When. you're feelin' rather blue And you don't L~@ow what tr do; When this old world seems drear and dark as jet; < '~+ Nss When Eoa think Of home. sweet home, And the girl across hesfoam.> Your thoughts are rudely shattered by"'That Agony Quartet''- Sweet Rosie O'Grady, my dear lit
 tie rose. Rings on my fingers and bells on
 my toes," Little Annie Rooney" "By the old
 mill stream" And Don't wake me up, let me
 dream, dream, dream" When the night with yells is teem-

 And a million cats are screaming, And all you do is rave and fume and

 Oh, the hee-haw of donkey And the screeching of a monkey Are music in comparison, you bet; Don't waste your time in weeping, Or try lodging it-no sleeping When you hear the bowling chorus of

&o the task of encouraging his fellow countrymen in their. hour Of tribule-s ton and exnort them to rally. to the, support aof the Allied nations which have pledged their all to the redemp-- ton of Poland. x
 It was most natural that Our Polish residents should be eager to hear di- lectlss from Mr: Paderewsd authentic facts as to the accomplishments of. Polish recruits ip. France, as well as an explanation.stn their native tongue, of tl{ aims and hopes of all true. Pole ssV.ho realize that their national aspirations can never be attained by af1Iiatfon with the central powers. And Sd through the indefatigable ef- forts of their esteemed reverend pas tor they at last had an opportunity to listen to the official spokesman of Poland, who. came here with his charming wife the head of the Polish White Cross.
 The visit of these notable guests was an historical event, not only for those of f.Polish blood, but for the whole population of New Britain as we'll. At any timo, the city would have felt it. self honored to play tRe host to the distinguished pianist whose talent has thrilled the world; but especially at this time was MT. Paderewski par ticuarly welconaessguest when the fate of that country 3s being decided which has given him to- America and so many fine, sturdy residents to New Britain.
 The occasion was gala one in every sense of the word.F The recep- tion was attended by Representative citizen whtt desired to assist Reverend Father Bo3nowskt, in doing honor to the Euests of the day, and the spirit of genuine, hearty cooperation, dis played by his fellow townsmen must have been gratifying indeed to the rector Of the Polish church.
 The inspiring message brought by MT. Paderewski; the touching appeal of his gracious spouse; the masterly oration delivered by Congressman Augustine Lonergan; the generous donations Ito the funds for the Polish army, sand the general expression by all thes speakers of. their Aeartfelt sympathy .4sS1tff the Polish cause, made the event the most brilIfaastEof its kind ifss the history of the City.
 B 1t was 4 ffihJse sp MT. and q{Afrss. Paderewsli to the Poles of New Brit ain, and most especially was 1t a per sonal, splendid compliment to the reverend gentleman who, by his goal and energy and sterling qualities has moulded the Polish element in this city into an ardent patriotic body commanding the respect and esteem of the entire populace.
