The naval men, it was said, left their station at 1 o'clock this morning on a test flight.

The mem- bers of the lodge have extended an in- vitation to. the members of Obwebe- tuck lodge No. 16, who joined them in the fun-making in the evening. A short entertainment had bLeen ar- raiged, Miss Celia Israel played two selections on the piano, the selections being Apple’ Blossoms and Mendel- ssohn’s Song Without Words. She was warmly applauded. Mrs, H. C. Bee- be was next on the programme and gave three recitations, The Night Af- ter Christmas, The Freanchman's Ver- sion, and An Essay on Geese. After the entertainment the mem- bers of the Rebeccas and their friends gathered about a large Christmas tree that had been erected in the center of the hall, and the presents that had been hanging on the tree were taken off and a number attached to them was called out. Ag the numbers were called one of those present announced that he or she had the tag that cor- responded and the present was hand- ed over to them to be opened. As the presents had been purchased for a sum not to exceed ten cents, the gifts received were the cause of much laughter, men received gifts that would be better appreciated by mem- bers of the opposite sex, and the wo- men received gifts that could have been put to better use by the men. gFollowing the handing out of gifts, which took about an hour ,the mem- bers were served coffee and wafers by the entertainment committee. The affair which was in every way a suc- cess, was planned by the following committee from the Violet Lodge, chairman, Miss Sadie Curley, Mrs. C. E. Lovett, Mrs. Z. Y. Mathieu, Mrs. W. E. Elliott, and M . H. Deebe. After about three weeks, only son of Mr. and Mrs. John M. Ga- ger of 350 Windham road, came to its end late Thursday night at St. Jo- seph’s hospital.

Considerable interest was aroused in this city Thursday night when au- tomobile parties arriving here told of seeing a new Nash touring car bottom side up, on the bank at Cooley Hill, Jjust south of Willimantic. The driver of the automobile had evidently lost control of his car while going down the hill and ag there were no chains on the tires he skiddeq to the side of the road and striking the bank went over with his car. It is understood that the driver of the automobile es- caped with no bruises other than a sprained ankle. Sinde the weather man made the sliding good in this city, the sliders have made their appearance on the hills of thehdly. In order to make it fe the sliding parties, Mayor S Al Gates set aside Windham and Elm streets for the use of the sledding parties and one of the mem- bers of the police force has been de- tailed to this street to safeguard all concerned.

Of all the mail that had been handled at the postoffice during the past few days | there were but four parcels that eould not be delivered owing to the loss of the 'sender’s name and the name of the person to whom it had been mail- ed. The delivery man used an auto | truck to make his deliveries this year | jand if the old method of delivering by | horse and wagon had been used many people would still be waiting for their presents from friends in other cities.
