Reports of the various officers were read and approved. Following is the annual report of the club, gs prepar- ed by the recording secretary and varjous chairmen: “‘Change is the order of the day but it is not dlways welcome, and it was with sincere regret that one year ago the Woman's club accepted the resig- nation of the president, Mrs. R. N. Hemenway who has been closely iden- tified with the management of the club for several years and whose tact and sincerity have helped to create a happy atmospherc in every phase of the club work. “But if changes must be made, then have we indeed been fortunate the past year in having for our leader one who has also had the welfare of the club at heart for many years, and who is ever ready to give of her time and effort to the furthering of its interests. Under the skillful guid- ance of Mrs. Buell B. Bassette who was elected to office last spring, the club has enjoyed one of the most prosperous years in its history., With the exception of the presidency the board of officers remained unchang- ed and Mrs. R. N. Hemenway and Mrs. H. B. Humason were clected di- rectors for the term expiring in 1924. “For some time the question of new quarters for the club had been under consideration and it was final- |1y decided to adopt the Camp school aunditorium as our meeting place. We have thoroughly enjoyed this well- lighted, spacious hall, which has sup- plied adequate room for all our meet- ingy, thereby saving the club the ex- tra expense of engaging special quar- ters for guest nights. We are grate- ful to Mr. White for the generous terms upon which the hall has been rented to us and for his courtesy in the matter of extra meetings and re- | hearsals which must often have caus- ed inco! nience to those conuected with the school. Reception Held. “The year's program began with a very delightful reception given by the president at her home. Members of the board and others in the club as- | sisted Mrs. Bassctte in receiving and entertaining the guests. A large num- | ber of women responded to the in- vitation and the new members of the club were made especially welcome. Any effort to promote the spirit of friendlincss among the club members s worth while and Mrs. Bassette's | courtesy to the club was much ap- preciated. “The first iecture of the season was by Rev. 1. Brewer Eddy on ‘Amer- jea's Interest in China—A Half-Cen- SureRelief FOR INDIGESTION BELLANS! 6 BELLANS Hot water Sure Relief 25¢ and 75¢ Packages Everywhere ings and buildings of Par of the efforts toward reconstruction since the war and the loyalty of the I'rench for the Americans, 10 then took us to Scotland and brought that coun- try before us so vividly that tve could feel the staunch qualities ot the Cov- enanters who stand for the fighting spirit of old Scotland. “Mrs, Kirkham gave a charming description of places and people in Southern France, of convent life and of the old fortiteed towns. This after- noon stands out in our minds as one of the red-letter events. of the year. “Our one meeting in December was planned and conducted by Mr. W. I, Brooks, This was a very happy oc- casion filled to overflowing with the spirit of Christmas. The decorations were most artistic—the red candles and berries adding a note of warmth and cheer, “Mrs, Brooks spoke of the early Christmas traditions which are still cherished by us, and of our own con- ception of Santa Claus as the best Joved of them all. She read a whimsi- essay by Crothers called “Christ- mas and the spirit of Democracy and urged the more frequent singing of Christmas Carols and a greater popu- larity of the Municipal Tree. “Mrs. Howard Horton accompanied by Mr. Beebe, sang several beautiful Christmas songs and carols. Miss Greta Brown gave an interesting talk on the books of the year which was of assistance ot those seeking to ob- tain gifts for the holiday season—an- other red-letter afternoon—this also contributed by one of our own club members. Dramatic Ability Scen “The fact that there is much dramatic ability in our club was demonstrated on the afternoon of January 3 when several club members under the directions of Mrs. Clarence Bennett presented the play “Tickless Time.” A more amusing situation and a more skilful cast would be hard to find and the club is thoroughly appre- ciative of the many hours of labor given by each one who took part. “We arc always interested in pro- gress along educational lines, and we gained much information from the lecture given by Dr. J. Crosby Chap- man of Yale University. His subject was “The Significance and Measure- ment of General Intelligence.” He ex- plained that Binet tests which are be- ing given in many schools of the country at the present time in order to ascertain the proper grading for pupils.¥lhis was an open meeting and the interest of the audience was shown by the pertinent questions ask- ed and the general discussion which followed the lecture. “It was a great disappointment to learn that Mrs. Vernon Kellogg who was to have lectured on January 31 would be unable to come. After sev- eral failures in securing a speaker at such short notices, we were finally successful in obtaining Prof. M. Allen of Trinity college who lectured on “The I2bb-Tide of Modern Drama.” Prof. Allen gave the history of the stage from the earliest attempts down to the present day and assured us that we are now enjoying the best drama since the time of Shakespeare. “A delightful musicale was given on the evening of IFebruary 7 when we listened to Mrs. Maurice Milcke in a number of appealing songs, and to Miss I‘rances Parker in several at- tractive piano numbers. These two artists are always sure of a warm welcome in the Woman's club. “The most unique program of the year was presented on February 28 in the form of a Current Fvent Mag- azine—with Mrs. I, 3. Humason, edi- tor-in-chief. She was assisted by Mrs. 1. A. Moore and Mrs. W, P. Tryon, sociate editors and Miss Cornelia Chamberlain, fashion editor. Nearly every article in the magazine was written and read by some member of the club and much time and careful thought had been given by the editor in gathering together this interesting material “The last regular meeting of the club year was an evening musicale with Mps, Truman E, Fassett, Violon- celllst, Mrs, Joseph Dallet, violinist, and Mrs, TLouls €, Newman, planist, These artists entertained their aud- lence with several delightful trios and Mrs, FPassett's 'cello solos were partics ularly enjoyed. Summary of Year, "o sum up the events ot the year —~we have had one reception, threo evening meetings conslating of guest night and two musicales; one drama- tle afternoon by club talent, three lec- tures—on international topics, on edu- cational matters and on the drama-— and three afternoons contributed by members of the elub-—Travel sketches, the Christmas Celebration and Current Lvents, “It is difficult for women nowadays to find time for much reading, and for study of present-day conditions. On this account the board of the Woman's club decided upon a course of Current Event lectures to be given by Miss Mary Taylor DBlauvelt of Hartford, This course of nine lec- tures has proved to be most helpful, and current events have been reviewed by Miss Blauvelt every fortnight throughout the season, The lectures have been full of informatlion, a plain statement of facts given without bias or partisanship, and covering a wide range of topics. “Without any desire to scem mer- cenary it may not be out of order to note that only three meetings of the club this year have been paid for out of the club treasury. The rest have bgen gifts to the club through the courtesy of some of its members or have been contributed by club talent. We are indebted to Mrs. Bassette for the opening reception, to Mrs. Justus Traut for the pianist for guest night, to Mrs. Brooks for the delightful music and the talk on Christmas hooks given at her meecting in Decem- her; to Mrs. Frank J. Porter for the afternoon with Professor Chapman; to Mrs. W. C. Hungerford for the musi- cale by’ Mrs. Milcke and Miss Parker, and to Mrs. George Bean for the last musicale on the program. We also wish to gratefully acknowledge a gift of money from Mrs. Charles Corbin, this gift having been used by the so- cial committee in the purchase of punch glasses. Another generous donation of money was received from Mrs. Charles Landers, who for many years has been deeplysinterested in the welfare of the club. It is our re- gret that she cannot be with us oft- ener at our meetings. 360 Members On Roll. “We have gained greatly in num- bers during the year. The member- ship of the club including those who join with us today is 360. “We remember lovingly today three members who have left us during the year—who have long been identified with the club, and were evey ready to promote its welfare. ~We mourn the loss of Mrs. J. Andrew Pickett, Mrs. Timothy W. Stanley and Mrs. John B. Talcott. “Each year the desire of the club grows stronger to be of benefit to our city. Such work is earried on by our efficient civic committee—this year with Mrs. A. C. McKinnie ch&irman. We will listen to her report: Report of Civic Committec. “The civic committee of the Woman's club gave a tea at the home of Mrs. E. A, Moore Wednesday, June 8 for the Fresh Air Camp at Bur- lington. Contributions amounting to $510 were received together with a quantity of cereals and crackers. Dur- ing the year the civic department con- tributed $25 to the dental clinic. “It was also thought advisable to join the Chamber of Commerce for which $12 was expended. “The play ‘Tickless Time,' given by the members of the Woman's club was repeated on Wednesday evening, January 11, under the auspices of the civic department for the benefit of the Children's Home, the sum of $107.10 being cleared. The commit- tee is indebted to the New Britain Record for programs and tickets. Financial Statement. Receipts:— Check from Woman's Club, Mrs. Wm. E.

Her report follo#s: Hospitality Committee, “The hospitality committee has en- deayvored throughout the season to fulflilTits duties and hopes that it has met with some measure of success. “However, some omissions and mis- takes stand out, and we remember with regret the day early in the year when a large lecture audience groped its way down an unfamiliar and wind- ing stalrway in utter darkness, while members of our committee hunted frantically for the janitor who was not found, and who alone could turn on the lights, 4 “Then too, we remember the open- ing and closing and again opening and closing of high, heavy windows, with long, unmanageable rods, in well meaning efforts to satisfy those who were in draughts and those who were to warm, and later finding that a modern ventilating system is in good working order and the windows need not be,touched. “wrhese shortcomings and others, may, we think, be fairly charged to the unfamiliar and rather confusing surroundings to which we all have gradually been able to adjust our- selves. “At each meeting something has been done to make the stage attrac- tive, and at our evening meetings es- peclal effort has been made. “Members of the committee have been present cach club day to attend to our prescribed \duties, some of which have been to arrange room and stage before each meeting; to meet and help members and guests; to manage heat and lights; to pass pro- grams and present flowers, and oc- casionally to assist the soclal com- mittee in perving refreshments. “Respectfully submitted, “LETTY H. LEARNED, Chairman. “Club affairs have been given the necessary publicity by our press com- mittee, and Miss Mary Bingham, chairman, submits the following re- port: ~ Report of Press Committee. “The chairman of the press com- mittee desires to state that each meeting of the Woman's club appear- ing on the calendar for the year has been reported by some member of the | committee. The ladies comprising the committee have been very faithful in preparing reports of the meetings and | & have at all times shown an interest in doing any work required of them for the press. “The newspaper reporters have been very courteous in receiving these reports, and have been careful to give them an advantageous position in their columns. “During the year -an additional shept of ‘Social Notes’ has been added fo | the New Britain Herald and thrbugh its columns the activities of the club have received added atten- tion. “The chairman wishes to thank at this time all who have co-operated with her in the work of the press. “Respectfully submitted, “MARY E.

The report of the chair- man, Mrs, Arthur Harrop follows: Report of the Social Committee “The social committee served at only five of the meetings this year. The reason for that was because all meetings were more largely attended than heretofore, and because of the inconveniences of seving. Our largest inconvenience of serving.
