An Enjoyable Affair

The Palms, the beautiful coun-
trv home of Mrs. Rankin, was the
scene of a happy gathering last
Friday afternoon, the occasion be-
in" the annual parish picnic of the
Presbyterian church. Although
Mrs. Rankin is not at home she
sent word that her house and
grounds were at the disposal of
the church people, and sixty-six
awaited themselves Of her gracious
invitation.
After an hour of social inter
course, at four O. clock a bounteous
supper was served from table
built under the trees overlooking
the bay. 1t was a supper to de-
light the heart of Mr. Hoover, the
piece de resistance being fish,
which were fried in the presence
of the guests and served hot. The
bread was almost entirely corn or
rye, and very few sweets were
served. There were salads and
pickles and fruit, but it was entire
ly meatless, nearly wheatless and
largely sweetless, showing that a
delicious meal can be served in
conformity to the food conserva-
ton laws.
An autograph list Of the guests
was prepared for Mrs. Rankin,
and a hearty vote of thanks given
her and the gentlemen who by
their untiring efforts made the af-
fair the success it was. A num-
Der of guests from other states
were present and added to the
pleasure o. the OCCASION
