BELFAST FRIENDS HAPPY IN THE
SOUTH. In personal note friend So
iourning in st. Augustine, Fla, says of
the birthday cele of one of Bel
fast's wonderfully preserved ladies:
again the months have rolled round
and once more Belfast lady, Mrs. Au
eusta S. Frederick. celebrates her birth
day in the land of flowers. The day fell
on Sunday, March Goth, and was passed
quietly at her home in st. Augustine,
with many flowers, fruits, confectionery,
pictures, congratulatory telegram and
many remembrance cards from friends
in good old Maine and elsewhere. None
of the old friends forget the day and its
significance On Monday the festivities
took the form of a luncheon with some
of her old-t time school day friends, Mrs.
Mary c. Fessenden and Mrs. Carrie G.
Pendletop, who live in nearby hotel,
and the meeting was a delight to all.
One of her southern friends from Jack
sonvllle came over to spend the day.
May Time in its relentless sweep keep
the celebrant another year and as many
more added to it as the body and mind
can comfortably bear"
