with their ladies, went to the ranch of Mr..
| A. A. Marsh, on White Tail Deer creek,
fifteen miles south of Boulder, Thursday
afternoon and spent the evening with that
comrade and family, having most pleas
ant time. Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh gave the
visitors fine supper, and the veterans told
war stories and sang war songs until they
were hoarse, returning home at four O'Clock

post adopted thu. plan of holding the regu-
lar monthly meetings at the residence OF
| the comrades instead of at the post armory,
and the members have found the plan
much preferable to the old one. They are
improving the pleasant summer months to
meet with the comrades living in the
country. The next meeting will be held at
the residence of Mr.. Frank Hopes. in the
| Boulder valley. on the last Thursday in
September. Doubtless visiting comrades
and their ladies would be heartily welcomed.
Wandering through the rooms of decora-
tive art and needlework at the fair, the
other day, we overheard lady of culture
and experience talking to friend, express
ing sentiments something like these: ANY
thing which truly adorns a home refnes
and elevates those who live within it. Each
touch of beauty is one more additional
force 'for sweetness and light" Great is
the praise due to those who SO ingeniously
devise and patiently work out SO much that
is fair in form and pleasing in grace and
coloring with which to soften and hide the
bris1s and rough corners of this ''work-a
day world" But in the endless maze o.
silken and linen embroideries, in the mids
| of this varied sticking and stitching fo
adornment and the universal craze fol
painting and drawing in pencils and oils, i
is pleasing to note that the more practica
| arts belonging to the home-makers duties
| are SO we'll represented. The kitchen doe
not present as inviting and poetic iell
as boudoir and drawing room. but whel
one considers how nearly the foundation:
of mans moral and physical nature ar
based upon it, one cannot help feeling tina
its loud and imploring cry for more skill
and genius is almost sacred.
Yes, We soliloquized, average man-no
man in the sense of the genus homo. bu

could put upon his plate an appetizing an,
hunQer-satisfying steak than to paint upcl
| il aesthetic forms of cupids and roses.
