August 1911

Our Society did not meet this month.
There were many reasons why it suited no
one to have the meeting so it was omitted.

Riverside

Sept 8^th 1911

We met at the usual hour for a
September meeting, near midday. Several
families were absent owing to the illness of
our oldest member Dr. Kirk.

The minutes were read and approved.
1st Reader of selected articles, Sarah Kirk
was absent 2^nd Reader, Mary Magruder, read
"The lay of the ancient egg" showing the journey
of the egg from the nest to the breakfast
table by which time it had passed through
so many hands and been in so many conveyances
and spent some time in cold storage so
that the consumer says "I am the poor devil
who ate the egg, I got Ptomaine Poisoning".
2^nd Geraniums in winter by Eben E. Rexford.
He praises the recently introduced geraniums
with their wide petals and says
anyone can raise them who can give
them good soil, water enough to keep it
always moist at the roots, a sunny
location and freedom from frost. He says
be sure to get plants for winter which have
not bloomed in Summer. Volunteer, Mary
Stabler read waterinf plants to keep
them from freezing.
