IT IS VERY gratifying- to us to record the addition of two new members to the Unity, in Messrs. Fulger Mattus and F. M. Wells. For the last six years Brother Fulger has been serving Uncle Sam in the army, having been stationed at Honolulu, Fort Sill, Okla., and San Pedro, Calif. But while in the army he learned of the White Horse Army, the doctrines of which he has been diligently studying the last two years, and has lived since in anticipation of the day he could cast his lot with us.
Brother Wells came here from Sweeney, Texas. We are publishing in this issue a letter he wrote us some time ago; this was set up in type before we knew he was coming, but it' explains how he came to accept the Master. Needless to say, both of our new brothers are as happy to be with us as we are to have them.
Through the kindness of Miss Bertha Boomer, the Unity as well as the people of Estero in general had the pleasure on Saturday evening, April 15, of seeing portrayed on the screen, Louisa Alcott's famous novel, "Little Women." There is much that is charming in this most fascinating story which depicts early New England life and its surroundings. The play was enacted in New England, among surroundings that have since become famous, such as the home of Ralph Waldo Emerson, as well as other historical places, and the acting was superb.
The following Sunday being Easter, the Art Hal! was most exquisitely decorated for the occasion by Sister Isadora and her co-helpers, the color scheme being green with white flowers, among them the beau- tiful magnolias that are now in bloom in our park. It was one of the sights that must be seen to be appre- pio 'i"pr1
Some one has said "That a thing of beauty is a joy forever;", so in order to share these beautiful decorations with our neighbors, an impromptu concert was announced for the following evening with a gener- al invitation to the public. Harold Moreland, having recently returned from Little Rock, Ark., was a great acquisition to our music, and he favored us with two violin solos that were mo.st delightful. Mrs. Guy Smith sang a group of song's in her cheery manner; Brother Robert Campbell gave us some excellent numbers on the cornet; Professor Schoedler played "Home, Sweet Home" with "The Storm at Sea," his own arrangement, and last but not least by any means, were two excellent flute numbers by Master Floyd Moreland. We are accustomed to good concerts, but this somewhat ex- celled the average, and those present enjoyed a rare treat.
On Saturday evening, April 29, the Dramatic Club of the Unity presented 0. W. Gleason's comedy, "How the Story Grew," under the direction of Miss Bertha M. Boomer. The cast were all female, and made up of the following sisters: Rose Gilbert, Edna Schwindel, Ida Fischer, Cora Stephens, Edith C. Trebell, Bella Armour, Barbara Ehrisman, and Ella Graham. The play was exceedingly humorous from start to finish, the end of the story having no semblance to the origi-nal, each having- drawn on her imagination and adding a little. The acting was excellent, and the audience was kept in a state of laughter from beginning to end.
We were sorry not to have Prof. Schoedler with us, he having been called to Pennsylvania. In his absence, the orchestra played eight numbers without piano accompaniment. Miss Althea Ellison, a pupil of Prof. Schoedler, gave us two selections on the piano'. (a) "Butterfly," Merkel; (b) "Barcarole," Barnett. She is very talented, and her playing on this occasion was exceptionally good. The male quartet sang'; "Come Where the Lilies Bloom," and an encore number, Miss Ellison played the piano accompaniment. The closing number was a farce, "The Bugtown. Band," under the direction of Mrs. Edith TrebelL The cast was made. up of Mr. and Mrs. Rarold Moreland, Robert, Campbell, Floyd Moreland, and Tibor Wyka. This skit was a scream from beginning to end; the boys were dressed like a bunch of "rubes" who didn't know any-thing about their instruments, but their closing number of "Home, Sweet Home," was very gratifying' to their teacher, Miss Montford (Mrs. Moreland), as well as another number, the name of which we do not now recall, bringing to a close a most excellent even- ing's entertainment.
In the November SWORD of 1921 we recorded the arrival in Estero of Mr. Ed. Moreland, Mrs Nichols, and Miss Whiting, coming' by auto from Colorado. The above party left Estero on the 4th of May, going back the same way. The alloted span of life is threescore and ten, but Mrs. Nichols has already gone this ten better, and from the way she's enjoying life, we would not be surprised to see her reach the century mark. They were all very enthusiastic over their sojourn here, and we hope some day to see them back again.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Miller made a few days visit to the Unity before leaving for their northern home in Chicago; their winter home is in Fort Myers.
Mrs. Jennie Campbell left on the 4th for New York City.
Brother William Fischer has gone for a short vacation to the Florida Everglades. He expects to visit the "Everglades Poet," Dr. James Russell Price, at Okeelanta, before returning.
Brother Carl Luettich met with an accident which at first we thought might prove very serious; he fell from a building on which he was working', and struck on his back; we are happy to report, however, that he is convalescing nicely; he is now up and around.
Work is progressing favorably on our new dairy barn; we expect to cover the roof and sides with galvanized iron.
