Y asked if l would &C to an

been sent from the White House,

Always arc we professional women

There was a beautiful box of
roses sent from the White House

little lives OF the blind children.

was the first time l had ever Wis

the sister announced US.
How do you do, Mary Pickford?"
And all the children smiled at me
with one welcoming smile which
wrung the tears from my heart.
Then one by one they came up
and put out their tiny, tender,
speaking hands and touched me.
"Oh, your have little hands" the
first girl said to me, as she bent my
fingers back and laughed because
they were SO flexible. You could
learn to talk the language of our
little deaf and dumb sisters very
easily"
81 wish l could" I replied, as I
drew my arm around her; she
seemed so trail that l could not
bear to let her go away from me.
Let me touch your mothers
hand" she whispered to me. "Where
is she?"

blind girl, who was clinging to my
mother. She's Mary Pickford's

by all the others, came forward.

GOLDEN JUBILEE OF
 MISS MoLUIE FANcHER
Bedridden Brooklyn Woman in Whom Many Norwich People Are Inter- ested

A lady whose home is now in town but most of whose life was passed in Brooklyn, N. Y, has received copy of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle contain ing an account of the Golden Jubilee reception of her long time friend, Miss Mollie Fancher, whose life his tory has been one of interest to many Norwich people. Just fifty years from that day, Feb. 3, 1865, when at the age of IT, she was forced to take to her bed from which she never rose, by a street car accident which fol- lowed closely on a fall from horse, came this reception to 300 friends.
 Her room was transformed by vines and flowers and most beautiful roses so that it was like a garden in its summer beauty. It was here she re- ceived "the hundreds of widely known Brooklynites'' who called during the afternoon and evening to pay their respects to the famous woman. Pres ident Wilson, to whom Miss Fancher had sent an invitation, sent her a let ter by his secretary. regretting his en- forced absence.
 Late in the afternoon Mrs. Derwent Bigelow speaking for the committee who arranged the reception, handed Miss Fancher a small basket which was filled to the top with gold pieces and checks. Miss Faneher's physi- clan feared for her strength, but she said, q am a bit weary now, but think of my wonderful reception" not more wonderful than the patience and cheer kept through 50 years of suffering by this sweet woman.

COURT ORDERS SALE
 IN ATWOOD CASE.
Money That Was Put Into Property
 Was in Disputs.

A suit for partition or sale of prop erty reached a settlement in the su- perior court on Wednesday afternoon in New London. 1t was brought by Elva Newell Atwood against her hus- band Philo Clark Atwood of Williman- tic from whom she secured a separa- ton several months ago.
 Judge M. A. Shumway gave judg- ment for the plaintiff after hearing the arguments, ordering a sale of the property by auction and report to the court by April 1st. As it is under stood that there is possibility that MT. Atwood may buy out the share of his former wife, the court did not des- ignate the one to carry out the au- ton sale.
 The property in dispute is valued at S3,500. It is claimed that in 1912 Mir. and Mrs. Atwood bought the property for $3,500, paying $1.50e in cash and taking a mortgage of $2,ooo. Later the defendant paid of the mortgage of s2,Oo0 in two payments of s1,eoo each.
 The point at issue censered about the exact amounts paid in the first payment of S1,5o0. The plaintiff claimed thes she paid $1.250 of the amount and the defendant alleged that he paid $500, the amount in dis pute being $250. It was to settle this point that the suit was brought, both parties having agreed to all other fs- sues.
 Attorneys c. Hadlia Hull and Clay ton B. Smith appeared for the plain tiff and Attorney Capen of Willimantb was counsel for the defendant.
