Seventh Annual Ball of the St Vincent Di
 Paul M. A. Association.

On next Friday evening, February Ii, the seventh annual concert and ball of the St Vincent De Paul society will oc- eur at the Town hall, which already presents an attractive appearance. There is no doubt that it's capacity will be taxed to the utmost. Why? Be- cause this popular society, 100 strong, have won an enviable reputation for sue cess in all undertakings of this kind, as they leave nothing undone that would add to the entertainment of their friends. This year, the attractions will be d grand concert, vocal and instrumental music of a high order having already been engaged. The details of the con- cert have not yet been completed, but the attractive feature will be the singing by Misses Maggie Duff, Nellie McMahon and James Roe of Bridgeport. Mr Roe and Miss McMahon are we'll known in town and nothing we can say will add to their popularity. Their last visit here was in September, when they rendered valuable assistance to she successful faii given by Father Donohue at St. Rose Miss Duff and Miss Cummings, althougf not so we'll acquainted in town, have woI an enviable reputation for themselves throughout the State, where they have cheerfully given their voices to the as sistance of church fairs and various works of charity. Prof Platt will pre- side at the piano during the concert ant
 will also assist the Standard orchestra o
 Danbury to discourse the music for danc ing. Every one who can should atten,
