Show THE ECONOMICS BEE HIVE GIRLS HAVE GOOD OUTING. The Economics Bee Hive girls met as usual at the same home Tuesday evening. Names were chosen for the girls, most of which were taken from flowers. Also names and symbols for each hivo that will distinguish same in future. Mrs. Van Huron's hive chose the name of "Red Clover;" symbol, sym-bol, "Industry." Thoso In charge of Mrs. Dalton and Mrs. Adams will be known as "Honeysuckle," symbol "Tho Gatherers of Sweets." Mrs. Burton's and Mrs. Adams' hive aro called the "Four O'Clocks;" symbol "The First to Unfold and Beautify the World." The Red Clover and Four O'clock hives tried to outwit each other in a trip on hay racks to the hay meadow six miles north of town. Providing themselves with food and bedding they left late in July, returning early ear-ly in tho morning of August first. Sure enough, Four O'clocks wcro the first to leave, and many curious smiles greeted them as the long hayrack moved along, drawn by n team drivon by Mrs. Mary L. Orton, who kindly furnished them with an outfit for transportation. Owing to drooping Four O'clocks' heads at sunset, Red Clovers brightened up and with a yell rushed ahead entering tho gates of the meadow first. Good feeling was restored by supper sup-per time as all were hungry, and tho evening was passed enjoyably in playing play-ing games and the night as well, near the scent of new-mown hay. Four O'clocks were up at four and drove through the meadows and past the farms until they reached the Clean House tent occupied by Orson Orton and although he was busy on his farm he still had his gallant welcome smile, and at 8 o'clock all sat down to breakfast, break-fast, while Mr. Orton served tea from a six quart pan. Orson understands domestic science well, indeed. Look out, something is coming this week I |
