Returning to Cnlifornin. Last .Saturday noon Mr. and Mrs.

Charles DociUur and three boys and Albert Docatur started back in thcir Overland car on the "long, long trail" to California. They arrived here from California on July 13, having spont a nionth in coming, .and thcy expect it will take them as long to return. If thoy should encounter snowstorms in Colorado, as is likely at the time thoy reach there, it may take longer. Thoy left for their over­land trip from the home of Mrs. De­catur's parents in Groton. They had enjoyed thcir stay here .immensely .and left in the best of spirits with pleasant niomorios to -take back to thc Pacific coast. Thc car had been overhauled for thc trip and Charles Decatur had built a most ingenious kitchenette to carry on the car for supplies. They also carried a com­plete camping outllt for enjoying camping on the way. They planned to stop Saturday night in Springfleld with the hrothors. Bort and Henry Decatur. In coming thcy took thc southern routo, and in returning thoy took a more northern route, planning to stop oft at .Niagara Falls and other places of intorost. The car bore a California pennant and a sign "Co.ist to coast."

T'njnst Tariff. Among the now industries to be

t.aken care of by thc new p^-otoctivo t.arlft will be a duty of $25 a ton on potash. AVhile we boliove as over in protection to ' American industries where they are of sufflcient v.aliic and amount to supply the people, we are unable to see thc wisdom of protect­ing nn industry that has no^er been able to supply pota.sh enough for a kitchen garden since' the shot was flred "heard around the world." and that is . long enough time for it to get onto Its fcot and learn to creep. Dur­ing the world war no potash came to this country. Where, oh %vhcre was the American pota-sh industry during those years when Amorlcan potn.sh had no competition? It looks very much like a boost in the direction of thc high cost of living, and thc j>ro-duccr and tho consumer of food would pay the duty Into the Jaws of a i«6n6I»oly.

We do not want free potash or free fertilizers ot nny kind unloss it will benefit thc American people. If add­ing twenty-five dollars per ton to the already extremely high cost ot fer­tilizers will tend to cheapen food let lis have It Mr. Congress without de­lay.

the most disastrous train wrecks in the vicinity of l.owoll in many ye.ars occurred at a point opposite tho Ab­bot mills in Forge Village, in tho town of Wostford. whon a big car with two engines and a local freight train wero derailed and two mombors of tho crow killed.

Thc freight train was m.ado up of fifty-seven cars and was on its way from Salem tn South Doorfieid, and it is believed th.at the wreck resviltod from a weakening of the roadbed cavised by the recent honvy rains. "When tho tr.ain was going into Gran­itovilio tho two engines and ono car loft tho track and piled across the rail In thc form of a triangle. Thc night was pitch dark with heavy light­ning and thunder, .and tho rain w.os coming down in sheets.

Belleville scored when Keefe juggled Richard­son's grounder. Cox then flled out to Teehan and thc out look for more runs seemed sniall. Rusk developed a- wild streak and passed the noxt two batters, forcing In a run. Des-maraiis singled, and two more runs were over. McKenzie then relieved Rusk and the next batter flied to short. In the last half I. Rusk singled and Keefe and Eastman sent out lo'ng flics to right and center fleld, but they were a little too high and the outflelders had time enough to get under them. R.

American Legion, the Boy Scouts and every lndl\-ldual friend of the A.

There was a large contribution ot food that had a ready sale. Other attractions w^re the tortune-toUing by i lrs . Showe, the successful midway, dancing, with music by the Shirley orchestra, refreshments, etc. A pillow cover and a scarf contributed by the Groton boys were raffled oft, the for­mer going to Miss Annie Kelley of Littleton Common, and the latter to Mrs. Louise M. Bray ot Boston. Mrs. Eversole of Groton attended to sup­plying automobiles for the transpor­tation of the soldiers and the auxiliary furnished them entertainnrent.

The ladles' auxiliary are certainly to be complimented for the gratifying outcome ot their plans and efforts. They feel, however, that' without the help of all their kind friends, the support of tho public and the gener­ous patronage enjoyed, the whole at­falr would have resulted much less auccossfully, and wish to thank every­one who gave assistance-to the -ftorthy cause.

^v</^ h e , w i n find the oonfrdr of an Intet=-natlonal. body a •dlfferent^ proposition. Thl», however. Is n o f the main Ideal "The "bending of the 'cbnstlttitlo'n" Is what looks dangerous.

.That expression ougfht to take a po­sition In the class with two historical ' expressions of note, "To hell with the constitution" and "What Is the con­stitution among frionds?" Senator Lodge Is the Idol of the good old' stand-put republicans of thU com­monwealth and the Herald expounds this law and gospel and when In' Its capacity of authorized"" Interpreter of the faith, it thus bdldly advocates •bending the constitution" to beneflt

the party, are we t o understand that to be policy o f . the par ty? , ; , ^ This s e e m s to be a • cross betWeen the anarchist policy' of smashing the constitution and the Soelafist program of orderly amendment by the regularly prescribed procedure.. How can the Herald, after advocating "bending the constitution" to accomplish certain ends that soem desirable, hereafter Consistently pass as an advocate of la-w and order? Perhaps this bending process may mean to. apply only to the elect, while outsiders are to bo held to a .strict Interpretation of the grand old document as of yore. It Is a queer doctrine anyhow. -y-.

Sicily Is practlc.iUy a treolc.is coun­try. In a Journey ot 160 miles ncro.ss the l.sland one cannot observe A single tree that would cut' a 10-Inch board.

Bciulliif: the Constitution. An editorial in the Boston Herald

of August 19 puts up ,a rather radical proposition tor so conservative a jour­nal in a discussion of the appoint­ment of Senator Lodge as a member of the L'nited Statea dcleg.ation to the di-sarmament commission to convene in Washington November 11.

Upholding, as a matter of course, the ntnesa of the appointment, the Herald quotea from the Sprlngfleld RepHbllcan the objections ot the late Senator Georgo P. Hoar In a. some­what similar appointment by Presi­dent McKinley as aet forth In his auto­biography in which Senator Hoar quotes the constitution ns follows;

"No senator or representative shall, during the t ime tor which he was elected, be appointed to any civil ofllce under tho authority of tho United State.s, which shall havo been created, or the emoluments whereof shall h.ave been Increased during such time; and no person holding any offlce under tho United States ahall be a meniber of either hou.se during his continuance In oflflco."-

Furthor along in the editorial tho Herald says "Regardless ot what thc constitution may say on thtr matter we believe It a very great advantage to h.ave senators on such a body, both theoretically nnd practically. After thLs openly voicing contempt for the ancient document itsually held to be .sacred and Insisting on tho need ot senatorial ropreBontntlon the Herald winds np with this astounding propo­sition, "I.«t\us bend the constitution to this need." What do you know about that? W o m a k e no ttlnlm to any ability to correctly Interpret the constitution but -wo think wc do un-' deratand what bondltlg the constitu­tion means.

In view of Senator Lodge's t-ecord as an opponent ot the ratification by the United States of ,tho I>caKu« ot Nations treaty. It " is a question whether ho will be a very popular delegate with the representatives ot the nations who are m e m b e r s of tho leaguo.

Underneath two elms out«pro.tdlng Like a canopy of green.

On an elevated pluiform Men In uniform are seen;

And the leader, raising baton Tn a Qlllck, commanding wav.

Brings a sudden burst ot music As. tbe band be>rins to play.

Powder, rouged and llpsticked charm­ers

Stroll In couples up and- down. Bobbed and eargobbed ae to tresses

And diaphanous of gown. Shrilly chattering nnd giggling.

IFor a fatuous youth hunt they To provide Ico cream und candy

•PThen tho band begins to play. Babes in carrlagc« are .veiling

They'prefcr to be at homc. -Vnd despise perambulating

Where their parents choose to roam. Children of assorted sizes

Race In everybody's way. Starting up an aw-ful racket

When the band begins to play. Portly matrons stop to visit

Through selections soft and low-, .\nd in loudly carrying voices . Tell each other all they know.

Cars continually are 'honking That they want the right ett w-ay

Where humanity is thickest When the band begins to play.

The bower where the ceremony was perfornied w,aa of laurel and ever­green, with tall columns ot golden­rod and bouquets ot hytlrangeas on either side. As tho bridal party en­tered the room thcy were preceded by six young ladles in dainty evening gowns, bearing garlands of Mowers with which they made an aisle for the entrance of the bridal party. The groom and his best man, Lincoln Scott of Melrose, awaited the bridal party at the bow-er of green as thoy [ entered the room lo the strains of the i wedding niarch from "Lohengrin."

To tlic Citizens, ot Groton: Some time ago there appeared in

the local papers an appeal on behalf of the Groton Cornet band for con­tributions to help pay the expenses of the sunimer concerts. A number of persons, both residents and non-resi­dents of Groton, havo responded so generously that the band has boen helped out of a vory precarious finan­cial situation. The members of the b.and are very grateful for this aid. and feel that many of thoso contrib­utors have done more than their pro­portionate share. This w.as not a l im­ited appeal, and wo hopc that, before the .'teaaon Is over, .a subst.antial pro­portion ot the townspeople will have responded. Our expenses have been somewhat greater than we had antici­pated, and further contributions to the expense fund would be greatly .-tp-prcclatod. Small sUms .are especlally acceptable. There is really more sat­isfaction In receiving very amall .amounts from a larger numbor of por­sons than in receiving larger amounts from a few, because the members of the band are more Interested in count­ing its friends than in counting its dollars, and because the burden of supporting this public service is there­by borne more .equitably.

We, tho nieniborn of the band, feel that w e are doing" pretty nearly our .share. Wo ouch give practically tw-o nights euch week in support of the summor concorts, besides spondlng money for instruments, (nstruction, etc. .\nd, in addition, some of the members huvo contributed directly to tho Iinancial support of tho bund. Small oontrilnuions. evon of a fow conts. would Krratly encourage us.

More thun nioney tho band deaircs now niomhci-s. We urge all of the townspeoplo. who can play a b.and instrument to any degree, to join the band ,and utioiid our rehearsals. We earnestly hope that others will take up some bund instrument with the idoa of joiniiiK us. This is the only method by whieh the continued ex­istence of the i.und can be assured. We are greatly encouraged by tho ad­dition of four niembers to our number during the .sea.son. We hope that othera will follow. There ia enough musical talent, actual and potential. In the town of Groton to form an ex­cellent band. Such an Increase In membership would reduce the ex­penses and w-ould give the added s.at-isfactlon of having a team composed of a larger proportlpn of local m e m ­bers.

Tho.sc who oontemplntc helping the hand in either or both ot the ways above mentioned are asked to com­municate with iny of the following members of the finance committee: James P. f-ttch. chairman; Thomaa F. Donahue. Jr.. troas.; George M. Bar­row-s, s e e ; Henry M. Adams. Clarence Hominw-ay and Ronald Dlmock.

the Sandy Pond School association was held Snturday, August 27, in the schoolhouse at tho Willows. The building itself is very beautiful a real work of art. It is of brick, pitlnted n dark red. Ovor the outside door

is tho announcement of tho name of tho institution in clear-cut words, "Sandy Pond School Association" and on either side the dates 1800—1916. The Interior Is a vory attractive room with Its cloan, well-kept walls, large, fino seven-lamp chandelier depending from the center, tho piano In an al­cove and the convenient soat.s all offering satisfaction and promising pleasure. The room was adorned for the spoclal occasion with-festoons of yellow and whito paper and the word '\^oIcomo" on tho front wall. pic­

tures and portraits adorned Its walls, onch having Its own story.

Tho meeting Saturrl.ay w.Vs attondod by a largo audionce. a hundred poopio boing pre.sent. Tho gathering was callod to order with ringing of the old .school bou by the president. Oliver K. Piorco. Tho .spot-i.aV work of con­ducting tho moeting was dono by F. S. Plngry, who welcomed the gathering.

This organization has a member­ship composed ot those who have lived In the district, those who h.tve taught or attended school here and their de­scendants. Mrs. Lucio Richardson, lovingly called "Aunt Lucie" by her large circle of friends, h.as always boen a chief mover in thi.s yearly gathering, working for it in .season and out of season, and this year should feel especially happy In having brought together what by general agreement, seems to have been one of the vory best If not the very best entertainment ever given here.

As a matter of fact the only differ­ence the common than -sees and there­fore cares about is the torm ot service In this respect there can. nevec ba absolute uniformity, but there will always be liturgical services and non-llturglcal. Yet, oven here, some ot the Prot^tant bodies are turning to a regular proscribed form. Still it is well to have this difference, which cannot injure our Christian spirit, as did the old controversies.

My solution soems hopeless, but it is the only l.'i.sting one. Let Christian leaders grow ns meek .as Him who said, "I came not to be ministered unto." I.ot them work not for ' them-selvcs, but for Him. Let them give •way to others in the church. Stop treating tho church .as a closed corpor­at ion in wheh thoy are the only .share­holders. For tho common people who heard Jesus gladly can get together now in Him. Arthur L. Bumpus.

Tho following article w.is t.aken from the Hasten Herald ot August S. Mr Bumpus will be remembered in fown as a formor vicar of St. Andrew's church:

Just a word in addition to the very excellent article by the Rcv. Joseph B. Lyman In your issue of thc 2d inst on Church Unity. Hc suggests that all thc churches could bo brought to­gethor if they would conform to cach other's ways. In a nno Christian spirit, he, as a Congregatlonallst, Is willing to conciliate the Baptists by Installing a baptism tank, and thc Episcopalians by submitting to re-ordinailon at the hands of our bl.shops. And he ap­proaches tho other denominations In the same broad-minded temper.

But tt seems to mc that thc difficulty Is more fundamental. Not halt a dozen .people In the average church know anything about theological matters or caro anything about denominational differences. But all churches arc con­trolled by somo Individual or coterie that does not wish to surrender Its power. Thc rank and fllo ot wor.shlp-pors got together enslljr, gut ,i,p "rulers take counsel together." Out of personal ambition a n d p l q u c sects sep-nrato, ,ind thc cleavage is perpetuated. And thus wo have tho spectacle of snme onc denomination In a town dl-vlrilng, and adding onc moro Strug-idling congregation.

And this Is In miniature thc Condi­tion throughout tho country. Would .Mr. T.yman .submit hU Congregational church to dictation from'somo central bndy that governed tho whole denomi­nation? Such bodies frown on thc closing ot any local church, and the loss of nny property. If two churches of dirrerent dcnomlnaitlons try to amalgamate the presiding elders or whoever rules refuse their assent, and tho plan fall.s. ,

Baseball. At the town park on last Sunday

Ayer's battery wore late on arriving at the grounds and' Marty Donahue and Harold Griffln were the battery until Hubert and Sullivan or-rlTod In time to start the second in­ning. Hubert pitched a flne gtune for the locals, notwithstanding the tact that he had pitched a gamo In LowcU the day before. Sullivan played his same old game as backstop, Green­slade on flrst, "Kitty" -Wheeler on second, Tommy Burrlll at short and. Bulger on third gave Hubert the sup­port he needed. Rafferty w a s In tho line-up In center fleld, wi th Dewey Jn left and Marty in right.

Ayer added another in the fifth and their oppo­nents tied it in the seventh, but Ayer came through in their halt and broko the tie. Thc eighth was Ayer's In­ning when thcy scored three runs, one ot which wa.s a home run by Dewey Downing, Two other features ot the game were a catch of a foul fly by Sullivan out ot the trees, and a barehanded catch by Greenslade of a rather wild throw to flrst, Tho score:

WESTFORD

.^n Interesting . \u to Trip. Will you lake a fireside au lo trip

ot say seventy-flve miles ivith me? This is no bluebook route and being unsung of poets I undertake to praise it. Westward we start. At ler about four milos we come lo the "Groton Ridges," a curious glacial formation, which might be called equally ^?ell "the grooves," for the tops' ot the ridges are even with the sin-rounding conntry and our road goes a long the top of ono wl lh no dip at either end. To the right, just a gl impse can be caught through the trees of Knopp's pond, beyond which is a ridge like the one we have just gone over, whero one may stand and- easily throw a stone, one way into Kjtopp's pond or thc other into Cow pond. Another peculiarity ot Grolon scenery, made by the glaciers ot long ago, the drum-lins, great round hilLs. .should be no­ticed. Soon we pass through the elm-shaded street ot the village, seeing to the west the f.amous Groton School for boys. A mile farther we cross the N.ashua river Just .above a dnm, which gives power for .a papermill. Over the hills we go to Townsend Harbor, where thc only harbor In sight Is the shorn ot a peaceful miUpond. Thc village name Is a relic ot an obsolete use ot thc word harbor. Pa-sslng through thc Center village of Town-send and West Townsend wo como to a three-mile stretch of road wlthoul ,a house on It that winds ever upward through a n.arrow-wooded valley bo­slde a brook, whose waters arc tumb­ling picturesquely over tho rocks townrd us all tho way. The beauties ot this valley dosorvo a pen of far better dc-scrlptlve powers than mine. As wc think It is the last of June wo sec on thc hillside across thc val­ley, groat mas.sos of laurel bloom. Ju.st ns we comc In sight of the Fl tch-burg-Ashby state road wo make ft switchback turn onto tho Fltchburg-Grccnvnic-Wllton road. From hero o Wilton we .are seldom out ot sight ot laurel bloom. White and pink by thc roadside, white among the trees ot tho woodlands, white hillsides In the dis­tance, masses o t white evcrj-whcrc, acres nnd acres ot beauty. As wc pass through n cornor of Ma.son we SCO om tho lett jthc ruins of sci-cral .ancient, gigantic chestnut trees, relics of the prlmev-Til forest. Our ro.ad Is no-KT alternate stretches of dirt and improved gravel.

Oreenville Is a Uttle manufaetifrlng village, so crowded by hills that the houses arc a.s close to thc street ns In a city, to the detriment of a place which might h.ave boon fnr more at­tractive.

Soon after leaving the vlllnge wc find a down-grade which brings us Into thc valley of thc Souhegan river; nt this point n. small stream h.avlng Its rise only a few miles .aw;.ay. Here are the charred ruins of a s.awmlll nnd soon wo pass under . tho Peterboro branch ot the Fitchburg rai lroad, .which Is now

make cord wood of It, there wotild surely be flfteen cords, perhaps twen­ty. The other big trees aro all in the declining years ot decrepitude though bushels"of burrs s h o w that truitfulness Is not past. T h e largest ot these is twenly feet .and ten inches in circum­ference at the stnallest part ot the trunk. Others are fitteen,. seventeen and* eighteen teet in ciroumterence. So broken are thoy that Uttle can be said of their one.<tlme spreid and height, save that , s ing lo . limbs equal what we usually call good-sized troes. Leaving theso hoary veterans ot the forest to their lovely grandeur, we pass thoughtfully on, keoplng company wl lh the river, which Is far older yet, but where waters are ever new. In WUton we turn eastward, with the valey, now traveling on state road. "The valley widens. Looking backward ti-om time to ttme, the so-caUed Peterboro mountains seem to rise Into v iew as we draw away trom them.

Through MUtord we ride Ju.st out of s ight ot Us granite quarries to the south. Just beyond the village by the roadside is a tablet, telling where once was the corner of D'unstable. W h a t a territory.that town once had! Now we are in river valley no longer, but in a great sandy plain ot pine barrens stretching tor miles in all di­rections. Reaching Nashua the scen­ery- changes again. . We are now in the Merrimack river -valley, through which we roll homewivrd\ on a fine botjlevard. L. W.'-Wheeler.

They had just re­lurned horo Saturday and might have lost the location of their home in the meantime. Tho child -was last soen about two o'clock and search was started, but no alarm w-as felt until evening began to come in. The child \vas discovered on the road to the Pepperoll Springs and brought back home by auto, reaching here shortly after tho alarm had beon soiyjded. The recall w-as immediately sounded to stop the searchers. As the child w-as .-io far from homo it seems prob­able that some kind-hearted autoists may havo givon her a ride, thinking they w-ore carrying her tow-ard home.

NOT TO KNOW IS NO EXCUSE

To Know How to Keep Well h Better Than to Call in a Doctor to Gel W d l

Sickness Is a Penalty Not an Accident

One of the best and most depend­able and important preventatives of gett ing sick, one of tho surest '-ways of keeping well i s to form and main­tain the exceedingly good habit of regular, thorough, daily bo-wel evacu­ation.

That ia Nature's "best bet". "Vou should do your best to help Nature,' not hinder hcr in her cfforta to keep you well. -With tho best of good in ­tentions you may employ many me­thods. Strong, drastic acting medic­ines that force thc bowels to act s im­ply replace one evil by another evil. It may secure temporary action but it produces more than temporary ir­ritation and other bad effects. Don't judge,by promise in selecting a 'Sim­ple 'remedy to assist Nature. Per­formance is the true test, Tako Beecham's for example.

Over 70 years ago people began to take Beecham's. Today millions of people all over the -world take Beecham's, recommeod Beecham's to their friends, h s sd the use of Beech­am's dovim. from father to son or from mother to daughter'for gener­ation after generation. That means much. You never hear any unfavor­able criticism or complaint regarding Becchcm's. That means much if not more. I t takes real merit to Withstand the testa o f time and trial.

You can do much to help Nature keep you well by keeping a box of Beecham's m the house, TSady for use at the first warning of disorder or derangement. AU druggists sell Beecham's—aro glad to sell Beecham's.

Annual Picnic at Woodsltle. The Ladles' Aid society of the Meth­

odist chui-'h held the annual picnic with Mrs. George Pierce at Wood.slde on Thursday.. The attendance was not quite as large as last year, as many of the members were out ot town or de­tained at home, but the same friendly feeling was manifest that has marked all these events of past years.

A fine collation was served at noon under the trees In the pine grove near the riverside. Tho weather of the day was Ideal for out-of-door pleasure and thc appetites were fitted to compare with the size of the large lunch bas­kets .augmented by the baked beans, rolls and drinks, served by the hos­tess.

Thc afternoon's entertainment con-sited of a talk by Mrs. G. F. Durgin on pictures in the home. She began by remarking upon the natural beauty of their surroundings,, the restful green, and the feathery pines, mi:i^i.-ii with groups of white birches by the side ot the river. Harmony, she claimed, w-as w-hat was necessary to beauty In thc home. The flrst cssen-ti.al w.aa a pleasing background and the selection ot furnishings and the pictures should be made to cones-pond. Many valuable suggestions were offered by her as lo selection, hanging of the pictures and gc;ieral adornment.

The afternoon was also devoted to gathering In the -'dollars" In the re­cent contest. .Many related the m.an­ner In which the dollar was earned, some of these being very startling and amusing talcs. Mrs. Susan Rich­ardson, who is one of the oldest mem­bers of the society, was present, .and related her "e-vperience" In very amus­ing rhyme, and after giving several mothods tried and failed In, she left tho comp.any to guess how- tho money w.aa earned. Although the poem wa.s Klven much praise, sho said she did not think that sho w-ould ever earn a dollar .as a poet, A very excellent poem, "Ode to a tree," writton by one of the soldiers in Franco, w-ns rend bv Mrs. K. F. H.arnion. and approci­atod.

In conclusion it w-as votod hy tho ladloa. that since the all-dny picnic in August seemed to bo so excellent an institution, it might be well to vote it .an annual ovont. with the dol-I.ir-o.arnlng oxperionro as an adjunct of tho ,s.ame.

Tho g.athering did not break up un­til l.ate .afternoon, finding the social hour very pleaa^int. but tlnally all de-p.arted with sincere words of nppreci-.atlon to the hostess. Mrs. i'lorco. whn haa been a faithful inenibor and offi­cer of the aociot.v tor man.v .\oai-s, and to hcr daughter. .Mrs. Horrig. who as­sisted on this occasion nnd w-hose present w.aa apprecl.ated.

of the Red Cross workers, thc Ameri­can consul of Llllo aud an otlicer of thu army of tho north, met at the ^jrave of the sailor antl the simple Ijui-ud service wtis road in Eiigllsh, and the hVeiich cuiiitiKin<ler paid trib-uio to the ser\-iees of tlie .-xnierican .si.ddier.-> and saiior.s during the war. Tho consul placed a beautiful silk Hug on tho gi-a\'e and the loiing hands ol .Mile, J , a l-'rench inoinbor of our unit, placed a wreath on the little white cross that marked the Anieri-oan soldier's grave.

"We w-ent from here by auto tu l-^squelbec, iiasalng out of tiie zone ot battlellelds to the quiet cemetery. It IS beautifully cared for and surround­ed by the llelds of w-hctit. clover and rlax. Three trees stand guard at the Itate and the graves lie, row on row-, beneath the green sods. There are Uttlo w-alks between the row-s and blossoming plants are planted. At oach grtive a wooden cross is placed, telling who lies burled there, and his name and service.

".\t the gate we were met hy a grouii ot French ollicers from the army i*ost at Dunkerque, w-ho had beon deloifuted as a guard of honor to attend our .Memorial day service. As they ..,tood in double file, dressed in their faultless uniforms and wearing their many decorations, they were part of the beautiful picture.

"Silently we walked between thoir lines, pust the British and Canadian graves, to the corner where our boya lay buried. The simple words of the service, "1 am the resurrection and the life,' sounded doubly impressive. In 'Flanders Field where the scarlet poppies grow,' seemed very real, for the popples were blooming on either hand. On each grave we placed the American flag and beautiful bouquets of flowers. In response to an Invita­tion from the French commander w-e gathered above the graves of the six French soldiers and listened to his moving w-ords spoken in the name of the peoplo of France. On these graves we placed flowers and on a grave in the far corner -A-hose crass bore the Inscription '-Paynath Ula," a soldier of India, we laid the bouquet tied with red, white and blue, and the tri-color of France, and scattered w-hlte car­nations on the 215 British and Cana­dian grave.s. so that all w-ho slept so far from home might have a r^hare In our Memorial day."

At the conclusion sho was pre.-jont-ed. In- behalf of the chapter, with a very*-cholce bouquet of twenty vari­eties of flowers, to symbolize the many peoples among whom she had worked, the whole being surmounted with red, white and blue fiowers, with a tiny flag above all. The presentation was made by Mrs. Appleton, who arranged the bouquet as a surprise.

Anothor interesting series of papers w-ere read by Miss Annah P. Blood from sketches written by Mrs. L. P. Blood on events at her native town of Marblehead, concerning the old-fash­ioned schools, the Lee Mansion, and other tales of the quaint old place, written in a most entertaining man­ner, Mrs. E. B. Heald aLso read the poem, "In Flaiider« Fields," follow­ing the narration by Miss Dow. The whole program was much appreciated by the members and guests. Mlss Dow's recital ot her work in France being very graphic and arousing much feeling.

At the close, refreshments were served by the hostesses, who were as­sisted hy the new secretary of the or­ganization, Mrs. Olive Hammond, and others.
