My Dear Sunshiners:--Now that the
hot weather is here and we feel the
lassitude that comes with It, we must
all try not to forget the true spirit
of the Sunshiner; "to keep the corners
Of the mouth turned up and to do
something for somebody" is one thing
on cool. crisp morning and quite an
other thing a day when the mercury
is trying its best to see how near the
top OF the tube It can climb without
tumbling off.
1t is truly remarkable how many
things cargo wrong ON hot day, how
many people are out OF humor. and
how many times the bride falls from
off our own tongue, no matter how
hard we try, but If we keep on trying
/ its bound to have its effect on both
ourselves and those about us.
/ Reports are constantly coming in
from the different branches showing
that though the weather is hot. the
true Sunshiner is never idle.
The lawn fete given by the members
or the West End branch on July 10th.
on the lawn of Mrs. Dillons home az
1901 Pennsylvania avenue. was most
decided success. both socially and
! financially. It did ones heart good TO
see the members OF the different
branches moving about shaking hands,
laughing and talking ard having such
a good time. Just how much money
was made / DO not know. but this
do know, that affairs ike this so a
long way towards making the Sun
shine Society the social body it should
be.
The "Pennewil branch" gave a most
successful lawn fete on the lawn oi
one OF its members. Mrs. Broad. 81,
West Tenth street. on the evening OF
July 18th. Again the members OF th,
different branches turned ont in goOdly
numbers and made the affair the sue
cess It was Mrs. stovsr. the president
Of the branch. was sick in bed. but the
members rallied to her assistance anc
everything won't off beautifully.
The Delaware branch gave euchr'
on Saturday afternoon. July goth, al
the home Of Miss Mcdaniel, el0 Jeffer
son street. owing to the hot weathei
it turned out to be a deciied success
both socially and financially.
/ hope that everyone will feel per
sonal responsibility in making th'
Sunshine picnic a social success. /

Life is too short to waste in sayln
nasty things about other people. Di
YOU ever try to go a whole week with
out saying anything unkind? 1t ism
easy by any means. It's astonlshin
the number Of nasty things we sa
without actually meaning TO be ur
kind.
Most Of us are too critical in our al
titude towards others. we criticise poe

worse. You never could tell wha
you would do until you are tried.
