A CORN ROAST.

The spacious grounds of DR.. S. D.
Rambo's home on Mcdonald street
furnished the setting for a delightful
social gathering on Tuesday evening.
Miss Emma May Rambo and Mr.
Sam Rambo had invited about Is of
their friends and friends of their Sis
ter, Regina, to corn roast and every
one able to ride in limousine ap-
peared promptly on the scene.
The trees were ornamented with
Jap lanterns showing like clusters of
tropical fruit among the leaves.
Dr. Rambo, whose heart is as
young as any boys, stood at the en-
trance to the driveway and ushered
in the guests, Mrs. Rambo, Mrs.
Joseph M. Brown, Miss Dumas and
the Misses Rambo welcomed them on
the front veranda and into the house.
On the lawn bonfires had been light
ed and charcoal braziers glowed in
summer houses.
After promenading awhile, the
young couples were invited to the
roasting fires. Tender little ears Of
green corn had been prepared by
thrusting long pointed sticks into
their marrows by which they were
held over the glowing Goals.
The intense heat and delicate
grains soon furnished lunch of de-
licious flavor, after salt and butter
had been applied, and the boys felt
the thrills of outings by moonlight
when uniting or fishing. After the
corn, marsh mallows were toasted
and as the evening grew bit chilly
the cook and butler came with big
cups of hot chocolate and plates Of
cake. There was no Formally and
the merry couples chose their own
diversions. Some danced to the
music of a victrola, some played
games on the tables in the living
room, others played on the piano, a
few sat in the luxurious cars along
the side walk and the bellies with at
least two beaux at once sat in the big
porch or lawn swings.
Miss Regina interrupted the pro-
menades by ringing bells and "pag-
ing the most popular guests. Dig
nified young lawyers and doctors
were attentive to school girls and
bellies of at least three seasons chat
ted brightly with boys still in the
High School,
Altogether the corn roast was
brilliant success and was enjoyed
most by those present who have
reached life's Indian summer but
who know that even when 1.-THE frost
