SOCIETY ITEMS
Social Gatherings of the Past Week
In WauSau and Vicinity
For Pilot Readers

Social life in Wausau is almost
entirely confined to outings of various
| kinds. Every day since the weather
has grown warmer auto parties are
| formed for a day of pleasure, with
picnic in the woods or at some
| lake. The abundant crop of raspber-
ries has also made berry picking a
popular pastime, and people who
| never before have INDUCED in this in
duStrious pleasure have joined the
brigade and have motored into the
country for the day, arriving home
at night tired and happy, with full
pals and the memory of a days
pleasant outing in the woods. The
warm, sunShiny weather of the past
two weeks have taken people to the
lakes and great many Wausau peo-
pie are sojournlngs at the different
northern resorts, while private cot
tages are rapidly being filled by fam
lilies, who have undoubtedly earned a
rest. The past year has been
strenuous and difficult time War
conditions have made changes in all
lines, while both mind and body have
been kept busy in trying to help out
limit to endurance and it is but
right that people should rest and re-
cuperate, to be ready for whatever
comes. The same long winter con-
fronts us, when indoor life becomes
monotonous and days pleasure TAX
en- now in the open will be a prop
and stay and something to look back
upon, when the duties and sacrifices
that are sure to come to us in the
coming winter months, seem a prob
lem hard to solve. So enjoy the good
weather, get out in the sunshine, be
optomistic for after all happiness and
contentment lies within ones self and
not with conditions.
