Dear Nary
Oh. l know you are just dying with
curiosity about that lawn social the
Presbyterian Ladies' Aid had the other
night. ! wish you could have gone
with me- We had q fine time. / did
my best to catch sucker in the fish
pond" they had, but all got was left
Rena Trevarthen told fortunes and ]
had mine told. She said was to
meet a gentleman and to beware %
him. Well, going out Of the fortune
teller's tent I bumped into Deacon
Hurley coming along with a dish Of
ice cream. The ice cream right then
and there parted company with the
dish, so took Rena's advice and be-
wared Of the gentleman metz.
Quite few strangers were present
at the lawn social Miss Susan Dawson
Of Montrose, who is guest Of the
Shackleford girls, was there and also
Misses Ruth and Helen Ingersoll who
are visiting Mrs. Henry F. Lake The
young ladies were also guests at a
picnic party the other day, when u
crowd Of young folks climbed up the
Palisades and had picnic dinner.

Ingersoll, Beatrice Dunham. Susan
