 He said you can't imagine how many presents I receive from tour ists, and how beautiful they are, so of course we were only too glad to avail ourselves of the opportunity to see the pretty things; and by the time we were half through looking at the hand some embroidered sofa pillows, etc, all of a sudden there was a change, and Instead of the warm October wind a cold mid-October wind swept by our state room and slammed the door. I arose at once to go out, and the cap- tain said: You are just wheye I want you to stay, I saw this coming, and I will lash you in your berths before it comes any heavier now," hes said, "dont worry. This IS a common oc- ence for you, and I thought if you were in here (the room was large) your mother could have a wide berth, and you could sleep on the sofa and be more comfortable"
 When he left us I heard the cap tain giving orders, and pretty soon we heard thunder, and I think it was the severest electrical shower I ever ex- perienced. Every hour the captain would put his head in the window of Tt is all right! Don't mind.'

 There were animals in the lower part of the steamer and they had their legs broken and their pitifu! cries and the terrible thunder made night such as one can hardly imagine.

 Washington, D. C., Sept 6.-Acting upon the recommendation of the Red Cross Committee on Cooperation, headed by c. A. Coffin, the Red Cross War Council has appropriated $300,000 for relief work in the near East, through the American Committee for the Armenian and Syrian relief This is the second appropriation of $300,- 900 to the Armenian Relief committee.

ACADEMY REUNION.

Although not a yellow bow (but my lone one). was in evidence perhaps some of the writers will be interested in the reunion of the former students August 30th. The attendance was not sis large as usual for many have pass ed on and all are growing old. Just think! The last session of the Acade- my was some thirty years ago. We all missed Rev. Charles Spalding, D. D., of Cambridge. Mass, who is at the summer home of his son and did not feel able to make the trip. --
 Another vacant place-that of genial, un-loving, un-making William P. Gross of Providence (who has passed away since we met in 1915). brought sad mem ories: also Mrs. Carrie Tuck Corey. the wife of Hon. George Corey, wl.or has passed on within a year. Mr. Corey, who is as much at home in China and Europe as in America, gave us facts worth hearing about the pres ent war. Lucian B,lrleigh, Miss Mary Robinson (daughter of theI beloved Fanny Phipps Clark, who from '69 to '76 was one Of the most popular girls in the village; Mrs. Alice Hutchinson NoNse; and Mrs. Marian Quick Simonds. and many others who live nearer were there. ,@A-
 But we must not forget Mrs. Lydia Starkweather Hall, who, at the age of 72: years had journeyed from Cali fornia to attend the national meeting of the Ladies of the G. A. R., at Bos- ton. and the Academy reunion She told of her work for the old soldiers and their widows in her, home on the Pacific coast, and was proud of the fact that she voted for Wilson.
 The evening was stormy. but few met in the old stone church and Messrs. Corey, Burieigh and Filling hast kept the hours from seeming SO minutes long. Miss Dorothy Filling hast, Mrs. Lotta Dodge and Mrs. Win sor did their part. and we hope to meet again in 1919.

then I can have a clean one every day although the waist will keep clean the entire week.
 I always save all pieces of ribbon, lace or embroidery and use them for trimming every day underclothes. I use my old white waists for corset covers, + they are not too badly worn; just made one of the fronts of two waists. One waist fastened in the back so that front being whole made the back of corset cover; trimmed with embroidery and made huttonholes: added buttons, and my pretty corset cover was finished.
