as secretary most competently but graced the sessions in most lovely fashion. Miss Kane appears all too briefly at the meetings; it would have been most pleasurable to have had her with us longer. The same is true of Ruth Pietchman and Betty Dossier; but we were delighted indeed with their presence. Something ought to be done to suspend jobs and to chloroform bosses when the National is in session! And as for Marion Cole--when she was in the throes of a post-convention slump of no mean proportions she still maintained that she had had the time of her life and that it was worth all "the morning after the night before" that she endured! An account of the social activities of the convention by these young ladies would be well worth reading! Veteran of thirty-five years that I am, I naturally enjoyed most the meeting with those whose presence has made many conventions happy for me. Philadelphia will linger long in my heart for the occasion if afforded for me again to clasp hands and renew friendship and spend glorious hours with such dear friends as James M. Morton, A. M. Adams, Vincent and Felicitas Haggerty, Edna Hyde McDonald, Edwin Hadley, Nita Gerner Smith, and Rheinhart Kleiner. I went to the Quaker City, moreover, with the deep hope that I might meet again some of those who had made my first convention there in 1906 unforgettable. I was not disappointed, for I had occasion to spend happy hours again in the glorious company of Charlie Russell, Frank Henderson, and J. Ray Spink, and to see all too briefly, Mrs. Mabel Oechsle. Russell is in newspaper work in Chester; his taking Mrs. Cole and me to Valley Forge was a gracious courtesy that made us very happy; and to renew memories of the old days with him was a rich experience. For years Frank Henderson and I were very close; we visited at each other's homes; our families became acquainted. Then we lost sight of each other; but
