ssFreShies'' Had a Party

Thirteen girls and twelve boys, all
members of the Freshman class of the
Wildwood high school, betook them
selves on Wednesday night last, sew
orally and in groups, to the Elberon
hotel on east Poplar avenue, where ar
engagements had been made for their
entertainment by Stanley Kalbacb, one
of their number. The roportion of
girls and boys was almost perfect, could
scarcely have been better balanced If
arranged by design. AS the class num-
bers but thirty all told, this class party
On Wednesday night was almost an
unanimous affair; and full advantage
was taken of the good working major
ity. Many forms of diversion were
resOrted to. Games of all kind were
played, some moderate in action, some
rollieking. Music and singing helped
to enliven the occasion, and after a
considerable amount of surplus energy
had been worked off in this way the
reserve force of vitality was summoned
to the front, and the light fantastic
form Of exercise resorted to. The guest
of honor was a Keystoner, Miss Julia
Lasky, OF Pottstown, introduced by the
Misses Alice and Carolina Colberg.
When the dancing vas announced
Genevieve Hartley took her station at
the piano and it was not long ere the
merrymakers were "chaslng the glow
ing hours with flying feet" amidst the
mazes of the mystic waltz. After the
dancing had ceased the boys and girls
were escorted TO the dining room by
Mr.. and Mrs. William D. Kalbach, I'M
Gle aud aunt of Stanley Kalbach, the
class entertainer. A fine luncheon was
presented to view, to which "tired
natures" did ample justice. Those
were Lucy ODER, Emily Castor, Julia

THIS CITY CHOSEN FOR N. Y. EAST CONFERENCE
Trinity Church Asked to En. certain Important Metho-
 dist Convention.

For the first time in it's history, New Britain has been invited to en- certain the New York East confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal church which convenes in April At the meeting of the official board of Trinity M. E. church last evening a communication was received from Bishop L., B. Wilson, of New York, and the cabinet, urging that the church accept the invitation to hold the conference here, and a commit tee. was appointed, with power, to con- sider the proposal. The committee consists of L. l.. Bailey, Dugald Me- Milan, M. D. Stockwell, E. J. Skinner and M. H. Camp. A report from the
 committee is expected within a few
 days
 The New York East conference of the Methodist church embraces all the territory in this state west of tho Connecticut river and also lower New York. It is considered the most in- f1uential conference of the church and many of it's members hold positions of importance in church affairs.
 It has been customary to extend the conference over eight days, but Rev. Warren F. Cook, pastor of Trinity church, believes this should be re- duced to four days in view of condi- tions brought about by the war. He has arranged a program which would l admit of such a reduction and believes I all the work of the conference can l be disposed of in that time. One of I the greatest difficulties the church | faces in holding the conference here 1 is the lack of accommodations for l out-of town guests. There are 35S l ministers in the conference and many | of these are accompanied by their families during the conference. Be- | cause of lack of suitable hotels here ! it would be necessary for members o1 l Trinity church to open their homes tc
 the visitors, and it is believed the diff. ficuIty will be overcome in this man l ner. Bishop Wilson is one of the lead 1 ing churchmen of the country. He
 has recently returned from France
 where he was Engaged in work for the
 Y. M. c. A., and if the conference i: 1 held here, it is probable he will deliver a thrilling address on conditions as ht
 saw theml in that war-swept country
