CWrtten Specially for The Builetn) The Rose of New England, how matchlessy fair! None other it's beauty and fragrance may share' If is peerless and priceless, is sweetest and best A Rose among roses, the queen of the rest The Rose of New England it's fragrance how sweet Here all the rare odors commingle and meet; Not alone in the senses the perfume abides, It surcharges soul and the spirit besides.

With the coming of the English tho alarms of Uncas were at an enu' ana after 1859 there seem 10 have been no general attacks upon the Mohegans, although hostile skulking parties some times passed through the settlement.
 The Rev. Mir, Fitch, the pastor ot the church In Norwich. took deep interest in the Indians, mastered their language and preached to them. Among the poorer families Of the Mo- hegans he found willing. listeners, and reioiced over them as over lost chii- dren that had been found" But with the sachems and chiefs Christianity was never popular, although .Uncas gave his promise to attend upon the preaching of Mir. Fitch "at all such seasons as he shall appoint" and % encourage his people in all possinie ways to follow the teaching of MT. Fitch.

During the Indian wars in this vi- cinitv the Indians had destroyed each other, and the place was made ready for the white mans coming. The deed conveying the land upon which was made the settlement of Norwich was signed by "Onkos, Owaneco, Attawan- hood. Sachems of Mohegan," on June 6. 1859. A copy of 1t reads as fol- lows.

THE INDIAN TRIBES
he Pequos Narraganses, Niantics and Mohegans who Ruled this erritory Prior to 1659-The Alliance of the Whites with the Mohesans and the Purchase of the Nine-Mile Square which Called Norwich.

(But the Journal of Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts states explicitly that Uncas led his captive to the Mohegan land between Hartford and Windsor, somewhere in the present East Hart ford or East Windsor.)
 The heap of stones which marked the place of Miantonomo's capture dis appeared m course of time, and in 1S41 was replaced by the monument still standing on Sachem's Plain.
 The Narraeansetts, to avense the death of their saehom, invaded the Mohegan territory in l645, and be- sleged uncas in his fort at Shantof Point, nearly opposite Poquetanuck. How long the siege lasted we do not know, but Uncas and his people were reduced to a starving condition when Lieutenant Thomas Leftlngwell loaded canoe with beef, corn and pease and unde- cover of tho night padded from Say brook into the Thames and had the address to get the whole intn the fort.' In the morning the inmates of the fort raised piece of beef on pole so that i the enemy might see it and know or the relief which had come to them. When the Nara asansetts learned that | the English had come to the aid Of Uncas they abandoned the siege. IL was said that for this assistance OncaS gave LeHlIiBWel uteu " = | part, if not the whole of the town or Norwich. There Is no record of any
 such deed, but it cannot be doubted that such generous help strengthened the friendship of Uncas for the English
 and served to protect Leffingwei ana
 his companions from hostile attack in | later days.
 It was probably through the friend- | ship and acquaintance of Uncas and ' Mafor Mason that fhp DnrcnQge of the nine miles square from the Mohegans
 was brought about Mason says of
 Uncas that he was "a great friend and | did us much service"

SECTION FOUR.

" HERE is a little OF the bohemian
spirit in most of US that makes
the delightfully."- unconventional
studio teas appeal strongly to US as
form OF entertainment, and those given
here during the last few weeks have
been so successful that many are al
ready being planned for the near III
ture.
These studio teas are old-time favor
ties among the hostesses of the east,
who somehow do not keep as strictly
70 the conventional in their entertain
ments as we OF the western cities, do.
The possibilities of these informal teas
are many, and they will be eagerly Wei
coined by hOstesses here this winter.
In most OF the large eastern cities the
studios of the artists are frequently APP
prOpriated by the friends Of the owners,
who drop in for social hour on the
days when the artists keep open house
TO their friends. These teas are really
most exclusive affairs, as none but the
most intimate friends of the artists are
welcome within the studio walls eX-
cept on the days when the studios are
thrown open for public receptions.
The decorations, too, are a change.
The walls hung with beautiful paint
ings and the rich tapestries, which the
artistic nature of even the most i'm
peCuniOus painter seems TO demand as
a part of his dwelling place, really pro-
vide all the decorations that the most
eXaeting could demand, and only few
clusters Of the seasons flowers are used
to bring a touch of nature into the dec
oratiOns. The low tea tables set with
exquisite china with steaming tea
made in the quaint samovars, in true
Oriental style, are a delightful change
from the usual manner of serving the
guests. Those assisting in the serving
are seated on hassocls at either end of
the long table. making a charming pic
ture that satisfies the eve. and fits in
perfectly with the entire setting of the
studio scene.
And the gathering itself is one of
congenial, kindred spirits. so that con-
versation does not lag for need of in
teTesting topics to discuss.
