Eastern Connecticut Association Ad- dressed by Miss Purington, Dean of the College—Officers Re-electe: There as a large attendance of the Mt. Holyoke alumnae and their friends at the annual meeting of the Eastern Connecticut Mt. Holyoke association, which was held at 3 o'clock on Tues- day afternoon at the Norwich club house. The president of the associa- tion, Mrs. A. N. H. Vaughn, presided at the business meeting. The same officers were re-elected for the coming year. Miss Mary Avery, secretary, gave a short review of the work of this association durlng the seven years since its formation. After the business meeting, Mrs. Vaughn introduced her classmate, Miss_ Florence J. Purington, dean of Mt. Holyoke c&lefn Miss Purington said: There are 760 students this year at Mt. Holyoke, It is necessary to apply two years ahead to get a room on the campus. They turn down sev- eral hundred applications each year. Three new buildi have been added to the campus this last year—a pres- ident’s house, a much needed music building, and Peterson lodge—a home for retired members of the faculty. President Wooley puts much stress upon phyical tralning and matters re- lating to health. Lecturers of eminence upon this subject are secured. One interesting sight is the group of stu- dent horseback riders starting for their daily exercise, The dramatic talent of the college is gathered into one club, the number of members being limited to 50. The result is that very effec- tive work is done along these lines. The Christmas concert is wonderful and one of the features of the year. Carols dating from the sixteenth cen- tury to the present time are used by the choir. The college settlement chapter Is very active. They have fine lecturers. Their work is at the Skinner coffee house in the city of Holyoke. This last summer they planned a summer home for the mill and shop girls, some of whom had never had a vacation be- fore. The trend of the colwse is now toward directed, guided work instead of so much elective work. Many of the scholars think of college life rath- er than of scholarship and the prep- aration which it gives for service in the world. Mary Lyon stood for not the best scholarship but for the truest and noblest character, The formal meeting closed with the singing of “Holyoke,” with Miss Wood- ward at the piano. The City Collega club was present and after the address joined in the social hour that followed. EXPECTED THAT 90,000 STAMPS WILL BE SOLD Many Large Sales Recently and More Coming. The sale of Red Cross stamps in the anti-tuberculosis fight began Decem- ber 1, but it seems as if the people were only just beginning to sell them as new enthusiasm is aroused each day, said Mrs. William C. Lanman, the local secretary, on Tuesday afternoon. Without all the returns it, it seem certain that the goal of 90,000 stamps to be sold will be reached, and there will vet be comsiderable additions to the fund by January 1. The latest new plan to swell the fund is an aft- ernoon card party to be given at the Haile club rooms this week under the direction of Mrs. F. L. Farrell. It is to be for both whist and bridge and the plans will make it an exceedingly pretty affair. Recent sales are the followin; orwich, John Troland, Adams P. Carroll, Frank H.

Conference of Degree Followed by Sup- per and Organ Recital—Officers Re- electt The annual meeting of the Actual Past Masters’ assoclation of New Lon- don county was held in Masonic tem- ple, thig city, on Tuesday afternoon and evening. The session opened at 4 o'clock with President 8. Howard Mead presiding. The business of the asso- clation was first enacted, there being the reports of secretary and treasurer, which were approved. The conference of the actual past masters’ degres was in char of Most Worshipful Past Grand Master George A. Kies and an able corps of assistants. The work was completed so that the thirty-five re- tired to the banquet hall at 6.30 for supper, served by the Wauregan house, th election of officers having resulted in the selection of the same ones for the emuhg year, as follows: Presi- dent, S oward Mead, of Norwich; vice president, Thomas McKenszie, Pawcatuck; treasurer, John N.

Following the supper there was an organ recital in the asylum of Colum- blan Commandery by F. W. Lester, and it proved a delightful affair, the organ numbers being given with the custom- ary skill of the well known organist, which drew forth much applause, and a number of encores were demanded. The Temple quartette assisted in the pro- gramme, and their two numbers call- Qd forth others. The solo numbers of James B. Jackson and Louis A. Wheel- er were finely sung, and they were obliged to respond to insistent encores. Organist Lester received much praisc for the delightful hour, the programme being as follows: Roman March of Gounod.

One on Tuesd; ous Ses: On Tuesday the board of county commissioners granted a license to W. C. Smith of Sprague. At a previous session here they granted licenses to the following: D. O'Connell & Co., 43 West Maln street; John J. O'Nell, 14 Hickory street; William . Callahan, 3 Sherman street: John B. Cyr. 467 North Main street: Henry J. Kilroy, West Town street; Edward C. Madden, 184 Franklin street. ‘There was also a hnrlnx before the board on the remonstrance against the application of Christopher Krauss for a liquor license near the new weave shed of the Ponemah company. It was opposed by the company because it will be so near the weave shed as to have a bad effect upon the help. There is no other within a quarter of a mile. It was thought it would draw the em- ployes during the noon hour and make them unfit for work the rest of the day. Mr. Eccles stated that about 400 would be employed in the weave shed and it was proposed as soon as the weave shed is in operation to have work started on other buildings there which would require 400 more em- ployes. They did not oppose the license on the grounds that Mr. Krauss was an unsuitable man or that he didn't keep a good place, but because of the effect it would have upon the help. It was sald that he is orderly and not a law- bremker and keeps his saloon all right. but it would be detrimental to the mill and another location would not be op- osed. ‘The commissioners reserved their de- clsion. Boynton Home Burned. The house of O, F. Boynton at Gard- ner Lake was burned to the ground on Thursday of last week.
