Miss Palmer and Miss Smith. of In
diana: Miss Muller from Colorado;
Miss Whitney, of Tennessee; Mrs. will
liams and daughter, Miss Mildred, Of
Chicago. III. The room was soon
| cleared for dancing and the young
folks were enjoying the square dance
or Quadrille. This dance is new TO
the visitors and so is quite interest
| ing to them. The figures are intricate
and full Of grace and when called"
in rhyme as 1t is often here in the
south. 1t Is amusing and full of inter-
/ est. The floor was too crowded to do
full Justice to the different figures but
the dancers were so good natursd ard
orderly that even the difficult basket
weave" was gone through with scarce
mistake.
Everyone, old and young, enjoyed the
music and the blood coursed more
rapidly through the veins and affect
| ed the feet nightly as the strains
Of Dixie" Yankee Doodle" Turkey
in the Straw" and other old time ia
vorites, pulsed through the room.
While the musicians were resting,
Miss Mildred Williams favored the
company with that exquisite waltz
Moonlight and Roses" and soon the
floor with filled with the graceful
walters.
Mrs Meyers, assisted by Mrs. Will
liams, served most delicious cocoa,
coffee and crullers.
Another set was danced and then as
finale, Chas. Hopper played Home
Sweet Home" a guest laughingly said
''it's home. sweet home. for me" 50
with many farewells to our genial hos
tess we followed the trail"
Monday a number of tourists from
the north came to Camp Walton and
put up at the Mayors.
Camp Walton has many advantages,
the nearness of the gulf, the daily
communication with Pensacola, good
hotels, ETC., but to see Florida in her
natural perfection, beauty and rest
fulness tourists should journey to the
bayous, for It is there that the up
sound" country is seen at its best.
