fortieth nual meeting of the American McAll assoclation, to be held in this city ‘Wednesday and Thursday of next week, 1s one which is centering so- clety's Interest upon New Britain at this time, While the inspiration of the work of this assoclation 1s far deeper than its social aspect, never- theless the standing of the proment women in all parts of the country who are devoting themselves to it is such that its soclal aspect s pleas- antly pronounced. The formal pro- gram, as published in The Herald of Monday, "April 23, barely indicates the outline of the work to be done and the attractiveness of the enter- tainment to be provided under the ac- tive direction of the oMcers of the local Auxiliary, among whom. Miss Yrances Whittiesey, the Misses Cham- berlain, Mrs, Stanley T. Goss and others are prominent, Members of. the Auxillary and friends wil) ' be the hosts to the 150 women who are expected to come as delegates or speakers, and many de- lghtful plans are being made for their ‘entertainment. Of especial in- terest will be' the drive to the his- toric town of Farmington, arranged for Wednesday, to be followed by a pageant at the Shuttle Meadow club to be given by the members of the Children's McAll who have already shown so delightfully their ability to charm and hold spectators of their performances. The first session of the meeting or convention will be held Wednesday morning' in St. Mark’'s Episcopal church, at which time greeting to the delegates will he extended by Mrs. Charles K. Mitchell, the constant in- spiration of the local Auxiliary, with Mrs. Frank B. Kelley, president, re- sponding in their behalf. There will be an afternoon session ‘followed by supper for those who do not wish to return home before the evening meet- ing and for which, most democratical- ly, a small charge will be made, The scene of activities will move to | the South Congregational church in the evening, and will be again at St. Mark's church Thursday morning, at which time officers will be elected and after which the “doMar lunch- eon” for members of the McAll as- soclation will be served. Members of the local Auxiliary who will attend this lungheon are asked to notify Mrs. Stanley T. Goss, 48 Grove Hill, before Tuesday noon. Thursday afternoon the session will close with the pronounc- ing of the benediction by the Rev, George T. Berry. The officers of the New Britain Auxiliary are counting upon the warm ! support not only of the members of ! the Auxiliary but of the other friends! of the organization who realize the splendid character of the work be- ing done in France among the chil- dren who are the wards, in a sense, of the American McAll. . s e Mrs. Clifford I.

Evan the bicycle has come back into its own and is having its share of the spring renaissance. The garden, too, is a most important part of life since it, and the work therein, is such a deep and saitsfying sourc of pelasure to many. And so, as the | more formal gatherings of the winter ! months cease, their place is being rapidly filled by the informal activi- ties of spring and summer. | PP The members of the Business and Much interest is being taken in the annual spring festival concert, which the New Britain Choral club is plan- theater.
