Reunion of Clio Girls of sos

The 10Th annual reunion of the Clio
girls of the sos, took place Wednesday,
August 2lst, in Bliss Park, Saginaw.
The well laid plans for our gathering
this year were formulated by our effic-
lent president, Miss Lucy Davis.
After the usual bounteous dinner.
and "reminiscences. we were to be treat
ed to a ride about the city, Sight See
ing. But you know THE best laid
schemes o. mice and men gang aft a.
gley." Dame nature thwarted US, for
before the dinner was finished there
came mutterings of thunder and flashes
of lightning, followed by rain drops.
But the girls of the sos were equal to
the occasion for in less time than it
takes to write it, nimble fingers gather
ed all that remained of the feast and
nimble feet quickly carried them to a
nearby street car and we hied ourselves
to the home of one of our beloved men,
bers, Mrs. Celia Foote. There the
latch string was out and the commod-
ious home at our disposal. After COM
pleting the interrupted dinner, the US
ual routine of business was disposed of.
Our election declared Mrs. Nettie
Gillett, president, Miss Lucy Davis,
secretary, and Miss Loretta Waite,
treasurer. A motion was carried to
name our gathering 1.-The Clio Girls of
the $685." also committee was ap-
pointed to prepare banner for our use
before the next meeting. Absent MEM
bers sent letters of regret which were
listened to with interest.
These meetings are indeed interest
ing to it's members, keeping alive the
tie of friendship which is golden knot
tied by angel hands. One Of the girls
took to this meeting real link, in onr
chain of friendship. This link was in
the shape of an autograph album.
What live boy or girl of the '8O's did
not own one of these albums? This one
was presented to one of our girls in
1879 by her Sabbath School class of
Clio M. p. Church. 1t contained auto
graphs of many distant friends. many
that are now dead and the writing of
members present on this occasion. Not
few read something after this style:
Don't forget me when you're absent,
Keep for me little thought, In the
depth of your affection, Just one sweet
forget-me-not. Oh the Kind wishes
penned there! found one: "May you
always be happy, And live at your ease,
Get kind husband, And do as you
please" Still another: "When you are
washing at the tub, Think of me before
you rub. And if the water is too hot,
Cool it and forget-me-not.
Last year the topic after reminicences
was woman Suffrage" this year the
war, religion and cults came in for
their share. The girls of the SOS new
er expected to have their families plung
ed into war and there was sympathy
expressed for the mother with sons in
France and in the camps; also for Mrs.
Estella Hunter, of Saginaw, whose
husband so recently died. Our place of
meeting for next year was left in the
hands of our secretary and president
to determine. Wherever the meeting
may be placed we know all who were
present August 2lst, 1913, will make
an earnest effort to attend.

EARLY LIFE IN CAPITAL,
ALLEN C. CLARK'S THEME
Expresses Wonder That Beautiful
City Should Be Dedicated to
Political Serfdom.

Why beauaiful strip of land (the
District of Columbia) should be
carved out of Gods fairest domain
and dedicated to politica serfdom is
question which Allen c. Clark. pres
ident of the Columbia Historical So
ciety, said at q meeting of the or
ganization at the Hotel Shoreham last
night he was unable to answer. Mr..
Clark said it was never intended by
the trainers of the Constitution that
any portion of free America should
be denied the elective franchise.
Mr.. Clark read a paper on the early
history of the city. giving special
prominence 10 David Burnes, his
daughter, Marcia, and Gen. Van Ness.
He showed pictures of the cottage in
which Burnes lived ad called asten-
ton to the fact that the residence
of Marcia, who became the bride of
Gen. Nan Ness, was situated between
the Star building and the Raleigh.
. Mr.. Clark said "The Rambler" who
writes for the magazine section OF
The Sunday Star was doing splen :
declared that there was only one
feature in connection with the writ
ings of the Rambler" which he re-
grette.l. That was his evident dis
inclinat ton to reveal his identity.
The speaker said the prevailing
idea that David Burnes was un-
educated and uncouth was an error.
Ha declared that Burnes was a man
of some culture and read letter
written by the early Washingtonian
which disclosed considerable erudi-
ton.

THANKSGIVING

Be thankful! For we've lived
ito see the dawn of worldwide
liberty. The tyrant sees his
throne upset-or twill be soon,
already yet-and fettered ma
tions break the chain they long
ihave worn in tears and pain.
The tyrant who kicked up the
row that he might wear upon
his brow the laurels of a con-
queror, has got his stomach full
lof war. Be thankful that the
ityrant's hopes have gone a-slip-
ping down the slopes, be thank
ful that the tyrant's schemes
proved, in the washing, hotpoint
dreams. Be thankful that the
Prussian sword, like Jonah, has
gone overheard; no longer can
the Prussian frown make any
Ipeople knuckle down. The bully
Of the world is licked, the
bosom of his pants we'll kicked.
Be thankful that we had our
share in those great doings over
there. Be thankful that our
boys arose, just painting to get
at the foes, and showed the
world how we can fight when
we defend eternal right. Be
thankful that you've had a
chance to help our dauntless lads
in France, and that you still
may give and give, that war ac-
tivities may live. The Red Cross
roll call soon will come, and you
should lay aside a sum, COM
posed of cartwheels and OF
scads, to help the cause that
helps our lads. It's good such
causes to advance-be thankful
that you have the chance.
