Some four or five years ago seven little
mrsses of Rockland organized the b. B. b.
club. just what the initials stand for is a
secret to all but the initiated, but some of
their outside frie DIS suggest that they
stand for Beans and Brown Bread. AT
| any rate, cooking was one of the objects
OF the Aelub-eating, of course, merely in
cidental. One of the members of this club
was Miss Lillian Russell, whose parents
have within few months moved to Els
worth. This summer the club conceived
the idea of visit to their wandering
member, and so it happens that things are
pretty lively just now at the Russell home
on Lincoln street. The six little BIS from
Rockland who buzzed in last Saturday for
ten days visit are Dorothy Bird, Ruth
Blackington, Madeline Burrows, Rose Da-
Wis, Emeline Webb, and Lucia Burpee.
They were chaperoned by Mrs. Jennie
