MINI. Editors and Ladies
Enjoy Breezy Point Outing


The annual outing of the news
paper men of the state and their
ladies, sponsored by the Northern
Minnesota Editorial Association at
Breezy Point Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week was most
enjoyable occasion.
Breezy Point is owned and OPP
Grated by Col. and Mrs. w. H. Faw-
cett. The plant consists of a lodge
of 200 large modernly equipped
rooms and so cabins. It is situated
on Big Pelican Lake, five miles
from Pequot.
Beyond a doubt Breezy Point is
the most deliberately equipped sum-
mer resort in Minnesota. The SER
vice is marvellous and the food is
wonderful. Breezy Point is under
the direct supervision of Mrs. Faw-
cett. The wholesome interest she
takes in her guests is so unusual
that it is delight to the visitors.
A few years ago the writer spent
the week end at Lake Placid, N. Y,
with the National Editorial Party
Lake Placid is much larger. Seven
men of the party were quartered in
one room of a frame building de-
signated as the Bachelor Apart
ments," sleeping on cots. This
building was nearly a quarter of a
mile away from the dining hall
The food served did not begin to
compare with the food at Breezy
Point. The home-like generous
hospitality so pronounced at
Breezy Point was entirely lacking,
and the rates charged were more
than twice what the newspaper
folks were charged by Mrs. Faw-
cett.
Last year Mr.. and Mrs. Fawcett
made round the world tour. En-
route they picked up many souve-
Mrs and trophies of the trip. The
magnificent cottage home of the
Fawcetts is directly across the
road from the Lodge. Thursday
evening about 40 of the visitors
were shown through this home and
saw the hundreds of trophies, beau
ttiful and interesting beyond de-
scription, gathered on this trip. Mr..
Fawcett had taken motion pictures
enroute and they were shown to the
visitors with an interesting descrip-
tive story.
Breezy Point Lodge is construct
ed entirely of pine from which the
bark has been carefully removed
The logs are nearly the same size
in diameter. The large dining
room will seat 1000. AS one APP
proaches the dining room a very
impressive view meets the eye.
The lobby is spacious and very in
viting.
The first of the fifty cabins is a
short distance from the lodge. They
are named after streets in the Twin
Cities, starting with Aldrich and
running to Yerxes avenue, Mime
apolis, then starting with Como
Avenue st. Paul.
The beach is wide and sandy,
and there is abundance of apparat-
us in the water to satisfy the stunt
loving bather, young or old.
The Breezy Point Golf course is
about a half mile distant from the
lodge, and is ne of the most inter-
esting in the state on which to play.
There is archery, tennis, horse
shoes, horseback riding, trap shoot
ing and boats giving the guest a
wide variety of wholesome amuse-
ment. In the basement of the
lodge are billiards, pool and bowl
ing.
Friday and Saturday afternoon,
Mrs. Fawcett, assisted by the of
fetal hostess, Perle L. Mrs. Pressy,
delightfully."- entertained the ladies
of the party, and each one was
presented with dainty souvenir of
the occasion. Mrs. Pressy was the
official hostess on the boat on
which Mr.. and Mrs. Fawcett made
the world cruise last season. She
spent the summer season last year
as hostess of the large hotel at Mt.
Rainier, Wash. She too, had many
-1NSSA SA16 PACSCo VI JSWCiIy dAO
lingerie which she had gathered in
various parts of the globe. This ex-
hibit was a great delight to the
ladies of the party.
While the rustic idea is carried
out naturally in the Lodge and
cabins, the latter are electric light
ed and have hot and cold water.
The cabins are very comfortably
furnished and each is supplied with
a fire place, frigidaire and a mod
ern kitchenette.
Saturday evening Mrs. Fawcett
served a delightful banquet to the
editorial party. The Herald editor
had the honor of officiating as
toast master, and snappy talks
were made by several of those at
tending, each one paying special
tribute of appreciation of the SPLEEN
did care taken of them by Mrs
Fawcett.
Music for the dance Friday eve
ming was furnished by the Brain
erd Civic and Commerce Associa-
ton.
