We have come to our last Book Club meet- ing of the year & it is with some regret when we think of it but we have the pleasure of looking back upon a de- lightful year’s work. On the afternoon of May 2nd all of the members with our visitors, Mrs. Frank Dupuy & Miss Luke, gathered in Mrs. Martin’s roomy parlor where spring flow- ers were in profusion – old scotch – narcissus, roses etc. After roll call & the reading of the min- utes we listened with pleasure to Miss Young’s paper on Current Events which she said had been prepared in true American style - quick. The thought passed through the retiring Secretary’s mind that Miss Young could write minutes so easily & well. The book for the aft. was Whistler & Others. The time was devoted to Whistler, beginning with a short biographical sketch which Mrs. Worth gave. We learned that

Much to the regret of the Secretary she was late for the meeting of the Club on April 19th and failed to hear Miss Holt’s account of Sidney Lanier’s life & works. Miss Holt handed over the following notes – “It is marvelous what was accomplished in the short span of 39 years. Of these the most important milestones are his birth at Macon, Ga., Feb. 3, 1842, his graduation at eighteen years of age from Oglethorpe College; his enlistment in The Mason Volunteers in 1861; his service as a private & later as an officer under the Signal Service. Exposure at this period led to his decline in health. In 1867 he married Miss Mary Day of Macon. After a rather unsuccessful attempt at Law, in 1873 he moved to Baltimore & then his real work in Literature began. Previously “Tiger Lilies,” a novel, had been published. Then followed in rapid succession Poems, his two great works “The Science of English Verse,” “The

He was born in St. Louis, Mo. Nov. 10, 1871 where the first 16 yrs. of his life were spent in his na- tive city, his home until he went to Cornish N.H. where he has his present residence Harlalsenden House is.
