For her sentiment, Isabel read Proverbs 16-32. Coz. Lena quoted
a motto wich Mr. Vandenburg has on his desk, “This too shall pass away”.

Coz. Lil, Mariana Miller, and Dr. Crum nothing.

Ethel Thomas read some recipes from an old cook book which made
us realize some of the housekeeping duties we escape in this packaged
age.

Helen Hallowell read her father’s letter telling of the Sandy
Spring “Skirmish” of the Civil War. The letter was written to his
brother in Baltimore 10-13-64, and was most entertaining.

Margaret Jones had Betty read her poem, “The vision”. She then
asked who was the last member of the Meeting to wear “Plain clothes”. This
brought out memories and delightful discussion, Esther Wetherald seems
to have been the last one.

Thelma Anderson read a sweet little poem, “The lost penny”.

Sylvia Woodward read a “Perfect Squelch”, and asked what will
clean Aluminum Pewter, any of the cleaning powders in an aluminum pan.

Elsie Stabler read a story of a flight in the wind, a story
from which we may draw a lesson. It told of the “Tolerance” or Give
and Take” which is built into the wings of a plane in order to withstand
the stress of wind. She also read a beautiful prayer.

Dorothy Wetherald who just got in from Philadelphia had nothing.

Betty Grey read a good article from “this Week Magazine,
“What Happened to Homer.”

Rose Gilpin said Elza sent a report of the Fancy Table for the
Hospital Supper of last year. There were 1,115 articles sent in, with
285 left over. There were 232 aprons with 13 left. The colored
“Homemakers” sent in nice contributions. The supper is coming up again
and everyone was urged to keep the Fancy Table in mind. Cox. Rose
also read an article on Pea Fowls.

Helen Moore, nothing.

Fanny Iddings read the chapter on the Moravians from a book
about the Pennsylvania Ditch.

Deb. read from ”The Tudor Wench”, it is in the Community library
but has been little used. It is a fascinating story of Elizabeth from
child to Queen.

Rose Hutton read of the raccoon, a clever critter who likes
god food, and usually gets pretty much what he wants.

Rebecca Small, from The Reader’s Digest, “Most people are tired”.
