Last Friday night just aa" Moth er Earth" had donned her noctur nal robes, and the moon • "pale faced Cynthia" had bedecked her self with all the b&auty and radi ance of heavenly splendor, • party, ( drawn by firey steeds as swift as those of Phoebus, drove to Brown Springs, the "Carlsbad'' of North Carolina. The drive a distance of five miles is one of rare and ex quisite beauty. Surrounded on all sides by the most gorgeous foliage, the giant pines rising at intervals, waving their proud aud stately heads above the stflrounding land scape, form a vista most pleasing to the eye and gives one a faint con ception of what must be the beauty of that happy realm beyond the stars. Language is a poor vehicle through which to convey the pleas ure spent by the participants on this felecitous occassion The waters of this famous re sort are so rejuvenating that they put new life into the whole party. It is to be regretted that Ponce De Leon when in quest of the fountain of youth did not journey hither, for he would have found it here. Nature's green carpet on the slope of the bill near the Springs was converted into a table loaded with the moat delicious vianda, and in this spacious "Banquet Hall" of the firmameut, the party seated themselves and betook of the tempting repast which would have satisfied the palate of the most fas tidious. Journeying homeward the party were driven through "Lover's Lane" and it seemed that Shake speare's Midsummer's Nights Dream, which was only imaginary with the immortal poet, was to be realized. To and fro among the bowers fairy kings and queens darted, and mischievous spirits led by Cupid sprinkled love juice in many eyes. It was in the wee small hours when the suburbs of the city were reached. The moon had done her duty for the night and returned to rest in her Boudoir. Stars were playing hide aud seek unmindful that lovely winged Aurora was then preparing to unlock the doors of the East. Those constituting the party were: Misses Ida B. Haasell, Florence Tit/el, Nora Fowden, Mattie Bennett and Anna Craw ford. Messrs. J. S. Rhodes, C. H. Godwin, B. F.Godwin, Jr., Alonzo and John L. Hasscll. Chaperone: Mrs. C. M. Lanier.
