The many 1900 friends of Mrs. C. J. Mahoney will be sorry to learn of an automobile accident which occurred early this fall. Mrs. Mahoney, with a sister and brother, started on an automobile trip through the White Mountains the Saturday before Labor Day. Her brother, who was driving the machine, was stung by a bee, and lost control of the car. The machine crossed the road, struck a clump of trees, and just escaped going into a lake. No one was thrown from the car, and it was believed at the time that injuries were not serious. An X-ray showed, however, that Mrs. Mahoney had a dislocated hip and fractured femur. She has been at the Massachusetts General Hospital since the accident, and every one will be glad to know that she is now on the high road to complete recovery.

A letter from Ben Prescott contains the following item of interest: "Possibly you may have heard that Don Tuttle lost his little girl about three weeks ago. She had a very sudden attack of illness, and they called Dr. Harry Chase, and he came to Milford immediately and pronounced the illness spinal meningitis and said that there was only one chance in a million of doing anything for her and that was by taking her to the Children's Hospital in Boston. He took the child directly back with him, and she lived only until the next day. The specialist who was in attendance at the hospital said that she had a combination of spinal meningitis and infantile paralysis, which is very rare and absolutely fatal. Needless to say, we all feel very sad, as Nancy was one of the most beloved children in this community, and my wife and I felt the loss especially as Don's house and mine adjoin and Nancy was almost like one of our family as she was in or around our home so much." We extend to Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle our heartfelt sympathy.

Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Eva Woodhull of Brooklyn, N. Y., and C. W. Foster.

F. Dana Sears was recently elected president of the Y. M. C. A. in Hyde Park, Mass.
