 We know you have given time and energy ungrudgingly or those socials could not have been so successful and so We the New Haven Haven Gales donlan women" feeling that words of ,thankfulness were very weak indeed have brought with us something more lasting, hoping that 1t will express our feelings more forcibly.
 We have here the picture of the fa- nous charge at Balaclava, so beauti- fully portrayed, by which We now take | erra ,,1a i,,, "a +Ia
 Haven Caledonian club.
 So beautiful and so true is this work of art that we can almost imagine that We are with those heroes hearing the elang of the horses hoofs and the cry of Scotland forever" ringing out sharp ly on the air, that cry which cheereG them on and helped them to do theil best for the glory of their native land
 We feel that it is something to be proud of that this society has been 1T existence for quarter of a century. May this year prove to be but the dawning of a glorious future for tht
 New Haven Caledonian club.
 We know your minds are all aglov with the possibilities of the future o this society and our earnest wish i!
 that your success may exceed your ex
 pectations.
 We are glad you have given us tht
 privilege of making a few remarks here tonight, for We can now express oul appreciation of the many enjoyabl,
 times we have had at the various gath erings held under the auspices of youl society.
 We have always felt your kindly vel come and have been perfectly at home among you.
 I hope that the ladies will not fee | jealous when I claim that man haI | earned for himself the title of new, | which heretofore has been given st
 exclusively to woman, I have said tha no two writers agree as to what wt | must expect this "new woman" to be and yet one cannot but see that there | is a sentiment in the minds of those l people which says very plainly that any woman who is interested in anything | outside of her household duties shall bt called a thew woman."
 l I am glad that those writers art able to harmonize on any one point ever ] Il IL lS Clliy dlt uliWilItSl SSUliuleilt | We, the ladies of the ''New Havel
 Caledonian club wish to be new Wo men for tonight at least, for we ar, l all interested in the twenty y-fifth ami versary of the New Haven Caledonial
 club and offer you our hearty con 1 gratulations.
 1 You have probably noticed that n 1.-two writers agree as to what we mus expect from this new creature | I admit that womens ideas ar 1 changing; we cannot have progression 1 without changes.
 But I do not feel that it would b l quite right to claim all the honors il
 the line of progression for woman, a
 it is very evident that the ideas of maj 1 are undergoing as radical a change a 1 those of the modern woman. l I remember when but a small chill
 of an old lady telling me some ex periences of her girlhood. She ha lived on a farm and the idea of givin a girl liberal education had nc reached that part of the country wher sine lived.
 She said the women and girls wer expected to do all the housework an some of the field work also; when the
 had finished a. good days work an
 were very tired, they would sit dow and do some knitting or sewing just b | WAY of resting
