time to Mr. and Mrs. Ridgway and their friends. The novelty of seeing 
themselves walking around in their own grounds ministering to the birds 
and entertaining their friends was a delight to these dear people. The

each member of the party took away delightful memories that coming

home and enjoyed thoroughly the beauty of the region through which

they had come in the storm in the dark two nights before. Reaching 
Danville a stop was made to visit Mrs. Frank H. Lewis of the Danville 
Garden Club, who served a delightful luncheon and exhibited for our 
entertainment an albino robin sitting on its nest. This was quite a

squirrels, an unusual occurrence in the animal world. The remainder of 
the journey home was made under ideal conditions and each member of 
the party will treasure the delightful memories of the visit. 
A wire from Mr. Ridgway on Tuesday, May 25th, advised of the 
sudden death of Mrs. Ridgway, which came as a terrible shock and also 
brought to us the realization of the great good fortune that attended our 
trip as we had been privileged to have an intimate visit with Mrs. 
Ridgway and had given her a very great pleasure.
