 The twenty-third anniversary of the East Pearl Street Chautauqua circle was celebrated Wednesday evening in the parlors of the East Pearl Street M. E. church, which were decorated with roses, daisies, syringas and ferns. This circle is the oldest in the city and has about twenty-five members. During the seasons work credits are given for attendance as well as for studies. It has become the custom tor the half of the class having the least credits to prepare an entertainment of some sort for the conclusion of the season. Last year it was in the form of an outing to the shore; this year it took the form of a banquet and entertainment at the church. After a delicious supper Mrs. Jennie F. Robinson, president of the circle, was called upon for class hts- tory, which was replete with interest ing facts and witticisms. A class prophecy by Ernest Cooper and class poem by E. c. Hill proved very enter taining. Other numbers on the pro- gramme included violin solo by Miss Grace Bristol, accompanied by Miss Harriet Bristol; vocal solos by Miss Belle Slater and piano solo by Miss Sa- die Cooper. All the selections were very much enjoyed. The members of the victorious half of the circle were each the recipient of a souvenir of the occa- sion. Rev. E. c. Tullar, in making the presentation, had neat little speech for each one. Mrs. Robinson, the pres- ident, was specially remembered by the circle, receiving two books. Among other guests were Rev. and Mrs. Ham, mond, of West Haven: Rev. A. G. Boynton and members of the Walling- ford circle, and Miss Griggs, the new deaconess of this church. Brief ad- dresses were given by Rev. Messrs. Hammond and Boynton. At this meet ing Miss Etta Avery, of East Pearl street, was appointed delegate to the assembly at Chautauqua and Mrs. E. e. Hnl as alternate. There were over sixty people present and 1t was a most successful and pleasurable affair The entertaining class consisted of Mrs. H. I.
