The eighth grade of the city
schools had planned to have had a
picnic at St. Mary's lake near La-
Platte today and was to have taken
; the train this morning on the Bur-
Imgton at 7:1C. At that hour the
rain was falling pretty heavily, but
notwithstanding a number of the
Ftholars were at the station, and
departed for LalMatte and scon aft
er the .skies cleared seemingly in
recognition of the undaunted spirit
or the young ladies who de"rted
early for a day of pleasure. The
Boy Scouts were in evidence to
quite a number but had disbanded
on account of the unfavorable
weather, which prevailed at the
time of the departure of the train.
The boys and girls were both pro
vided with plenty of eats which
they expected to share, and the
lunch hour, and walk home in the
afternoon.

their way when they picked up the
message Ralph had sent and imme

reception rooms appearing as un

There was no ice to be broken;
no formality to be done away with.

three years he tried to decide which

have lost all interest in womankind.

Helen Roberts. They were to be
allowed to choose their own song.
They sang "School Days." or "When

Karl's ingenuity. Margaret Parken
