PASSING N REVIEW.
James s;rceter. Mingo. Iowa. in writing of
the recent Reunion in 81. Paul says that IL was
the most enjoyable and enthusiastic Reunion
ever held and that there was nothing 10
disturb the harmony OF the week.
MANY inquiries have been made about Edith,
and WHY she MAS not at the Reunion. She
was very Ill at the time. aud sent regrets to the
Reunion which. for some reason, never reached
there Although Edith is better, she is stili
confined 10 her bed and is still regretting all
that she missed at ST. Paul. Surely she was
missed there and her friends everywhere Will
send out loving thoughts to her, hoping that
she will soon be well.
Brother Close of Fort Wayne, Ind. says that
he needs no letter accommodation of his
character any place than his membership in
the L.H.W. This speaks well for our stand
ing in the great outside world.
The Sons OF Veterans News Letter. bright
little paper Published at Neenah, Wis, has the
LHW included in the list of patriotic socie-
tics of America.

orally spend weeks TO see. which only proves
how much better the e. c. does things than
ordinary people.

merry party sailed around, touching the point
