Quite a number of our young sprigs
of 90 years or thereabouts went out to
Wallace hill last Friday night to help
William Rollins get over an anniver-
sary of his birth and when they got
there found that about $50 other fell
lows with their girls were there to.
They were packed into Wills and Ber-
tha's house like sardines in a box, but
that made no difference; it made them
all the more social, and the way they
went for Jennie's coffee and doughnuts
was caution, but like the widows
oil of olden time the food held out, and
so did the party, which never broke up
until 4 o'clock in the morning. The

The birds have come back, the frogs

and the Haviland home. In speaking of
the Haviland home, it reminds us that
Mrs. Havilsnd has not remained idle

taken up most of her time and atten |
ton. Her talents are appreciated by |
The music lovers OF Portland and many
ine positions as director and organist |
nave been offered her, including that of J
he Longfellow church. These she has
refused, as the lure of good old New
1ury and her home, Haverford has a |
greater attraction The winter has been |
mild one, and lively one. We can
ind no fault with it, but somehow,
With the home coming of these friends
Who we have so much missed we can
ay. "Now ends the winter of my dis
ontent. made glorious summer" Yesl
