Wsshington's Birthday was celebrated
here with lectures, meetings Of all kinds,
theater going and all ways to suit individ-
ual tastes. There was no shopping, all
the places of business being closed except
a few restaurants and the drug stores.
Schools were closed OF course so that the
whole population was on holiday.
The theaters were crowded and many
were turned away after all tickets were
sold.
At fremont Temple the Ruggles street
choir was advertised to sing the Halle
lujah chorus, but to the disappointment
of all, the organ refused duty, sonnet hing
about 1t being broken, and the chorus
was sung without 1t, making 1t hard for
the singers and less pleasing to the
audience. There vas an address by an
English clergyman and short addresses by
several Others. The auditorium was
drsped with flags in honor of the day.
In the evening the Salvation army had
jubilee, their leader and founder, Gem
eral Booth, giving an address on "The
Past, Present and Future OF the Saliva

The meeting was opened with music by
their orchestra, yIrayer by Commander

Dear Aunt Madoe:

Dear AUNT Madge:
When 1 read our column of the 18th, was
interested and felt that with our editor and her
corps of more gifted writer's, should be hardly
missed, 1t being a very busy winter for
me. but then came the thought, how will f. L.
Jordan and Florence Wood know how much we
older ones appreciate their poems unless we tell
them so. and how win Ego" know how eagerly
/ look for her letters IL they do come outside the
column-and "Janet's" message of the new wear.
and the alphabet of success.
cannot enumerate all the good things but
was set to thinking on the subject of friends
when reading the quotation and Aunt Madge's
remarks GA the subject. and have wondered If
any of US can claim the half-dozen that hold our
reputation as sacred as their own. To me that
is one OF the strongest tests of friendship. and
1 believe one that Is staunch and true In this
respect can be trusted with our money or our
life".
Is this the besetting sin of ourselves and of
those we call friends?
Let us think about 1t and see to it that we can
be trusted as true friends. SISTER B.
/ am glad these various subjects intro
duced in the column are inter esting to SO
many of you. Experience, which only
passing years can bring, enables us to
think out some of these life questions.
We have missed you Of late, Sister B.
One thing the friends must always le-
mem oer-that the column is always more
interesting to everyone when several letters
are in it than it is when Aunt Madge fills
it alone.
Now you will enjoy one of Aunt Marfa's
cheerful letters.
To the Dear Ones Of the M. b. Column and our
Dear Aunt Mddge:
How are you all this very cold winter?,
There's one good thing abou; it, we couldn't
any of us fall into the slough of despond, as

Why. think 1t queer that none of you 'cept
Aunt Madge has thought to tell US what you had

Giliey, who, being unable on account OF
iameness to go out, kindly invited the
White Ribboners to her home.
The notable articles lately published
in THE AMERICAN and Bangor Netrs were
read and warmly applauded. A letter from
the county president, now in Massachu-
sets, received warm greeting, for the
letter proved that the leader, though In
another state, was yet alive to the inter-
