Man-, nnpmrt it seem almost absurd to
'it Plcturo these joung ghU. almost babies
themselves, with little ones or tneir own.

Grimths rage's Is about Bilk months. Mary
Bolilcn Tilghman must be a picture with a
tuab In her arms. She Is wonderfully
pretty, It seems to me, and lacks the rathci
worried look that her mother and Trlscllla
both have. Thej arc all t ireo beauties,
however.
You remember Mar.v and Dick TUghman
iTwcro married here last stay in tno uatne
W dral of hS. l'eter and Paul, and when Dick
W went down to Georgia with the troop Mary
l' went thero also to live.
IIIllATt Mrs. Van P.cnsselacr Is thinking
of starting up an Interest In planting
and harvesting along the Heading road
this year, much on the same order as tho
work dono last e,ar on the Main Line by
Mis. Andrew Wilght Crawford and a num.
bet- of other women and which was so
wondei fully successful. Ccitaln It Is that
bushels of vegetables wetc saved which
othetvvlso would have gone In tho general
waste of things, nnd the healthy outdoor
exercise did much for tho women, girls
IA and boys who engaged In the work." Mrs.
