the camp for Rockingham where they
were with Miss Steele until Tuesday
morning. Messrs. Leo Warburton, Bill
Ormond and John Scales entertained them
with a Hay Ride Monday night. All
were loath to go home, and declared they
had never nadNsuch a gsod time before.
The chaperon decided that it would
never do to retire under those conditions
so he gave permission for all to don bath
suits and make for the lake Gust the
thing they all wanted to do) Automo-
bile lights were turned on, and in short
order the crown was "all in. Three
o'clock a. m. found the bathers seeking
their cots. Sunday morning all were
ready for church and came in on time
for service. Mrs. Steele and Mrs. Sim.
mons, mother and sister of the hostess
prepared Sunday dinner going out and
serving it on picnic plates and cups.
Fried chicken, and plenty of it, hot
rolls, ham, potato salad, ice tea, followed
by ice cream and cake, all this besides
what had been prepared at the camp.
