 ING HOUSE,

POETRY. THE OLD NEW ENGLAND MEET.
 ING HOUSE. As go up and down these days Amongst New Englan6s pleasant
 people, I never hear a single word About the meeting house or steeple; The meeting house and steeple, too, It seems. are pretty Tow today The old New England meeting house Us passing fast away. It's hard to tell a meeting house Today by looks or situation, For some are built like concert halls, And others like a railroad station; There's arches, apses, foyers, foils. And festooned fonts in fine array The old white-steepled meeting house Has almost passed away. How grand they stood upon the hills, Or at the townships windy center! How self-respecting were the folks That came for miles their courts to
 enterl
 The "closest7 workmen in the parts, They made the pulpits. so they say Too bad the churchliest church of all Is passing fast away How grand they stood upon the hills, And also in the village valleys! What signposts of the soul they were What ways and means for inward"
 ralliesi
 How quick their slender steeples
 caught
 The early morn's hirtatious ray Too bad the churchliest of all Is marked to pass away. What art the old-time builders used. The Wrenish spire. the Doric pillar! The hand made pews Of fragrant pine Unvexed by stain or swedish tiller." They lay upon the landscapes lap, Like jewels on a lady's tray The old colonial meeting house That's passing fast away. ! wonder what we stand for now, We folks whose forbears separated From too much form-a- scramblins

 To just the things our forbears
 hated?

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The one dish meal is hearty and tells for economy. What has been practiced as a war measure need not be aban- doued.

MRS. OLIN D. ADAMS

Incz May Pike, wife of Olin n
Adams, whose death came rs shock
to many on Wednesday, April 2, was
born January 2Sth 1871, in Concord
where her early life was spent
December 81, 1892, she was married
to Olin ID. Adams and after residing
two years in Boston they came to St
Johnsbury to live. Mrs. Adams was
a member of the Order of the East
ern Star and had been the efficient
secretary of the w. r. c. for some
years. She was loyal member of
the Searchlight Club of the South
church. In recent years off strain and
stress her sympathy had gone out to
those across the sea and she had
worked faithfully for the Red Cross.
Lack of physical strength, while pre-
venting her from always entering into
outside activities, did not keep her
from doing her part in church and
community affairs. By nature, sensi-
tive, retiring and modest, there was no
lack of strength of character. Those
near and dear to her found her strong
to lean upon. '"rhe heart of her
husband trusted in her," In neigh
borly kindness she excclIed, very
often doing the little acts of friend
lness that mean so much to those
who receive them. Her home was
the place she delighted in and in it
centered her love and interest. Her
husband and her daughter survive her
and a wider circle of relatives and
friends feel that an irreparable loss
has come to them.
The funeral service will be held this
afternoon at three o'clock at the resi-
dence on Summer street, conducted
by her pastor, Rev. r. A. Poole. Tho
interment will be in the family lot at
Concord.

is almost completely destroyed-the
cathedral stands out in magnificent
dignity-exquisitely lacy in design, a
very marvellous production of Gothic
architecture. 1t has been quite bad

noticeable at first approach. I spent
two or three hours walking about the
city-after visiting the cathedral. 1t

suits of shelling and bombing on the
buildings. The next day in Paris I

painting is the armies of the allies

than l really intended, and after
starting I got a snatch. of conversa-
tion-a rumor-that we may be kept
in New York month after landing
before our rehabilitation, SOL may
not get home in time for maple sy-
rup, but at least we can go after dam
delions or something equally exciting,
and by that time 1 am sure to have

My dear sister:
Just Il few lines to let you know l
am feeling very good today. Am get
ting along very well. Hope to be out
of heeree in eeeferew waee
of here in a few weeks. l hope so
anyhow. Time. goes very slow. l
am not doing anything, just eat and
sleep and go to a show every night
at the Red Cross.
The Red Cross is the best outfit
in France. The little girl comes up
to the hospital every week, gives the
boys anything they need. If she has
not got something they want she
takes their ward number, and in u
few hours she comes back with the
good. If you or any one wants to
know what they do with the money
they get any f the A. E. F. boys
can tell them.
Well sister, l don't know when l
/ will be home, not for some time
yet, probably July. Well that is bet
ter than not coming at all. You said
that picture did not look like me.
Well you are right. Lots of the boys
had some taken, they all look the
same.
l hope you are feeling better now.
l know what it is to be in a hospi-
tai for Ihavebeen in six since I came
to France.
This is a very old city here, some
very old houses. Will try and send
you some pictures of the hospital.
This hospital used to be a German
barracks. Very large, and we'll fixed
up with slate roof, stone stairs,
big windows. The rooms are large.
This room has IL beds. All kinds Of
sickness in here. Some flu and some
shell shock. Everything you can
think of. Most of the boys 60 to
the base hospital in France from
here if their company is not very
near, and from the base some go
home.
can't write everything I would
like to, for it would take me so long,
and l can tell you when / get home
anyhow.
/, Today, it is just bit cloudy, very
warm, like April at home. To see
the ground all bare is very strange
TO me at this time of year.
suppose it is very cold up

frozen if I was to 60 home in a hu,
being so warm here, but l would
very glad to take chance.
Now, l suppose there will be so
st. J. boys coming home every
and they will have lot to tell. So
will tell the truth, others will lie,
me I have nothing to say, and
very sure what l will tell you alb
my life in France will be very sh
and sweet, understand.
