Contributed to The Commonwealth,
One of the most enjoyable social
events of the reason was the luncheon
given by the young peopie of the town'
at White a Mill on Thursday afternoon
complimentary to the visiting young
ladies. In spite of the lowering clouds
a large number of buggies, bearing the
care-fiea young couples, could be seen
at 4 :30 leaving town en route for the
mill pond, and sounds of laughter were
wafted back on tha warmest of breezea.
All nature seemed to catch something
of the pleasure in the atraospiisi'e, the
birds sang merrily and even the smil
ing face of the sun ventured to peep
torth to send the clouds scurrying away
over the deep blue heavens.
Three or four hours were merrily
spent at the pond in boating, strolling
and talking. Tho pond dotted with
boats and tinged by the red glow of
the setting sun, presented a beautiful
picture, while the woods about the old
mill echoed the sounds of many voices.
One ol the most enjoyable features
of the evening was the elegant lunch
eon, and all present did full justbe to
the good things set before them. At
eight o'clock the last buggy left the
scene of gaiety, each person thorough
ly satisfied with the good time, lhe
drive home in the moonlight was a
fitting climax
Those who participated in the even
ing s enioyment were Missess lrma
