 Several heard and a few saw the \ airplane that passed over the Hill on Saturday, probably in some way con nected with the Hartford meet.
 When the gossip shuts up shop the strife ceases. A gossip is one who | talks of people rather than of things. Garden talk is fascinating these days. Andrew Whitman, Charles Benton and wife, old residents, now of Hart ford, MT. and Mrs. Edward Hanson recently called on MT. and Mrs. Rob- bins.
 Prof. Emo has a song, Chapel Steps," in the new volume of Songs of Brown University" and a Memorial day poem in The Journal of Education, | Boston.
 There is no great loss without some small gain. Therefore if we have no | apples, cider making will not take the time and money for necessary | work and duty.
 A clergyman present at the ever cises on the Green Memorial day com ing in later for casual call said that the prayer of dedication by our for mer pastor, Rev. Earle w. DarrOw, of HOlyoke was the most beautiful and perfect in spirit and in dictiOn of any prayer to which he had ever listened. At the Children's day services at Union Congregational church, Provi- dence, the little son Theodore Fuller Bacheler, of the pastor, Rev. TheO- dOre Bacheler, was among the chill dren consecrated. MT. Bachelors ser mon to the children, topic, Finding Things" was classed as very remark able, exceeding any of his previous excellent discOurses.
 When the tidings went fast and far last Friday morning that Mrs. Gardner Hall had fallen down stairs at her home it carried consternation to all, and the news that Doctor Converse found no broken bones carried relief, but solicitude and sympathy was the spontaneous sentiment and continues as she is still suffering from the inev- itable nervous shock and muscular strain.
 MT. and Mrs. Frank Fuller, their son, John Fuller, wife and baby, Roy, motored from Marlborough on Sunday to pass the day with MT. and Mrs Rob bins, Mrs. Frank Fuller and Mrs. Rob- bins being sisters. They brought strawberries from their own gardens, ! the finest and of most delicious flavor of June berries in Connecticut, we venture to believe.
 The Memorial day programs with the cut of the monument were so much in demand that it was impossi- ble to keep one as a souvenir of the memorable day. Copies of The Press containing the cut were sent afar to absent and interested friends. The Hand Book issued for the roll call meeting of the Federated church was also of great interest, and also
 in great demand, so much so that a copy for reference is not available at this writing.
 Sunday must have been planned es- pecially for Children's day so perfect was the weather. The observance at the church was very pleasing and en- jOyed by all The helpful and inform ing address by Dr. Kendrick and the 0R starving children of China, $14.6O be- ing received. It would have been men toned in this column last week had the correspondent happened to hear of it. Mrs. Smith, chairman of the floral committee, while arranging the decorations with her usual artistry and painstaking, was so unfortunate as to slip and fall, sustaining an in evitable severe nerve shock that de- tained her from the service. No bones were broken but fall is always serious matter and general sym pathy was expressed at the mishap.
 Mrs, Tilden Jewett and her aunt, Mrs. COlsOn, of Holyoke, Mass, who is her guest, called recently on Mrs. Preston. Mrs. Jewett, who has the honor of being the first woman in Tol- land county to represent her town in the general court, has attended every session of the late term of the legis- lature and found the experience help full as a mental stimulus and very pleasant. Although belonging to the minority party her attention was never called to the matter, and to be told on leaving by a member that he had never known it and that she was just as nice as republican" was a cordial bit of pleasantly to remember in the annals of the memorable ex- perience. At the next election we venture there will be more than five in the wOmans group but they will not have the honor nf heinz ninnnnrr
