cort headed BY National Chaplain Sarah A. e.
Miller. whose lovely daughter. Mabel. long
since numbered among the ranks above. was
an early member and active spirit OF the
Detroit Reunion.
The National Chaplain presented the deiega-
tion in few loving words. after which they
were conducted to the platform, introduced oy
the National President. Convention rising ana
giving the salute which was returned. Inc
honor was deeply appreciated by the L.H.W.
one and all.
President Sherwood. in few words, stated
the object of the call and the purposes OF the
association. introducing Secretary Seaman, VINO
spoke for the delegation, closing his remarks
By presenting the National President the first
L.H.W pin.
Upon retiring many inquiries reached the
President concerning the L.H.W., and many
were the promises to encourage and help them
in their noble work.
WHITE BEAR LAKE.
Owing to Convention duties the President
found it impossible to participate in the excur-
sion to White Bear Lake, or, indeed, In the
Lake Minnetonka excursion III honor OF the
W.RC.
Secretary Seaman was delegated the official
representative, and right nobly did he dis
charge the duties devolving upon him. as all
reports verify.
Bear Lake was extended by Maj. Espy, of the
Amusement Committee of 30th Annual En-
campment. The invitations were handsome,
aud the cards have been preserved as souvenirs
by those participating.
The Sons of Veterans, Daughters of Veterans
and Naval Veterans were also of the party, and
tine meeting and greeting of kindred workers
was most pleasant.
Unfortunately, the weather. which had been
perfect, was bad that afternoon, but everyone
on the trip enjoyed himself to the utmost
seemingly neither caring nor knowing whether
il rAined or not.
The time, upon arrival was spent in amuse-
ments and dancing, while among the substan-
tiel courtesies extended the Loyal Home
Workers was grand and sumptuous dinner.
To Mrs Harbaugh, of tho Ladies' Citizens
Committee of White Bear, much credit must
be given for her fine management of affairs.
Nothing makes q crowd more happy and joviai
than good care for the inner man, and this
time, indeed, the proof of the pudding was in
the eating"
Mesdames Halliday, Drake, Kanouse. Taylor,
Hewstreet, Conroy. Seaman. and Gundlach,
and Miss Convilli0r were particularly happy
| in making everyone comfortable. The gener-
Gus hospitality of the fair hostesses and the
warm appreciation of those who were enter.
tanned gave double zest to the days outing.
White Bear is q beautiful resort. much fire.

cherished in memory by Eucampment week
visitors of 1896.
The Mayor of White Bear, Hon. ]. w. King.
| is exceedingly modest. though not the less hos
| pitable, and welcomed the LH.W. in words
eloquent for the silent inward expression
which said "a Friends the town is yours. Come
take it. aud we will do our best to make all
happy"
Gen. Landers welcomed the I.HW, d. of w.

an appropriate and impressive address, and ex-
/ Mayor Johns, humorist of the occasion, sroke
| in behalf of the Mayor in introducing Mrs.
Ellen Walker, who feelingly and eloquently
responded in behalf of the Daughters of Veter-
ans. Secretary Seaman responded for the
IL W.. assuring the Mayor and citizens of
White Bear that not only would they accept of
all their hospitality but that they usually &C.
cepted or took more if they got chance.
Capt. NJ. S. Mead, of Camp /. ST. Paul, one of
the most genial aud able of young men, was
| the personifcation of energy, courtesy, and
jollity seldom found in one individual, and if
| there was single thing which he left undone
to make everyone at home, it is not known
| what it is
Miss Espy largely assisted in making every
| thing pleasant for the visitors, and moro
charming grace could not have been lent to the
occasion than through her presence and assist
spce in the management with other young
| ladies.
The tired but joyful L.H.W. returned to Gil
hooley Terrace Trilby Flats, we'll pleased with
| all they had seen and heard and shared.
