"Beach Amusement."
Three Hobgood Items.
Written for The Commonwealth.
On Thursday evening, August 4,
from nine until twelve the Misses
Futrell entertained in honor of Mr.
and Mrs. G. B. Walton, Misses Mar
tha Lawerence and Mary Woodard,
of Norfolk, and Miss Nell Walters,
of De Land, Fla.
The predominant note of the even
ing was informality, which added in
no small measure to the pleasure of all
present when all the guests nad as
sembled in the parlcr the girls were
given peanuts with long strings at
tached.
Around with this weapon they retir
ed to the second floor and fished for
a partner by dropping the peanut
down. All of the fishermen below
waited in tripidation and anxiety to
see what the peanut of their choice
held for them. Some chose by in
stinct the one, while others had to
satisfy themselyes with what had
been the longed for fish of another
fellow.
After all the partners bad been
chosen, each couple was invited to
visit the gepsy tent, where Miss Nina
Wells in gipsv costume, assisted by
Mr. Sam Dunn, served punch from
a big black pot suspended in front of
the tent, and there all who wished
could have their palms read.
Again partners were found by
matching candy cards, and all re
paired to the porch where the candy
wheel presided over in a true to life
manner by Mr. Lester Cherry and
Miss Woodward did a thriving busi
ness. Everyone had the privilege of
turning the wheel and unlike all
other candy wheels every one won a
bag of salted peanuts and candy.
But now another move was in or
der. There were vegetables to be
matched, and those who found
their partners for the third amuse
ment, wandered into the left parlor
where a most attractive "Quick
Lunch" Counter had been arranged.
Here all orders were filled quickly
and promptly by Mr. Ray Boyette
and Miss Mattie Lawrence.
After all had partaken of the
sandwitches, pickles, etc, the long
suffering guests were no longer
made to await with fear and trem
bling their next match, for the boys
themselves made their engagements.
That was the kindest deed of all!
No more mismatched and mismated
couples but all had a smile of per
fect contentment. Telling this, it is
no wonder that everyone bought the
ice cream cones peddled by Misses
Olivia Lawrence, Cornelia Josey and
Stella Hoffman, and declared the
cream as good as they ever ate.
What would not have tasted like
food of the gods.
After all had been said that could
be said and somethings that could
not be said looked, the good nights
were spoken. Only a dip in the surf
was necessary to make all feel that
they had indeed spent a night at the
beach. And one as the members of
the Beach Party had celebrated in
song and story.

put out at compound interest (4 per cent.) in 1623, it would have
amounted in 1886 to 160,000.
