Huugerford told the members of the Chamber of Commerce at the annual banquet on January 17, that he had read an ad- vertisement in a New York news- paper asking for a housckeeping man to work ' for a Dbusiness woman, he applied his story to the spirit of the times, He intimated, without going into detalls, that this is an indication of the rapid strides women is taking in the business world in New Britain.

It was early in November, 1021 that Miss Marguerite Reynolds, sec tary of the Reynolds estate. called a meeting of business and professional women, women who were making their mark in the business world against the fast fading prejudice in favor of the lesser sex. The meeting s called after a number of unsuc- cessful attempts on the part of mem- bers of the Business and Professional Women's club in Hartford to organize here. The sesslon was held in the Cham- ber of Commerce rooms and speakers from Hartford and New York were present, representing the National Federation of Women's clubs, It w o- | stated that the object of the club was to promote the welfare of busin and professional women, distribute vo- cational information for their mutual benefit; to promote the social and commercial standards of the mem- bers; improve their educational facili ties by taking up extension courses from different universities on current toples and economics and in gene Presidents of Women’s Organizations :—: S S S M g 0 B Mrs. M.

The night of January 22, 1902, was a rainy one. Shortly after midnight, the cry of fire rang out and in a very short time the news had spread that 8t. Mary's church was on fire. The fire department responded and found that the blaze was in the basement. What the cause of it was, has never been known. In a short time, the Flaze, as was thought, was put out, and the fire companies returned to their stations. About an hour afterwards, how- ever, an explosion was heard to come from the interior of the church, fol- lowed by several more, and soon the entire structure was a burning mass of flames. A high wind was blowing and though the fire department strove with herculean efforts to get the blaze under control, their work was un- availing. In a few hours, the beautiful church, the pride of the Catholics of New Britain and an ornament to the main street of the city, was reduced to a blackened mass of ruins. When the dawn had come thousands came to view the scene, and only tottering walls met their gaze. Today, on the same site, there stands one of the finest examples of church architecture in the city, bullt through the untiring efforts of the present pastor, Rev. John T. Winters, and the splendid support of his par- ishioners. 10 REVISE TARIFFS - Special Commission Created in Mos- cow to Change Old Government Customs.
