CLERKS ENJOY A Big OUTING
Woodward & LOthrop Employees
Spend Day at Marshall Hall.
Immense Crowd on Evening EOat.
Diversions that Kept the pie
nickers Busy.

Members and friends Of the woodward
& Lothrop Employees Relief Association
had an ideal evening for their seven
teenth annual outing 20 Marshall Hail
yesterday. Il is estimated that fully 800
persons went down on the $50 o'clock
boat the well-equipped steamer Charles
Manchester
Both the morning and afternoon boats
carried q light passenger list for Marshall
Hail. owing to the fact that ali the cm-
pioyes of the store did not get off until
the regular time yesterday afternoon.
Many tourists q the home and tomb OF
George Washington went down on the
afternoon trip. Those who went 10 the
historic old Marshall plantation were well
rewarded, however, for seldom. If ever
before, have the grounds been so beau
tlfuL
Many parents took their entire family
along, and the little ones romped on the
lawn to their hearts content. varying
their amusement with a swirl on the
merry-go-round. Little Tom and Mary
McSweeney varied the amusement for
the troupe Of little folk with a brotherly-
sisterly set-to over a large portion Of pie,
which Tommy deftly purloined from a
loaded lunch basket Tommy was willing
to divvy when Mary threatened 10 tell
mama. but his division was by no means
satisfactory. Mary then tried force, and
several Of the interested spectators took
a hand or rather finger in the pie, but
Tommy got away with the major portion
IN large, luscious half moons that would
have done credit 70 a plantation negro
with neighbours watermelon
These were all more or less aside how
ever. as the real outing was not on until
the laden evening boat arrived. Shop
talk was apparently tabooed for the
closest attention could discern no men
tion of ribbons. dress shields. and Mamie s
beaux. Aside from the regular amuse-
meuts, a dance programme had been ar
ranged by the entertainment committee
The pavilion was entirely inadequate to
the demands made upon #, and many
happy couples found sclace I'm throwing
al the elusive babies and similar per-
formances, and I'm blissfUl strolls on the
lawns and I'm the glades.
The programme was in charge of the
following committee:
