 Housatonic Valley Pomona Grange, There were 269 people from out of town present, 119 fifth degree mem- bers. Many who were not fifth degree members. Also visitors from New York, Ohio, New Haven, Bridgeport and Washington, D. c. A class of 19 were instructed in the fifth degree. The fifth degree initiatory exercises were given by Worthy Master of Hou- satenic Valley Pomona, No. 10, Broth CT Gilbert Vincent of Kent. After the close of the exercises and business of the forenoon, all assembled in Grange dining room where bOuntiful repast awaited them, prepared by the Sisters. After all were plentifully supplied with the good things, all gathered in the Congregational church to listen to the lecturers hour, which was opened with a song, America" Worthy State Master, o. S. Wood, was given, his subject being on "WOman and Man Suffrage," his opinion being that no woman can ill the place of a man, and no man can take the place of woman. Each one was born for his or her vocation. He said much more that was very interesting. Next they listened to an interesting paper on "GrasS", by the Worthy Master of Housatonic Valley Pomona Grange, Brother Gilbert Vincent of Kent. Among the many instructive remarks he made was that he had found some- thing better than grass when he came to Warren and that was that he know that the Warren sisters could cook and make good rye bread, and if he was single or even a grass widower he would surely look up the her for wife if he could. In the ab- sence of Prof Phelps, his paper on "Grass" was read by the Worthy Lee turer. The quartet from Amenia Union Grange rendered some beauti- full selections, also Sister c. A. Vim cent of Kent and Sister Marvin of Wichita fav ored the audience with some music which did much credit to the singers. There was also a drama,
 1.-The 2Oth Century Woman" which was very amusing and interesting. The characters were taken by Broth CT and Sister Warehouse of Amenia, Sister Warehouse of Sharon, Sister Walder of Poughkeepsie and Sister Schnell of Wichita. A recitation was most beautifully rendered by Mrs U AoANAo SoA VCA OA AOlCUO, oss "llO lS one of the finest elocutionists of the day. Subject, 1.-The New Singer and the old one." She was encored and then she showed "How an old Bache- Tor sews on buttons," which was very amusing. Numerous other speeches and readings were listened to, after which the exercises were closed with 9 song: Large delegations from the following Oranges were present: Bridgewater, Kent, Aspetuck Valley, Sharon, Taghannock, Silverlake, Cornwall, Cannan, Washington, Litchfeld, Milton and Goshen. In the name of the Master of Wichita Grange, Brother F. P. Johnson, we wish to thank all for their kind at- tendance, and most especially do we extend our heartiest Congratulations and best wishes for the welfare of the Worthy State Master, Brother O. s. Wood, who felt interested enough in Warren to visit us. Long may he live and long live the Grange, is our wish
