variegated hues of autumn, and the
fields of matured grains on every
hand, reminded us that a year had

years. had been heightened and made
stronger by the addition of one more
link.
At noon dinner was announced. and
the welcome souni found a ready
response from all present. The table
was decorated with the bright autumn
leaves, and a large bowl of yellow
nasturtiums formed the center piece.
The menu consisted of every good
thing which a bountiful season could
provide, prepared with that rare skill
which our hostess is known to possess,
and served in a pleasing and accept
able manner by Miss Alice Wright,
who saw that our every want was
supplied.
There we're present Mesdames
Martha A. Wright, Lizzie Orion.
