The Gospel of the Pyramids read by Virginia
Steer was of much interest. Sarah Miller
read a hospital story, - also wished to hear of a
cook, - after which we adjourned to meet with
Sallie R. Janney, Sept. 2nd, 1915.

Eliz. C. Davis, Sec’y protem

716th mtg. Brooke Meadow 9-2-1915

The afternoon of 9-2-1915 found us assembled
at the interesting old home of John H. and
Sallie R. Janney. Our guests were Cath. H.
Janney, Ethel H. Janney, Eliz. Hogg, Mary A.
Gilpin, Beatrix Rumford, Edith B. Farquhar,
Roberta Allen, Florence M. Bentley, M. Eliz. Moore,
and a bevy of young people who waited on the
various tea tables most assiduously.

Alice Tyson’s ? excellent minutes of the
preceding meeting were enjoyed by us
all. The sentiment of the day was as
follows: “Far out of sight
While Sorrow still unfolds us,
Lies the fair country
Where our hearts abide;
And of its joys is naught
More wondrous told us,
Than these few words,
We shall be satisfied.”

Cath. Janney gave most helpful hints
about the planting of fall flowers, - “For hyacinths
at Christmas put some in pots now, - for early
spring blossoms plant in the ground during Sept
and Oct., hyacinths, tulips, crocuses, jonquils, and
daffodils. If these are not easily obtainable
the peony and iris have been so developed
they are now among our most attractive flowers.
The former should be planted at once
4 in. deep, in rich soil. The iris, frequently
called flag, is one of the best plants for borders
or long beds, and it has been so cultivated as
to have many shades from white, brown, and
blue, to light yellow and various combinations
