called between the hours of three and
six found it peculiarly pleasant Wto
meet their friends from whom vaca-
tons in many distant places had sep
arated them, and the opportunity of
again greeting Mrs. Addy, always pop
ular in Moscow society, was extremely
welcome.
Mrs. Butterfeld received with Mrs.
Addy in the drawing room, and they
were assisted by Mrs. Kaufman, Mrs.
Barrows, Mrs. Truitt, Mrs. Griffith, Mrs.
Hutton, Mrs Swami, Mrs Forney, and
Mrs. Little.
In the dining room ice and dainty
cakes were served from an exquisitely
decorated table by the Misses Byrns,
Parsons, Addy, and Brannon. Miss
Marie Kaufman presided at the front
door to direct guests.
The beautiful Buttertield residence
was artistically decorated in a pro-
fusion of autumn flowers and rare
roses.

BROUGHT GREETINGS ON
 FLOWER MISSION DAY.
w. c. T. U. Visited Johnson Home Musical Programme and Recitations.

One of the best of good times was arranged and carried out by members of the W. c. T. U. when fifteen or more gathered Monday afternoon at the Johnson home making the house hold their guests. The president, Miss H. G. Cross, said that as this was their Flower Mission day of the year they had come bringing greetings and good cheer and flowers. She told of the origin of this day which has been adopted by other branches of the w. c. T. U. Miss Jennie Cassidy was a shut-in and from her sick room sent flowers, messages and gifts to other shut-ins. This custom has since been regularly observed by the w. c. T. U. in the spirit of the originator.
 Mrs. A J. Bailey gave much pleas moreske. and later Mrs. W. F. Bailey rendered in good voice the solo, My Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair, and as an encore, The Sandman. The story of Sophys Sermon, or Called to Scrub and Preach, was most entertaining as tifuI poem, He Leadeth Me, In Pleas ant Ways, Not Always, by the treas- urer, Mrs. Meade, and the singing of Blest Be the Tie That Binds closed the more formal exercises.
 A delicious repast of sandwiches, COOh105s CI0SS0, u011CSLL0 VdI1- cites of cake, fancy waters and fruit was served by Miss Cross, assisted by other members of the W c. T. U. A vote of thanks for the entertainment was voiced by Mrs. Miner.
 Previous to the visit to the John kon home the members held a brief business meeting in their rooms in the Bill block, with Miss Harriet c. Cross, the president, in the chair.

FRAUD IS DEFENSE IN SUIT
George FIorac Claims Note Was Secured From Him Under Misrepresentation by Albert T. Hoxse of Montvile- Suit is Brought Note and Claim for Rent of House Trial in Common Pleas Court.

In the court of common pleas here Monday, the day was occupied with the trial of the case of Albert T. Hox- sic against George F1orac. Both are of Montyille, the plaintiff being the owner of about 500 acres there, from which he rented a house and barn with about 45 acres to the defendant for $75 per year.

 Judge c. B. Waller presided at the court trial and the attorneys were o. W. Comstock for the plaintiff and Allyn IA> Brown for the defendant.
 The plaintiff was put on the stand and explained his books, showing the time that Florac and F7oracs hired man worked for Hoxsie. He was given a rigid cross examination by Attorney Brown, and at o'clock the plaintiff rested.

March, 1909, was only a memorandum. At that time they were looking over Hoxsie's books, he testified. but FIorac didn't have his book, and he was told if- he signed the paper it would save them the trouble of looking over Hox- sie's books again when Florac should produce his own books When F1orac did produce his books in June, F1orac showed that there was $1o4 due from Hoxsie to F1orac. Against what Hox- sic had charged against F1orac, the latter claimed credits for work on a shed. fence, repairs to roofs, and for help in having, hoeing and wedding. He claims there is altogether a bal ance of $431 due in his favor.
 The defendants evidence was f1n- ished during the afternoon, and Attor- ney Comstock called MT. Hoxsie again to the stand on rebuttaL He has other rebuttal witnesses and the defendant will probably have some in sur-rebut- tai before the arguments are made.

 In the case of Julian Pollock vs. Henry Kern, Judge Waller has rem dered judgment for the defendant.

WATERFORD WILL BUILD
 ON HARTFORD ROAD.
Special Town Meeting Voted to Spend
 State and Town Money on Work.

Taxpayers of Waterford in a special town meeting Monday afternoon voted to expend state and town moneys on Waterford's part of the Hartford turn pike. The meeting first rescinded the vote of a town meeting of 1914 which prevented outlay of money on this project and then passed the vote call ing for expending $S,0O0 state money and about $2,0OO town money on the work.
 There was but one dissenting vote on the vote to rescind, and that dis appeared when the vote to spend the money on this road was passed. The meeting was largely attended, espe- cially by people from the north end of the town, through which the turnpike runs.
 This ends all the difficulty that has been encountered at this end of the Hartford turnpike. The result of the meeting is good news to the New Lon don Chamber of Commerce Hartford turnpike committee, of which George s. Goldie is chairman.
