Sunshine Society.

When the Society met at Mrs. May
berry's Saturday afternoon there were
six new members. Mrs. Will Karsch
and Mrs. Klein not only joined, but
promised 10 attend our meetings, which
cheers the Sunshine mother more than
she can tell, for the recent sickness
shows her that we need more active
adult members.
