CIRCLE RUMMAGE Remember the Rummage, Oct. 19, at 1 p.m. Contribute and buy. LIBRARY The Library addition is well un- der way. The foundation is being laid. BOY SCOUT DRIVE The Boy Scout Drive is proceed- ing very well, the Fund amounting to $1160 to date, with a short time left for you to contribute, it you have overlooked it. The Cubs will be In two Pocks as before and it is hoped that Mrs. Wm. Hundertmark and Mrs. Alvin Perry will continue as Cub Mothers. Mr. Frank Hor- gan will be Cub Master. On Sept 29 , the Scouts and Cubs heid a joint meeting, at which, due to the new age ruling, quite a num- ber of Cubs were promoted. Remem- ber your sons may become Cub Scouts younger by a year than be- fore. Mr. Angus Perry continues as Scout Master. CUBS HAVE FIRST MEETING Mr. Frank Horgan , newly ap- pointed Cub Master , called the Cubs together Tuesday P. M. for their first meeting of the season. HARVEST FESTIVAL With a whole summer of bright sunny days behind us it was not too unkind of the weather man to chart Wednesday for a showery day. Save for the inconvenience of having to pick flowers in the rain , the gentle showers nearly all day- added rather than detracted from the charm of the afternoon. It was as if everybody were silently giving thanks for the grey skies and the moist earth and bringing an offering therefor. The offerings were never lovelier , whether they were flowers or fruit or vegetables. Those whose bounty- stemmed from country kitchens came laden too; choice and dainty and delicious were their garlands of autumn , eagerly purchased by the afternoon 's many visitors. In a library with such tiny ac- commodations it is always wonder- ful to see how so many activities can be crowded into two rooms and one rainy afternoon. Books must take second place this time , so they are tucked away for back- ground , while September , gay with her harvest , reigns from fireplace mantel to the ivied doorstep wall. Every available bit of space in the building is occupied for that after- noon by flowers or fruit or vege- tables , by somebody holding a tea cup or selling a pie. There Is hardly an ounce of room for that bewil- dered person who lias mistaken the occasion for a library day and wants to return a book! Safe from the southeast wind yet ¦refreshed by the moisture, a basket of vegetables had been ar- ranged in the porch corner. Here was harvest heaped high In a bas- ket and running over , two butter- nut squashes .curved alsout the stand which supported it and sweet potato vines trailing their green foliage all about , as if they had grown there. Three fat cabbages made a rosette of jade in the other corner, while apples and grapes welcomed you up the steps. Once inside the best approach was to shut one's eyes and let all the fragrances drift toward you for sampling. Summer was there ; yes, June in fact, for that loveliest of all remembered fragrances, the rose. If a rose can be queen in sum- mer, she can also reign as royally in late September. Remembering what Mrs. Miniver said about chry- santhemums one catches the sharp and pungent tang of their Indian summer beauty, while somewhere there is borne to one's nose the bright sweet flavour of nasturtiums blooming against an old wall. Less striking, but never to be forgotten, there Is herb essence in the air— mint and hyssop and basil and rose- mary. Now to admire what this harvest of autumn beauty has to offer. A tiny bouquet which caught all eyes first and was returned to most often in the afternoon was a small white iron-stone gravy dish tilled with the soft and airy spires of white budd- lela and white roses. Very Victorian and lovely. Nasturtiums were spill- ing their golden red splendor from the fireplace mantel ln teapot and iron cooking kettle, while the al- cove window at the north glowed like the morning sun with bright yellow supreme marigolds. White petunias in a glazed jar companioned a bowl of fat yellow zinnias, while nearby stood large earthenware jars overflowing with the bronze and the gold of chrysan- themums with some bits of October sky in the form of asters tucked in for good measure. White pom- pom dahlias in white pottery dish , never divulging in their chaste beauty that their owner had fairly leaped from her bed ot six in the morning to gather them. At this season garden owners are rash ln their flower harvesting. In spring we can hardly bear to pick one early tulip lest there be no more. We hnve been so long without flowers at that season. But ln late September we go into the garden and sweep everything bfore us. And so it was on Wed- nesday last. Not just a rose for remembrance, but arms full. As you entered the larger room , there under the window was a garden in itself. Great tall yellow roses, their foliage glistening with the shower , filled a large glass pitcher, while nearby, their splendour and fra- grance unforgettable were red roses, like something in a dream. A little bit of blue dish was gay with Texas yellow daisies, while an old pitcher caught the richest ot blues ln a bouquet of ageratum. Somewhere white verbena and red roses bloomed In a bookish corner while a copper pitcher glowed with the rich tones ot ine Madame Chiang Kal Chek chrysan- themums, smiling across the table at their cousins, the showy and beautiful Avalanche. A tall blue glass vase caught late summer by| the hem of her dress and held purple buddleia and a deep pinky- purple dalllia, to everybody 's de- light. An old wooden chopping bowl became a centerpiece of vegetables with all the colors ot tapestry in its depths, while on the shelf was a gleaming brass tray filled with j friuts and vegetables, softly gar- landed with sprays of parsley and dill. Another ancient wooden bowl was a study in greens, for a bough of winter pears had been arranged about a nest of green grapes, worthy of a painter 's brush. At eight, the doors were quietly closed on this September festival. But like all good things tasted and ' savored properly ,a curtain could not be drawn upon the memory of them. To all those who shared in it in any way it will remain what it was-j-"a thing of beauty and a joy forever." PASTORAL COMMITTEE This Committee and the Pas- toral Committee of the West Barn- stable Church at their joint meet- ing Monday night decided to meet jointly once a week regularly.
