the announcement OF which creates for
the time being little ripple OF pleasur-
able excitement. Most OF the prominenJ
social leaders are busily engaged in max
ing preparations for the coming OF warm
weather, and the divinity OF the ball room
is about retiring into chrysalis
state from which the ''summer-girl'
will soon burst forth, bewildering,
tantalizing, and mysterious. There Is
something peculiarly interesting IN TINS
transition, this gradual development
during the early spring, OF the dignlnead,
young women of the winter season into
I. the dainty, bewitching and altogether
fascinating little fairy of the seashore and
the mountains; whether her moods vary
with her dresses, and in that way the
change may be accounted for, or whether
il is due entirely to her. surroundings,
who shall say?
Probably there has not been this season
such representative audiences as were
seen in the opera house during the last or
the week. Everybody was there, thea

exception; Mrs Charles III. Child chap

forty-six in the Charles Dorrance party.
Henry Dews was with party OF twenty
and Messrs. Sharpe and Langdon each in
vited party of friends.

Mrs. shepherd on "Public Schools"
At Blackstone Hall last evening Mrs.
Margaret l.. Shepherd spoke to fair
sized audience on Our Public Schools"
and the dangers that threaten them at
the hands of the Roman Catholic Church.
Against the Catholic Church as religion
she said she had not u word to say. They
had as much right to worship God, ac-
cording to their belief as anybody else,
but when they brought their religion into
politics then IL was time to call a halt.
She compared the Public with the Paro-
chial schools. and said that while the
former taught the youth Of the country to
be good American citizens the latter in
stitutions taught them to be good sub
jects Of the Church OF Rome. She said
There should be no such thing as a
Roman Catholic vote, there should be no
such thing as British-American, an
Irish-American, or a German-American
vote. There should be but one vote
throughout this broad land, and that
should be the American VOTE"

The storm Of yesterday spoiled the
plans OF most fishermen in this vicinity
and but few boats were in use. Those
who started Saturday night for the trout
streams had stormy day of it, but sue
cess rewarded those VINO whipped the
brooks. William Mosher and Charles
Campbell of Wesleyan avenue returned
from the lower part Of the State this
morning. They faced the rain yesterday,
and this morning they were showing the
result. Seven trout on the top OF their
well-iilled creel weighed five pounds and
nine ounces. The other beauties under
meath were prOportiouately large III Won
