Pomona Grange Meeting.

Windham county Pomona grange met
with Protective grange Thursday. The re-
ports from subordinate oranges showed
good growth and interest. Mrs. G. d Whit
man read an essay upon "The model hus-
band" which was full of good suggestions
for all people who contemplate marriage as
we'll as others. 1.-THE farmers garden" was
assigned e. d. Whitman and was ably
treated, discussion following. Dinner was
on the picnic plan.
The afternoon meeting was a closed ses-
sion. The address of welcome was given
by John Z. Gale, responded to by NJ. L.
Reed of Vernon. Mrs. Erma Higley gave
piano solo, and song by John Z. Gale
followed. 'If the new woman becomes
a farmers wife what will be her position
on the farm" was the subject first spoken
upon by Mrs. Julia Newton of Vernon,
who was followed by Mrs. Whitman and
NJ. l. Reed. Several ladies participated,
thinking that the new woman was not so
new after all; she is just the same woman
that we formerly were acquainted with, only
better educated and better fitted for her
home life. Mrs. w. f. Mixer gave reci-
tation appropriate to the subject. "The
grange worker" was taken up by a mem
Der of Protective grange, followed by G. d
| Whitman, f. B. Pier of Jacksonville and
several others, who suggested ideas profit
able for grange work. A recitation b!
Mrs. Abbie Spauldlng and singing CLOSED

towards the mirror, as IL he expected to

day by day. He succeeded very well as
