Wilmot, of. sos stratford avenue, to make reports upon the receipts in the financial campaign for the benefit of the Bridgeport Protective association. Those who have not already answered the appeal may send the amount of their contribution of Mrs. Wilmot and same will be added to the amount re- ceived. Whereas the. committee has
 met with great sympathy throughout the city during its fortnight campaign as yet the funds are not sufficiently large to proceed in the new work, that of preventative work in the city at large.
 What has impressed the directors Of the association most of all has been the stimulation which the girls them selves have received through the pub lie interest in the work. There has been keen appreciation of the efforts of the committees and those who con- tribute to it's support. The very spirit of the girls has been a pleasure to note The way in which even the homely tasks are performed leaves with those who employ them an irn- pression of the thoroughness, and wdI- 1ingness. They receive the suggestions and the instructions with gladness and immediately the results are seen in the lives and habits of the girls who are living in the home even for short pe- riods.
 The girls are expressing their appre- citation, their thank yous to the public by renewed efforts. If in need of extra, help even for one morning or one day it is a satisfaction to know that eff1- cient help may be secured through the home at 591 Myrtle avenue. The work of the home needs the support of every individual in Bridgeport and the vii cinity All races, nationa1ities and creeds are welcomed and sheltered when worthy of the attention Of the association When not in condition to associate with those in the home they are sheltered elsewhere.

MISS LINEHAN TO STAR
 IN ONE-ACT COMEDY

Miss Marguerite Idnehan will make her appearance once more as Ethel in the one-act play How The Vote Was Won, at the Casino, April 2
 Miss Linehan's most recent success was in .eThe Melting Pot'' last month. Her friends will remember with pleas ure her excellent portrayal of the difficult role of Jean Quiaxano, a part in which nothing but Yiddish and pure Hebrew were spoken It is almost unbelievable that charm ing, vivacious young woman like Miss Ldnehan- could transform herself in-s to a Jewish woman of the old ortho- dox school, but she played the part with exceptional school
 Miss Linehan,s latest role is that Of a charming young English wife. who is not exactly an advocate of suffrage but is forced to become an ardent one because of her relatives and political conditions. Miss Line hans conception of the part is in deed clever. Her many friends wish her the greatest of success Miss Linehan has appeared in many of the Alumni Drama clubs plays
