found themselves in beautiful little
valley, with beautiful willow trees
lending their gracious shade to the
green carpeted ground. Wild iris edged
this beauty spot and the odor Of fra
grant coffee greeted the party as the
cars came to q standstill. Looking
more closely, one discovered great
white table cloth spread on the ground
and literally heaped with good things
to eat-such things as one most desires
after a long auto ride. Paper plates
and napkins were provided and every
body was told to help Themselves. No
one waited for n second invitation,
but all began at once to demonstrate
their appreciation Of the forethought
of their hostesses.
