Mrs. Harriet NJ. Parmenter, the
mother of Mrs. Charles Guild, is a
pensioner of the war of 1912. She
was born in West Windsor, March IA,
1919 and consequently is in her eighty

has sometimes laid one wrist over the
other, he has done his best to hold
them in that position, but her own
strength was more than match for
his.

that he has used from boyhood-(a
thing he doubtless reokons an impos,

withhold sincere pity for him and all
others in like circumstances.
We not very long ago made an item
