MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTs
BIZ ELSIE WHITE HAINEs :

We agree perfectly with Mrs.
Lucy Barnsley of Rockville when
she says "you know we never hear
of many of the fine things done
by the teachers in our schools un-
less we dig down.. In letter to
the writer Mrs. Barnsley tells of a
trip West, for which she left last
week and promises to write us her
impressions of Washington State.
After week in Detroit with her
son, Capt. Cullum Barnsley and
his wife, Fay, she is going on to
/ spend a month at Yakima, Wash.
with Ted and his wife, and home
by way of Calf. Enthusiastically
she ends her letter thus, "Wel!,
old dear, don't stop your Side
lights this summer for l will be
able to read the Sentinel in va
kima, Detroit and California for
the paper goes to every home I
will visitw
Did we ever tell you that the
Sentinel also went to the San
Francisco World Farley? Mr.. and
Mns, Carlton Savage, who went
out from the State Department,
"just could not be without their
hometown paper for five weeks"
they said, not dreaming the con-
ference would last eight weeks.
But we digress.
Mrs. Barnsley was not thinking
Of her own marvellous contribution
t. the education of the young of
the county when she spoke of the
"fine things done by teachers,
but of Mrs. Carey Kingdom for
merly Hattie Clagett, native of
Rockville who has retired after
teaching 80 years, one Of the best
loved and Mrs. Barnsley adds zone
Of the best teachers in the county"
We have mentioned before in

scum in which there are curios Of
many descriptions weapons, raw
materials, silks, cottons, petrified
woods, minerals thousands of
things collected over a period of
twenty years. The P. T. A. has
built a case to house the collect
ion in the upper hall of the elem
entary school. This is the largest
collection of it's kind in the county
and Mrs. Barnsley thinks there is
not one in any county in the State
as large. We asked Mrs. Kingdom
what she considered the most in

County President At
State Homemaker Meet

The Homemakers of the county,
BIT strong, were represented at
the State Council in Baltimore
last week by the president of the
County Council, Mrs. Donald f.
Roberts. Mrs. Roberts reported a
very active membership in the 25
clubs which make up the council.
She also reports that our four
new clubs represented more than
fourth of the whole state in
crease in membership. They are
Falkland, the two Garrett Park
Clubs and the one at Potomac
Valley Gardens.
Particular interest was shown
in the Christmas bazaars held in
Bethesda, Silver Spring and Rock
vile which netted profit Of
81, TAO to the Homemakers who
contributed TO them. The bazaars
are to be continued this year, and
local women are learning new
handicrafts in anticipation.
A summary Of the reports Of
other counties will be given by
Mrs. Roberts at a meeting of the
Board Of Managers on June Is at
the Home Demonstration office in
Rockville. The meeting will be for
the purpose of planning the pro-
gram for 1916. After the business
is completed Miss Turner will

Neighborhood Club
Holds Meeting

Natures Draperies" were dis
cussed in a most interesting and
instructive way by Mrs. Lawson
King at the Neighborhood Garden
Club which met at the home of
Mrs. Charles Becraft in Washing
ton Grove last Wednesday with
Mrs. Norman Jacobs, Mrs. Clar-
cnce Becraft and Miss Hazel Be-
craft assisting .hostesses at the
luncheon served % members and s
guests. In the selection of vines
for use in the garden one must
consider, according to Mrs. King
what they are wanted for, a Bos-
ton or English Ivy to be chosen
if wall is to be covered and the
Dutchman's Pipe, the Trumpet
vine or the Morning Glory to be
used to cover an eyesore or to
screen an out door nook. The
much disliked honey suckle was
mentioned as one of Natures fra
grant wild vines in Maryland.
One important point to remem-
be about vines is the less they
are pruned, the more graceful
they will be. Mrs. King illustrat-
ed her talk with a number of diff,
ferent vine specimens.
