extended visit with the George SaylOrs.
The Fletcher Russells and the Cham
berlains made a day of it Saturday,
going to Fort Pierce in the latter's
launch.
1t does not necessarily imply that the
promised shell road is in process of
construction, when we say we see the
sand fly on the river drive.
Miss Grace McMeekin, the whlom
Ankona correspondent to The TRIBUNE
has sent up wall from Nevada City,
CAL, her present place of sojourn. She
is homesick and longs for the time when
she may return to the place where they
have climate.
The George Saegers wear partrcu-
larry large smile these days. Charles
Saeger, Of Allentown, Pa, another
"Saeger Brother" arrived Tuesday
night for the first visit he has made to
his relatives in over six years. He will
remain three weeks.
Fred Hamor returned this week from
his business trip on the west coast.
He will remain few days, when, with
his wife, he departs on an extended
tour. 1t is feared that Ankona will not
see this charming couple for many
moons. Social circles will feel their
loss. keenly.
There have been many regrets ex-
pressed by Ankonaites, that the I'm
provement Club parties have been set
upon the same night that the Ankona
Card club holds its functions. For
many reasons this date cannot be
changed, so the Improvement Club
dances lose large patronage that they
might otherwise enjoy.
Some uneasiness is felt anent the
welfare of Fletcher Russell. The re-
port has gone broadcast that he was
seen last week painting the town.
The presence of much red paint about
his own domicile, lends color to this
statement, and it is observable that
more than one Ankona residence has
new and fresh exterior.
The George Saylors were hosts at
delightful moonlight launch party, last
Saturday night. The entire lower An
kona contingent were present, and lent
their voices in good natured jeers at
the slower craft which the Isobel easily
distanced. Dinner at the hotel and the
Crystal Theatre afterwards were the
amusements INDUCED in.
The Ankona Euchre Club was royalty
entertained last Friday evening at Mrs.
Abdil's palatial Eldred residence. The
large attendance made no impression
upon the spacious reception room, which
might easily have Accommodated as
many more. The evenings play was
made thrilling by the daring aereal
flights of Hal Thomas, who persistently
scared in the sos. He made the larg-
est number of consecutive high bids
that the club has seen in many a day,
and in consequence upon his departure /
he wore the "crimson trophy" in his
buttonhole. Colonel Ankeney called to
order an unusually wordy business
meeting, the members showing a COM
mandatory inclination to take personal
part in discussions. 1t was late when
Mrs. Abdill babe good night to her
guests, and all departed with regret
that this delightful function was at an
end.
The George Saylers' beautiful home
was the scene of pretty high-noon.
luncheon last Wednesday, when Mrs.
Sayler entertained her women friends
of Ankona and Eldred. The function
was characterized by daintiness and
A. daintily appointed
table bore up bravely under crush Of
good things, which, transferred from
the table to the guests, taxed their
to the utmost. Like the min
ister in Mrs. Stuart's, 1.-THE Wilder
Johnsing," they cleft the table thor
oughly saturated with the odor Of her
delightful hospitality" After songs
by the hostess, tables of pivot 500 were
made up, the play began, and the af-
ternoon sped away. One prize was pro-
vided for each table. Mrs. Rolln An.
keny won deck of cards. while Mrs.
A. M. Chamberlain carried away a
beautiful hand-embroidered kerchief
with an exquisite hand painted rochez.
The ride home along the surprisingly
lovely Ankona river drive, was fitting
