they drift before me tonight. A large
room, opening on a broad veranda;
French windows thrown wide, reveal
the Doric columns as they lift their
heads in simple dignity-they need
no crown to proclaim their ancestral

and refinement of the master of the
colonial home.

the spacious rooms into a factory

socks are being knitted, suits of
gray look as tailOr-made, as if from

All of this was done by dainty
hands that had known no harder
work than the making of the filmiest
of laces, the sheerest of embroidery
and playing symphonies of great
composers.

MEETING JUNIOR MISSION

BAND.
A meeting of the Junior Mission
Band was held Sunday afternoon, at
$3.50 o'clock, at the manse. The meet
ing was conducted by the president,
Cherries Virgin. The regular pro-
gram was omitted, but interesting
reports were made. The treasurer
gave an encouraging report Of last
years work, and a letter from Mrs.
Lacy Moffett, who is in China, do
ing missionary work, was read. The
band was distressed to learn that
one little girl, who is being educated,
is very i'll in the hospital with fever.
The older class of juniors will take
up some of the junior Christian En-
deavor work, for which a committee
was appointed, with the following
chairmen: Louis Mcclellan, chairman
lookout committee; Julia Lively,
chairman prayer meeting committee
Mary Coney, chairman missionary
committee, and Audrey Keller, chair
man social committee.
All the members of the Junior
band and the Wee Folks were chosen
alternately by the committees. A
motto for each will be selected. Psalm
drills will be part of the program
here, and each committee is striving
to see who will do the best work. At
the meeting Sunday, the children
were asked who could sing the 23rd
Psalm, and the smallest child of the
Wee Folks, Jean Bostwick, sang it
very sweetly. The meeting was then
closed with a song.

DEATH OF MRS.
MARTHA De GERHARDT.

The many friends of Mrs. Martha
de Gerhardt, were shocked to learn
of her death April 9th, in Rosario de
Santa Fe, Argentina, South America,
which sad news was received Satur-
day by her two brothers, Messrs.
Charles J., and F. R. Mertins, of this
city. Mrs. de Gerhardt made her
home in Pensacola, where she was
loved for her lovable character and
sunny disposition, before going to
South America twenty-seven years
ago with her husband, whose death
occurred in that country five years
ago. Since the death Of Mrs. Ger
hardt's husband she had made her
home in Argentina, with her devoted
adopted son, Mr.. Emilio c. Waller,
who was with his mother at the time
of her death, but whose illness was
only of a few hours duration, which
makes the news of her death particu-
larly sad, as her relatives thought
her well and happy and looked for
ward to having her with them in Oc-
tober, when she would make her fu-
ture home in the city where she had
spent her girlhOod days. Mrs. de Ger
hardt was laid to rest, by the side of
her husband in her South American
home, where she had spent so many
happy years and numbered many
friends who loved her for her bright
and cheerful ways, as she will be
remembered by hundreds of friends
here who will mourn her sudden
death
