PINE GROVE NOTES

The Rev. F. H. Neal preached on Sunday afternoon to a much larger congregation than at any time pre- vious, despite the rain. Mir. Neal chose Romans 6-4 as his teXt-and drew from it many interesting as we'll as practical helps-sending his hearers away, with real inspira- tion, and desire for better things. There have been several arrivals at the Inn during the past week. and few new cottagers coming in.
 MT. and Mrs. Edgar Finney of Stamford with friends, motored up for a short stop at their cottage, "Housatonic Lodge" MT. and Mrs. Finney ST. will spend the month of, August in our midst.
 Mrs. Snibby and daughter of Brooklyn, N. Y. arrived for a months stay at the Rectory, where they spent last season.
 MT. Squires and MI. Newkirk from New York spent the weekend with their families at the Flock cottage, Cor as the boys have recently named it "the Spicebox" for there in resides the neighborhood pet cat, "Cinna- mon" by name).
 There was nothing special going on Saturday evening, either at the Inn, or Club House, most of the cottagers being taken up by their own weekend guests, though there was an impromptu dance at the Pine Grove Stations-being lighted by lanterns and the floor we'll sprinkled with corn meal, it seemed q very fitting place for dancing, and a gen orally good time, as the music from the Victrola waited through the air, many a car enroute to Falls Village, stopped to find out whither the sound came, and one carload, seemed anxious to join in, but as it was quite a family affair where the children were learning to dance too, outside visitors were not solicited.
 MT. Burress who has been a guest at the Cedars for several days, and who with MT. Becker so graciously assisted in song at one of our Sun day services, will spend a few days with the Barrett-Singleton family at ' Twin Lakes before his return to the city.
 I MT. and Mrs. Barrett gave a party at their cottage last Tuesday after noon, swimming was the first sport
 on the program, which was much
 enjoyed and lent great zest to the appetizing supper in waiting. Cards were the next, on for the evening , to be followed by dancing, but as ! Professors Becker and Burress, started some old time songs, ren, dering them with much feeling, the - interest was so great, that settling down to cards seemed quite toe
 prosy, and later the music drifteo into the dance, so it was voted to gc ''on with the dance" and let joy be
 unconfined.
 Among the guests were Mrs Garrison and the Beckers of the
 Cedars, Mrs. Crane of the Cattails
 Miss Regina Adams of Canaan witE
 her father, MT. Adams, who made 1 made up with the Hostess's and 5 Hosts a very jolly crowd.

 Frank deWitt-always so ready tc help-always with a smile on his face. For many years his cheery
 whistle, and the bark of his faithfu
 dog Dash have been the first sounds
 of the early mrning, to remind
 people of the Grove that it was time
 to be "up and doing" and it is witf sadder ed hearts that we welcome
 Franks devoted help mate as she
 almost daily comes among us bringing something especially good from her garden, planted and cared
 for by her own hands. God bless hel
 as she so cheerfully carries on the
 work that Frank left to her keeping
