Margaret has not decided upon her future work, but we know that her quiet reserve and wisdom will find her a way. All things good be yours, Margaret. Winifred Mary Milla 53 Lockwood Street “Fair manners are the mantles of fair minds. Short is the time that Winifred has been with us, for she came in the third year.
