At 3:30 P.M., 6th mo. 28th, 1927 Margaret Bancroft called the
840th meeting to order at Sharon Cottage, the home of Mary Robison, daughter
of our hostess Hallie Bentley.

The minutes of the last meeting at this place were read and
the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

Next meeting place "Plainfield" at the regular time - the

"The inner side of every cloud
Is bright and shining,
I therefore turn my clouds about
And always wear them inside out
To show the lining."

Hallie Bentley's contribution was from "Sketches from Cotton
Lands" - the naming of the twine resulting in the selection of the names of
"Neuralgy" and "Homicide". Question. Was the first ice-cream really
made in Sandy Spring seventy-five years ago? No. The Fussell Ice Cream was
the first known Commercial Ice Cream.

Helen Hallowell quoted "Andy Gump" who preferred the old
fashioned novels, comparing the modern ones to a Glue Factory.

Mrs. Edsel read fro Alice Tyson of the old Friends Meeting
House at Ellicott City, which is now being re-modeled and made into a dwelling house.

Mariana Miller read from the old minutes of meetings held at
"Bloomfield", "The Cedars", and "Avalon," in 1868.

Estelle Moore gave a very old poem "Be not the first" to
criticise or condemn. Let us speak well of our brother or speak not of him
at all." Question. Must I put lightning-rods on my house? Most have none.

Rachel Thom read for Emily Massey - The Aims of Club Women
being quoted from Mary Sherman, President of the General Federation of
