Della Brooke
July 11th 1922.

Owing to the Annual meeting of the Social
Service League coming on the first Tuesday
in June and holding its sessions this year
at Sandy Spring, the Horticultural was held
the following day at Invercauld.

That being the regular day for a quarterly
meeting of the Savings Institution, neither
Pres. or Vice Pres. was on hand to call us
together at 4.15 P.M.--, as Clarence R. Gilpin
presided until their arrival. Minutes of
previous meeting read and adopted.

Both of the appointed readers were absent.
Corrie M. Brooke as a substitute for
Sarah E. Kirk, said she had nothing
Horticultural for us, but read from the
Atlantic Monthly entitled "Telephone, Tell A
Fib," which gave a clever representation
of a conversation often held over the
phone & that which takes place when the
receiver is closed.

Dr. Nichols, the other reader, was unexpectedly
detained at home by sickness
first before time for the meeting, so could
not furnish a reading or some one in his place.
