C0VENT GARDEN HOPING
FOR FAVOR OF ROYALTY
Success of London's S Home of the
Opera Depends Largely Upon
King and Queen.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, April 10.-The managers
of Covent Garden, Londons home Of
the opera, are specializing anXiously
about the frequency with which King
George and Queen Mary will attend
the opera season which will open
within a few weeks. Upon the meas
ure of the royal patronage the success
of the season largely depends.
Last year. their majesties attended
only the performance Of "Tosca. ;" with
Nine. Jeritza in the leading role
This year it is taken for granted that
they will be present at Nine. Melba s
farewell performance. which will be a
program of selections from all her
most famous songs. II is doubtful.

PRESENTATION AT COURT

Mounting Applications by Both

Selection Gigantic Task.
Rr The Associated Press

BY the Associated
LONDON, April 10.-Obtaining a
presentation to the King and Queen
is becoming such a task that even
English folk of high rank have to
resort TO subterfuGes to obtain a court
presentation for their own children.
SO many foreigners are claiming the
right of presentation nowadays that
even though their majesties hold four
courts instead of two in a season, the
English born debutante has difficulty
in getting into the presence of her
sovereigns.
Hundreds of applications were re-
fused by the lord chamberlain this
year. Already the unsuccessful ap-
plicants are registering for next year.
Many parents whose daughters do not
reach the debutante age of IS before
1927 or 1928 have made applications
for the year in which their daughters
shall be old enough. The lord cham
berlain has received these applications,
but not accepted them. for he fears
that if such a precedent is set. soon
applications for presentations will be
filed whenever a baby girl is born in
eligible families. American mothers
have been quick to follow this lead.
The embassy already has applications
for the courts of 1927 and 1928.

LIBRARY MEETING.

AT the annual meeting of the
Sedgwick Library Association, the
following officers were elected
President, Mrs Lille Smith, vice
president, Mrs. Virgelia Smith;
secretary, Miss Blanche Friend;
treasurer, Mrs. Minnie Dority; libra
rian, Mrs. Virgelia w. Smith.
An expression of deepest thanks
was given to Mrs. Fannie Herrick
Lane for her faithful service as Ii
brarian for more than Twenty-Five
years. AS Mrs. Lane is now unable
to continue this service, the books
have been moved to the home of Mrs.
Virgelia Smith, the new librarian.
Several new books have been pur-
chased
Anyone may become member of
the association by the payment Of SO
cents. The library year begins
January l. The annual dues for each
member are SO cents. If anyone has
books to donate to the library, they
will be gratefully received. Books
may be exchanged on Saturday after
Moons from O'Clock to 5 O'Clock.
If anyone has a book belonging to
the library, they are requested to
bring it in before the new catalogue
is finished.
1t will be of interest to recall the
beginning of this association, and
some of the people who formed it.
Sixty-nine years ago, in the house
now occupied by DR.. Rufus Hager-
thy, the people of Sedgwick met with
Mrs. Lydia Dodge, to consider the ad-
visibility of having public library.
Forty persons were present, all ex-
cepting two heads of families. The
common desire of all was voiced by
DR.. Drinkwater, who said By
forming an association, we can have
the advantage of better literature
for ourselves and our children than
we could afford individually
The next week Mrs. Drinkwater
and Mrs. Samuel Herrick canvassed
the town from North Sedgwick to
Sargentville. Everyone favored the
idea, and was willing to contribute
On November 7, 1857, at the home
of Capt. Samuel Herrick, the Sedg-
wick Library Association was
formed, with seventy members. NO
man was eligible for office, but
when the first committee was chosen
to purchase books, no woman felt
competent for such an important
duty, so Rev. C. P. Bartlett, Dr.
Sidney Drinkwater and Rufus Cole
were made the committee and the
selection of the first books was
great event.
After the books were selected, the
list was sent to the assistant libra
rian of the Boston Public Library,
who pronounced it very wise selec-
ton for the first one. 1t contained
encyclopedias, two volumes, and the
works of such writer's as Moore,
Burns, Byron, Scott, Tennyson,
Holmes and Hawthorne-about 300
volumes in all.
