All, both gen- tlemen and Iadies, are cordially invited to bo prosent and meet Miss Cady, who has just taken up the work of general secretary of our assoclation, Jolly Dreczes from Okoboll. Writing from Okobojl, & party who has been summering there says: Indeed they are | Jolly breezes this summer, for never Las a this most popular resort. Last night was the hop of the season at Manhattan, and as the steamer Transit, with have | will | 1l | The | lags waving and bands playing, landed at e different docks to carr, way pretty | girls in dainty white gowns, with many | pairs of white ducks in attendance, the boat Eu.lu quite welghted with its fair load. | There are scores of amusements at the lake this summer. Doat races are quite the ling, and twice a week fifteen sail boats holst their salls off Point Fort Dodge and vie with each other for the silver cup. The | Psyche, owned by Mr. Clarke of Creston, Ia., has a fair record and is very popular, and with Its silk and linen sails and torp shaped hull cuts through the water, looking like a great winged swordfish., The Robert J comes closely after it and is a beauty It tho largest boat on the lake, and carries many a jolly party und the shores. Wheeling Is qul pular also, and these perfect prajrie roads have been much used noonlight nights by parties of cyclists, tle run down to the Orleans back, with a supper afterward at one cottages. Th are some fine riders the ladies. One fair society girl, well in Omala, explores country roads to heart's content, and with her short blue serge skirt over scant bloomers, blue | ging, shirt waist, and little blue cap resting Jauntily on her light hair, she makes a protty picture and a graceful rider. Another fair maiden from a popular point rides her wheel in an intrepid manner, with bloomers of dark plaid and a well fitting«coat. Her black hair and r cheeks cause many an eve to follow her admiringly. There are many others too numerous to name, and their nealthy coloring showing through .a rich brown tan well whether it Is a healthful amusement or not Nestled among the trees on the east shore ot the lake is a white cottage where a joli party makes the woods ring from morning till night. Four Omaha girls laugh these idle, happy summer days away, and seldom is their dock froe of three or four sailboa having landed a cargo of boys, who think this cott in the woods, with its lively house- hold, a very attractive place. Polnt Fort Dodge, Omaha Beach and Des Molnes Beach have many beautiful places and the young people make merry from morning till night on their sandy shores. Swimming is of course the thing, and Manhattan Beach the popular place, and many a boat is landed there daily for a duck in the waves. There are some fine swimmers seen here, one little ha girl of some sixteen summers being o the prettiest ht on the beach. A able duck in the water is th little maid, and with her black brilliantine suit, trimmed with yellow wash ribbon, attracts much attention, and, with a short, quick stroke, her light brown hair in little wet curls around her face, she cuts through the water to the springhoard with easy grace. Another well known soclety girl, who came to these shores an invalid, has fully regained her health and bright spirits and is as brown as a berry. She w s a black bathing sult and discards her skirt in true good swimmer fashion, and she swims with long, easy and even strokes and Is perfectly at home in the water. Altogether, life at Okobofi Is very pleasant these hot summer days An the is o p e Dance. and most enjoyable dances*of the summer was given at the home of Mrs. Caldwell in honor of her son, Sam, and the visiting tennis men.
