Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-10-12
ATTEND THE SUFFERS
Given By Ladies of St Palrick's
 Parish Next Week.

] Every person who values his or her life and who in the past have at tended the suppers given by the la dies of St Pa,rick's parish in their hall on Porter street, can remember what enjoyment, qualification, pleas ure, delight and comfort it was for them to be present on those festal and festive occasions. To Byron is ascribed the remark that he had generally found good flyers to be amiable gentlemen and good friends" A great many would then ascribe to the stomach the credit of being the seat of our noblest inn pulses. Who is there that can arise from feast given by the ladies of St Patrick's parish without feelings of love and pleasure, gratitude and generosity, prompting them to noble and kind acts and the most amiable sentiments towards his or her friends? It is not even necessary to have actually partaken in and par ticipated of the good things which have been prepared so carefully, ar ranged so nicely, and distributed so generously by the beautiful ladies of St Patrick's, to feel ourselves lifted out of the rut of our own sordid eX- istences and our enveloping chain of self1shness. ,G'he very presence of the ladies of St Patrick's makes everyone more agreeable, and the very atmosphere of the occasion ntc to l,l understanding between themselves and the world Who is there that ever heard of a person committing a crime or doing any mean action i'm mediately after partaking of a gen. erous and bounteous feast. On the other hand how tractable and ap- proachable a person becomes after having disposed of the good things provided for his appetite, then is the time his heart strings are open ed, his purse also, and if any one has occasion to request favor, then is the time his request should be made, for if ever, then is the time it will be granted. The wise wife, who, to the question as to what was the best way to manage a husband, responded by this terse reply, Feed the brute;;" was sagacious member of a usually sagacious sex.
 It is said that eating, if not the foundation of genius is at least the inspiration of all industry and en- terprise. Who is there that can re- sist the temptation to be agreeable and to work thoroughly well at his business after having regaled him. self heartily and refreshed the springs of his being with a sumptu- ous meal. It is said the more ad vanced we become in the art of eat ing the higher we ascend in the scale of civilization. A certain author says:
 We may live without poetry, music
 and art,
 We may live without conscience
 and live without heart,
 We may live without friends and
 live without books,
 But civilized man cannot live with
 out cooks"
