heavily laden, at stated intervals I'M
til a goodly company was gathered
on the beautiful lawn at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Warren. 1t was
the home of Mr.. Warren, but after
peering about in all places where
company is allowed to peer, the older
masculine members of the family
were totally invisible. This happens
at so many progressive women S
club picnics and it was a comely ar
ray of women too, all freshly gowned
and looking very intellectual as they
wandered about the table laden
with good things, with a paper plate,
paper napkin. with knife, fork,
and spoon held at right angles and
cup of coffee, carefully balanced
on one edge of a little of nothing.
All these in one hand, the other
busy dipping into salads, reaching for
sandwiches, grabbing radishes, dish
ing out beans and spearing deviled
eggs and other articles too numerous
to mention. And after there goodies
had been disposed of in a most in
tellectual manner. reaching for ice
cream and cake, so delicious that it
was considered quite proper to ask
for a second helping and even to
scrape the last morsel of delicious
GOODNESS from the freezers them
selves. After all things had been
properly disposed of a circle of
chairs was arranged and a table Sc
cured for the president, Mrs. Eel
lows, and the secretary, Mrs. Baker,
