The choir will render special Christmas music in Thursday evening of last week the members of the Women’s Home Mis- sionary society of the First church of Christ fittingly observed the one hun- dredth anniversary of their society. It is known that the society is, in reality, older than one hundred years although there are no records before the treasurer’s report of 1815, At the meeting Thursday Miss Alice Stanley read a most interesting paper, tracing the work and growth of the society during the first eighty-two yvears of its life, facts being taken from written records. It was first known as “The New Britain Female Charitable society,” and its members would meet and sew at different homes and, after the long afternoon of sewing the men would come and all would enjoy a good supper. Miss Thirza Lee was the first president of whom they have knowledge. During the years that followed changes in the church came about but the society survived them all and went steadily 6n doing its good work. Within the memory of the present generation was Mrs. O. C. Stanley, who was president and leader of the society for a great number of years. She was succeeded by Mrs. John Den- ison, who was president for twenty- five years, In 1892 the members changed the name of the organization to the Woman’s Home Missionary So- city, and in 1894 its gatherings were changed from afternoons to evening socials. At Thursday’s meeting, also, Mrs, Theresa Stanley read a paper which outlined the work and growth of the society during the past eighteen years. This paper told of the dif- ferent changes which had come about and also gave the list of officers of the society. The members are very proud of the long, successful life of their so- ciety and of all the good it has accom- rlished. They also are pleased to think that it is the oldest benevolent soclety in New Britain. .. At the Woman's club open meeting which was held Thursday evening at the Baptist church, Professor E. A. Steiner of Iowa university, Grinnell, Towa, gave a splendidly interesting talk on ‘‘Slavic Characteristics.” Dr. Steiner, who is himself a foreigner, has studied the problem from every viewpoint and consequently his views as given in his address were exceed- ingly fair and well balanced. First he spoke of the war and its dreadful con- sequences to humanity and then he went on to tell and describe the most prominent characteristic of the Slav. The meeting was well attended and Dr. Steiner’'s talk was greatly appre- ciated and enjoyved. Dr. Steiner was not a stranger in New Britain, as Mrs. A. J. Sloper, president of the Wo- man’s club, said when she introduced him to his audience, he had spoken here before. e The members of the Community Whist club of Kensington held their bi-monthly meeting Wednesday even- ing at the homé of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Williams. The ladies’ prizes were won by Mrs. Milton Emery and Miss Minnie Gibbs, while Richard Brown and Milton Emery won the gentle- men’s prizes. The club will meet on December 29 with Miss Marjorie Moore at her home on Main street. .o The engagement of Merwin S. Hart, son of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Hart of this city, to Miss Natali¢ Downing of Erie, Pennsylvania, was announced in that city a short time ago. Mr. Hart is associated with the General Electric company, being connected with the Erie office. DY Tonight, in the First church chapel, Miss Marion Clark of Boston, a clever and accomplished impersonator, will give an impersonation of “Daddy Long-Legs.” Miss Clark’s work has always received much favorable com- ment and it is due to this fact that the entertainment promises to be a very pleasing one. .. Thursday evening the Bird Study club held a most interesting meeting at the Stanley street school. Dr. E. H. Munger of Hartford, who is an authority on ferns in Connecticut, gave an enjoyable and instructive talk on ferns. His address was illustrated by mounted ferns from his own private collection. ... An entertainment and dance is to be given at the Y. W. C, A., Tuesday evening, December 28. The “Follies of the Stanley Works” will be given for the benefit of the association.
