It was artistically arranged, delicious and different from the usual picnic spread. Everybody had good time and there was not a dull moment for anybody. The late cars brought the last merry group from the park. There were so many funny stunts the girls decided they had plenty of talent for a circus of their own Altogether it was pleasant. the most successful of the many pleasant social affairs which the Y. w. has given this winter It was so decidedly pleasant, that groups of girls are planning to spend the Thursday half holiday in shady places and lunch together. These groups are elastic and will enlarge to admit any '. W. girl who cares. to join the group

We found you foes worthy of our steel. and shake hands today as heart fly and call you brother as we call each other comrade.'
 In conclusion, Mr. BawoWs spoke to the young people present on the subject of patriotism. The great questions of the day" he said, demanded that you rise above party affiliations, be an American citizen before you are any thing else. Remember that patriotism is not simply going into battle and fighting for your country. Remember the responsibility rests not with the impersonal they, but with you. Today we leave you the flag for which We offered our lives, and We say to you Take it and see that no star in that field is ever dimmed, and that that flag is never trailed in the dust under any circumstance It is your country and your flag"
