rming and writing is the program for the
coming winter's work for the Daughters of New Hampshire. It is
all planned, and if all the women's clubs carry such a program
as the one which Miss Sanborn has planned, and that means that
it will be carried out, the winter's history of women's clubs
will be one of unprecedented prosperity.

If New Hampshire's daughters now living out of their own State
do not keep track of each other, and become acquainted into the
bargain, it will not be the fault of their president, who has
carried on correspondence with almost every one of them, and
who has planned a winter's work that will enable them to learn
something about their own State, as well as to meet for the
promoting of acquaintance.

OUR FIRST MEETING

This meeting was presided over by our much loved
First-President, Kate Sanborn, and it was the most informal,
spontaneous, and altogether enjoyable organization meeting that
could be imagined, and the happy spirit came that has guided
our way and helped us over the rough places leading us always
to the light.

Our first resolve was to enjoy to the utmost the pleasure of
being together, and with it to do everything possible to help
our native State. To these two objects we have been steadfastly
true in all the years; and how we have planned, and what we
have done has been recorded to our credit, so that we may now
say in looking back, "We have kept the faith and been true."

At this time there are so many memories, all equally precious
and worthy of mention here, but we must be brief and only a few
can be recalled.

In our early years _our_ Kate Sanborn led us through so many
pleasant paths, and with her "twin President," Julia K. Dyer,
brought the real New Hampshire atmosphere into it all.

That was a grand Dartmouth Day, when the good man, Eleazar
Wheelock, came down from his accustomed wall space to grace our
program and the Dartmouth Sons brought their flag and delighted
us with their college songs.

Since then have come to us governors, senators, judges, mayors,
and many celebrities, all glad to bring some story with the
breath of the hills to New Hampshire's Daughters. Kate
Sanborn first called for our county tributes, to renew old
acquaintances and promote rivalry
