The rains early in the afternoon
north of the lake had cleared the at
mosphere and the weather was per-
feet. Just after the gorgeous sunset,
when the great ball of fire" had
seemingly faded away into the waters
of the lake, leaving its reflection In
rainbow tints upon the quiet waters
of the lake (Which had never before
been more peaceful than on Friday,
supper was announced. Served just
as the day was ready to draw its roy
al robes and preparing to sink to
sleep on the calm bosom OF the ap-
preaching night, and just before the
moon rose to fiirt and cavort with the
shadows Of the evening, the supper,
which in itself was an excellent one,
could not but have been enjoyed by
everyone The supper was served by
| Misses Tillie and Caroline Pasteur,
Juanita Lyle, Betty McIver, Gene
Fosnot, Lou Moody, Sally Spurlln,
Bessie MacKay, Annie Atkinson,
Frances Arnold, Mrs. A. NJ. Cameron,
Mrs. J. Carstens, Mrs. E. B. Sherman,
/ and Messrs. Norman Pratt, E. o.
Marshall, j. r. Joselyn, Walter Math-
ews mad Edwin Camp.
| Eighty-four persons were served at
time at the various tables, which
were adorned with yellow flowers, the
work of Mrs. D. w. Davis, several
hours being required to serve the en-
tire crowd. Delicious chicken pillau,
potato salad, cold sliced ham, rolls
and butter, pickles, coffee and cream
and ice water composed the menu.
Everything was splendidly prepared,
and those in charge of the supper are
certainly to be praised for its excel
lence.
After the supper the time was spent
in various pleasant ways. There
were several bridge, rum, whist and
other card games, boating, ETC., until
the dance began, and some of the old
er visitors continued their card
games until late in the evening.
About seven-thirty o'clock the ten
piece orchestra from Ocala, which oc-
cupied seats on the veranda around
the big door leading into the ball
room, struck up the opening chords of
the first dance, and soon the room
was filled with whirling forms The
dance floor is splendid, and with such
excellent music the dancing was
bound to be a delight. The dance
cards were very attractive, decorated
with the date, the name of the club
and the club colors. There were
twelve numbers and Home, Sweet
Home" on the program, but the or
chestra was most accommodating
and played many encores and extras,
and the floor was crowded with mer-
ry dancers from the first to the very
last number, which was danced just
at eleven o'clock.
During the intermissions of the
dances ice cold punch and lemonade
were served free to the heated dane
ers. Mrs. Woodrow, Miss Esther
Weathers and Mr.. N. H. DeLane had
charge of the punch and serving it
during the evening were Miss Onie
Chazal, Miss Blair Woodrow, Miss
Maud Mcintosh and Miss Lillian Bal
ley.
Ice cream was sold all during the
evening, mad proved almost as pop
ular as the punch.
Immediately after the ball was over
the special train pulled out for Ocala,
and the various automobiles took
their departure, and nearly everyone
was at home by midnight, or shortly
afterwards, and the opening of the
Lake Weir Yacht Club was another
pleasant social affair, the echoes of
which will long linger in the memo
ries of those who were present at this
elaborate function.
