The dance is to be called May Dance and will doubtless be one of the jolliest of the season as the club is famed for its successful entertain ments.
 The farmers of Woodbridge have been praying for rain during the past few days. It has been extremely dry for the crops and unless rain falls soon many will be ruined.

Those attending from this city were Mrs. F. B. Walker Mrs. w. P. Futile, Mrs. H. M. Kochersperger, Mrs. John N. Champion, Mrs. John s. | Crogan. Others who had planned to go were disappointed at the last min ute.
 | A concert of special interest is to be given at Dwight Place church on Mon day by the Yale Freshman Glee, Ban- io and Mandolin clubs, assisted by Miss Mae Jean Colt, reader, and Miss Anna Frances Treat soloist. The ren- dering of popular songs by the clubs will contrast effectively with the more formal work of Miss Treat, whose abil- | ity as an artist has won her the inlpor- tant position she now holds in South | Norwalk. It will be remembered that Miss Treat formerly sang in the Ep- worth M. E. church of this city, and New Haven people will be glad to well come her again. Miss Colt always gains the appreciative interest of her audience and adds a charm to any pro- gramme. The concert is to be given under the auspices of the Dwight Place | C. E. society for the benefit of the new parish house. The young people are very eager in their plans for the evenings success, and are arranging to hold a sociable in the church par | Iors at the close of the entertainment and will serve cream and cake to those who wish it. +5:

 A very unique dramatic and social event has been arranged for Monday, May 25, when there will be performed on the grounds of the New Haven Lawn club, on Whitney avenue two of Shakespeare's best known comedies, by Ben Greet's company, the entire af- fair being under the auspices and
 management of the Yale Dramatic as- soeiation. MT. Greet, who has won fame this year by bringing the moral- ity play of "Everyman" to this coun- try, was the originator of these pas
 toral plays in England and for the past seventeen years he has success fully presented them, not only at OK ford and Cambridge universities but also at Royal Botanical Gardens in London, and at several of the leading country estates in Great Britain. Here in America, Harvard sent a petition to MT. Greet when his company ap-
 peared in "Everyinan" in Boston ask ing him to present his company, espe-
 cially the leading lady, Miss Wynne
 Matthison, in open air Shakesperean
 performances. As a result perform
 ances of this nature are to be given at Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton,
 Wellesley and the University of To-
 ronto. A charming spot at the left of for the stage. Beautiful trees form the
 proscenium arch and stage setting and
 the greensward the stage carpet, no ar l tificial staging being employed. On this natural stage will be seen Rosa lind, Orlando and other characters of
 "As You Like It." which MT. Greet
 will give at the matinee performance
 on May 25. Miss Matthison will play
 Rosalind, MT. Greet himself will ap-
 pear as the melancholy Jacques and
 the Orlando will be Robert Lorraine,
 now leading man in Grace Georges
 company. In the evening ''The Com edy of Errors" will be presented. Both
 these plays lend themselves readily to this outdoor treatment and the two performances will undoubtedly be the events of the dramatic season. The of fieers of the Dramatic association had great difficulty in obtaining the ser vices of the Greet company, as it sails for England on June 20, and they are working hard to make the occasion
