Remarkable Reunion of Former
Ellsworth Folks in Boston.

Remarkable Reunion of Former
Ellsworth Folks in Boston.
1t is to be doubted If thnse former Els
worth women folks who last summer got
old homes, and suggested gathering OF
| Ellsworth PEOPLE who live in or near Bos-
ton for social chat and little something
to eat, realized the proportions of the
movement they were starting.
They must have been dazed at the
| lightning-like rapidity with which the
proposition ''took', for they were quickly
| overwhelmed with favorable responses,
and when the day set for the reunion
Jan. 10-arrived, people literally tumbled
| over each other in their anxiety to be
present.
| The place of meeting was in Sewall hall,
in the new Century building on Hunting
ton avenue.
| 1t was a jolly gathering OF former Ellis
worth men and women with their ''sisters
and their cousins and their aunts", and if
| any doubt ever existed as to the love former
Ellsworth people have for their old home,
| it was promptly and effectually dispelled
| by the enthusiasm manifested at this meet
| ing.
| A correspondent who was present writes:
IA happier crowd you never saw; written
on every face was the gladness of the
heart. Youth, middle age and old age
| all mingling and renewing old acquaint
anceship, with hearts overfowing with
delight, and all expressing the profound
est thanks to those who were responsible
| for the affair, and declaring that it was
the time of their lives. My pen can't be-
| gin to do it justice. 1t was glorious!
There were some present who had not met
for thirty-nine years. Think of thatl
''There was an entertainment "a good
| one, too, but it wasn't needed, so intent
| were all in making the most Of greeting
OF anything the promoters ever dreamed
Of. We paid our bills and have something
left over to start on next year"
