Dear aunt xadge ana Ma,uais.

Dear aunt Aadge ana Mainais:
think Aunt Maria gave the absent ones a
good description of our fourth annual re-
union. II is certainly delightful to spend one
day Of the year in the wyman cottage. and
there were many expressions Of hearty appre-
citation - the hostess for her efforts to pro-
vide such good time, and the occasion GER
tainly will go on record as one of the red let
ter events OF the annals Of the NJ. BIS.
Charity. Esther, All and b. z. S. met with
US for the FIRST time. We were sorry TO find
Dell so troubled and anxious concerning the
forest Ere which was raging near her
home, but now the danger is past, hope she
win spend many happy years in her nice
house and be able TO meet with US at our next
picnic.
Meb. are you lost, strayed or stolen from
your PARKWAY western homer We were ask
ing about you, but no one could give any def
mite information; it was even snrmised that
you had new name. We are still interested
in you. Won't you give us one Of your nice
long, interesting letterss o. x. has lost none Of
her interest in the column, although she was
deprived, by i'll health. Of the pleasure Of our
picnic. told her all about it and gave her
the beautiful flowers which Aunt Maria per-
mitted us to take to our homes. ! kept them
fresh and beautiful for our church the fol-
lowing Sunday, and they were greatly ad-
mired.
have been away on a vacation and had the
pleasure of telling N. L. H. all that / know
about the clan. She had lots Of questions to
| ask, because she has never been to the re-
union you know. think we will soon have
letter from her.
know the greater part Of the N. BIS live
on farms. How about q name for the home or
| the farms We call ours "The Overlook. 1t
| was suggested by the broad, extensive view
| which we have. Those Of us who haven't al
| ready selected an appropriate one had better
| utilize some Of these long cold evenings in
the choosing Of good name. The naming
Of home or farm should be based on natural
| surroundings and conditions; that is, the
| names should "ft'. For instance, it is
ridiculous to name place SHADY Nook when
| there isn't bit Of SHADE within mile; or TO
call a farm CHERRY Hill'' when it possesses
neither cherries nor hill. l will send list
that was published in Fars, Journal few
years ago; perhaps somewhere in the list you
| may find suggestion which may be worked
into fitting name for your own place.
| Now. Aunt Madge. when letters are scarce
| and you want something to fill up, you may
be glad Of even this:
