Elks Charity Ball to Take
Place Easter Mon
day

The appearance of Denis A. McCar-
thy of Boston, Mass, in Bridgeport
next Monday evening promises to be
one of the few rare literary treats
which it is Bridgeports privilege to
enjoy in the course of a busy war
winter. Mr.. Mccarthy stands fore
most in the ranks of living American
poets. He is generally acceded to be
the most melodious of our lyric writ
ers. His themes are many and varied
and such as appeal to practical men
and women as well as lovers of liter
allure. Intense love of the land of his
adoption, tender yearning for the Erin
of his boyhood, love of home and a
whole-hearted sympathy for children
have found appealing utterance in his
musical verse.
Mr.. Mccarthy will appear at St.
Augustine's Hall, Monday evening, at
Is o'clock, under the auspices of the
Catholic Charitable Bureau. Special
permission has Been obtained from
the Fuel Administration for the hold
ing of the lecture. The proceeds will
go toward the maintenance of st. Vim
cents Day Nursery and the general
relief needs of the bureau which, in
these war times, are unusually heavy.
The occasion affords Bridgeporters a
two-fold opportunity of enjoying a
literary treat and of contributing to
a worthy charity.
Mrs. Mollie DAILY Ogren, who is the
| organist and choir director at st.
James church in Stratford, has
| charge of the musical program Quite
a number of Mr.. McCarthy's poems
have been set to music and several of
these will be sung. There will be a
quartet comprised of Mrs. Agnes
| Lane Mcnamara, soprano, soloist at
| St. James church in Stratford; Mrs.
! Ella Harrington Donnelly, contralto
of the Universalist church choir;
John Miles, tenor of the st. Charles
choir and Albert Lapke, bass at the
United Church. Mrs. Ogren will be
| the accompanist of the evening.
| The program will open with the
singing of my Country, 'Tis of Thee
by the quartet, and the other num-
bers will comprise Remembrance 81

The. Elks' charity ball will be held
as usual on Easter Monday night,
April LIST. At the last meeting of
Bridgeport Lodge, No. sc, B. P. o. E.,
it was decided to hold the Annual
Charity Ball at The Stratfield Hotel.
The following committee were ap-
pointed to make arrangements: Law
renee T. Gallagher, chairman; Hum
phrey A. Moynihan, Henry Green
stein, R. R. Mead, Hubert J. Donnelly,
James T. TTainor, Alden Fardee, F.
c. Fassanello, John J. Conway, Sam
uel L. Tuthill.
1t is the intention of the EIks to
make this the largest and best of all
Charity Balls, and they decided to
hold it at The Stratfeld, believing
they could make it more enjoyable
for the hundreds of people who do not
dance, as there will be amusement
and plenty of good music for all. The
sun parlor will be used for card par
ties and there will be dancing in the
dining room as well as the ball room
This ball is the annual affair of the
Elks that helps a great deal in pro-
viding Christmas baskets and other
charities of the Elks. Every dollar of
the receipts of this affair is to help
all those in want in the city, partic-
ularly at Christmas time.

breast that they're there at all.-Ohio

background every detail stands out
prominently, small defects are magnihed,
and minor touches count greatly.
