LyndOnviIle Boy Drowned

The Winooski river claimed it's
first drowning victim of the season
Sunday afternoon, when Charles
Grisomi of Lyndonville, aged IA, a
student at ST. MichaeTs College, was
drowned while bathing with five
companions. The drowning occurred
near the large island, around the
bend from the gorge. Whether the
young lad could swim is not known,
but it is said by his companions that
he was taken with cramps. When
first noticed he made a grab for a
branch of a tree, which broke, and
he went to the bottom. His body
has not been recovered Sunday eye
ming. In this section of the river
there are many holes and some are
quite deep. The boys at the college
had always been forbidden to go in
swimming in the river or any body
of water unless accompanied by one
of the faculty at the college. Charles
Grisomi was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Grisomi of Lyndonville and
had been a student at the college

TO MEET AT THE CLUB HOUSE
WOman's Club To Try An Expert
menu Committee Chosen.

There was a large number in at
tendance at the June meeting of the
Woman's Club, which was held Mon
day afternoon at Pythian Hall. Mrs.
Sarah "A. Hovey, president, was in
charge. After the report of the
secretary, the president announced
the election of a treasurer, Mrs. Amy
Stanley, and also made the an
nouncement that the executive board
had voted to place a copy of the
General Federation Bulletin in the
Athenaeum.
The following committees were
appointed by the president; Year
Book, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Stanley, Mrs.
Frances Cady; custodians, Mrs. Mary
Summerville, Mrs. Mabel Flint;
press, Miss Gertrude Menut, Miss
Florence J. May; library, Miss Ca
rolyn D. Ely, Miss Marian Patter-
son; hospital, Mrs. Flora Lovejoy,
Mrs. Ella Dunnett, Mrs. Nellie
Smythe.
1t was voted to hold the next three
meetings at the club house, as an
experiment. Between the musical
numbers of the program the reports
of the delegates to the state fedora
ton at ST. Adams, Miss Martha Hall,
Miss Florence J. May, were given.
Mrs. Minnie B. HaZen, also, gave a
short talk about this federation
meeting.
A program of pleasing variety
was rendered by Mrs. liza Niles Jack
son of Morrisville. Mrs. Jackson
has a warm vibrant contralto voice,
a charming personality and unusual
dramatic ability. Her first selec-
ton, Joan of Arc by Bordese, was
very descriptive and was fauItless-
ly delivered. She gave a fascinating
Scotch song for an encore. After
her second group, consisting of ION
Conway Quay" by Trotere and
Parted" by Tosti, her encore was
Del Riego's "Slave Songs" Most
impressive of the afternoons songs
was Barbara Freitchie" by Slo-
man. She used a flag and her dra-
matte and soulful Interpretation of
the patriotic number was thrilling
and inspiring. She responded to an
insistant encore with a Cradle |
Song"
A rising vote of thanks was given |
by the club to Mrs. Jackson for her |
delightful entertainment.
