Miss Julia Smith presided at meet ing of parties interested in the forma- Vtion of a local historical society which was held in the juvenile library de- pertinent in the Memorial oullolns' Mss Smith is the prime mover In the project and she explained In detail the need and benefit of such an organ ization In Westerly. Among those Wno were invited to give their views on the subject was Ethan Wilcox. librarian emeritus of the Westerly public liDra- ry. He told of the early formation of the Pawcatuck Valley Historical so- ciety, of which he was secretary, ana which was never formally abandoned, and of his individual efforts in carry ing on the objects of that organlza- ton. He had been for many years collecting for preservation documents and articles of local and general his- torical interest. AS result the west erly library is now rich with artlcles of historic value and nucleus Tor museum that was sure to materia1ze in the years to come. It could not be expected that the collection in the H. brary would be given into the custody of any historical society or that the H. brary association would discontinue the collection of articles of historic value for preservation.
 MT. Wilcox said his preference was q continuation of the plan of the libra " association, so far as went the col lection and preservation of articles Of historic interest, rather than an his torical society plan, for in the library the articles would be on exhibition on every weekday and evening, while in historical society the exhibition would De chiefly for the benefit of members He did not wish to be misunderstood As being opposed to the formation of an historical society, for he was not and would be glad to be enrolled in the membership.
 Librarian Joseph L. Peacock said he endorsed in a general way the senti- ment expressed by MT. Wilcox and encouraged the formation of a his torical society along the lines sug- gested, and believed the Memorial building a proper place for the head quarters of the society. He thought accommodations could be furnished for meeting purposes, and in time perma- nent quarters in the second story of the building. He said that perhaps the two Grand Army posts, with sep crate quarters in the building, might be consolidated, and then permanent quarters could be furnished the his torical society.
 Thomas Perry also spoke favorable to the formation of a society and made motion, which prevailed, that Miss Smith appoint a committee of i've to draft a constitution and by laws and make report to a meeting to be held Jan. 14. Miss Smith appointed as that committee the following:, Rev Joseph L. Peacock, Rev. Samuel M. Cathcart, Mrs. Frederick c. Buffum, Mrs. Thomas Perry and Mrs. Edward M.

Where Is the Blame?

, Was your mother a failure in life
compared to your grandmother?
How would grandma do if she had
to live as you do now?
You take a bath every day;
grandma was considered a trif1e
fussy if she wanted more than
one complete bath a week.
In your grandfather's time the
preacher used to come to the log
rolling and go home the worse for
liquor, and no one thought any the
less of him for it, either. Have you
ever seen the rector of your parish
ever so little under the weather?
Forty years ago if you were a
Democrat and lived in a Republican
community you might expect to
wake up and find your barn burned
and your stock set loose as a gentle
hint to you to go where you were
welcome If you were a Republi-
can you never even dreamed of try
ing to live in peace with Demo-
Gratis; you knew it was no use.
Don't you think we've gone a lit
tie ahead Of that sort of thing?
When ] was a little girl, not so
aWfully long ago, people used to
give a litter of kittens to the chill
dren and tell them to go and drown
them, and when we cried at the
idea the grown people laughed. Any
one who would ask a growing child
to do a cruel thing like that today
would be sent to the juvenile court
for investigation, and quite right,
too.
When my grandmother died the
neighbors came and sat in the
room with her and watched every
symptom of her agony with a kind
of grewsome interest, and went
home and told the children all
about it. Civilized!-they weren't
even partially so.
