"Keramos,"by Longfellow, was read.
Quabbio is the Indian name of En Held.
The highest prominence in town is still
sailed by thp.t name. It is on historic
ground; and traces of its early history
are constantly in evidence. Arrow-heads
are often found in its neighborhood by
hunters, and only a few months ago a
copper coin of the time' of George III,
was unearthed on Quabbin. The club
appropriates the blue-fringed gentian
for its flower, because on this same
Indian hill it grows in abundance. The
Quabbin is a literary club, with a mem
bership of about twenty-fire, and has
recently been admitted to the Massa
chusetts State Federation.

instructive.
The Stromsburg Woman's club held
their twenty second open meeting of this
season March 18, at the home of Mrs. J.
G. Green. The program was under the
management of .Mrs. Green, leader of the
English history department. The Avon
club of York bad been invited and seven
of its members were present, who were
Mesdames Harribon, McCloud, Jerome,
Pierson, Campbell, Wiedner, and Moul
ton. Early in the evening the members
of the club with their gentlemen and in
vited gueats gathered at the spacious
and pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G.
Green, which had been tastily arranged
with floral decorations and in one arch
had been placed a large globe containing
a number of beautiful gold fish which
seemed to dance and glide about to the
sweet strains of our mandolin club.
When all had arrived, our president,
Mrs. N.S. Clark, by a few pleasing and
appropriate remarks welcomed our
guests and placed the program in the
hands of Mrs. Green .who promptly by
the wave of her wand took the company
back into the earlier centuries, begining
with Alfred the Great and representing
Kings and two Queens. The members
who represented these characters wore
the headgear of that King or Queen
andgareafe of the principal events
relating to that period and reign. The
company was provided with cards and
pencils and placed in order the Kings
which they interpreted. Rev. Presson
won the prize for the number correctly
interpreted, and a laurel wreath was pre
sented to him with a neat and witty
speech by Guy Green, to which Rev.
Presson responded in his own happy
way and was most heartily applauded by
the members of the club for the many
complimentary references to the club,
its women acd their motives.
Mrs. Green then gave a most vivid
description of the time, place and period
of the meeting and dialogue between
Richard II and Watt Tyler, which was
followed by the dialogue given by Misses
Hall and Smith as Richard and Tyler.
Mrs. Weidner of the York club respond
ed to a call from the president in a very
pleasing manner, when a most delicious
lunch was served and all felt it was an
evening profitably and pleasantly spent.

street. Sixty-five names are now en
rolled in this chapter and application
for membership has been received from
several more. The disinterested and
serious study of the early history of our
country undertaken by so many women

to know more of the beginnings of
American history.

iWaPJPIfcOVAX, OF Axr.
of the Settlers of the Connecticut Val
ley," was abbly bandied in an interest
ing paper by Dr. Philbrick.
An interesting feature of the pro
gram was an original poem by Mrs. W.
A.. Ranking, who had been requested to
write upon -'The Daughters of the Revo
lution." The subject was not confined
to the local branch in Mrs. Rankin's
pretty verses, but embodied instead the
patriotic spirit of the organization at
large, with but the closing lines ad
dressed to the Lincoln chapter. The
poem would be most appropriate for use
on one of the anniversary days, with
their special observances.
The fact that many of the chapter's
members are descended from Connecti
cut forefather's, was brought out at the
round table.
A revolutionary loan exhibit will be
given in the near future at the home of
Mrs. Pound to raise a fund for the trans
portation of relics to the Trans-Mississippi
exhibit. The date will be an
nounced later.

The plans for the May Festival were
explained and tickets distributed to the
members
Mary Louise Clary, America's greatest
contralto, who is to appear at the Mati
nee Musicals May festival. May 4, made
her debut a little over four years ago in
"Samson and Delilah," with the Ora
torio society of New York, under the
direction of Walter Damrosch.
She was at once recognized as a con
tralto of wonderful voice and remarkable
range. Since her debut she has been
heard in many of the principal cities of
the country in connection with leading
oratorio societies. Critics are unani
mous in the opinion that not since the
time of Annie Louise Cary has a finer
contralto voice been heard. The regis
ters of her voice are perfectly equalized
and her execution of scale passages is
practically flawless. The power and
quality of her voice are remarkable.
Miss Clary inconstantly in demand for
concerts and oratorios in the various
cities, and it is owing to the fact that
she will make a tour extending to the
Pacific coast this spring that the Mati
nee Musicale is enable to secure her.
