DEER PARK

August has ended in a smashing
whirl of gay times-parties every
where-people everywhere. Verify,
the tide of travel seems to have set
tied this way and the first week of |
September brought many new people
to add to the already large contin-
gent.
Most notable of the recent parties
was large banquet given by MIR.
Henry S. Duncan, proprietor. Covers
were laid for fifty people at one long
table which was a veritable bower of |
beauty with its unique decorations
of sweet peas and lacy green foliage |
The menue consisted Of many courses |
and was most elaborate. There was
a brilliant assembIage and con-
tinual flow of sparkling repartee.
Many toasts were drunk to the health |
Of the genial host-all of them clever
and original revealing the ingenuity
and resourcefulness of the fun-mak- |
| ers.
