Doar Sisters of the Soctal Corner: I ‘'wish you all a merry Christmas and 2. happy New Year to follow. 1 trust we may all find it a pleasure to give to those, wWho meed encouragement and cheer, Who perhaps ave silently suffering to the knowledge of many outsiders. There has been so' many ‘good letters on’ Christmas thoughts, which are helpful o’ us, especially in the Cormer, that I will Tot further continue the subject, but give place to another topic. Undoubtedly all sisters and readers of this. page ‘Were ‘interested, in the numer- ous items ‘concerning ‘the Tecent wisit of | Marshal Foch to this® country, ‘but how many had the opportunity to see the great general, while he was the guest'of our nation or state? However, I count it a great privilege, that I, for one, among many thousands did ‘see this Honored and-noted Frenchman the day he was in Hartford. S Having read the program planned by the city officials, pertaining’to ths mar- shal's visit, I also planned where I might locate to get best advantages for seeing him as near to &5 possible. I went to the capitol grounds, just about 12 o'clock noon ,on Dec. 13 where I found a large number of people and many school chil- dren. ‘About one hundred disabled ex- soldiers were on 2 platform erected for them. Colt's band was playing military and patriotic airs. ‘On the capitol build- Ing Was ‘flying the large French flag, as also ‘was’ the banner of America. About 10 minutes past 12 o'clock the Waiting throng in the various parts of the city were notified by the salutes, fired from the grounds of the state armory, that the' expected special train had ar- rived. In only a few minutes more we saw the advance guard and escorts, the fne touring auto in’ which Marshal Foch, Was an’occupant. He was a conspicuous figure, as he passed along, though not a large man. He wore a blue coat, & very becoming cap with straight visor, with red crown, crossed by gilt cord. The mui- titude of people cheered him as he nass- ed by and in goprectation, he smiled, and bowed alternately to either side of the way. At the capitol entrance the mar- shal was" received by Governor Lake, in behalf of the state of Comnecticut, Who then entéred the car, and sat beside the, visitor. * Théy proceeded to the old city hall, where a welcome was cxtended by the mayor, in behalf of Hartford. I had another opportunity of seefng Marshal Foch and his party as they alighted from their cars at the union railroad station and entered the depot, Where they soon boarded ‘their’ waiting train. Again, as I stood watching the departing train as it slowly moved out, on the rear plat- form of the last car, there stood 'the marshal, Ferdinand Foch, his hat In hand, bidding the last adieu to many, Who had honored his presence of a short half hour as a welcome guest to Hart- VISITING GIRLHOOD FRIENDS. one of my girlhood friends and I started for Willimantic, a trip that had Jong been contemplated.

Many a.time I have seen her stop and look -intently in one direction as if e becting to see someone whom she knew, and then resume her tramp again always in a hurfy, as if-she had to mest some- one at the end of her tramp. She was 2lways hunting for what she never could | find. Finally her steps grew slow and en we w her no more, and her long search was ended. I suppese those who have no romance or senti- ment in thelr souls would call her fool- ish to allow such a thing to turn her brain, but as T look at it now it seems a pitif=! and tragle story though in those days 1 looked at her as a strange and grétesque creature. & Persis: I can oblige you With & story of a haunted house which used to be on the road leading from Canterbury Green to Brooklyn, just close to the green.
