DONNYBROOK FAIR
At SAENGERBUND

DRAPED IN EMERALD GREEN
Hall FeStoOned with Garlands OF
Shamrock and the Harp Flag.
Ladies' Club Attracts Much Atten-
tiOn-PrIzes Awarded To Successful
COntestants-Is Popular saint

81. Patricks Day was celebrated by the
Saengerbund at its hall last night with a
regular 'Donnybrook Fair"-that is, all
its pleasant and attractive features. The
hall. which resounds every evening with
German foIksongs, had been transformed
into a scene from dear Ould Ireland"
Everything was decorated in the green
OF the Emerald Isle and the shamrock and
the harp flag were in evidence every
where. There were Irish flags. Irish mu~
sic. Irish songs. Irish dances. Irish cos
tunes. irish wit and humor. and here and
there bits OF the rich old brogue Of Ire
land were heard serving as a medium OF
conversation between the pseudo Mes and
O's Of Teutonic extraction
Everything Irish.
There were also Irish refreshments and
Irish pretty colleens and lads from TIP
perary and County Kerry and Roscom-
mon.
If the festival had taken place IN old
Ireland itself Il could not have been more
periodically and thoroughly Irish 1t was
one Of the most successful entertainments
given by the Saengefbund. and it goes
without saying that ST. Patrick is not
only a most popular saint with the saen-
gerbund. but that his anniversary will be
observed henceforth every year by our
German brothers"
Among the groups which attracted par
ticular attention was the Shamrock Col
leens" Of the Saengerbund. composed Of
the Ladies' Club OF that society. They
were attired in dainty white Irish linen
dresses and wore green sashes over their
shoulders decorated with the trefou and
the harp. They were: Miss H Engels

After two sleepless NIGHTS, during
which all the latent superstition OF his
nature had come to the front Harold

self of his ill-omened opal at the earl
lest possible moment
He had had nothing but ill-luck since
he owned the thing. the browning
piece being his quarrel with his fan
Gee, Marion Hubert. She had de-
clared that the great gem in its unique
setting was too SNOWY an article of
jewelry for a man of good taste to
wear. He had thought differently, and
the outcome had been his final dis
missal
Yet how to dispose of the ring was
somethinG of a puzzle to the unimag
NATIVE Ashton
he offered to give the expensive
jewel TO any of his acquaintance they
would undoubtedly think he had taken
leave of his senses.
To sell it, even for third its actual
value, would take time; and he wanted
to get rid of it at once
Ashton remembered having read of
a man who destroyed his opal by the
vigorous use of a hammer but he
could not bear the thought of running
the beautiful gem.
Finally he decided that the thing to
dc would be to lose it. But the simple
and obvious methods of Kidding him
self of it, by casting it from a rapidly
moving train, or hurting it into the
ocean from the deck Of a steamboat,
never so much as entered his head

After thanking Mrs. Flanagan sub

Ashton walked over to her side and
told her the address in low tone.
After thanking Miss Brown, Ashton
hurried from the Office, with the en-
velope safe in his pocket, and back to
the seclusion of his own room where
he gave himself up to the pleasant
task of packing the opal up, prepare
tory to losing it once more.
He did the ring UP in a small box,
upon which he pasted the address
which he cut from the envelope.

he remarked as he stuck several
stamps upon the little package. 1T
