It was the most large- ly attérided confefence in- years, one hundred and twentysseven answering to the roll call. - The decorations of iris, liles and snowballs were very attractive. The county president, Mrs. George Prior of Jewett City, presided. Rev. Charles H. Ricketts, ‘pastor of the chirch, con- dneted ‘the devotional service, reading the Scripture from the fifth chapter of Second Curinthians. His talk was based on the words We are ambassadors for Christ. Mrs. C. D. Foster, leader of the entertaining wircle, Euphemian Cir- cle; gave a most cordial welcome. Mrs. 1da Bragaw of New London, responded, saying we need these conferences for the exchange of ideas .and renewal of en- thusiasm and vigor in the work. Do your best loyally and cheerfully and cuffer yoursclves to feel mo anxiety or fear. Your times are in God's hands. He has assigned<you your place. He will direct your paths. He will accept your efforts if they be faithful. He will bless your aims if they be for your soul's zood. Cemmittes on Resolutions. The minutes of the last conference were read by the secretary, Mrs. E. H. Hiscox, and accepted. Mrs. Prior ap- pointed as committee on resolutions Mrs. Charles Hagberg of Norwich, Mrs. Ed- ward Cady of Oxford, and Mrs. Helen E.- Brown of Willimantic. Mrs. L. G. Buckingham of Jewett City sang The Lord 1s My Shepherd by Van de Water, Miss Letitia Kramer being -the occom- panist. Mrs. J. W. Dean of New London gave a talk on the Use of Literature in the Circles. A part of the cirele reports were read. Presidont’s Annual Report, Tnaer the title 6f How to Become an Expert, the president, Mrs. Prior, gave her annual report as follows: Three weeks ago I went to a board meeting at Hartford. My experiences going and coming would amuse you it had fime to relate them. When my mind had settled after cyclonic dashes over country roads and a sprinting match through the station subway, I found an article in g current magaziné which interested me. It did not refer in any to The Kir§'s Daughters’ work; in , it referred, altogether to worldly prosperity. My mind having been cen- tered on our order for most of the day, I applied one paragrapgh In this article to religious work in general and The King's Daughters’ work in particular. T will_quote the paragrash. Anyone who really excels in in a par- tieular lines -is made by the slow pro- cesses of experience and industry. Some have greater natural endowments than others, some learn faster than others, but no one can beat the law which or- dains that skill comes from ability, plus study, interest and practice.” | The dictionary says an expert is who is skilled through practice or perience. Then one skilled in the work of ordér might truthfully be called an pert King's Daughter. T am going to mention a few lines alongz which the circles of Eastern Con- necticut have become or may become ex- perts. - We are looking for experts in making out lists and_remitting dues. Last year the King's Bluebirds came flying into my hands the 20th day of December. Through nobody's fault there was a nec- essary delay in sending out the blanks, so this year all the circles were a little late about getting the blanks in, hut they have all returmed promptly. ' The Barn- ‘est Workers of East Thompson ware the first to respond with Mizpah of Putnam second. Then the rivals, Comfort Circle of Norwich and The King's Bluehirds of ‘Norwich. Last year the record of these one ex- our ex- |'ful conference last citcles were almost exactly revised. So |four historical societies, The New Eng- you see they are always front line cir-|land Society, Sons of the American Rev-| cles. The delay of some of the circles is due to-he time of holding the annual meeting.” Kach circle determines its own date for that meetin; The location of circles and their mem- bership is an old Story to me but I am asked so many questfons about them that 1 will emanate thém for you once miore. These who have been in the work a long time will miss some of the old names aud welcome the new. Those new to the work may feel an interest to know where there co-workers are located. There are 22 circles besides an inde- pendent list. We will begin at the north- eastern ccrner of Connecticut, With Mast Thompson where we had such a delight- year. There, Wwith the hall as their center we find the Earnest Workers With a mem- bership of 29. They are 31 years old, and while they have outside objects to which they contribute, their greatest work has been for their own heme town. Their work is quite different from any other cirele under my jurisdiction but is more like Miss Alden’s circle at Moodus where a community spirit prevails. At Putnam we find two circles, Burden Bearers, with 11 members and AMizpah with 17 members. Burden-Bearers is the oldest circle in Windham county having been formed in 188S. They have Kkept alive because they have béen too busy to die. Just now their new line of work is assisting a boys' work in their ehurch. 1 have talked so much Mizpah Circle I will only remind you that they have increasets their membership by one this year as they have dome fcr the last five years and they are looking forward to the summer which will bring their one meeting of the year. In Willimantic we find Prayer Circle numbering 14 and Trusting Circle n :fi bering 35. Their activities circle arou the Card Home for the aged. We hope to have a closer view of their work next spring. ¢ One other circle in Windham county is the Cheerful Deers of Central Village which numbers 29 members this year. They are a great help to their church and their pastor—who is a very ener- getic woman—is a member of their circ Jewett City has three circles the Dor. eas with 45 members, the Whatsoever with 48 members and a new litde Juniox circle of 7 members who are called the Pathfinders. Greenville has lost two circles during the past year—the Loyal Finders ‘and the Heartsease, but it still has three left. The Kupheniian with 35 members, King’s Bluebirds, , 11 members, Rainbow Junior, 7 members. reene- ville Congregational chureh, its pastor, and its King’s Daughters circles mes great deal to this section of Norw which has a strong ecommunity fes its own. In Norwich proper we find six circles all interested in the hospital, ‘the cit mission, the Salvation Army and other lccal charities. Charitable Circle is the oldest. It is twin to Burden Bearers, Putmam, founded in 1883 and it has 231 members. The largest' is the Home Chapter with 152 members and still they are cothing. Comfort Circle ha mem bers; ‘Grace Cirele. 24, Loyal Circle 2 and the uptown circle, the Ever Read has 21 members. The muscles of the Every Ready members are most clastic just at present for this is the month they hang May baskets. Colchester has the Circle of Happy Days with eight members. Their name, lgiven them by Mrs. Evans, ouzht to al. ways continue as an evidence of her beautiful thoughts There are three New London circles, Friendship, forfy members, Mizpah, forty-one members and the St. James' circle whose membership is the sum of the other two circles, S1.

She had done tonsorial work for him in January, 1920, and said he seemed all right mentally and gave her advice about some building repairs she was having done. She ti tified that she shaved him and cut hi hair on the day he was married to his housekeeper. He did not mention that he was to be married but said there was going to be a little party at the house. She learned he had beeh married by see- ing it in the paper thé next morning and when she congratulated him he said he ought to have done it before. He appeared in good, physical and mental econdition ¥ afid appearcd contented and happy, SHOWER 1S GIVEN AT SHETUCKET WELFARE ROOMS A miscellaneous shower was given at noon Wédnesday at the welfare rooms | of the Shetucket Co., to Mrs. Rose La Pradé, head spinner at mill, who is to be marri neer, James Johnson. A table in the center of the dining room was decorated with flowers and a cake on which were bride and groom dolls. - Small cards with different sayings weré tled to each article and the gifts were tied to the chairs with white rib- on June 15, to the engi- e | ben. Dinner hour at the Shetucket welfare ooms’ iy always considered 4 jolly one, but tiifs’ will be remembered for some time g8-fhe jolliest ever. With “best wished” the bride and sroom-tc-be were ariven out of the dininz room into the dance halt amid a rainsterm of confetti. The plans were made in such a short time that it was not only a surprise to Mrs. La Prade and Mr. Johnson but to many who sat théir meals with them' at noon tfme. The balance of the noon hour was spent in dancing and general merriment. —— sy HAS PURCHASER FOR GUILFORD TROLLEY TRACTS Application has been made to the su- perior court by Receiver Roheft W.
