membership. She sent her love to all and said she would like to come to a
meeting.

Question. Can asparagus roots be moved in the fall? Yes, in August.

Amy Hutton. "A child's Choice" and a poem "In the Forest"

Clara Moore, "Creation of Woman" a Hindu Legend. She is
made of everything both good and bad - but proved unstisfactory to man. She
also read a poem from the Alexandria Gazette.

"Blessings on thee, little dame, bare of neck and
knees the same;

With all my heart I give thee joy,

(Apologies to Whittier.)
