those In distress, we found our funds
very low and decided that quick action
was necessary that we might re-

each member came to the party with
green trimmings on her dress, and
each carried a little green pocket

counted the letters more than double.

the money counted. we found to our
delight that our treasury was indeed
growing, and therefore every one en-
loyed herself TO tho fullest extent, aud
partook of refreshments which had
been abundently supplied by our
