Was Feature of Social Side of Regu- lar Mesting. 2 The Xens soclety held its regular meeting Friday evening with a good attendance. The president,. Mrs, John B. Oat, presided. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Harry Howard. Three members were ad- mitted to membership, The annual picnic was discussed, and it was voted that suggestions for places would be brought to the next meeting. _ After adjournment a “Magazine” evening in charge of Miss Elizabeth Park of the entertainment committee, was greatly enjoyed. The _editorial department under John B. O&t made the members alive to the fact .that the ‘magazine was to be one of the best Mr. Oat with much pride, just call- ed ‘attention to the cover design of the so called Xens' magazine which was most omate and which he said cost $1,000. The editorials were per- tinent to the society’'s Interest and showed plainly thta in Mr. Oat's hands that department met all demands re- quired of it. In “That Reniinds Me,” page, dem- onstrated the fact that Mrs. Herbert Willey’s bump of humor was with her every minute and all jokes on the so- ciety’s members were seen and care. fully hoarded, evidently for the Xens' magazine. The page of poetry was cared for by the Xens' poetess, Mrs. Avery Park, in her best form she gracefully responded to an encore. Mrs, William Gilchrist in her selec- tions of both humorous and grave, made the short story pages the usual popular ones of a magazine.. Although each and every depart- ment of a magazine is eagerly read, possibly the fashion receives the great. est_attention, Walter M. Cowan, well known as a connoisseur in all’ that pertains to fashions, edited this. department. In his talk Mr. Cowan said he thought his reputation as a designer of cos- tumes, began in the Xens’ society, but tht he was now well known all over this country, and modestly added, probably all over the other countries. He gave the history of dress down through the ages to the present time, with graphic predictions into the fu- ture, handling the subject so deftly as fo far outdistance either Paquin or Worth and could give points to even Mrs, ‘Duff Gordon. The socleety was fortunate to have Madame Roser, a member of the committee, with them to care for the culinary sheet of their new magazine, Mrs. Roser used as a demeonstration, her excellent recipe for “Welch Rarebit” giving a short talk upon the virtues of the ingredients used. h She was assisted in making and serving by Mrs. Harry Heward, and Mrs. Samuel Billings.

Following the opening selection by the choir, Rev. E. S. Worcester, the pastor, read the scripture lesson from the second chapter of Titus and offered prayer. James L. Case, president of the Young Men’s Christian associa- tion spoke of the founding of the Y. M. C. A. in Norwich in 1875 and the very successful year just passed. General Secretary Hill's Report. General Secretary Edwin Hill of the Norwich association then gave a brief review of his annual report which ho presented at the annual meeting of the assoclation last Wednesday even- ing and which In full is as follow: I esteem it a privilege to render to you my first annual report as your | general secretary. During the eight months of my official connection with this association I have greatly enjoyed the friendship and fellowship of you all and I cannot put into words my deep feelings of gratitude for the uni- form courtesy and kindness shown me, First of all I thank the Heavenly Father for his unfailing goodness to us and to the work, for surely we have been conscious of his favor; then I have been greatly encouraged by the consecrated co-operation of the presi- dent and directors, and' I wish that our mambers might ever bear in mind the debt of gratitude we all owe to these faithful men who give of their time, thelr money and themselves for the young men and boys of our com munity. We are constantly reminded of unselfishness by the spirit mani fested on the part of the good women of the auxiliary who have so gladly responded te the many calls for ser- vice and with ene accord we extend to them our tribute of praise, Three 8ides of Man's Nature, ‘While we eannot claim perfeetion for the work during the year just closed, we believe the resuits have been such as t6 merit the approval of the large number of friends who have All along the line of 'the railroads, trees are noticed covered with webs of caterpillars.

Physical Department. The physical work has been of a high order, and those who have been Tegular in exercises show splendid de- velopment; the work given in the gymnasium has been such as to devel- op symetrically the various muscles of the body thereby fitting those thus developed to better fight the battle of life. The different games in the gymnasium have been greatly enjoy- ed by those participating and the splendid Laurel Hill basketball team furnished pleasure to hundreds on several occasions. It is earnestly hoped that many who neglected the splendid opportunity offered by the physical department will, during the coming year, avall themselves of this real privilege and thereby perform their duty toward the development of their bodies.

Let our motto be Co-operation, de- termination, enthusiasm. To Those Who Have Helped. One of the mest practical improve- ments in the building was mede pos- sible by the ladies of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, who most generously contributed a beautiful sanitary drinking fountain for the 19b- by. I desire to thank the members of the employed force for their faithful- ness to duty and what success we hav had s due !n no small measure to their honest service. One of the pleasant things has been the cordial co-opera- tion of the minis s of the city, and we gratefully hearty thanks for their services dur- ing the year, The newspapers eof the eity have t part in keeping preciate the help they have given u and extend to the editors and repert. ers our sincere thanks. To every in- dividual who has in any way assisted us during the year we desire to ex- press eur I.np!e(fletlwl\. and it will be our constamt aim' to so conduct the work as to merit the suppert and co- .operation of all the people of the com- munity. . For the Future. ' ‘We are tonight standing on a thresh- hold between a yvear of service ren- dered and a year of unknown duties and privileges; that these will be many and large no ene can doubt. The question is, Will we measure up to the expectations of Him whose we are and whom we serve? We certainly wilp if we, just now, catch the vision in of its breadth of pessibility, remem- bering that every young man and boy in Norwich is included in our field of endeavor and has a right to claim our friendship, our love and our service, and our aim must be to influence them to follow the Man of Nazareth who alone is worthy to be followed and who alone is competent to lead. Fred W. Smith Spoke. Following a hymn, President Case ntroduced Fred W. Smith of New York city who made a brief address on the merits of the Y. M. C.

He eall- ed attention to five of the facters to which the e eclency of the Y. M.

Mr. Handle- man and John Murphy tore off his collar and his clothing around his neck, carrying him to the grass by the side of the road. Many jumped from the car to give help and Judge Buell was asked to take the man to the hos- pital but declined according to Mr. Handleman. ; A telephone message to the hospital was sent from a neighboring house and the automobile ambulance responded, taking the injured man to the hospital for immediate treatment. It was stated to those who inquired for the family Sunday evening the X-ray would have to be used before the full extent of the young man's in- juries could be determined.” Judge Buell, who had three ladies in the ma- chine with him accompanied the auto ambulance to the hospital. <and.
