large contracts for public buildings, he is Director
of the Md. Art Inst. Despite his 62 yrs. and
gray hairs he has the heart of a boy and says he
intends to be a sculptor someday. Mural
paintings seem to be his specialty, but such
artistic talent would permit fame in almost
any line of similar work, we believe.

Since 1882 he has had many honors bestowed
by Academies and Expositions, and he excels
in historical pictures. M. B. T. read some
extracts from a letter written several years since
by her cousin Edith N. Brubaker, describing one of
her many trips to Germany, then a land of peace
and beauty.

After a pleasant social we adjourned
to “Homewood” 7-1-1915. Mary Bentley Thomas, Sec’y.

Homewood. 7-1-1915

The three sisters, Elma P. Chandlee, Annie
M. Chandlee and Hallie J. Bentley, entertained
the Asso. for the first time at Homewood
on the afternoon of 7-1-1915.

Guests were Elizabeth Iddings, Mrs. Bradley,
Helen, Harriet, Helen B. and Lucy K. Lea, Mary
Muncaster, Margaret S. Jones, Fanny L. Dickerson,
Mary B. Hutton, Mary A. Gilpin and Florence
M. Bentley. The sentiment given by Elma
P. Chandlee, was from Chas. Kingsley, - “Thank
God every morning when you get up that you
have something to do that must be done
whether you like it or not. Proceed to do your
best and being forced to work will breed in
you temperance, self-control, diligence, strength of
will, and a hundred virtues the idle never know.”

E. P. C. ‘s second selection was a bright little
poem on “Old Fashioned Things,” –

“There’s a charm about old-fashioned things
Grandmother’s spinning wheel, her Paisley shawl,
Her candle molds, her quaint old-fashioned rings.
The tall old clock that used to guard the hall
And we forget amid our new facilities
That Grandma, in her day, was up to date
