Particularly were the members interested when she =poke of Mary Franklin, the chapter's 14-year-old scholarship girl, who has | alrendy found a warm spot in the heart of every member by the splen- 414 jetters she writes to them and the excellent progress she is making, both in her studies and in her music.

By unanimous vote {of the chapter, the secretary was di- rected to send to Mrs. Dingley a letter expressing deep appreciation for her gift of the year book, which is proving 10 be an invaluable guide to the offi cers and members. The secretary was also asked to send a letter of condolence to the vice | regent, Mrs. Aaron Gottshall, who re- | cently lost her sister. Mrs. Hopkins, as a member of the national committee for the erection of a memorial to the founders of the D. A.

This gave a delightful Christmas_spiril to the meeting. Following the close of business Mrs. John Mock, gave an account of her latest trip around the world, which. it should be added, was her fourth cir-| cumnavigation of the globe. The fact | that Mrs. Mock is able to draw from such a store of experiences is no small factor in her undoubted success as a raconteur. Her audience was loath to have her talk come to an Miss Adams gave several imper- sonations, which were enthusiastically received. —_— ONE-CHILD HOME PLANS SCORED AS “INSIDIOUS.” Residents of Oldburg, England, 8ee Town Council's Proposal as Birth-Control Scheme.
