hood was spent here has been prom
inent in Bethlehem, is a member of
the 10th Century Club, having been
it's secretary for several years and
also interested in the work of the
Congregational church. A few years
ago she went into business with [.
V. Goodale selling her share in the
studio last summer.
On Thursday, The Strawberry Hill
house in Bethlehem, was the scene of
a very touching farewell party,
when about 80 of Mrs. Julia Colby's
friends met to wish her ''God-sreed"
in her new home. The party was a
complete surprise to Mrs. Colby, who
had been spending the day with Mrs.
David Perkins. She was presented
with a beautiful linen set and two
silver spoons engraved with her
initials and Bethlehem, n. H., Nov.
8, 1913. Mrs. Barrett made the pres
entation by reading original verses
and Mrs. Taylor also read an original
farewell poem which expressed the
feelings of all Mrs. Colby's friends.
We feel that what is the Bethlehem
friends loss is our gain and we are
all glad to welcome Mrs. Julia Colby
Powers back to her girlhood home
and Mr. Powers has the congratula-
lions of all his friends. II
