to hear her skilled playing of the

so helpful that he says now he

without it..
We wish a generous bunch OF
Mayfowers could be sent now to
every absent Williamstownian who
has rejoiced over them in earlier
days here. What memories would
be kindled by them! We have never
heard that even Luther Burbank
thought he could improve these
beautiful flowers.
