The return game with the Brad
ford ball team was played here June
4th, and resulted in a score of 10 to
3 in favor of our team. The young
ladies gave a reception in the even
ing to our ball nine at Mrs. Jessie
Bonds where ice cream and cake
were served. AS B. H. S. won the
first game it is hoped that a third
game may be played in the near
future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Bracket
have taken up their residence here,
occupying one of Mrs. Hosford's
houses. We are glad to welcome
them in our midst again.
Mrs. Hosford invited the Won
ans Club to hold its annual recep-
ton to the gentlemen at her home
on the evening of June 3. The
posters illustrating, the subjects
studied by the Club the past year,
were a source of much amsement
and wonder by those contrasting as
well as guests. A varied musical
program was given. Miss Marcy of
Newbury accompanied Mr.. Mayo
on the violin, which with male
quartette, solos by Misses Morris,
Sleeper and Strong were much e.
joyed. The refreshment committee
provided punch, strawberry ice and
cake. About seventy were present
and all spentsa pleasant evening.
The annual meeting of the Wom-
ans Cemetery Association was held
June 4th. 1t is quite desirable our
list of members be increased. Why
not every lady who is interested in
lots there-and how many there
are-become a member. The an
nual fee is only rs cents, which in
cludes, besides general care, two
mowings with a scythe in a year.
Possibly some one may remark,
"why l always look after my own
lot" which is highly commendable,
but there are neglected lots, posi-
bly, next your own. The contrast
would be moro apparent if those
are uncared for. Andthere are the
paths some one must pay for being
looked after Miss E. G.. Baxter,
Treas, will be pleased to receive
the names and fee of any new mem
bers without further solicitation.

The question has already come up as mat.

The question undoubtedly will be left to her
own inclination to settle.

inconspcuous little group as they crossed

teenth street. The watchman at the door OF
the war department and the messengers in
the corridors recognized them, however, as
they made their way toward the ofice Of the
secretary, returning the grinning salutations
that greeted them on all sides.
Mrs. Taft wore white linen suit. flower
laden hat shaded her face which retains all
its girlhood contours. The door closed upon
them, and 1t was five o'clock before they re
