In the course of his w~anderings the
disconsolate Freddie came upon Mrs.
Odell- Carney and pudgy Mr.. Rodney.
They were sitting In a quiet corner of
the reading room. Mr.. Rodney had
had a hard day. He had climbed a
mountain-or. more accurately speak
ing, he had climbed halfway up and
then the same half down. He was
very tired. Freddie observed from his
lonely station that Mr.. Rodney was
fast dropping to sleep. Notwithstanding
his companions rapid flow Of small
talk. 1t did not take Freddie long to
decide. He was an outcast and a par

which that gentleman gladly accepted.
And so 1t came about that Freddie sat
face to face with the last resort. at the

serene adulation into the yes Of a
woman who might have had a son as

had encountered fervid g~allants In all

over with surprise for the first time
In her long and varied career. At the
end Of half an hour she pulled herself
together and tapped him on the shout

her lips.

They were walking in one Of the
mountain paths some distance behind

Mrs. Odell-Carney had stopped to rest
in the leafy niche above the path. She
was lazily tanning herself on the stone

what they were saying as they ap-
preached. These were the first words
she fully grasped. and they caused her
to prick up her ears:

EIGHT NEW MEMBERS
Fine Program and Large Attendance
Saturday Afternoon

The twenty-second season OF the
Fortnightly began on Saturday after-
noon with a large attendance and an
excellent program. The enw presi-
dent Mrs. II. W. Tirrell, presided and
received many congratulations on
the favorable outlook for success
fiil year. During the business meet
ing eight new members were voted
into the club and an interesting re-
port OF the Eighteenth Annual meet
ing OF the Vermont State Federation
of Womens' clubs was read.
The program, in charge OF Miss
1iIda Pratt. chairman of the current
events committee, was thoroughly Ell
joyable and most unusually, in that
the club had the pleasure of hearing
some personal opinions OF It's own
members and friends on questions of
the day in foreign countries, as OBJ
served personally by them during
the summer. Miss Pratt gave a brief
outline OF the Balkan situation; Miss
