To the delight of all Aunt Polite
Henton, of Pelzer, was there, giving
sunshine and glee to the crowd.
Though she is in her SD year, she
is as spry and even more jolly than
SO many Of our young people.
About half past 10 o'clock dinner
was spread in a lovely grove. 1t is
needless to comment on the beauty of
the table as 1t stood before us, say
ing: Welcome ye to my abundant
store of eatables."
The afternoon was spent by the
young people strolling along the
river banks, where Cupid always de-
lights in sport. And the Blind Little
One succeeded so we'll in his work
that he almost blinded his subjects.
Any way, they were enough blind to
the sinking sun that they found the
day far gone when they returned to
the grove.
Of sweet voices and instruments was
impressive. The music was so gentle
and sweet that many Of us older ones
were carried back in mind to the days
when we, too, were young and found
great satisfaction in such. Another
feature of qualification was the ice
lemonade, watermelons and musk
melons placed at the disposal of all
who desired to partake.
But the best Of friends must part;
so each began to bid the other adieu,
emphasizing the fact that the day had
been most pleasantly spent and that
it would long be remembered.
