Mrs, Frank M, Smith, leader of Trusting circle of Willimantic, made the response. The secretary, Mrs. ‘Palmer, who is the leader of Charitable circle of this city, read the minutes of the last conference, which were approved. This was followed by Miss Geer's address as county secretary. She spoke of thelr return to theiy first landing place, the Rose of New England, aft- er journeying around the countles, the years having shown growth in num- bers and interest. A point emphasized was the realization of the fact that they were The King’s Daughters, so that the name should always be writ- ten with a capital T, writing it al- ways with reverence and never allow- ing anyone to write or say K. D. for The King’s Daughters, Concluding Miss Geer said: The order is growing everywhere because of harmony, unity and earn. tess. .

As King's Daughters, shall we disap- point him? Opportunity may not come for great service, but it will come for good, and let us ask the question, “Lord, what wilt thou have me ao?” Symposium on Seven Questions. A melodiously rendered alto solo, Oh, That I Had Wings Like a Dove, Dby Mrs. Frederie S. Young of Grace circle, was_ followed by a symposfum cenducted by Miss Eva L. Hudson of St. James circle, New London_who is state recording secertary. Seven questions, as follows, were answered in a bright and original way that made this part of the programme very in- structive: 5 1. How can {nterest be aroused and maintained in a eircle which is in a way indjfferent? 2. How can a circle best work, in His name, when its members are in aifferent towns? 3.

State Treasurer Speaks of Methods. “Here and There in. the Order” forméd the subject of an address by State Treasurcr Miss H. L -Eaton of Hartford, in which she spoke of the observance of Mother's day in Hart- ford, when the King’s Daughters se- cured offerings at the doors of the churches amounting to $400 for a fund for a home which now totals $3,000. She spoke of a° Massachusetts co- operative sales company ty which the King's Daughters could easily get fi- nanclal returns for cast-off. clothing: Taking up outside work, Miss Eaton advanced the thought that the order was surely a misslonary organization through 1ts extension, to foreign lands as instanced -by so many circles in mission schools in the lands. in s entertalning way she told of | ters to the pastor and the church. | 6. Should the officers of a circle be | changed frequently? | 6. Is it better to have fixed times for meeting or at the call of the lead- ers? How often should a circle meet- ing be held to effect the best results? Question No. 4 relating to the re- lation of the King's Daughters to the pastor and the church was answered by Dr. M. S. Kaufman by invitation. He teld the delegates that he had been fmpressed by the expression that it was not enough to be good, but one must do good. There is not much good done in the world except by those who are good. The order can be. of se .to avold stirring up difficulties, coking to produce harmony, not’dis- cord,, Ic was en inspiration from heaven to Mrs. Bottome to organize this soclety for Christian seryice. Fach ong should be as Christlike as possi- tle and manifest it in noble deeds, go- ing about doing good and be just ai vseful to this world as we are capa- ble of becoming.

The hall was completely filled,, there being about 850 In attendance, and the applause accorded the enter- tainers was spontaneous and well de- served. C. Gilbert, the world's cham- plon pole vaulter’' of Yale, was the headliner, and his clever presentation of feats of sleight of hand caught the audience. He keeps his audience not only interested in his feats but com- mands their attention by his interest- ing talk in explanation of his sub- jects. For two hours the audience gazed in amazement at the masterly manipulation. His card, clock, rings and double handcuff tricks were all cleverly done, and he had the capable assistancce of Chester de Vere, whose billlard ball manipulation is his strong teature, and one which is particularly well done, although all of his illusions were fine. Mr. Gilbert has been with all the leading magicians, and has a line of tricks which are all of a high class and executed with ease and pre- cislon. Mr. Gilbert has traveled ex- tensively on both continents, and man- ufactores all the apparatus he uses In Ms tricks. He is now finishing a med- ical course at Yale, but intends to en- ter upon the manufacture of magi- clans’ goods.

All Graves Should Be Decorated. At the close of the last missionary meeting of the Congregational church an informal meeting was held, during which the decoration of the soldiers’ graves was mentioned, One present 89id that her attention was “called to the subject of the scanty decoration of the graves by an article in The Bul- letin twe or three years ago. The feeling of those present was voiced when she sald that the day was estab- lished for the purpose of decorating the soldlers’ graves. It seems all wrong that the contrast should be $o great between those graves and oth- crs completely covered with choice flowers.
