among the members. We adorned
ourselves with the gold buttercup badges, and adopted the grey
and garnet as our colors.

NEW HAMPSHIRE'S DAUGHTERS

_Members of the Society Hold an Experience Meeting._

The first meeting of the season of New Hampshire's Daughters
was held at the Hotel Vendome, Boston, Saturday afternoon, and
was a most successful gathering, both in point of attendance
and of general interest. The business of the association was
transacted under the direction of the president, Miss Kate
Sanborn, whose free construction of parliamentary law and
independent adherence to common sense as against narrow
conventionality, results in satisfactory progress and rapid
action. The 150 or more ladies present were more convinced than
ever that Miss Sanborn is the right woman in the right place,
although she herself indignantly repudiates the notion that she
is fitted to the position.

The Daughters declare that the rapid growth of the organization
is due to Miss Sanborn more than to any other influence. Her
ability, brightness, wit, happy way of managing, and her strong
personality generally are undoubtedly at present the mainstays
of the Daughters' organization. She is ably assisted by an
enthusiastic corps of officers.

MY DEAR KATE SANBORN:

Your calendar about old age is simply _au fait_. After reading
it, I want to hurry up and grow old as fast as I can. It is the
best collection of sane thoughts upon old age that I know in
any language. Life coming from the Source of Life must be
glorious throughout. The last of life should be its best.
October is the king of all the year. A man should be more
wonderful at eighty than at twenty; a woman should make her
seventieth birthday more fascinating than her seventeenth.
Merit never deserts the soul. God is with His children always.

Yours for a long life and happiness,
PETER MacQUEEN.

DEAR KATE SANBORN:

The "Indian Summer Calendar" is the best thing you have done
yet. I have read it straight through twice, and now it lies on
my desk, and I read daily selections from it, as some of the
good people read from their "Golden Treasury of Texts."
