COL 0NIALL PARTY ! OF ART LEAGUE
 UNIQUE SUCCESS
Rev. William Wallace Rose Praises Benjamin Frank
 lin In Lecture.

Unusually attractive and unusually interesting was the Colonial Tea par ty, given yesterday afternoon at the Bridgeport Art league rooms for the members of the league. With hair powdered and gowns in a fashion worn by their great great grandmoth- CTS, the members of the organization greeted each other at 3 o'clock. Rev. William Wallace Roses interesting address upon "The Man Behind Washington and Lincoln," was the chief feature of the afternoons pro- gram. According to MT. Rose. Benjamin Franklin was the man be- hind both Washington and Lincoln. The gradual rise of Franklin from an humble printer to one of the great est statesmen of the world, was trac- ed in the talk. American humor, patriotism, science, religion and in vention, would not be what it is, ac- cording to MT. Rose, were it not for Franklin who does not receive a full share of the honor due him.. George Washington, said MT. Rose, might not have been the man he was, were it not for Franklin who paved the way for him and Washington inspired Lin

The Lonely cotswolds Nearly Touch

 The Cotswolds are an example of the variety of natural scenery that Eng land succeeds in packing away within her narrow sea barred boundaries. Here, within three hours of the largest city in tlN world, you can walk in complete loneliness oyer grassy road that follows the route laid out by Ro- man engineers, with a tumbled sky line of real mountains on your right and sweep of empty fields falling away to the left. You can take tea in an old Roman villa, where the tiled courtyard is still smooth and tight; you can sleep in an inn that has apparent ly not changed it's habits or its bill of fare since the days of Richard the Crusader.

They are well bred little hills compared with the Alps or the Rockies, but they have the true mountain flavor of loneliness and sturdy charm.

No drafting whatever has been done
