The delightfully."- historic Trumbull
house which has been so much visited
by lovers of the antique, was beauti-
fully in keeping with the spirit of the
afternoon. Even the last rose Of sum-
mer was there a single glorious pink
blossom which seemed to have opened
for the day. 1t stood in simple vase
on the old sDinet and lent its little
glow to the reception room.
Miss Trumbull received in the old
court room Each guest added her
= signature to the interesting book kept
for the purpose. During the afternoon
a steel engraving of the Declaration of
Independence was inspected as one of
the newer curios that the house con-
tains. The original painting was by
John Trumbull. a connection of the
family. The engraver was A. B.
Durant. Accompanying the picture is a
smaller framed copy of the signatures
originally attached to the Declaration
of Independence.
Another addition to the odd collec-
tions in the Trumbull mansion is the
latch that was on the door of the Rufus
putnam house in Rutland. This house
was built by Col. John Murray, the
Tory. a collateral relative of the
Trumbulls. Senator Hoar gave the
latch to Miss Trumbull and it is now
in use on the door of the back kitchen,
quaint little room.
