side gives not only courage but strength.

Albina O. Stabler had brought a volume of
James Whitcombe Riley's and in a few lines
carried us in his inevitable manner, from
keen fun and humor to the sweetest and most
tender sentiment.

Ellen Farquhar had quite a budget of good
things, the principle one, an article upon the
fascination of New York and of how her
children loved her and remain true to her no
matter how far they may roam.

Annie E. Gilpin gave us several amusing
anecdotes and some beautiful and helpful
verses by Cecelia Thaxter entitled "Courage".

Elizabeth G. Thomas read a story which gave
the deeper meaning to the familiar letters O.H.M.S.
and by means of the petty trials of a husband
and wife and a mutual awakening to a
truer appreciation of their importance, taught
how even trivial work has its own dignity
when performed as "On His Majesty's Service".

Sarah T. Stabler contributed an article upon
the Summer Schools of Manhatten, which was
listened to with great interest. The methods of
teaching employed, are unique, but have
proved very successful and have brought
brightness into the otherwise colorless existence
