Current Events. Mar. 23, 1926.

The last meeting of the Current Events Department, Mrs. Charles H. Williams Chairman, was held at the Unitarian Parish House, March twenty third. This was an open meeting at which Mrs. Rees, presided, first introducing Miss Ruth Page Sweet, who spoke for ten minutes on "Volunteer Service" for the Y. W. C. A., and then presenting the speaker for the afternoon, Mrs. Grace Morrison Poole, former President of the State Federation. Mrs. Poole's subject was "Just Suppose", and underneath the spicy sauce was some very solid food for thought. Just suppose that our family life came first, making our home a more attractive living place for our children. Just suppose that we attended our Club meetings determined to find enjoyment, that we refrained from destructive criticism, that we promoted socialbility by speaking to the member at our right, at our left, in front of us and behind us;

that we considered voting a duty, and the support of chucrches and welfare work a necessity. Just suppose that we each construct a Memory House, filling the rooms carefully, a Home room, a Book room, a Friendship room, a room of Pleasant Times. When old age comes, it would be good to have a Memory House to dwell in, that would enable us to enjoy the sunset. Tea was served at the Loring-Greenough House. Glass candelabra with white and yellow candles around lavish branches of forsythia made the tables lovely, and the pourers were Mrs. L. Reginald Chandler, Mrs. Malcom Rees, Mrs. George W. Wheelwright, and Miss Mary M. Whitcomb.

Respectfully submitted, Lucy E. Henderson, Rec. Sec.
