After a delicious luncheon at The Anchorage the

The minutes of the last meeting at this place were

peonies, Elza Thomas told of moving some from Rose Gilpin's, and
reported they looked very flourishing.

-------------------------------------------

Sentiment of the Hosstess-was a very beautiful poem written by
her father, Allan Farquhar, entitled, "Where is my home". A
copy is filed with the minutes. Ethel then called our
attention to the "Pie Duck," which she had gotten through a
Radio program. She asked if she should work around her tulips,
and was advised to do so. She also asked advise about replacing
some planting around the foundation of the hosue where something
has died out. She received several suggestions.

Elza Thomas read, "To the future without fear".
She asked if anyone had successfully painted awnings. No one
had but there is a special paint put out by reliable houses, the
directions for the use being on the can.

Esther Stabler read from the March Readers Digest
a poem, "To the Wayfarer", copies of which are fastened to the trees
in the Portugese forest.

Helen Hallowell read an alledged poem from Harper's,
which brought out a good deal of discussion, but little approval.

Deb. Wilson read from a facinating book, "My Indian
family", being the story of an American woman, living in India,
and her efforts, to help a very poor servant.

Mariana Miller read from, "The Sandy Spring Outlet",
a newspaper published in 1897; a poem by Fanny Iddings, "The
Farmer's Wife", another poem, and some delightful adds.

Bertha Crum read from Good Housekeeping Magazine
an article on the use of herbs. No one could answer her questions
to the use of selfrising flour for light bread.

Anne Bussler read Odgen Nash's, "Is Spring a good
thing", and told us Scotch spoons are again on the market.

Cousin Sarah Adams told us Pres. Truman will get
his last pay check signed H.B. Smith. This particular Smith
is a woman, and has signed the pay chekcs of the Presidents for
many years. The manner in which a President of the United States
is paid is a good example of Governmental Red Tape.

Several people had heard of the Pink Lily of the Valley which
Cousin Sarah Asked about, but none had ever seen it.

Sarah Buchanan read a little of the background of
"January Thaw", Bellamy Partridge's new book.

Margaret Bancroft told a Coolidge Anticdote.

Mary Hutton read a child's discription of his anatomy.
