Civic League Meeting.
On Thursday morning of last
week in answer to a call from the
president, large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Civic League was
held at the Elks Home. The presi-
dent had been in communication
with we'll known and highly rec.
commended singer and had well de-
veloped plans to put before the
league to enable it to increase the
funds for carrying on the import
ant and altogether necessary work
of the league. The league has
found that a city beautiful cannot
be wished upon the people, but like
everything worth while, it comes
through cooperation and hard work
of all concerned.
A number of new members have
recently come into this organiza-
ton and through them the league
is getting the benefit of ideas that
have been successfully worked out
in other places. The Lions Club and
Commercial Club were both repre-
scented at this meeting and insisted
that the league outline their needs
to them and they would be glad to
carry out any plans suggested, for
they realized that the sentiment
created by live Civic League was
one of the greatest assets to a
town. The mayor was also pres
ent and among other things said
that in coming into office it was a
great comfort to find that the Ma
rianna Civic League was not living
on its past achievements but intend
ed to see to it that weeds were not
the only thing that our soil and
fine climate could grow.
Out of an enrolment of 100
members all were present but four.
Each had legitimate excuse, how
ever, one having previous engage
ment and the other three had con-
tracted either malaria or typhoid
fever while visiting in cities where
the Civic League has passed out
of existence.

Great Entertainment.
The entertainment given at the
Elks Home last night by the lodge
as a compliment to the members
and their families was one of the
most enjoyable social functions of
the season. More than a hundred
adults and as many children par
ticipated in the festivities and
amusements. j. M. Hewitt had
charge of the children and proved
himself a royal juvenile entertainer.
w. B. Mann, prince of perform
ers, directed the program for the
amusement and edification of the
adults. Prefacing the program with
a short address in which he said
this was really big family gather
ing and that he wanted everybody
to be neighborly and have an old
fashioned good time, Mr.. Mann an
nounced the numbers on the pro-
gram as follows:
Piano solo by Miss Elizabeth Har-
rington.
Vocal solo by Mrs. R. D. Smith.
Piano solo by Miss Rebekah
Smith.
Vocal solo by R. w. Brown. AS
an encore Mr.. Brown gave a very
excellent reading.
Quartette by Messrs. C. c. Mitch
ener, Hugh Nixon, R. w. Brown
and Eliza Clifford. This number
made big hit and the singers had
to respond with an encore.
The grand finale to the formal
program was the burlesque initiation
of five ladies-Mesdames W. P.
Harris, O. G.. Norment, w. D. New
bern, Huston Potts and r. D. Jar

PEGGY WAS CARED FOR
 THOUGH PARENTS DIED

How would you feel If when you came down stairs in the morning you saund both your father and mother lying dead on the floor?
 Peggy, little girl of seven found this to be true in her home, which although scantly furnished was clean. Her mother regardless of the tremendous difficulties of their domestic affairs had tried to di- rect the lives of Ter children in the right way. Relatives provided romes for four of the children and a sister, IS years old insisted on caring for Peggy. This proved to be a tremendous task but faithfully carried out until it was nec- essary for the sister to go to the hospital
 for an operation thus cutting of all
 means of livelihood, and that is the req
 son that Peggy came to the Connecticut Children's Aid Society. She was pro- vided with clothing given medical atten- ton and placed in a real home, where she | received home care. mother love and fam fly fellowship, attending school and growing up in an environpent which would make her a good American citizen The continued demands of the many new cases requiring immediate and spe- ciaI care made It necessary to provide
 for Betty in ancther way. What will be-
 come of other boys and girls who find life handicapped with abuse, neglect and who
 have no place they can call home, all de
 bends upon what you say and do, durins | New London County Week. The society
 must depend upon the generosity of th' | friends of children In order that it may continue to pay the board and suppl, the necessary articles which children O.

CITY MISSION NEEDING
 CHRISTMAS SEASON DONATIONS

With the approach of the Christmas season, the public is again reminded that the City Mission is accustomed, out of it's special gifts of money, to furnish limited amount of new warm u1derclothing and stockings to the children of its families for Christmas presents, and also toys.
 Second hand childrens clothing and toys are not sufficient in number to meet the demands and so some clothing and toys are generally provided out of these special gifts.
 But, as always, all kinds of second hand children's clothing fall short of the calls, and serviceable second hand childrens toys, books and gan es are needed for the seasons festivities.
 If, therefore, the friends of the Mission can furnish usable second hand clothing and toys etc, for the children of the Mis- sion, these will be heartily welcomed. Donors may serd the things to No. Washington street, and the cash either tc the rooms or to the treasurer, Miss Butts and remember that more contributions mean more new clothing and consequent wider distribution of it.

AFTER XMAS TREES IN M0HEGAN PARK

Two Norwich women who attempted to secure Christmas trees in Mohegan park Monday afternoon were caught by Park Superintendent Edward Smith and placed under arrest. They had cut two of the young evergreen trees set out in the park and would have had two admirable trees for their family Christmas parties if they had got away with them, but Supt. Smith broke into their plans, took them to his house and held them until police man could be sent to take the women and the trees as evidence to police head quarters. The women gave their names as Catherine Dapolito, 19, of 45 Baltic street and Angina Demartico, 20, of 30 Hickory street
 Both women secured release on bonds for their appearance in court. but the trees were kept at headquarters as evil dence.
 Since the reforesting plan of the Park Board, in which thousands of young ev-
 ergreen trees have been set out, Mohegan
 Park offers a tempting opportunity for those who would get their Christmas trees without the forrnality of buying ] them, but the park board does not in- 1 tend that the practice shall continue
 They look upon 1t as fortunate that an early damper will be put upon any at. tempts at depredations in the park al
