Jolly Crowd Enjoys Two
Days Outing on Maple
Lake.

On the north shore of Maple AXE
stands log cabin. This picturesque
spot is ofteutimes the scene Of pleasant
house parties and last Friday was the
beginning OF jolly good time for five
young ladies, who, with numerous bun
dies and baskets meant to contribute to
their comfort, found their way to this
place and settled themselves and chat
tells for the brief period Of two days and
three nights.
The Misses Augusta Streator, Gladys
Graham, Helen Ciapp and Sadie Busley
with DIR. Verne Van Fossen to act as
chaperon and lend dignity to the time
and place, were the ones that received
the benefit of the outing. The girls al
declared that they had "loads of fun" and
ate so many good things that the whole
bunch are threatened with dyspepsia
No one seemed to be able to tell who
the cook was and upon questioning, one
girl admitted that they all had hanc
in the cooking-no wonder disease ano
distress is upon them. This ought to bt
a harvest for the doctors.
DR.. Van Fossen entertained the mem
bers of the log cabin party at her home
last Tuesday evening.
