Two Big Events Staged
At LakevieW Last Week

Enthusiasm reigned at the two spe-
cial events held at Lakeview park the
last week. The first, a grand prize
waltz took place Thursday and 200
couples competed for the cash prizes.
The elimination required about an
hour due to the great number of con-
testants and the final decision gave
Edward Duda and Clara Housig,
first; Lee McMullen and Dot Hamil-
ton, second; Al Trip and Henrietta
Hays, third prize.
The second event, was the outing of
the "Oh, Girl" company, in which
the fifty members entertained the pa
irons of Lakeview with hard and soft
shoe dancing, fancy dancing and quar-
tette singing. Lakeview patrons and
the company members enjoyed very
pleasant evening.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to offer some sort of a special
event each week until the park closes
for the season.

In this story we have as our char
acters Florence Jones, having a great
many things she vented she took ad-
vantage of it. Florence also done
many things she would not of done
otherwise. Also there is one more
character, the Queer Hand"
Our story starts out with Florence
at the dinner table. Happening to use
great deal Of sugar she ran onto
something soft. Florence looked in
and beheld queer looking piece of
paper saying: Thou shalt not use so
much sugar. Queer Hand"
Such queer writing" exclaimed
Florence.
She studied it over for a few min
utes and put the thought away from
her mind.
That evening Florence went to a
ball at one of her friends houses. She
stayed till after |. o'clock at night and
coming in tired she went to her room
and saw the same kind of queer paper
laying on the dresser saying this:
Thou shalt not stay out so late at
night. Queer Hand"
well! What funny thing is this
watching and telling me what to do?"
questioned Florence of herself. Il will
not speak of this to anyone for it is
not worth while to worry over that"
. The next afternoon she sat in her
room reading book, skipping a great
many pages, making other people rec
ommend her as a great reader of
many books. OF course, this was
wasting her library card. Presently
a piece OF paper futtered in the room,
whence it came she knew not, reading
thus: Thou shalt not skip so many
reading pages. Thou art wasting
library card. Queer Hand"
What queer thing could this be
every action l make" /
will investigate tonight"
Florence made up her mind to fool
this thing. So she started for the pic
ture show, stopping at the corner to
see when the figure came to the door. |
Thus, presently white garbed per-
son rushed in the door, with Florence
1t its heels. Florence grabbed it, saw
who it was and cried. what does
his mean?"
The voice answered nothing" and
aughed.
why, Ruth Hoppe, what on earth?
Florence finding out the
'erson being her best friend, playing
joke on her. They both laughed
lappily. Thus ending this story. Al
hough it caused Florence quite bit

were about twenty there. After we all
got there we began to play games.
The games that we played outdoors
were: Too late for supper, drop the
handkerchief, three old maids went
skating on the ice, last couple out,
etc. Then we went in the house and
played some inside games. They
were: Spin the pan, tin-tin, who,
what and where? etc. When we were
tired of playing games we all got
ready for lunch. TIE way we got our
partners for lunch was that the girls
had to write their name on a piece of
paper and put them in a box. Then
all the boys drew, one and the name
that they got was their partner. After
we all ate lunch we went home.

One night the fairy queen and all
her fairies gathered around her. This
is the reason for your happiness" she
explained. "You do good and bring
happiness to others and are always
busy. If you did not work and had
nothing to do, but look around for
amusement, you would soon become
restless and dissatisfied and long for
things that mortals have" When the
queen finished she saw one little fairy
very grave and did not dance about
with the others. Her name was Dew
drop. She rose every morning be-
fore the sun rose to gather drops
from the river and put them on all
the flowers So the queen called to
her and asked why are you so sad,
