One of the moet successful social
events of the season was enjoyed by
the people of Spring Mills and vicin-
ity who had a direct or indirect con-
nection with Lodge No, 573, i. O. O.
F., of that place, Of course, this great
success was mainly due to the efforts
put forth by the wives and daughters
of the members of the order, most of
whom are members of the Yodge of
Rebekahs. The aflair was a lawn so-
cial, true to name, no effort having
been made to increase the ¢ xchequers
of any of the several orders iudirectly
interested, but everyone endeavo ed
to make the occasion a memorable
one, The affair was under the direc-
tion of Ludge No. 5387, 1. 0.0. F .
with the Lodge of Rebekahe and En.
campment, as well as the families of
each of the members as guests, and by
actual count there were present four
hundred and eighty-six who can
vouch for the generosity of the order,
and that they feasted at tables, on the
lawn at the hall, accommodating over
one hundred at one time, and this
withoat perceptibly lessening the del-
icacies most carefully prepared,
The provisions included twenty-five
gallons of choice ice cream, five hun-
dred sandwiches, an almoet innomer-
able number of cakes, coffee in limit
less quantity, and many other edib'es
fitting for such a luncheon. True to |
the teachings of the several orders, the |
feasting was not done without thodght
of the needy poor, for while the guests
were being served baskets were also
being filled for these.
