THE PICNIC DAY AT AuNrYs.

Dear Editor and Cornerites: All nature was in harmony with the jo- wal party that wended its way to -tunty's that typical July morning, Onlookers- knew there was some thlng doing out of the ordinary when they saw the wearers of yellow rib bon scurrying hither and thither by auto and wagon, on cars and afoot to accept the hospitalitay that Aunty No. l well knows how to give and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and Social Corner cheer, that is a promin- ent feature of our gatherings not for setting the tempting lunch, where va rlety would put the display at some fairs to shame
 I wonder if the birds wondered what kind of noisy magpies were passing through the woods that morn ing. As we passed each yellow guide mark it brought us nearer the yellow flag, the rustic arch draped in yellow, under which. we passed to see Aunty's smiling face to greet us. | Greetings were exchanged and new faces were unveiled from the mys- | tery of Who is who''
 l The business of the moment was transacted by Biddy Joan favored ! us with music and a solo by Biddy 1 Then our hostess led the way through 1 beautiful spacious lawns, hedged l about with every kind of shrub down through a magnificent rose arbor, three hundred feet long. the most | beautiful thing you could imagine l with it's mammoth trusses of pink | Dorothy Perkins roses in it's setting l of shrifty green foliage, climbing on and on. unrestrained over rustic SUD- | posts at each side and overhead; at the base of each post were mammoth | oriental peoples or other flowers. On | we passed and entered a walk thickly bordered with evergreens' and flower l Ing schrubS and plants and soon we | reached the Mecca of our ambition Here we found a cooling spring rest on the seats and rustic SetteeS
 The fragrance in the air caused me | to look aside, and behold! There was
 a big pail of coffee boiling over the | coals and we were, camping out ir
 the most delightful spot imaginable
 Just below was a small lake, teem-
 ing with fish and pink, white and vel
 low water-lilies; spanned by rustic
 bridges and. although, we had no trir upon it. methinks saw a craft moor. ed -pn the further shore
 Our appetite ran riot with the good
 things and how could we help but eat
 when our walk had strengthened oul
 appetite to the very limit. and every
 thing tasted so good under those
 spreading, leafy boughs, with ferns al i our feet and azaleas and rhodden. .i drons for the background 1 T sion of our appreciation and thankful.
