1,086th, meeting.

Outside it was cold and blustry, having snowed some during
the night, but inside the lovely new modren home of Rose and Ulric Hutton
the inclement weather was forgotten. The hugh picture windows, letting
in what light there was framed distant views on every side, one of the choie
ones being from the window over the kitchen sink, What a joy! There
were lovely flowers everywhere, and after a delicious luncheon Deb.
Iddings called the meeting to order.

After the reading of the minutes and theapproval of those of
the last meeting the Treas. made here report. She reported having

hand of $27.00

The next place of meeting will be The Briars with Margaret
Jones in May, with Emelene Hill in June and Elizabeth Ligon in July.

The hostess had a sentiment and an article on Spring.

Grace Thomas had a wonderful article which we wish more people
might hear. Several years ago she heard the end of a "Town Meeting"
radio program, and was so impressed with the part she heard and the
reception it received in the studio that she sent for a copy of the
talk. The subject, "How can we strengthen our American Home", was in
the form of a letter from a mother to her daughter who, in her own home
had asked advise from her mother. It was so fine it is hard to lift
any one quotation, but the one which made the most impression on me
was, "One big way is to make all 'my's' 'our's', not only in luxuries
but in privations". We were all so impressed that Grace was asked to
write the arthur and ask permission so reprint the letter in the
County Paper.

Catherine Adams read from "The Pathfinder", the story of
Roger Peterson, the modern authority on birds.

Fanny Iddings read from their club book, "Specially Father",
by Gladys Tabor.

Dr. Crum had an aknowldegement from the family to whom we sent
a CARE package. She read from the pamphlet which was enclosed. She reported
a bird she discribed last month is a real Red-headed woodpecker",
which we were all glad to hear. It is coming regularly to her feeder.

Esther Stabler read a story of Nantucket, "Island Patchwork".
The portion she read was about Lecretia Mott and her cousin Walter
Folger.

Elza read a beautiful sentiment from Philip Brookes.

Elizabeth Ligon read The Killers from The book of Folklore.
She asked if anyone knew of anything to kill garlic except digging. No
one did.

Cousin Rose told of her Chick-a-dees.

Cousin Helen Hallowell read from Look magazine some of the
first Lane Bryant Ads. this being the pioneer in special maternity
wear.

Margaret Jones read a little poem of "Little People", and other
poems from The White Ribbon Herald.

Occupied Japan, with instructions for sending discarded hosiery for
