were particularly dwelt upon by the
speaker, whose utterances were OF
rare value on account of her actual
residence in the noted home. Miss

upon the war which the settlement

very clear. Detailed accounts of the
college extension courses carried on
at the house were exceedingly inter,
esting. Lectures are delivered by or.

utilized. The boarding club for work,
ing girls, which aims to inCulcate in,

published and all the children did SO
well that it does not seem wise to sin,

young. The ladies of the church serv,
ed refreshments at the close of the
