 Yhelr Werik.

1t has been suggested that the Kings Daughters, through whose eff forts the Johnson homo at Norwich Town was established belong in the lisS of Norwich benefactors.
 Home chapter was organized with the special purpose of securing . home for aged worthy Protestant women of Norwich. For ten years the members of the chapter worked to raise funds and finally were enabled to open the home in 1908 and to run it for year.
 At the end of that time, as it seem ed for ttre advantage or the institution, Home chapter decided to turn 1t over to the trustees of Mrs. Robert John sons estate, giving up the name Kings Daughters home for that Of Johnson home. Arrangements had been made so that the Johnson funds were avail able in 1907 and the generous women who were the original workers for the institution took the action which was manifestly for the best interests of the home.
 It had opened in 1906 with four in the household All these original mem- bers are dead. Eleven women are now in the home.
 The most generous donor, whose gift of $2,000 made the opening of the home possible in 1906, was the late Miss Lizzie Meech. Her sister. tho Late Miss Adelaide Meeoh, also gave . liberal sum for that purpose.
