before the Christian era probably. The oldest manuscript music is a song in one of Shakespeare's place. Much of it being dance music it has in such pieces no especial ending as it was originally played on and on and only stopped as people gave out It often had a certain note harped upon con tinuously in place of a keynote and often contained a secondary melody, thereby being much enriched and it frequently repeated certain figures again and again. f In modern music the major and minor scales only are used but an cient Irish folk music was written in modes and played and sung in vaIi ent,, according a sit was given in one country or another and often varied ny the singers mood. There were vari
 ous scales; the pentatonic, dorian, frigian, lydian, mixolydian and aeoli- an, and these gave very different ef- fectS from our modern scales.
 The lecture vas very comprehensive but so entertaining that one scarcely realized it until afterwards.
 The program ended with two very characteristic Irish songs quite diff erent from each other: My Loves An Arbutus and Off to Philadelphia, sung most delightfully."- by MT. Fred eric Weld.

 The Irish music is essentially imag- inative and dreamy. It goes back to the time of the mythical gods and fairies and partakes of their nature. It is much of it traditional, existing long

Both events happened to come on the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Home and though no special attempt was made to celebrate the event yet following the business meeting of Class circle were two ad- dresses referring to the past ten years
 During the business meeting the leader, Miss Lucy Geer, mentioned sending letters of sympathy in the name of Class circle to Rev Henry J. Cr1st of South Pasadena, Cal, and to Mrs. Frances W. Robinson Sibley, the widow of Benjamin E. Sibley of Rial to, Cal. Mrs. Mary Stark Crist and Mrs. Sibley were members of Class circle of The Kings Daughters and have been actively interested in it's welfare since leaving Norwich
 Then Miss Geer read the poem. The King Of Love My Shepherd Is. and spoke of the founding of Home Chap ter, Nov. 30, 1896; quotation from the constitution was read, and the first officers named. Twenty-two la dies have enjoyed the comforts of this Home. The Kings Daughters and their friends have continued the in- terest which started the movement
 Mrs. L. O. Potter told of the present WOAh c4 lliS NudDl0f ana Inelr work for Backus hospital During the past ten years we can all see how the chapter has, grown, no1 only in numbers but in a spiritual way the working part has followed. Not many sales and suppers have been held The trustees have carried on the work and spirit of The Kings Daughters. The Johnson Home is our home, with the same vital interest. as long as these older ones are here, and on into the future. Our chapter is able to help the home in different ways, to bring many comforts. Should our connec- ton with 1t cease our circle must change it's name and object.
 Among the other interests of our circle is that of work for Backus hos pital. As people of Norwich we have withheld support from it too long, There are maDy needs coming up, old linen and cotton; the renewal of linen used in such place; new X-ray machine. Cannot each circle take up one line of work for the hospital? The giving of little at time and keep ing it up will be a real help.
 Thanks were given Mrs. Potter by Miss Geer. Following the more forL nal meeting, afternoon tea was served.

TOOK HIS ROLL
 WHILE HE SLEPT
SaIim K. Gorra Had $114 Under His
 Pillow Election Night.

Salim K. Gorra of Hill street, New London, reported to the New London police on Wednesday that while he slept Tuesday night a thief entered his home and removed $114 in cash from under his pillow. Gorra did not discover his loss until Wednesday morning. IEe has asked the police to recover his roll.
 A strange fact in connection with the robbery is that every door in the Gorra apartment was securely locked Wednesday morning and there were no indications of entrance having been gained through the windows. One lone clue to the presence of the bur glar in the house was the fact that the lamp left burning in an adjoining room to the Cora sleeping rooms last night was out Wednesday morning. Nothing in the house was disturbed, other than the money.
