Mrs. Robert S. Bradley presided at the meeting held 
Miss Elise Ames of 15 Commonwealth avenue, Bos- 
ton, who had been in California for the past two months, 
arrived home this week. She is receiving many congratu- 
lations from her friends, for she made her début as an 
illustrator recently with the appearance of “Louisburg 
Square,” Mr. Cutler’s new. book, for which she designed 
the illustrations. Miss Ames has been studying art for 
some time and maintains a studio on Boylston street, 
Boston. She possesses talent and her friends are confi- 
dent that she will have success in her new avocation. On 
April 23 Miss Ames and her sister, Miss Olivia Ames, and 
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Ames, are leaving town 
for North Easton, where they have a large country estate. 
They will come to Pride’s Crossing in June to spend the 
sum'ner as usual.

The Militia of Mercy, of which Mrs. John Hays 
Hammond is president, has begun active work in New 
York. ‘Many prominent women will begin at once to 
visit the families of the men who have been called to the 
colors. The militia will make the visits to the soldiers’ 
and sailors’ families in ordinary garb and not in uniforms 
as were at first thought of. In this way the visit will be 
more friendly and not savor so much of the organization. 
The militia promises to follow the slogan, “We'll take 
care of yours while you go to defend ours.”

Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Reynolds Hitt of Washington 
are noted among the families leasing villas in Newport 
this season. W. Barklie Henry of Philadelphia, a brother- 
in-law of Mrs. Timothee Adamowski, has become a per- 
manent Newporter by purchasing the Gilliat estate in 
Rhode Island avenue. Two years ago the Henrys sum- 
mered at Beverly Farms. 
in Boston last week under the auspices of the Women’s 
Municipal League and Special Aid society, when Dr. 
Albert Bushnell Hart lectured on “Who Steers the Ship 
of State?’ The meeting was one of a series planned to 
crystalize all activity into one thought of cooperation and 
getting together; getting rid of useless technicalities and 
centering interest on the real issue—that of helping the 
preparedness program. Personal cooperation, its pro- 
moters argue, is the great thing. There is nothing to be 
explained, to cause doubt, or indecision as to whether one 
can or cannot help. The one rule for all, persons and 
organizations, is “Get Together.”

The Sailfish club, which centers in Palm Beach, has 
some interesting stories to record this year. Leonard D. 
Ahl won the prize offered by himself for the largest sail 
fish taken with light tackle. Mr. Ahl also took a second 
prize and Mrs. Ahl drew in a 59-pound sailfish, thus cap- 
turing the first prize for women. She also was fortunate 
in taking a second prize. )
