Then came the introduction: In the group was a Wandering Jew, who did not urge us to buy, as she carried nothing cheap. In a quiet corner sat Nokomis, who had left off her war paint and feathers to attend this peaceful powwow. Then 1 met a Maine Lover who has seerued wiling since then to share her affections with those from the Nutmeg State. Later as we listened to the inci- dents of home Iife of another memter we did not wonder that she was Mar- ried and Happy; and I learned she was the first, a short time before, to start these little gatherings that have grown to such proportions. A bright Azalea was much admired, and Aunt Mehitable and Aunty No. 1 vied with each other in good talks te the assembled nieces. Polly Wintergreen, who has recently passed to the life beyond, was with us but Theoda, Roxanna Wince and Tidy Addly were unable to be present, and one other who perhaps could not get Ready. 1t was about this time it was decid- ed to call this little band (of less than twenty) Ciub No. 1. The members in- creased so rapidly that soon a larger place was needed, so the W, C. T. U. rooms were engaged.

Dear Social Corner Siste How mueh I enjoyed the birthday meeting of March 12th with Club No. 1. I thank Aunty No. 1 and Theoda and their helpers for the zood time we had; also The Bulletin for the ice cream—it was delicious. When we entered long tables were toaded with good things, and the Sis- ters were 'seated each side of table. There were a good many who could not get to the table. 1t was good to see so many faces T knew; and such a welcome as they gave u: ‘We missed Polly Wintergreen, foot; also Married and Happy, Addly, Aunt Jerusha, Peggy An others.
