/ been an unusually large attendance
at the meetings this year. One new
feature was putting on a most sue
cessful pageant under the direction
of the board. With Mrs. Danforth
at the head and with a fine corps of
officials the year has been one of
! much accomplishment along several
lines of worthwhile work.

be Field Day to be held in Nor
ridgewock at the home of Mrs, Hem
rietta d. Weed who will be assisted
by Mrs. Blanche E. Folsem and Mrs.
Grace P. Smith. all of whom are res

is uncertain. The cordial hospitality
or Miss Weston and her associate
hostesses added much to the pleasure
OF the annual meeting for 1926.
