Thursday of last week we at
tended a luncheon for the Home
makers Club at the home of Mrs.
Lewis Weller of Beallsville. At
the meeting which followed, Mrs.
Clagett Hilton, isis" Upton, and
Steamboat Fulton" ESQ dubbed
by members of the short course)
gave reports of the week they
spent at Maryland University this
summer attending the Short
Course for Women-Ill tell you
they did not miss trick-such
entertaining reports!
Miss Sally Brown was there
you know you recently saw her
picture in THE SENTINEL--the cap
ton said she was aged 83-we do
not belive it! She is making the
loveliest luncheon sets of the feed
sacks, that now come in such
delectable shades-she crochets an
edge-so beautifully.
There was also present Mrs.
Willard, she is a few years
younger than "Miss Sally" but
she too, is a past president of the
club, we were told. She has given
US many bits of interesting data
about this section of the county
so rich in early history. We just
had a grand time, and finished the
day by going to dinner with the
Tiptons. They have two boys and
two girls, all very much interested
in All Club work.
Which reminds US that of the
100000 that our Montgomery
All boys won at the State Fair
this month, about one-fourth of it
went to the Fry brothers of Lay
louisville. ED" won the high
honors on the Dairy Judging
team, for the second year. He
was chieftain for the countrywide
All boys and girls campfire, held
Friday evening on the hillside
lawn at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene Casey on the Cath
ersburg Rockville Road.
Imagine 300 young boys and
girls-and few shivering grown
sitting on blankets around
this fire-the dark velvet of the
sky-the stars so bright and
twinkly, the moon hanging in
front of us-the ribbon of road,
below US on one side-marked by
the lights of rapidly moving cars
ION the other side, an occasional
train wound leisurely along the
countryside neither close enough
to disturb the meeting, but adding
much to the picture.
We sat and gazed at the moon
NOT yet quite full-the imam"
seemed to be staring, not so much
at us, but down at something we
could not see-he looked much dis
mayed-and coming home, when
we turned on the car radio and
heard how England was, right
then, experiencing her severest
air raid-we realized that high up
as he was, he could probably see
both scenes-happy children in
America, singing songs, doing
amusing stunts4-and on the other
side he could perhaps, get a
glimpse of England.
We feel that Mr.. and Mrs.
Casey are doing a wonderful
thing for the young folks, when
they entertain them each year so
graciousiy. How did we get there,
you may ask-well, tho we have
no children we have lots of grand
children (that thought came from
a neighbor) and we love to fol-
low their activities.
And then on Saturday we took
our small neighbors, Nance and
Sonny and Pete the Chesapeake,
to the Olney Horse Show-you
know that is about the nearest
thing we have to County Fair.
The prettiest animal we saw there
was Eli Leishear's dappled gray
stallion-it's coat was so polished
that the white spots looked like
stars!
Walking around, we came upon
Mrs. Elizabeth Blowers, who is in
her ninetieth year-she goes to
the show every year-sits in the
car, and so much enjoys having
her friends come speak to her.
The man of the house had told
