 One Saturday in August I had the rare privilege of taking tea with the poet, Miss Anna Hampstead Branch, of Hemp stead street, New London, after some difficulty in reaching my destination. 1t was wonderful to be in a house that was built in 1647, and to find almost every thing the way they left it, those sturdy. dauntless pioneers who sacrificed so much that others through their loss might gain. The atmosphere seemed to breathe of the past and one could not help but reflect as we sat before the open fireplace of what has gone before and the inspiration to 20 | forward to do and dare for righteousness. Partially the history of the place was re- hearsed, l even held a small yellow pitcher that is 200 years old in room that is 270 years old One day we left the ''kitchen" and hopped into the car and motored to the Devils 1oDyard. It was a most enioy- l able trip. l didn't have to wait to reach the yard because I kept hopping out all along the route. Beautiful countryi
