Il.
} Edith Gray, who had been intending
: to take the trip with the seniors t,
J Washington, has remained at HON,
to help care for her. Miss Eva Woo

are Ray Smith, laid up with a cole
and grip, little Miss Irene Greens
ilade, who is threatened with pneumo
MIA and Giles Chase, who is having
a run of typhoid fever.
! The closing entertainment in the
lecture course took place Wednesday
evening, the speaker being Edward
fAmherst OFT, who is already well
and favorably known to Lyndonville
audiences. His theme was 1.-THE
Spenders," a subject which gave him
a good opportunity to use his humor-
Gus and satiric powers to advantage.
Mr.. OFT is to be one of the speakers at
the Chautauqua assembly next sum-
mer. This closed a lecture course
which has not only been successful
| financially, but of great value to the
educational interests of the comun-
ity.
The March meeting of the Lyndon
fUnion Club was held in the Gable Hall
last Thursday evening with a good
attendance. At the executive board
meeting just previous, two new mem
bers were admitted to the club, Mrs.
A. F. Christopher and Mrs. G. P.
FGreenslade. Music for the club meet
ing consisted of chorus by the mu-
sic circle and a soprano solo by Mrs.
l.. T. Huntley, with piano accompani-
ment by Miss Irene Stimson and vio-
lin obIigauo by Mrs. Leroy Burrell,
both of which were very delightful.
The household science committee of
which Mrs. E. c. Morse is chairman,
was in charge of the program, and
the speaker was Mrs. Harriet b. Oar
ling of Brookline, Mass, graduate
of Smith and Simmons Colleges. She
gave very interesting and practical
talk, illustrated by charts, on Menu
Making and Planning the Family
Meals She first advised housekeep-
ers to make use of the many free bull
letins on cooking sent on request by
the department of agriculture. She
then spoke in detail of the compost
ton of foods and the proper combina-
tions of different elements to make
up a properly balanced diet, giving il
Illustrations. 1t is evident that the
majority of people must eat more
than is necessary, as one of the ex-
amples Mrs. Darling gave of a per-
fectly balanced and nutritious meal
was; one slice of whole wheat bread,
three prunes and two-thirds of a glass
of milk Meat substitutes, ways of
economy, food combinations both at
tractive and nutritious, and the num-
Der of food units supplied by various
foods were all discussed in her re-
marks, and a very interesting gen
eraI discussion followed at the close |
of the meeting. The "Star Spangled |
as usual, was sung in clos |
ing the program, and all remained to
enjoy a social hour, and partake of
the punch and waters which were
served by the social committee. The
April meeting of the club will be in
charge of the civics and current |
events committee and will include a
lecture by the Rev. Paul d. Moody of
St. Johnsbury.
