D. A. r. Opening Meeting

The Captain Jedediah Hyde Chapter,
| d. A. r. met for the first session of the
year, on Wednesday evening, Oct. 1th
| at the home of Miss Louise Slocum. AL
though the attendance was small, the
meeting was unusually enthusiastic and
those who were present received encour,
agement and inspiration for carrying on
the work.
The topic for the evening was "Vaca-
tion Notes." and especially interesting
talks were given by Mrs. Fisk, Mrs. Val
leau. and Mrs. Ide. Mrs. Valleau told OF
some of the quaint places she visited in
the old historic town of Salem; and also
of her stop at the Old Constitution House
in Windsor. During the summer, Mrs.
Ide had visited some particularly inter
esting and romantic Revolutionary relics
in New York, and she described and ex-
planned them most entertainingly.
A discussion of plans for the work to
be taken up during the ensuing year
brought forth some splendid suggestions
for varying the programmes, and thus
giving them a broader appeal. The
committee will adopt some of these ideas
aud hope to have the year books out be-
fore the next meeting.
Refreshments were served, and social
hour enjoyed, after which the meeting
adjourned to convene again on Wednes-
day evening, Nov. Sth, at the home OF
Mrs. Augusta Wheeler, on Bridge St.

faithfully, and so well in one posi-
ton, that of clerk, as Mr.. Bracken.
He is known by all the travelling men
in the state, Is always at his post of

Mr.. Bracken is certainly entitled to
