Merriment by Moonlight.

,Initial Picnic and Soiree Dansante of theWe enonah Social Club.

Last Wednesday evening, Fernandez'grove was the scene of the most enjoyablesocial event of the season. The picnic givenby the Wenonah Social Club passed off withs greatest eclat and success. Upon an in-

-mense platform erected for the occasion,t the devotees of fair Terpsichore indulged

the pleasure of "tripping the light faatastictoe" to their heart's content--and manyindeed were the sincere and justly deservedexclamations of surprise uttered by thenew comers, as they entered, what to all ap-pearances was a dainty, fairy bower.

The grounds and platform were illumi-nated,.with Chinese lanterns and torchlightsand garlands of, evergreens and (flowers.were strung across the platform in manytasteful-devices. Partianlarly. deserving ofmention and refleeting great coredit ..apon'its maker was a large size monogram ofthe club beautifully arranged with coloredlights. It was lovely in the extreme. Out-side upon the lawn the refreshment tableswere spread and from 9 P. M. until 4:30 A.w- on Friday, there seemed to be one con-tinual throng of weary dancers encirclingthem, enjoying the cool, delicious creamsand lemonades or supper and wines. Quiteanelegant supper was served to the guests

.atgny and all times during the night and,with its.g oodly ,accompaniment of winesand liquors, was all that could be wishedfor by the most fastidious epicure. A largenumber of our town society ladies and gen-tlemen were present and they all speak in_lowing terms of praise of their evening's

entertainmient and of the cordial welcomeextended to them by the members of theW. S. C. Last Wednesday evening was cer-tainly a red letter evening for the youngfolks of this and the adjoining parishes andwill be long remembered for one of thegrandest and most enjoyable entertain-ments ever given in this vicinity.

Among the young people from this placewho participated in the pleasures offeredon that eventful evening were Misses Ade-line Israel, Lisette Israel, Laure Richard,

.Louise Mollere, Clara Keating, Mrs. Wil-dersen and her friend, Miss Roman of NewOrleans, and Misses Beroegeay and Buquoi, rMessrs. Will and Allen Mayor, Leon Levy, tTheo. Rebohl, Melville Israel, F. N. Gray'Sidney Landry, Adolphe Netter, A. Bethan- Ccourt, II. Buqapi, Chas. A. Maurin. All re- tlturned home after daylight. Music for the |occasion was. furnished by the Donaldson- noiile-Independent Brass Band and they dis-

dinguished themselves. From "early eveto dewy morn" the delicious strains oftheir music were wafted to the dancers onthe breezes of night, swelling at times like -

some grand old anthem and then dyingsway, as it were, like some soft sweet strainfrom reolian strings. All were charmed withtheir melody and praised " our " musiciansnighly. to

To haveparticipated in the pleasure af-forded by the gentlemazy, pembers of the" "Weaonah" on last Wednesday evening is

certainly to have enjoyed a rare treat. Oqrpleasure4lovipg,yong :fqiks will long ,re-member the moonlight picnic as the great

event of the season of '85 and will nevercease to think kindly of the hospitable gen-tlemen by whom they were so courteouslyreceived and welcomed. Long life andprosperity to the "Wenonah" and health,

I happiness and honor to its ,offers ands %embers. May success ever attend themI in all tbhir efforts, and may thqy never for

s get our town folks in the distribution oftheir invitations, is a wish re-echoed in thebosom of. every pffaticipant of last Wedges-day's frolic.

To the committee of arrangements muchpraise is due for the spopot$mess with whicheverything passed off and to each and everymember of the club our thanks are ex-tended for their kindly solicitude for ourenjoyment and pleasure. The WenonahSocial Clpibshall always remain in its pres-ent supny nook in the garden of our mem-ory and we shall always cherish the recol-leotion of their moonlight fete with feel-ings of greatest delight.

There is some talk of organizing a move-ment for the purpose of giving an enter-tainmentin this vicinity similar to that oflast Wednesday, and we trust soon to beaple to record a " social" success for the.young folks of Ascension, and whid:h wehope to see pass off as smoothly and nicelyas did the Wenonah entertainment. Truly,our Asoensionites could well follow the ex-ample of our Assumption brethren.

Report has it that a certain young gen-tleman residing on Ralroad Avenue isabout to put a halter around his throat.When charged with this dire intent uponhis life he entered a formal protest and de-nial.

The serious illness of this well known youngcitizen of pur tqwn.was reported by the CHIxF,and the hope we expressed-for his recovery wasfounded upon the confident belief entertainedby his friends that his disease would assume a

"favorable turn. ,Providence decreed otherwise,however, and death finally put an end to the, sufferings of our young friend as above noted.
