Swan Lake resembled hive of swarming
bees, members and guests having arrived by
automobiles and buckboards. At little after
noon the faithful eastern Star coffee pot
was sending out it's appetizing odor, which
called each hungry guest to her place at the

pot was deposited Oh the foremost carriage
and all followed it gleefully home. the mem
bers declaring it another successful Field Day
in the history of Bethany Chapter.
