I The ladies talk of having New Eng.
land supper after harvest. with something
like the following program Literary and
musical exercises at the schoolhouse in
the carly part of the evening, and then
supper in town. This would require only
q pleasant walk or drive. Dancing to be-
gin after supper. This is something out
