Dear M. B. Friends:

Dear NJ. B. Friends:
First of all, wish to make an announce
ment to you W hich hope will be gladly
received by all. Dell and her John will
open their house and make welcome there,
August 26, the family OF NJ. BIS. We APP
preciate this invitation very much, for we
have taxed their hospitality number OF
times. We want them to just let us wait
upon ourselves, and do no extra work in
connection with the event.
We hope for a good attendance, and
assure every one who cannot be there,
that q letter or card of remembrance
makes a bright spot in the after-dinner
hour when we gather together and listen
to the messages from the absent ones. 1t
is understood II the day is not fair, the
reunion will be the first pleasant day
thereafter.
Now have some enjoyable letters from
the nieces for you.
Dear AEnt Madae andlA. B. Sisters:
/ wrote aietter the other day-a real long
one lin my mind) for the column. now i will
try q short one On the 4th inst. we were
invited to 20 picnicking with friends. and for
the sake OF telling that had been on trip,
We acce pied no. not for that, wholly, but to
break mp the monotony Of always staying at
home, for surely il is good to get away once
in a while, and il is certainly good to get
home again, as Aunt Maria says.
also hsve q new recipe to send-at least
1t Ia new to me. 1t Is not original with me,
for there's nothing original in me except
original sin.
But to get Mt my little outing. Ny John
and l were invited to cross Union River bay
with Capt. S. J. Treworgy and wife,. Mrs. E.
SWEET and daughter, and three ofthe captains
children Harvey, Julia and little Tom. The
day was all that could be desired, and the
company most agreeable. Capt. Treworgy
has weirs over at Shady Nook, and we had
q sumptuous dinner Of fried mackerel, smelts
and herring But that was not all. There
were little cakes, big cakes, pies, doughnuts,
good white bread and plenty Of good butter,
coffee, with cream that was cream. not q
substitute.
can't name all the menu, it would take too
long. but there was fruit cake that looked
like wedding cake, and tasted like il, too.
Some one said. "Oh, wedding cake" and in
stantly Il. got interested, and was seen 10
take up plateful and try 70 put il In . cake
box near. but did not succeed. That set me
guessing Surely, you are not contem plating
anything serious are you. h. E. Ifyou are, Just
let me know and you shall have great large
cake. H
Interesting little Tom was shown the old
man Of the mountaius, and talked about him,
but, say. Tom, wouldn't you think his back
would ache lying in that position so long.
The children did some fishing, Annie 8. being
high line. believe.
Aunt Maria, ! did not meet any one so
cramped and twisted In her constitution
as that cousin of yours. think from your
description really could draw her picture,
and was never guilty OF drawing 9 straight
line. She 10 to be pitied, and may be prayed for
After our dinner, John and went to call on

plain gold band on the third finger of her left
hand, and I wondered II N. was the suthor

e-pie order at the house where we ate our
dinner-plenty Of everything, even to

| Nothing cramped or twisted there, Aunt
Maria, as you would see il you knew her.
