Stone Reunion.

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Benton
L. Swift, on Oct. 8, the Stone cousins
enjoyed their eleventh annual reunion,
with sixty.five present, making it the
largest party they have ever had.
Four cousins have been added to the
family since the last reunion-Mrs. Earle
Stone, Mrs. Guy Monk, and Masters Ar
mold Stone and Lenwood Andrews.
Promptly at noon dinner was ready to
serve. And the problem was, could 30
much and so many kinds be eaten at one
dinner, but the "cousin appetite" solved
it. Menu:
Baked Beans Chicken
Brown Bread White Bread
Salads Celery
Chill Sauce Cucumber and Beet Pickles
Piccalilli
Pies
Apple Raspberry Mlnce Lemon
Judge Peters Raspberry Jelly

son, age 10 years, proved that the
younger generation will sustain the rep.
utation OF the older cousins for good
cookery.
Master Henry Swift Stone assisted in
entertaining the young members OF the
party by taking them for short rides with
his pony, Queen.
As we saw the cousins greeting one
another, and so thoroughly enjoying the
entire day, it would seem that Mrs. Kate
Holden had indeed expressed the senti-
ments of all in the following:
With hearts that are memory laden,
With joy that's akin to pain,
We gaze In the faces Of dear ones,
And meet their warm hand-clasp again.
Each year as we come from our fresides.
BY loves silken cord being led,
We bring greeting and love for the living,
And love and tears for the dead.
Oft the pathway Of life is Ger clouded,
And we journey midst fast falling tears,
But II courage and hope cheer US onward,
Soon the bright bow OF promise appears.
robbed us
OF beauty and grace. yet. in truth.
It's little we care, while each heart holds
The magical fountain Of youth.
Then let's laugh and be merry together,
Throw sorrow and care far away,
Just rejoice and give thanks that we're living,
On this glad anniversary day.
