be anOt h er good
time to have chat
with you. There are
still small groups getting to-
gether for bridge and canasta
and when ask about them,
the answer is always the same

will have to be about things
in general. This coming week
will be so full of family gath
erings, girls and boys home
from college and family circles
complete again, that perhaps
there will be lots to tell about
another week. It is not a prom
Use but rather a hope, on my
part.
/ did join a group Saturday
afternoon who went out to
Sunnybrae to be the guests Of
Mrs. w. Henry Elfreth. Dur
ing the time there we looked
at the wedding pictures Of Mr..
and Mrs. G. Malcolm Laws,
whose lovely wedding took
place in June. Mr.. and Mrs.
Laws were spending the week
end at home and it was good
to see them and their pic
lures, too. They are living in
Haverford and Mr.. Laws con-
tinues his teaching at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. We
also saw the new trailer, the
possession of the Misses Lille
and Sue Allen, who will be
going south with it for the cold
weather. There will be com
fort deluxe in that home on
wheels.
1t was interesting to hear of
the plans of Mr.. and Mrs. Craig
Robertson. Mrs. Robertson,
you will remember, was the
former Miss Adele Warren.
Today they are leaving their
home in Kew Gardens, L. l.,
for Michigan to visit with
Craig's family there before
they head south for Texas. He
has lately been given the COM
mission of second lieutenant in
the Air Force and will study
for a year down there, spend
ing six months in Waco and
six months in Oklahoma City.
1t is possible that Adele will
do some travelling during the
time in the west and in Mexico.
The twelve months will seem
long to Adelle's mother, Mrs.
William H. Warren, but the
time will pass quickly to them
as they see so much that is
new and interesting.
Mrs. Helen Boone Deputy
was in Philadelphia last week
and while away attended the
reunion of her class of Phil
adelphia High School, now the
William Penn School. Mrs.
Deputy was in the commercial
section of the class of one hun
dred and fifty and the surpris-
ing number of seventy were on
hand for the reunion and din
ner at the New Century Club.
These affairs are always en-
1oyable because in many cases
they are the only times that
friends get together during
the year. Mrs. Deputy never
misses her reunion.
Mrs. James Lippert and her
able committee are very busy
these days getting the hospital
cart equipped with Christmas
things. Most Of them are in
the making stage but very soon
now there will be many bright
and CHEEKY things for sale,
some useful, some ornamental,
some for the joy Of children.

many years. Neighbors and
friends will vie with each
other to make this anniversary
happy occasion and we'll they
might, for the fiftieth celebra-
tion of such a happy union, is
certainly the time for the best.
Before another issue of this
paper you will have been Civ
en- another time for thanks
giving. hope there is not one
who has waited until the day
to give thanks. Every day
there should be a time given
over for just that purpose. We,
living in the United States,
have so many things to be
thankful for, that one day is
not enough time; we need the
whole year. In this plenteous
land there is such a variety of
food for every appetite, there
is clothing, in plenty, to keep
our bodies warm, there is
shelter of sorts for everyone.
What else do we need? We
need intelligent minds, grateful
hearts and benevolent souls to
return thanks for these neces-
stiles for every day living. We
need proper attitudes toward
others, gratitude for health and
strength, the gift of getting
along with neighbors, and a
greater capacity for express
sion to the Giver of all good
gifts for all that we are and
b ave. Acknowledge these
things on Thanksgiving Day.
Of course, but keep on doing
the same throughout another
yeaR We are all so blessed.
A happy Thanksgiving for each
Of you.
Faithfully yours,
