Dear NJ. BIS;
have been on a trip, and want to tell you
about it. Last Monday, in company with
other White Ribboners, / went to Winter
Harbor, after beautiful voyage from Mt.
Desert Ferry to Bar Harbor, thence by an
other boat across the beautiful bay. We ar
rived at such a delightful village among the
hills aud groves. / win not try to describe
the many beautiful cottages; that was not
what went to see.
When was so warmly greeted by the loyal
band of White Ribbon women, cur own Janet
in the lead, 1t reminded me of an NJ. b. re-
union. especially when many said; ais this
the M B. DELI" And, oh, the feast of good
things said and done for the uplift of hu-
manity! 1t is beyond my pen to describe, so
will only say wish you had been there. You
surely would have asked that the W. C. 7. L.
emblem might have been pinned upon you,
even il only to be white ribborer-at-large as
have been the most of the time for twenty
FIVE years. In my isolation it has been a Joy
to feel that was small link in the white
chain that circles clear around the world
worn in every cline by every nation, all with
the same meaning. Look up. Lift up. Stand
up.

to take my dough-dish in hand again and
and have chickens welcoming me home again.
MY John found hne housekeeper in my
absence. / tell you. found him entertaining
company when got home. He and the dog
and Sadie gave me a glad welcome home.
hope you will all meet Janet at the reunion
Look for a woman with sweet face, with an
NJ. B. pin; then w. G. T. U. pin; then a sun
shine pin OF course she places the emblem
ahead which is to be worn for that day.
Come to the Chatto hen ranch for the re-
union, if You want to; come before the days
get short and cold before fairs and eonven-
tons get ahead Of US. Come one and all, and
bring your friends. DELL
