 records pertaining to the League and the Cottage was sealed ana placed in l the cornerstone in the chimney by
 Mrs. P. L. Holzer Despite the dreari- i ness of the day outside, the roaring fire in the huge fireplace which goes
 almost across one end of the cottage, made it cheerful and bright Inside.
 Mrs. c. Lincoln Banks, whose skill las a decorator is well known, had made the interior of the big room fglow with color. Candles in fantas-
 tical1y shaped lanterns added their light to that of the fireplace. A very delightful program was much en- joyed. Miss Katherine Foley gave shadow dance in front of the big fire place and Miss Beatrice Marsh three readings that were greatly enjoyed. Mrs. Fred Beardsley's shadow pie lures of some of the members were w.. read ghost story that was delight fully mysterious and thrilling and

 poems one on the Anne Hatheway lCottage. A. the conclusion of the

 Room 6os in the First National
 Bank building Is one of if not the l ha,e-i %Il ,feg %I,o headquarters of D. Fairchild Wheeler,
 Food Director for this city and his ) corps of very able assistants who are ! engineering the Food Conservation l Campaign in Bridgeport. Mrs. H. Willard F1eck is- the chairman of the
 Food Conservation Committee and
 Mrs. Samuel O. Shaw is chairman of the Home Economies Committee. Ac- y cording to the heads of this move I ment everything is going with the ut
 most smoothness and in one district
 one of the captains had her section lcovered by noon yesterday.
 Of course the campaigners are bound al to meet with some malcontents for : there are those who would not be in
 sympathy with any movement of the , kind. who are so selfish, so bound up
 within themselves that they are not
 willing to do the slightest thing to . lhelp. 1t is the same selfish and un4 . patriotic people that bring down on
 a whole nation restrictions and reg
 ulations that would otherwise not be Il in force. One woman who lives on Q West Liberty street near West ave- e nue when asked to sign the Food n Pledge, which is really little enough 7. lin itself. absolutely refused to sign. d saying that she, didn't give a damn 5. for this country" Furthermore she
 influenced the woman who lived in
 the flat over her so that she wouldn't \ sign either. Another woman on Pe- IL auonnock street voiced practically the H same sentiment. She said she didn't F care for this government and she II wouldn't sign the pledge card. Ii Most of the generals have. their Il captain selected and they in turn Il have their aides.
