When the Second Loan started word
came from the Central Committee that
the women were counted upon for a

took the order literally and went
ahead.
Mrs. Coulter Huyler raised $4,000,

PETRARCH,s LAURA

In the first days Of April, 134S, just
$40 years ago, Laura de Moves, the
heroine of Petrarch's amatory poetry,
died at Avignon. Laura was not yet
20, and Petrarch was %, when they
first met. She was a married woman
but that did not prevent the poet from
bestowing upon her a devotion that
continued to her death, more than 20
years afterward. Laura was the
theme of a series Of sonnets which
have made the name of Petrarch i'm
mortal. Although her fame was thus
spread all over Italy, it did not add
to her happiness, for her husband,
jealous of her, was enraged by the
celebrity given his spouse by the poet.
He had no cause for complaint, for
she remained faithful to her marriage
vows, and bore him ten children.
The constant persecution and brutal
ity of her jealous husband ended only
with her death, which was due to the
plague. The widower married again
within seven months.

MRS. BELMONT
TO SPEAK AT
RALLY, APRIL 6

Mrs. August Belmont, who comes to
this city, in behalf of the Red Cross
at the High School Auditorium on
Saturday, April 9Th, is probably in
greater demand than any other wo-
man speaker in the country at the
present time. This is due to the fact
that Mrs. Belmont brings a message
from the front which is full of thrill
ing experiences and word pictures of
the boys in the American expedition
airy forces. Mrs. Belmont spent four
months in France and returned a few
weeks ago. She was Immediately
booked up for all the large cities in
the country and fortunately Bridge
port was able to get a date before she
left for her Western tour.
Mrs. Belmont, before her marriage
to the distinguished New York. cap
ftalist, was Eleanor Robson, an &C
tress of rare dramatic attainment and
ability, favorably known throughout
the country and abroad. Ever since
the war broke out she has been &C
lively interested in Red Cross work
and when it became apparent Amer
lea would have to become a party to
the great struggle, Mrs. Belmont dou-
! bled her efforts and gave her whole
service and purse to the cause
| She was appointed a special repre-
sentative of the War Council to visit
France and ascertain the exact con-
| dition of our boys at the front. Dur
| ing her trip she was made a special
guest of the French government and
at one period took a ten days auto
mobile trip through the front lines in
charge Of French officials. She saw
the American boys on the firing line,
fit and eager for the opportunity so
soon to come to them. She made a
number of addresses in the camps
and was warmly welcomed every
where she went.
Mrs. Belmont has a delightful per-
sonality and her appearance on the
stage gives her a decided advantage
as a public speaker. Her report to
the Red Cross on her return was so
complete the officials of the Red Cross
requested her to personally convey
the message to the people of America.
This she agreed to do and arrange
ments were made for an extended
tour.
Arrangements are being made
whereby the Minute Women of Bridge
port will be given a place of honor at
the meeting. The Minute Women of
Bridgeport stand out very conspicu-
ously at Red Cross headquarters in
New York, when the result of their
work on tag day was reported there
and il was suggested by Mrs. Belmont
she be given an opportunity of talk
ing to the Minute Women of this city.
Mrs. W. H. F1eck will get the cap
tains together in few days and send
out the word and the greeting which
will meet Mrs. Belmont will be one
which she will long remember.
