Yesterday Afternoon of
iiov. James E. Coley. at ills
Summer Home
About forty members of the Nor-
waiir Chapter, Daughters of the Ameri-
can lievoiution. enjoyed the hospitali-
ty of the Rev. James Bi. Coley, yester-
day. at his summer home in Westport.
The wide. roomy house stands on a
hill with a basin-shaped valley oppo-
site lined with green meadows fringed
with trees and dotted with peacefully
feeding cattle. Many of the ladies
went over by trolley and they were
met at the Westport bridge by Mrs.
Blooms and Mrs. lsaac Wakeman.
Several carriages were in waiting and
as many indies as possible were tak-
en by those to Mr. Coley's house.
while others walked the short distance
up the hill.
At the door two pretty young girls in
white, acting as ushers, welcomed the
visitors and conducted them to the li-
brary where they were received by
Rev. Mr. Coley. his daughter. Mrs. W.
G. Staples. Mrs. W. S. Adams and Mrs.
Godiilot. in the center of the room
the new} regent of the Norwaik Chap-
ter. Mrs. Jabea Backus. was surround-
ed by the lncoming guests. The room
where the reception was hold was a
large dignified apartment with many
windows and a high ceiling. The walls
are hung with dark and cartridge pa-
per which makes an admirable bacil-
ground for the family portraits in hea-
vy gold frames. The furniture is of
old mahogany and a beautiful hundred-
iegged table used as a writing table.
in the center of the table was a great
old blue bowl ofiloid ddiaies. odectivo-
iy set, upon a handsomely embroidered
center piece of blue and white. Bo
tween the windows and at either and
of the room were bookah’eit'ss filled
with choice volumes.:and suinarcabt
nets and tables rich in old wares.
while a tall high-boy contained relics
of interest in all its many drawers.
Balboa hour-slipped away in the ex-
amination of . these colonial treasures.
Mrs. Arthur Jeliifio and Mrs. L. T.
Day then played two «Spanish dances
on the piano. after which Mr. Coley
read a very interesting description of
Lafayette'a second American visit In
1824. A costume of blue crops and
white satin was shown. together with
a white glove on which was stamped
a picture of Lafayette. “the nation’s
guest,” which was worn by Mr. Coley's
mother at a ball given in Lafayetto’s
honor. .
Among the relics in Mr. Coloy's col-
lection are a piece of the fort at Tic-
onderoga. with bullets imbedded in its
surface. a fragment of a pinnacle of
the .oid Christ Church in Boston.
