Dear AHnt Madas and n. B. Sisters;
have been thinking hard about that badge.
The idea came TO me to-day that stick pin with
a silver heart pendant, with monogram NJ. B. C.
on one side-of course It would be the right side
and the nom ds.plssme on the other. would give
the badge an individuality. and MAKE it donbly
dear to us all.
Then would suggest that as each one is taken
from the 81. B. circle to join the circle of i'm
mortals. that Aunt Madge, or whoever is in her
place (snd ! hope she viii be with us as long as
the circle lastsl will see that the badge is re.
