Echoes from Netre Dame.
AIumnae Biennial Rcaniou.


 There were many happy greetings and world of good cheer at Netre Dame Academy Monday, when the hi- ennial reunion of the Alumnae associa- ton was held. Forty eight graduates and former students ef the Academy returned for the event and enjoyed a delightful day.
 High mass, with Rev. ]. .. Dolan of Milford celebrant, marked the opening of the programme arranged for the day, the visitors and students attend. ing in body. Recreation, an ex- change of "reminiscences and exchange of stories of their careers since leaving their beloved school filled in the hours until the time for the banquet. This was a pretty and very enjoyable fea- ture. The boarders' dining hall, where the banquet was served, was prettily decorated with the papal colers. The members of the association marched to the room class by class, the seniors of the group having been graduated in 1878. Miss Maysie ford of Cambridge, president of the association, presided as teastmistress al the nostpfandial ex. ereises, during which the following alumnae responded to the indicated toasts: The Convent Girl in Society, Miss C. Hazel Edes, Boston; The Con. vent Girl in Business, Miss Anna Me- Kenna, New York; The Convent Girl as Teacher, Miss Helen r. brennan, Middletown. It was with pleasure that Rev. Father Dolan, Father Van den Noort and Rev. Father Dykeman were heard. Father Dolan's address, which dealt generally with the great good that women have done and are doing, was particularly pleasing.
 The business session during the after noon for discussion of association af. fairs and the election of officers for two years, resulted in the selection of the following board;
