4 woman IN the piano business, apparently
an excellent woman, once said to me-: On, a
woman ought not to be in business. am get
ting so pointed and blunt that l can hardly
entertain my friends with womanly delicacy
or even observe the needs of my children and
household rs a mother should.
This woman was a good business woman, but
realized the effect of contact with tho world In
business as demoralizing to womans inner
and more delicate nature.
If woman is not successful in business or her
profession, then she is an object for sympathy.
Ii she enters profession or business Tor which
she is entirely incapacitated, you will often find
her acting impulsively upon the same line OF
brilliant thought that prompts her to get on OF
a street-car backward.
Women as litterateurs, musicians, artists,
Office clerks, are within a sphere where the
greatest possibilities of their abilities can be
accomplished, and yet all the womanly grace
and deicacy can be preserved.

Addie B. Hawley Roberts. Ottawa. Ill, in
sending the names of her three grandchildren,
Sidney Earl son of Chauncey w. Hawley, Chas.
Robert, son of Charles Hawley, and Marjorie
Adaline daughter of Clarence Hawley, to the
c. G. Roll-Call, says:
AS my five sons, along with my older grand
children, have been enrolled in the c. c., add
these. My grandchildren claim soldier grand
father soldier step-grandfatbcr and three
great great grandfathers, all soldiers. think
they can lay claim to loyalty"
Sister Addie says it would have been great
pleasure to have met the Guards in Reunion at
Pittsburg, as Pennsylvania is her native State,
but the privilege was denied her.
IN LOVING MEMORY.
Taper prepared by Annie L. Williams for the
Fifth Annual R1union n. L. {. &. Guards. Pilts-

BROTHER AND SISTER GUARDS: Our dear
President General requested me to prepare an
article in memory of our loved ones who have
answered 20 the roll-call Of the Great Com
mander above, to be read at this Reunion.
While ! appreciate the kind invitation and the
loving letter that accompanied il, still L feel
that cannot DO justice to the subject
Words fail to express how much would like
to be with you to-day to meet those whom l
may have had the pleasure of meeting at the
first Reunion, held in Boston, and to clasp the
hand of many more whom / only know through
the medium of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE or,
may be- by correspondence
How quickly have the years passed since
that first happy Reunion, and how many
changes how many saddened homes from out
of which have passed the dear ones, gone TO
brighter and better home
In fancy we can see Walter G. Smith as lie
sat there at the desk taking the minutes of the
the c. q. Dear, faithful brother Walter, just
entering upon what we hoped long career OF
usefulness, looked up to- not only by the Bay
State members, but by all the {. {. Only
year was he spared to US after the Reunion,
then he was summoned home, where Ezra J.
Hill had gone before.
Dear Ezra, who was also at the Reunion our
quiet, bashful brother, but none the less faith
full ever ready and willing, no matter what
the call. 20 do his share of work. He was with
Us but few weeks after this meeting, and was
sadly missed by all.
Later on came news of dear Aunt May
Keeler's long and painful illness, when so many
hearts were awaiting tidiugs from her with
almost bated breath, hoping so much for the
good news that never came, news that darling
Aunt May was better. and would soon be her
self again.
How many sad hearts there were when word
came at last that she. too, had gone from US.
Dear, happy little woman, ready to go home
How many invalids and needy ones missed her
gentle words of comfort, how many of them
had been aided through her counsel and kind
ness! Truly she was a heaven-sent comforter.
Three there were who would have been there
but that they were claimed before, Mabelle
Woodland, Fannie Frost and Minnie Gogarn.
Sister Mabelle passed away short time be-
fore. Having had the pleasure of meeting
with her / can truly say she was lovely girl.

Of the C. G. Sadder still came the tragic death
of Minnie Gogarn. bright, winsome sister
Minnie, cruely taken from US. How little did
she think while going out to call on a friend
/ that the wild engine was to crush out that
bright young life so dear to all.
Two years later came the sad and sudden
! news Of the death of sweet Alice Burnham
! Stockbridge, Names Division Commander TO
| whose earnest work much Of it's prosperity was
/ due. Dear little Sister Alice. she was a
veritabe sunbeam, and to US who knew her the
i news came with a shock, for who could help
| loving her?
Still later on came sadness among US, when
news reached us that Florence Adele Emer.
! son, one Of our brightest and dearest girls, had
! crossed the dark river; her work finished, her
/ place here vacant but there in her beautiful
/ home there were many to welcome her. While
she will be so sadly missed to-day, we all know
she is happy on the other side.
Mabel Plummer. too, another of our thful
sisters, TO whom Michigan looked with esteem
and love; favorite with all; true as leader
! and faithful as friend.
| Charlie Lloyd one of our most prominent
and much respected brothers. has also crossed
over the river to the home beyond California
! lost in him one of her brightest boys.
New York was called upon to part with n
faithful sister when Neltie May Pink was
| called away, aud with Willard q. Knowles and
| ID. Z. HOllenbaugh, two of our earliest men,
bers, have gone on, true-blue aud faithful
C. C's
While we think Of these, who were all such
active members let Us not forget those who
were just as true, though they may have been
silent members: Joe Dyer, one of our very first
g. G. boys; Ina May Owen, George Lerch
Pressie Cowan, Hattie Goodsell, Charlie Hy.
land, Lotte Ramsdell, Dora Brand, Mrs. i. j
Woodside. Mrs. Blanchard. Harry McCailey
Mary King, and many others who are await
ing the comming of their dear ones.
How much more sad seemed the going out o
the lives OF Idaene Frisbie, ID. J. White, Nori
Jerrolman, Ida Potter, Harry Mcdowell. ant
Dan T. Edwards, all Of whom, like Sister Minnie
came to their end so cruelty.
Poor little Sister Idalene, going ont so Joy
ously TO the field to ride on the hayrake, littl
thinking, as she waved her hand to he
them amid tears and aching hearts.
Another victim to the train was Ida Potter
away on pleasure trip with her friends An,
ID. J. White our tallest brother, killed by hi
horse. He who was so brave, and could man
age most any wild Arab of the plains, fount
} at last one who was his master. Dear Br0the
} Dow! he was true blue and good friend.
Poor Nora Jerrolman aud Harry Mcdowell
lost their lives by the discharge of revolyers
l and Dan i. Edwards was found murdered
2 Such the sad fates Of some of our band
Truly, such tragic endings seem harder I
bear than sickness ending in death We ca
