FRIESDs OF THE c. C.: Sitting in my pleasant
home on the evening Of April ], l90j my thoughts
wandered back to the friends who used 20 con-
tribute many interesting articles to the ConveT
satIou Club, and ! wondered how many OF these
friends were living EOW many were DEAD, and
how many, like myself were not married, but " ere
spending their days iu single bessedness.
Knowing Of no better way to ascertain this than

friend OF all the boys aud girls Of the G. C., de-
termined 20 intrude upon her hospitality.
