Willie Martineau, harmonica, were out
in full party attire, and played the old
southern melodies. No doubt if the
sun hadn't set it would still be shin

The Social club was entertained at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt last
Wednesday evening. It was a dreary,
rainy night, but within everything was
cozy and bright with light. There
were no stars shining, but after the
program had been rendered we knew
we had bright stars within. Lillian
Stendahl, as vice-presidcnt, called the
meeting to order, Winton Peterson
acting as secretary. There were no
business transactions at this time.

The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1921-03-26

These and many other interesting
facts concerning the states and terri
tories of our Union are brought to
light concisely, entertainingly and in
the smallest possible space in a series
of forty-eight feature articles entitled,
1.-THE Story of Our States" which we
began publishing in the last issue of
The Pleasantville Press.
This feature is prepared by one who
uses the name Jonathan Brace. We
will not say that it is his real name.
We do say that he is a distinguished
New England novelist who has made
both a hobby and a serious study of
American history. The enigma of his
identity becomes increasingly interest
ing from the number of odd, yet per-
fectly authentic facts which he has
dug up in this series.
In each case the coal of arms of
the state is shown. This will be par
ticularly gratifying to many readers,
for the eason that it is exceedingly
difficult to secure the coat of arms of
each state. So difficult is it that the
idea almost was abandoned before a
complete set was located for this SER
les.
Readers are advised to cut the stor-
les out until they have a complete set.
They then will have a condensed his
tory of the states and territories which
would cost them much time and mon
ey if they attempted to obtain it
through libraries. The complete coat
of arms is an interesting thing to have
and cannot be procured by any other
means without great difficulty.
