A Delightful Outing.
One of the most delightful out
ings of the winter season was
given by a few members of the
popular Loch Lilly Club Satur
day and Sunday, in honor of out
of town young ladies. The
weather was ideal for the oc
casion, in fact it reminded one of
spring, ine young couples took
advantage of the fine weather
and enjoyed themselves tho
roughly, boat riding and sprawl
in gaboiu the popular resort.
One ot the most attractive fea
tures perhaps was a moonlight
boat ride on the lake, which was
quite a treat for December.
Those who shared the hospitality
of the club members were Mr.
and Mrs Z. V. Gwynn, chape
perones. Mr. J. A, Long, Jr.,
with Miss Annie Bickford, of
Pennsylvania; Mr. Claude Flow
ers with Miss Katie Lee McKin
non, of Trinity College: Mr.
Charles W. Long with Miss
Catherine Sheffield Thomas, of
