Edith Hallowell read a letter from Mary
Coffin Brooke giving a graphic acct. of the raising

Elma P. Chandlee gave two humorous selections,
the first of how a Grand Duke was mistaken by
a cook for her sweetheart, receiving a huge sandwich of

flowers, “Gladiola”, “Heliotrope” and “Artifishul”, she said.

Pattie T. Farquhar’s selection assured us
that “whoever thinks of peace, and believes it

But the contrary is equally true, for he who
nobly and generously enjoys life will spread
