Ideal Winter Outings al Lakewood
All nature was lovely at Lakewood
Sunday the broad expanses of dag
cling white being spotted with beau
tiful girls and gallant youths in
sport clothes of Winter. Winter ac-
tivities were much in evidence and
the Arcadia Tea Rooms as expected
was the center of amusement. A
cherry fire blazed in the Fireplace
and the plentiful decoration of pines
were an appropriate setting for the
merry makers. Big chairs and tables
scattered around the room gave It a
honey atmosphere and lunches were
enjoyed. Frank Thibodeau was in
attendance catering to the delighted
guests. BY the way the Management
does not expect all visitors to the
Tea Room to buy their lunches there
but is more than willing that visitors
Should bring their own lunch basket
and make the place simply recrea-
ton headquarters. House parties
were much in evidence and Ave of
the Butler Bungalows were the scene
OF merry gatherings. With the Won
derful Winter weather and the
warmth Of the Arcadia Tea Room
after skeeing and snow shoeing this
opening for Winter Sports was most
successful.
The program will be repeated next
sunday and the same car service
Will prevail. Next Sunday, however,
caterer Thibodeau will serve a real
old fashioned ham and egg dinner
any time during the afternoon and
evening. This Winter recreation at
the Lake is striking the right spot
and filling the needs of Skowhegan
ana Madison people for real outdoor
life.
Already some of the Butler Bun
galows are already booked for next
Sunday, others are available and will
be heated ready for occupancy upon
application to Ernest Butler.
The Somerset Traction Co, will
continue the Saturday Night car af-
ter the Moving Pictures from Show
hegan 50 that people residing along
the line may attend pictures in either

will leave Skowhegan about $3.50 P.
NJ, and returning will leave Madison
about 1880 Z. M.
