Society as a surprise, at the Daughters' public observance of Washington's Birthday. at one of the Saturday evening chats, some one contributed a jug of new cider.

This is a posilive fact, although the Club has many negatives. an interesting informal talk was given by Mr. Benjamin P. Hollis on Saturday evening, Feb. 19.

After the talk the combination most popular was the olive blended with cracker white and cheese yellow. the paper on Sarah Bradlee Fulton was first read by Miss Wild before the local chapter of the D.

to his proposal, and at break of day on the following Monday morning he walked three or four miles in pursuit of a young schoolmaster with whom he was slightly acquainted, that he might consult him in regard to the books which it would be necessary for him to procure and study. From him he learned for the first time of the Latin Accidence, and obtained the loan of it. This he mastered in a short time, and in a few weeks afterward he placed himself under the care of the Rev. Mr. Emerson, of Hollis, who was in the habit of receiving youths into his family and fitting them for college. During these preparatory studies he was unremitting in his diligence, constantly spending from fourteen to sixteen hours every day over his books, so that he entered college in sixteen months from the time of his determining to be a scholar. After receiving his degree in 1771 he pursued his theological studies for a year in Cambridge. I am not aware that his professional studies were under the directio

or those who came to it. There is left to us the delightful memory of a man of pure character and noble purpose, who used his opportunities for the worthiest ends; a friend of all that is good, a lover of his kind, he has made the world better, and too early, as we think, he has passed from this earthly scene which needs such to forward its highest welfare. Henry C. Delong. Lorin L. Dame. William Cushing Wait. February 17, 1902. Society Notes. The miniature poster at the head of Mr. Hollis' paper on Grace Church is a reproduction of the first call for a meeting of the Episcopalians in Medford. The Saturday Evening Course of the society has proved very interesting, and good-sized audiences have greeted the speakers. Mr. F. M.
