow, and returning by the
less difficult way of the road. In the
morning one of the gentlemen, Mr..
Joseph Smitbers went "a fishing" and
the result was fish for supper we'll
cooked by ladies of the party The
ride home early in the evening was
delightful, and the entire day was a
good time" and we regret that more
of our friends were not sin it."
