gard to kisses and kissing At the breaking out OF
the rebellion, in a small village in New Jersey
there was a company raised, and they were
about to leave for the front seat of war, their
fathers, mothers and sweethearts were kissing and
bidding them good-by There was tall, straight
soldier who stood back, without any friends; but
strange to say the prettiest girl in the village ran
up to HIM and threw her arms around ms neck
and saiS II kiss you for the uniform you wear"
That kiss will last forever. An old vet gays, " Cio

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
II is with mingled feelings of pride and pleasure
that give you short account OF the mastering Of
our Corps, Commodore Foote Womans Relief
Corps, No 10. Pen and paper would be made
qliate TO convey to you idea OF the difficulties
we have encountered nor would it be right for me
TO speas, OF them. now that they have been over
come, and we are fuIl-fedged Corps ready and
willing 10 work. Our first meeting was held the
Sd of October and all our work has been done since
that time: as we are strictly new organization.
Last Thursday was an exceptionally cold day,
the wind blowing at the rate of forty miles an
| hour, and our ladies gathering from radius oi
eight miles and yet, promptly at two clock there
met together in the basement room of ColuIlbia
Town Hall tthe only available place) twenty y-eight
earnest women brought there not by idle curiosity
but by hearty desire to work for the best inter
ests of the G. A. Il.
That our meeting and muster stimulated tl.:s
feeling instead OF allowing it to die out, was
largely due to the earHestness of purpose ano
capabilty OF our mastering officer, Miss Emma d.
Sibey, who by her promptness and brightness o
manner held their attention and eieepened thei,
interest from the beginning the close of the cere
monies; no watching the faces of those gath
cred there, from the singing of the opening ode te
the signing of the charter could have doubted thai
all their better feelings had been brought TO the
fore by the able in which the services haG
been conducted, and the excellent address-or

Nor / speak in too high terms of olr prc7t
dents address Clearly and forcbly she appealed Il
her sister members 70 work for the best Interests
Of oar Corps and TO aid her by their counsel to fiji
wisely the place TO which they had elevated her
thanking them for their confidence. she gave them
loving. sisterly counsel that touched every heart
wish dare give you a synopsis of that exeelien
address, but the modesty of our president forbids
as it forbade her giving it at the installation.

of Commodore Foote Post presided. In brief
digniied manner he spoke of our object in meeting
and introduced the Installing officer Miss Efnmi
Sibley. of Toledo, who having won the hearts o
the ladies in the afternoon, carried the conrade
by storm in the evening by the quiet dignified man
in which she performed the duties of installn,
