full OF resort towns.
Capt. Tom Bridges is at home
Iagain after a most delightful outing
with his wife|and Mr.. and Mrs T. t
| Munroe, touring through the country
lin Mr.. Munroe's car from Ocala to
Auburn, n. Y The trip was mag
I nificent one and the route beautiful.
They stopped at many Of the way
iside places and were always greeted
with the courtesy and true hospital
lily of the old South. Mrs. Bridges
remained in Lynchburg Va, for an
extended visit with Mr.. and Mrs. AL
len Bridges and little son, who are
so pleasantly remembered in this city
by large number of friends, Ocala
being their former home. Mr.. and
Mrs. Munroe will remain north for
sometime longer and motor home by
easy stages, thereby enjoying to the
fullest extent the forests in autumn
and the friends along the way. Their
friends have greatly enjoyed the in
Iteresting letters written for the Star
along the way. To us it is the one
ideal way of seeing the country and
enjoying vacation time. In every
sense of the word the gypsy life
would be ideal.
Mrs. D. E. McIver was the charm
ing hostess of the North Lake Thin
bic Club Tuesday afternoon at her
home, ''Idlewfld." Mrs. McIver's
guests beside the club members in
cluded all the ladies of the lakeside
and with the members of her daugh-
ter's houseparty the attendance was
very large indeed and unusually de-
lightful. The broad porch, which is
thoroughly screened, was most at
tractively arranged, with big rugs
and comfortable chairs and tables
covered with all kinds of rainbow
materials to be fashioned into the
most dainty and useful articles At
the twilight hour Mrs. McIver served
her guests most delicious fruit salad,
waters, iced tea and minis, assisted
by her daughters, Misses Bette Wray
and Frances McIver. The private
| launches moored at the Idlewild dock
yesterday afternoon presented a most
pleasing picture reminding one of a
Venetian scene. and no Southern
moon was ever fairer or more beau
tiful, as across the silver tipped wa
ters the happy guests waved their
good-byes to the friends upon the
shore
