Dear M. B. Friends:

Dear M. B. Friends:
One warm day in early summer seven or
eight years ago, pleasant faced little lady
came TO my door, and as greeted her she
said: sis this Aunt Madge"? Learning
it was, she introduced herself. This was
my first meeting with Erne Slime.
think at that time she had not con-
tributed anything to the column, but she
had been so interested in the letters of the
nieces and the talk of reunion, that at
the noon hour, being at a hotel in town,
she had walked a mile up hill facing the
hot sun to see Aunt Madge personally and
extend most cordial invitation to her
cottage at Contention Cove.
This was one of the many, many
thoughtful kindnesses she loved to do.
The next October, in acceptance of that
invitation, we gathered at the place
which, ever since, has seemed like home
to us. The bright, cheerful, open fire that
glowed welcome was but the symbol of
the greeting we always received as year
after year we wendell our various ways to
the cottage. How many memory pictures
VIC hdNC otoASo Al Jul uiAh0s "a NhOSC ICu
letter days!
What schock we all experienced when
the unexpected news came to us that her
life-work was ended! Truly, we had
never thought that that could be. We
had accepted her gracious hospitality, and
we think she knew how fully we appre-
ciated it. Many will recall her unnum-
bered deeds of kindness. She was always
Thoughtful Of others, thoughtful OF theil
needs; thoughtful OF their happiness, and
to all this circle of Mutual friends and
helpers she will continue to be q living
reality.
Although they meet with us no more on
the shores of time, we cherish a sense o.
their associations with us in such a way
that Bea, Ego, Ruby, Novice, E. A. G., Day
and now Erne Slime, still retain place il
our column and our interests. Her iasl
contribution was a tribute to E. A. G.
printed only two weeks ago.
