THE SILENT SISTERS ~
~ OF CAMP WALTON

1t has been said that a woman can
not keep a secret but for several
months seven women have proven that
statement false, at least, they have
proven their ability to keep silent.
After due consideration and with
some trepidation We have decided TO
give the public the benefit of a part
of our secret, merely for the good of
that public. Several months ago we
organized a society and gave it the
name of THE S. SIS of c. w. (The
members who do not live at Camp
Walton patronize that post oftice).
Where we meet or when We meet
we do not intend to let it be known;
nor is 1t our intention to acknowledge
that we belong to the silent Sisters"
We have talked the matter over and
have discussed it from every stand
point and have decided that an un-
truth, call it lie, if you will is not
wicked il it harms no one, so at our
last meeting we decided to deny point
blank that we belong to or have any
knowledge Of said society. We will
always remain silent on that part OF
the subject
We meet together, not to gossip, for
that is against our principles, and as
We found that when We began talking
about our neighbors We spoke of their
frailties more often than of their vir-
tues, We decided to never mention
even the name of friend or neighbor
during our meeting and that we would
select some subject and each give our
opinion on that subject, not for one
member to write paper and read to
the others, but just talk it over to.
gether just as we used to gossip over
our neighbours dress, children, house
keeping, etc, and we found it inter-
esting and instructive.
We have our president, secretary
aud treasurer, and We have a little
money in the treasury, for whenever
a member interrupts another while
speaking, she is fined cents, and We
have all had to pay several times. but
we have almost learned our lesson,
and can sit quietly and listen until
the speaker has finished her discourse.
We have for our motto, silence is
golden when you have nothing worth
saying
We answer to roll call by giving a
short quotation, something pertinent
to the subject under discussion, and
then we all repeat in chorus:
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1910-05-01

1--WE wish you health, we wish you
wealth,
We wish you gold in store.
We wish you haven when you die,
What could we wish you more?"
Which puts us all in harmony with
one another
Them we take up the subject chosen
for discussion.
These discussions have been so en-
joyable that We concluded that it was
selfish to keep it all to ourselves, so
at the last meeting we decided that
as we had found good thing We
would pass it on.
We have discussed the meat boycott
and each member has joined the boy
colt to the extent, at least, that they
refuse to eat meat, though of course
they have to cook it for their families.
They have discussed Taft and Ted
dy, the Panama canal, the attitude of
the Japanese concerning the Manchu-
rian railway, we have debated over the
merits of republicanism, democracy,
socialism, in fact, we have torn apart
and brought to light every phase of
politics and have shown why they
have been and always will be failures

man, but we are not suffragettes;
please, oh, please, do not think that.
We have Investigated every claim
that both Peary and Cook have made
and have positively decided that
neither Peary nor Cook ever reached
the north pole, and that if they had
really reached it, we can not see any
good accomplished thereby.
We are beginning to get rather
short on subjects to discuss and were
wondering what we would take up next
when one of our members said:
Il think there is entirely too much
said and written regarding the duty of
mothers, of how they should raise
their children and the different meth
DDS a wife should take to keep their
husbands love, and entirely too little
said of the fathers duty, and | never
see any rules given to a man telling
him how to keep the love Of his wife,
and dear knows, he needs some rules.
Now l think this thing should be
changed and more attention given to
the man both old and young
We all heartily agreed and the sub
ject was divided into three heads:
| First, How to retain the love of your
wife; second, the duty of the father to
