FRIENDS SAW BLENDINGER
AND HIS FRIENDS OFF SATUR-
DAY NIGHT; BLENDINGER
WILL HAVE ALL SUMNER TO
PLAN REVENGE WHICH is
SURE TO COME
The Schwamb- Blendinger feud is
\ over for this season but not ended.
No, indeed Blendinger will have all
4 summer to plan some Hunabilistic re-
kvenge and turn the worm over.
This feud has been on for long
I time and was renewed with vigor
when F. L. Blendinger and party ar
rived here several months ago and
Cere met by Fred Schwamb and his
Friends and has been going on contin
hally all season but with few casual
4 ties to date.
I The most recent trouble started last
Saturday when Mr.. Schwamb, with
the assistance of his mother and his
sister, Mrs. B. C. Summons, and Miss
Marie Sammons, gave a party, invit-
ing Fred Blendinger, Fred Locker and
their friends for a trip up the Anclote
to Finders landing. Other members
Aof the party were Mrs. Blendinger,
Mrs. Locker, Mr.. and Mrs. Albee, Mr..
and Mrs. VOORHEES,, Mr.. Bonar, Miss
Davidge, Mrs. Davidge, Mrs. Knapp,
Miss Ruth Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Oster-
bout, Mrs. Whitlock and son Richard,
Mrs. Griggs and mother Mrs. Mars
den, Miss Dykman, Mr.. and Mrs. AL
worth, Mrs. Kile, and there may have
been others in the party but
The first trouble started when Blen-
dinger and Locker asked for raise
in salary. They had been forced to
act as chefs for the occasion and they
!. kicked when thirty-two guests were
sprung on them after they had been
told there would be only twenty two
Dpcned in costumes secured from the
culinary department 81 the Taipon
Inn, with boards made Of palmetto
] fiber, their appearance was most
threatening and the salary increase
was arranged to their satisfaction in
stanter.
Blendinger then teok his place at
the head of the table and opened up
aroasting pan which contained a wild
turkey gobbler with all the fiXings,
while on the side was nota+o salad,
rolls, coffee, ice cream and cake. This
Blendinger started to serve.
At the other side of the table was
Freddie Locker carving ham of ven
ison while in the middle of the table
were platters of quail.
Blendinger is not allowed to cat
bread or potatoes and therefore was
only able to store away five quail. q
liberal, in fact large, helping Of trr-
kew and some verison. How vor, h"
seemed to be satisfied for he was
heard to remark: "This is some
spread" He was then seen to move
around the table and storp"d behind
Mr.. Alworth's chair with his hand be-
hind him for q tip, which he received
in the form of a greenback. At the
same time, Locker was observed on
the other side of the table getting
tip from Mrs. Davidge. Mr.. Ostor-
bout, Mr.. Albee and Miss naVidgo
were also worked for tips.
When the two Freddies walked to
one side they were overheard to say:
eve got five spots and we can have
big time when we get back to New
York"
About this time Mrs. Knapp was
heard to say: "I have some rubber
roofing that will give to help. cover
the new room to the pagoda." BY
unanimous vote it was decided that
the two Freddies be made to cough up
their tips and that they (the tips, not
the Freddies) be used for the purpose
of covering the pagoda with new
roof. and, adding insult to injury, it
was decided that the Freddies be COM
PEELED to ad five spots each to the
amount of the tips. This they did
with a little coaxing, but they accused
Fred Schwamb of being the "capper''
of the party and separated him from
a five spot also, so the pagoda will
blossom out with a new roof and no
telling what else.
The party returned home in high
spirits and at p. m. a large party
assembled at the Tarpon Inn to say
good bye to Mr.. and Mrs. Blendinger
Mr.. and Mrs. Locker, Mrs. and Miss
Davidge and Mr.. Bonar, and all were
happy, when in walked the marsha

ed for Fred Locker and Fred Blendin.
