Reception.

The Epworth League, of Burton church, gave
avery beautiful reception at Mr.. and Mrs. w.
j. Roses last Friday evening, in honor of Miss
The "Rossmer' Farm House was converted in
to bower of beauty, the pallor draped in
festoons OF heliotrope and yellow and in one
corner was bank OF geraniums and cacti from
our hostess wonderful bay window. The re-
ception room was draped in blue and cream,
backed with that massive window of green and
colors The sleeping room, or "cozy corner"
draped in yellow and adorned with plants, had
couch and rockers for convenience and CON-
fort of some of the older guests Miss Edna is
a general favorite, and all were there.
We we're welcomed by Mrs. e. T. Wilson and
directed W stairs by Chas. Rose. Here we
find draperies and house plants in profusion.
Briefly we were invited down to the dining
room by Miss Collins and directed Dy Mrs. Nc
Bride: The dining room was draped In blue
and white; the table in the center was adorned
with pink ribbon on the sides and good things"
on the top. AT either end sat Miss Grace
Green and Perry Dunbar, to serve iced coffee,
Rosa and Simpson, dressed In fairie costumes,
and they moved about Just like the fairies you
read about. Mrs. Harris and E. T. Wilson
superintended this department.
Passing from the dining room we were re-
ceived by Miss Willnn, standing in the parlor
arch and assisted by her brother, Chas Wilkin.
i voice the sentiment OF the 1OO or more when
say, ut was grand, and wish had Kodak"
The true pleasures came when the president
of the league presented Miss Wilkin with
beautiful Marquse ring, with the best wishes
of her many friends; and when the little ones
at the Dorcas Home, feasted on the several
cakes furnished by the great hearted ladies OF
the church-but not needed for the occasion.

dusk. 1t was one of the most memorable of

dusk. Ii was one of the most memorable of
my many delightful trips.
This lower country, the TierG CdIienti, is
the land of perpetual summer. Here the
trees are always in fruit and blossom; fresh
vegetables are at hand the year around; any
day may be seedtme or harvest. At this
time of year the days are hot but the nights
are cool. With the mercury at so at Vera
Cruz the day we arrived, my overcoat was
not uncomfortable in the evening. We have
found cool nights every where in Mexico.
Riding over the table lands today from ira
puato our coach was uncomfortably hot
Men were working in the fields stripped to
the waist, their brown skins glistening with
perspiration; and yet tonight. as usual,
am overcoated when on the streets.
Pm inclined to think that with good socie-
ty and good government Mexico would be
an ideal country to live in. I'd be willing
to try it under such conditions at any rate;
but that puts it out of the question for your
generation and mine, and besides I've heard
it intimated that that is all hell lacks. But
| again, if Mexico is typical of the extremely
orthodox hereafter for most of us, you need
not feel so very badly about 1t.
The Mexicans, as people, are very po-
lite. l am inclined to think bandit would
apologize when about to cut your throat. II
is always 81 Senior or Gracias Senor. II
you admire anything ''It is yours Senior,
but you are always expected to be equally
polite and say "Gracias Senor" and not ac-
cept. Imagine the editors embarrassment
when on admiring little dusky bright-ey ed
child he was told 1T is yours, Senor." AL
is politeness, and yet we were warned moi
to walk from the town to the station at Ira
puato after the concert on the plaza last
night. Not safe you see, but we walked
and had no trouble.
Our delightful journey draws to an end
We have but two more short stops and then
four days will take us from the summer
table lands of Mexico to the shrill blasts OF
Michigan's March winds, and yet strange tC
say we are all willing to start home, for tC
all peoples home is home, and climate can
not make up for all the joys one loses wher
far from his hearthstone.

Nerves are weak, many people say,

that they are literally starving their
nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood can

why you are nervous, tired, exhausted.
The cure for this condition is to
purify, vitalize and enrich your blood.
