There was no lack of animated conversation and to make things more interesting when all sat down to re- treatments. which were served at small tables, each one was asked to tell in two minutes the merits of his especial hobby.
 This meeting turned out to be quite an exchange not only of ideas. but of materials. for every one found out what the other fellow was interested in and some saved stamps and others silk pieces and others gave cherished recipes and all found even those whom they thought dull and stupid were most interesting when led to talk upon what was uppermost to them.
