not eligible 10 reelection so there is
always & complete change each year.
Mrs NJ. b. Nash was made regent Of
the chapter, succeeding Mrs. Sol
Vaughan. who has filled the Office so
oapably. Mrs. Hubbard 5. Wells
was elected vice regent Mrs. Eli
Boone was made secretary. succeeding
Mrs. II. $. Wells who has been so
efficient; Mrs. Warwick NJ Cowgirl
was elected treasurer; Mrs George G
Thompson. historian, and Miss
Emily Morrow. registrar. The new
officers are all admirable choices and
will prove worthy successors Of those
who guided the chapter 80 well last
year. The business session having
been unusually prolonged, the literary
work which is such a pleasant feature
Of this winter was somewhat cur
tailed. A delightful paper on "the
Planting Of New England" was read
by Mrs. Warwick NJ. Cowgirl. Mrs
Hubbard Wells paper on Leading
Men Of New England" was unavoid-
ably omitted, however, which occas-
toned regret as Mrs Wells is always
Of interest.

will be with Mrs Armour Gardner
at the Palmer House on the first Tues.
day in January.
