pendants; a life size bust of Lin
coln, kindly loaned by Dr. Truno-

with pictures ot Washington, Jeff

triotic. During the three-piece re
freshment hour a charming little
musical and literary program waa
renaered, to which the following
ladies, each one at her best, con
tributed: Mesdames Gibbs, F rank
