She so warmly says: Tt is a real grief for me to .sever-my con- nectfon' and we shall miss her. 1 Mrs. Mary c. Pickens, with her usual interest and zeal. sends to this issue her plan, outline of work for the Children of the Confectionery. Surely they will take hold and accomplish this beautiful work.
