about Thursday evening, May 3rd. Ii
lis proposed to solicit the city band,
lodges, Eastern Star, schools, Boy
Scouts, the Greek community, rife
club, churches, and all patriotic citi-
zens to turn out in the parade which,
led by Smiths band, will traverse the
principal streets with flags and floats.
Arrangements will be made for speak
ers to address the crowds from the
band stand in the city hall park. Ev-
Ierybody is invited to be present to-
night and help get the matter under
way. 1t has been suggested that pa
triotic floats be allotted space in the
parade, and this feature will be up for
discussion.
The evening leader. (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) 191?-19??, 1917-04-23

There are picnics and picnics. Some
of them are fathered and mothered-
principally mothered-by Baptists,
Presbyterians, Methodists, Seventh
Day Adventists, and other religious
and charitable organizations. All pic
MICS, however, have, as the distinguish
/ ing feature, the idea foremost of get
ting away from the busy marts Of
trade, out into the primeval forest
somewhere, on the banks of some
beautiful stream which flows placidly
on its way to the sea, free from snakes
and alligators, where fishing is ira
ditionally plentiful, and there turning
ones physical self loose, SO to speak,
i and enjoying the surroundings and all
the other trimmings of nature there
provided. Picnics are paraded as a
substitute tonic where you can so pol
| ish your subconscious self into frame
! of mind that you can afterwards word
picture your tired imagination; and
r you are also led to believe that they
furnish the lubricant that prevents
rust. All this may be true of the or
CARNATIONS above spoken of, but this
is an item of an Episcopal picnic. They
ARE different. To thoroughly enjoy an
Episcopal picnic you must have de-
finite object in view-if you have no
definite object, no goal at which you
Iare aiming, then you are not in the
right frame of mind. You must have
soil to collect and wild flowers to gath
er. If you get your Palm Beach trous-
ers striped to look like a convict suit
straddling around through half burn
ed palmetto thickets it is for the good
of the cause, and you can console your
self with the thought that the China
man can fix the pants and that the
river is near and you can wash the
black muck off your hands yourself.
1t is not in the prayer book, however,
that you should fall off the dock into
the river while trying to wash, but
should you do so, as it is related hap
pened at an Episcopal picnic Saturday
afternoon at Port Richey, you can
switch on your system and next time
go with the Methodists or some organ
ization who discourage falling into a
river as one of the chief attractions
of genuine picnic.
