The Theatre Hat.
Women of taste and innate refinement
are beginning to recognize the fact that
they will lose their reputation for both
if they insist upon wearing large hats
to the theatre even though the millinery

creation in question is a perfect dream.

Let them wear their big hate on the
street, but their little ones in the theatre,
that is, if they possess two. Of course,
if they do not they are to be pitied
rather than censured, and this conclu-
sion all will arrive at who see a woman
in a large hat- at a place of amusement.

KING’S WHTERS-

State Delegates Held a Con-
vention in Hartford,
Yesterday.

 

Mrs. T. K. Noble Delivers an Address.

The Fourth Church at Hartford was
handsomeiy decorated with red, white

with the Maltese cross and the letters
“I. H. N.” were in evidence, - yester-
day afternoon, when the second annual ,
convention of the King’s Daughters _
and Sons of Connecticut met. in spite
of the unpleasant afternoon there were
several hundred delegates from the cir-
cles of the order in thedifi‘erent coun-
ties of the state. The convention was
opened by the reading" of Scripture by
Mrs. N. Melancthon James of New Ha-
ven, state secretary. She spoke briefly
of the need of the spiritual‘presence in

be done “In His Name.” .

The Rev. H. H. Kelsey spoke a few
words of welcome to the convention,
saying that it was a great honor to
have as guests the Daughters of the
King. They had come with true
humility to do honor to the King by
whose name they were known, and in.
whose name they had a right. In be-
half of the churches of Hartford and of
the King’s Daughters of Hartford
county, which had nearly one-third of
the members of the order in the state,
be extended a cordial welcome.

The convention chose Miss Helen
Rathbun of Hartford recording secre-
tary. ‘

Mrs. Spalding of Bridgeport, Miss

Fenn of Hartford and Mrs. Stiles of
New Haven were-appornted a commit-I
tee on credentials and Mrs. Bunnell
and Mrs. Kelsey of New Haven and
Mrs. Noble of Norwalk were appointed.
a committee on resolutions.
Miss Sara M. Barnum reported for
Fairfield county, representing thirty-
seven circles and a membership of over
500. The work done was of a similar
character to that in the other counties.
The “Mothers in Council” circle of
Olivet Charch'of Bridgeport is prepar-
ing for a large meeting in behalf of the
order.

Reports were received and read from
several of the counties. At the close of
the afternoon session the local circles
of King’s Daughters entertained the
delegates with a collation in the chapel.

At the evening session Mrs. 'D. Mel-
ancthon Jamesof New Haven, state
secretary, then delivered her annual
address, in which she detailed the work
of the order of the state. The treasury
showed a balance of $62.15. The New
Haven union was doing a good work
and reports from‘ Norw‘alk and Bridge-
port showed much earnest endeavor.
There were 174 reported circles in the
state, with a membership of nearly 3,-
500. The variety of endeavor of the
King’s Daughters was great, and there
was no room for idleness for any who
had taken up the service.

The closing session of the convention
was held this morning, when the princi-
pal address was delivered by Mrs. T.
K. Noble of Norwalk. »

Mrs. Davis will hold a consecration
meeting in the Chapter House of the

LAinR MEN MEET.
Eleventh Anmonvention of
the Connecticut Branch.

The Norwalk 0. L. U. Represented.

The eleventh annual meeting of the
Connecticut branch of the American
Federation of Labor was begun in
.1 nights of Columbus Hall Hartford,

and blue, buntingand many banners .; 'terday._ Most of the business was

p§eparatry to the work to-day. The
delegates were entertained by the local
Central Labor Union at C. L. U. Hall.
They had a smoker, with speeches and
refreshments. ’
The first session was called to ‘order
at 11 o’clock in the morning by ex-Rep-
resentative T. M. Crowley of Meriden,
the president. The meeting was larger
.lytxstaken up with routine business. The
following committees were appointed :—
‘ Credentials -.-— Matthew Duly of
Bridgeport.

Distribution—Harry Blake of Hart-
ford, C. E. Schreck of Meriden and J.
F. Dawn of Danbury,

Resolutions-M. Kelly of Meriden,
James Moriarity of Hartford, J. Bren-
cisca of Hartford, J. W. Williams of
Hartford and J. Horg of Hartford.
Finance—A. McKay of Hartford, C.
0. Baldwin of Hartford, Charles Brom-
ley of Bridgeport. _

. Constitution—Thomas Crosby of
Hartford, J. F. Stanley of Meriden.
John E. Owens of Norwalk, John Webb

of New Britain and F. C. Walz of Hart-
ford.

Press—J. A. Coates of Bridgeport,
T. F. Foley of Hartford and William
Brown of Meriden. '

The annual report of the treasurer
showed that the finances were ,in good
shape. 'Mr. Crowley, the state organ-
izer, reported thata new central labor
union body would soon be started in
New Haven ”with about seventeen
unions. The C. L. U. of New Haven

,gvent out of existence—about five years
'ago.

There are about fifty-one unions
at present afiiliating with the American
Federation of Labor in this state. A
dozen new unions were added during
the past year;
Special to Our Lady Readers.

It is an item worthy of.note,_ and we
believe if followed up, will be found of
great value. The J. , B. Williams 00.,
whose Shaving Soaps have been famous
for over half a century. make a Washing
Powder called “Ivorine,” and have ad-
vertised with us for a number of years.
They announce that they put a cake of
Toilet Soapin every package of Ivorine,
giving it as a bonus thh each package.
This Toilet Soap is really of very great
merit; it leaves the skin soft, white and
velvety, and it is like all of this manu-
facturer’s productions, as nearly perfect
as soap can be made. The price of the
Ivorine package remains the same as
before the Toilet Soap was put in, so
that the soap is simply a gratuity, hence
the housewife gets soap for every de-
partment of the house at the price or-
dinarily paid for washing powder alone.
If our lady readers will buy one pack-
age of Ivorine Washing Powder, we
feel sure they will thank us for our
suggestion.

 

One on Himself.
Attorney John J. Walsh loves a good

 

joke and the one he perpetrated upon

himself in the Common Pleas court yes-
terday, is too good to be lost.

When William and Terrance Rey-
nolds were brought before the Town
Court last month, for their disgraceful
actions on a Tramway car, Attorney
Walsh appeared for them. Both were
found guilty and heavily fined, William
receiving a jail sentence in addition.
Attorney Walsh quickly appealed the
cases after hearing Judge Hubbell’s
decision and the boys were released un-
der bonds.

Before Judge R. Jay Walsh, yester-
day both of the prisoners pleaded guilty,
and Attorney Walsh in his most suave
manner explained to the court that the
young men did not realize‘the nature
of the appeal they had taken and would
have settled in the court below had
they been properly advised. The At-
torney of course made no reference to
the jail sentence, or the fact that he
had been their attorney before the
Town Court.
