Several new Presidents rode on horseback
to the Capitol, Jefferson from two accounts
seems to have both walked and ridden,
perhaps he had such a slow hackney he
really went in a walk.

McKinley’s 2nd inauguration was the
most imposing up to that date, 3500
persons being in the procession, Rosevelt’s
was still larger, Taft’s more yet, and Wilson’s
greatest of all.

Rebecca T. Stabler asked if anyone knew
of a home for a colored boy, and Estelle T.
Moore told of a very neglected child who sh’ld
be sent of a “Home with a Capital H”, unless
we prefer to deal with a criminal later.

Sarah E. Kirk’s bright little paragraph was
entitled, “When life was simple and sincere,
when people were happier than now and
did not make so much money.” There
were only 2 fancy desserts, “Float” and “Tarts”,
“now supplanted by ice cream, meringues,
crackers and rotten cheese”. We suppose
the former was made of White of egg
beaten very light and placed on top of a
custard. We once saw it prepared some
years since by being combined with enough
jelly to give color & flavor, then dropped in
boiling milk by the spoonful. As soon
as it stiffened it was arranged on a nice
custard in a large glass bowl. We never
tasted the dainty before nor have seen it
again to this day.

Cornelia H. Bentley brought us the true
story of “Casablanca”. The original was the
son of a French Admir’l, who had told his
boy not to leave the ship until his
father gave permission. The latter was
slain and the child lost his life by
his obedience. Mrs. Hemans was the author
who made a poem out of the pitiful sacrifice,
the title meaning, “a white soul”.
The captain of the vessel was named
