Going Back to Old Greece.
We wish to tell you of our Chapter of Minerva's Owlets, organized this winter for the purpose of gaining an idea of Greek and Latin mythology, "and," as our constitution says, "for having a good time withal." We each bear the name of an Olympic deity, and during our meetings call each other by those names.
After the regular business meeting at which, of course, Jupiter presides, a god and goddess each gives an autobiographical sketch of their wanderings among mankind, and then necter and ambrosia are served, usually by mortal hands. The meetings are not always held upon Mt. Olympus, but often at the different haunts of ye deities. Already have we met in the palace of Jupiter, in Venus's arbor, with Neptune in his submarine grotto, in Diana's temple, and in the grove of Athena.
Ye gods and goddesses have interested themselves so much in the affairs of mortals that they are now expending their godly abilities in behalf of the Good Will Farm. They hope to be able to soon send to it the greetings of
Ye Chapter of Minerva's Owlets.

A good strong paste which keeps well, and sticks so fast that the label is not easily detached from the bottle, is made as follows:
