The society or Junior EuQ0hVOT w 4 meet with Miss Jones Friday, 3 p. m., at the home of Mrs. c. W. Mil Ter.
 Miss Jones, who has been boarding with Mrs. H. G. Dunham during the last month, will move this week to Mrs. Browning's, where her goods were stored at the time of her leaving Mrs. Vaill's tenement.
 Mrs. Julius Browning, who has been for twelve weeks nursing in the scarlet fever hospital at Amherst, Mass, has returned home. Mrs. Browning was urged to remain for two months longer, taking charge or the Pratt hospital during the vacation of the matron, Miss Saunders. Her return was most welcome to Stafford ville. Before she could even reach her home she was called for by two urgent cases, and spent most of her first night of respite in the house Of neighbor, watching over the sick. It means much to a community to have as one of it's members woman of such training and one whose love of humanity, as we'll as of her pro- fession, makes her ready always in response and sympathy, as we'll as in skillful service.
