Looking Back on Aug. 30

100 Years Ago: 1923

Members of Lewiston Reading Circle enjoyed a delightful day Tuesday as guests of Mrs. George W. Horne at the Horne cottage at Norway Lake. The day was rainy so there was not much chance for going out-of-doors, but the Hornes have a large boathouse which contains as one of its pleasant features, a large fireplace, so the members gathered there where they had just the “right kind” of restful entertainment for a rainy day-a cheerful fire, cheerful conversation, a gracious hostess and a most appetizing dinner. The trip was made by automobile.
