The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
was a very enjoyable occasion. Nine
of the charter members were pnesent.
five were prevented by illness from
attending. A synopsis of the history
of the Union, from its formation till
the present time. was given: also some
suggestions as to what might occur
during the coming 35 years. Music
and recitation contributed to the pleas-
ure of the audience. Mrs BIIeli gave a
fifteen minute talk, in her usual pleas
ing and earnest manner. A number of
members from Greenwich and South
Norwalk unions accepted the invita-
tion extended to them, and the presi-
dent of each addressed the meeting
in a few well~chosea words. including
visitors. over 60 were present. At the
close of the exercises. a social hour
was spent. and refreshments were
served.
