He lived very close to nature almost
n hermit at times, andhis health ac-
counted for some of his idiosyncraS-
les.
an winter he found a new annual
pleasure in the glaze and Leaf crys-
tails, the purple vap"r, and lndlso
shadows, the walks over frozen rivers
and marshes. again with poet
rapture. he welcomed the first signs
of spring, in the delicate coloring OF
earth, the clear ooZinS sap from the
nlaples. and the tortoise moving IN
the bitches, there would he proclaim
Here is my Italy-My heaven, my
New England"
At the roll call all members re-
sponded with some incident peculiar
w OF value in the life of Thoreau.
Mrs. Sargent read In Thoreau S
Country" Mrs. Patton, q member OF
the class who is passing the winter in
the south sent each member OF the
class a fruit ball of the weet gum or
LIQUID amber. The leaves of this tree
suggest the sugar maple. The pecu-
liar growth of the tree takes on rep
lillian shapes.
Refreshments were served by the
hostess which added to the pleasure
of the afternoon. One new member
was added to the class. January

The class is asking that all may
realize the importance of bird life
and do all in their power to protect
them.
Edward How Forbush. Massachu-
sets state Ornithologist writes
"The summer and fall were so re-
markably dry that many fruits and
seeds failed to develop and there is
n widespread dearth Of food for birds
in the north The only mocking
bird reported in Maine is the one that
seems to be wintering here in Win
throp.
