At this time the clouds began piling
up in the north and it looked as though
we were going to have terrible storm.
Dinner was announced and we took
our places at the table. but there were
many anxious faces. At last, Just as
everyone had finished enjoying their
ice cream and the many other good
things provided by the hostess, the sun
broke through the clouds, and the
storm was over for us, but we learned
afterward that about ten miles to the
north of us it had done a great deal of
damage to growing crops, and build
ings, the hail cutting everything down
in its path.
After dinner Longing for home"
was sung, and the rest of the program
carried out. What economy is most
costly2" Mr.. Love says some people
are so very economical that they loose
more than they make The best econ
omy is to take proper care of every
thing.

Slave of Toll" The ladies topic was,
rs there any other way to improve the
health of the farmers wife, than to
