Junior Work. ‘Willimantic has always had junior work at heart and while there is no Junior circle there.now, Trusting Cir- cle reports four junior girls in its membership. From reading the list I judge that these sir] is are daughters of members of this circle. MMrs. Forbes, county president for rd county, told me that in her circle she has four generations of one family. Isn't that a proper ambition for some. of our circles? and don't let Jewett City get ahead of you in the .of the King’s Sons.

Almost all the circles have changed membership, losing a few and gain- ing just enough to keep their num- ber .even. 1 had to brush up my knowledge of percentage to determine which circle had made the greatest actual gain. Hearsease Circle leads with a gain of 355-9 per cent, with Mizpah of New London with a gain of 3010-33 per cent. Or to express it in another way, Heartsease last year had 14 members and has gained five, making 19. pah last vear had 33 and has gained ten, making 42. Home Chapter gain- ed 11 new members, but of course the per cent. gain was not as great.as in the circles mentioned.
