BY MARGARET TOBIN.

Picnics are picnics, of course. But
when girls give a picnic, it is serious
matter. There is the picturesque ef-
feet TO be considered. Judged from
that point of view, and it is far the
most important item, the picnic given
by the Outing and Tennis club of the
y. w. c. A, Wednesday evening at
Hudson lake was a success.
1t sent the young women shopping
for days because the first consideration
is to be properly dressed. Miss Mary
Lou Foster, the general secretary of
the association, bought herself a
MILDLY blouse because she thought it
would be so chic" She decided,
however, that she was a bit plump for
that style of garment, traded it TO
a tall, slim girl, and got in exchange
a red tie. That. with a soft. crinkly
looking waist and a skirt of the proper
shortness. made a really effective cos
tune. Miss Little wore a white pique
skirt that she had been saving for
weeks to have clean for the picnic.
All the other girls wore things equal
ly picturesque and appropriate Most
of them bought those white ratine
hats for the occasion. LeOra Girls
singer brought along a camera though
she didn't come until o'clock. A
camera does give just the proper
touch, don't you know.
Alice Sit BY the Fire.
There was one of the girls that
wore a picture hat and a real dressy
frock. So through the evening she
sat gracefully on a rustic bench be-
meath a tree and let the freight play
artistically over her face. She could
90 out in a boat. but she didn't dare
row and somebody else toasted her
"weinieS".
Speaking of the fire and weinies
brings us TO the supper. Ham sand
wiches and something to drink might
do for men but girls have deeper mo-
tives What kind of a picture could
you make with a ham sandwich? A
fire on the beach in the evening is SO
romantic and il looks so picturesque
to sit around ii and toast bacon on a
stick. 1t wasn't bacon, il was weinies
Wednesday evening. but the effect was
the same.
Wood around the lake was a bit
damp Wednesday but a little thing
like that couldn't interfere with the
success of a picnic planned for weeks
before. The kindly janitor at the
association split up a supply of wood
and tied il up neatly in a bushel bas-
ket. And the girl carried it bravely
through the streets of South Bend for
the sake OF the effect TO be attained
at the end.
COmmisSary Ahead.
The party went out at o'clock but

WASHINGTON. July 10. - Sen.
Ike" Stephenson. the silent man Of
the senate, who grows loquaciOus
only when somebody will lead him on
10 talk about how much he is worth
is distinguished in another way. He
is noted for the manner in which he
chews tobacco.
There are quite a few cCmpetc51t
tobacco chewers in the senate. Sen.
Nelson of Minnesota chews in a ru-
minative, thoughtful manner: Sem
Overman of North carolina chews
thoroughly but irregularly and some
times carelessly. Sen. Reed OF Mis-
souri, chews in a sort of angry and
methodically swapping fashion.
Sen Stephenson chews rapidly.
eagerly. regularly and continuously.
His molars beat a staccato against
each other as regularly and about as
fast as the tick OF the second hand Of
a watch OF course each senator has
his particular brand OF plug and
there is much borrowing and lending
among them. Sen. Stephenson has
been known TO Tend" out as many as
fifty 'chaws in one day. He has
never been known 10 borrow" a

A rumor came from Minneapolis
Thursday to the effect that Mr.. and

was highly indignant.
Why" she declared. shaking her
head emphatically until the curls
bobbed about. "Charley's the best boy

in it. Charley left last night 10 visit

Y. w. c. A. Girls Have Big
Picnic at Diamond Lake

two secretaries and Miss Evelyn Staf-
ford went ahead at 4:3O and took out
the weinies, buns and pickles, a sup
ply Of long sticks properly sharpened
and the wood. Arriving at the lake
they rowed across to a wood and
gathered a load of ragged. dried
branches. How the crowd did stare
mhen they rowed baik TO the other
side. Whinh is what they were eX-
pected to do.
When the others came at six the
fire was built. The girls, those who
were dressed for the part, set to work
with a will and built pyramid of the
sticks, just like those you see in books.
The supper was a great success. The
fire blazed up with a primitive Yigor
that fell right in with the girls
scheme of things. 1t was built close
down on the edge of the beach and
there was a background of tall trees.
The setting sun made a lovely glow
on the lake. The girls toasted their
weinieS in supreme satisfaction be-
cause they knew it all looked just
right. Suppose they did have to shield
their faces from the heat with an
arm? What matters a little thing
like that?
Afterwards they built up the fire
and arranged the seats around it ar
tistically Some OF the girls went out
on the lake in boats and drifted
around close to the shore. Those
seated around the fire began to sing.
and the picture was complete. The
moon was up by this time and the
freight was making a nice long re-
Election on the water. 1t was just
perfect. They all said so.
No Boys i'm Picture.
1t was TO be girls picnic eXclu-
sively, as the young gallants at the
lake found TO their chagrin. When
the girls began to build the fire they
trooped down that way to offer their
advice and assistance and were re-
ceived in scornful silence. A stern
look from the secretaries strength
ened the will of any girl who might
have been tempted TO yield an ear to
the intruders.
They stayed on until, one by one,
they realized their utter supcrfulty
and drifted away. After awhile they
came back and stood at a respectful
distance. They lent hand TO beach
a boat or shove one off but they did
il silently. hTe girls deigned not TO
notice their presence.
To conclude. the picnic was a great
success. 1t was one series of inter
esting pictures. Even the boys didn't
spoil it the girls agreed. They looked
so picturesque dropping discOnsolately
in the background.
And they all had perfectly lovely
time
