wood nymphs were given delight fully.
 The pastorale consisting of a classic interpretation by Dorothy c. Lyon and Gladys Borstleman and the peasant interpretation by Erma V. Chase and Eva Donning, were two of the prettiest numbers and were re- ceiVed with much applause.
 Both girls gave the charming story the dramatic as well as the humor. ous touch. The tilt of the head, the movement of body, the expression of the hands, every gesture made
 was expressive. They felt the part and made every one else in the au- dience feel it also. This work was
 better than that of many profess sionals.
 Concluding the program, Miss Irene Conner appeared in Jeane d'Arc when she hears the voices calling to help France in her misfortune and sees the sacred visions who aprS3r to her for aid. The voice who responded to her was given by Miss Bernice Nett1eton. Miss Conner did very good work and her grace, charming manner, appeal ing voice and dramatic interpretation thrilled her audience.

 | The first part Of the program was given by Mrs. Elizabeth Pattee Wal llach, which consisted of negro folk songs and stories. She was most en- tertaiuing in her two songs by Law | 'ence Dunbar, When Malindy Sings and Early in De Mornin'." Having spent most of her time in Virginia where she had a nanny of her own
 when a child, Mrs. Wallach told very 1 informally of the stories the negro folks talk about when gathered at their homes much in the same man ner as in the old colonial days when the family gathered around the fire place to listen to the stories told by the oldest member of the family. The traditions of the negro are as rich in humor and thrills as any of the StOrleS Of the White man, and Mrs. Wallach. with her charming dia- lect, was a treat. She gave several old and modern songs and told two of Uncle Remus' stories, ''T7he Tar Baby and "tBr'er Rabbit in De We'll" The members of the Art league are again to be congratulated for their splendid offering this month. Judg- ing from the packed audience in the auditorium, it is safe to say that the entertainment was also a great sue cess financially.

Classic art was revealed in delight full dance interpretations by the stu dents of Miss Benita " slocum's school last night at the High school auditorium under the auspices of the Bridgeport Art Leag que for the ben eft of the Fatherless Children of France. The graceful dancers took the audience back to the Grecian days when the maidens devoted their time in the development of the mind and body by athletic games, dances in the open fields and by the seashore. With artistic touch and fine rhythm of the music, the delightful background of the palest blue tinted with the golden setting of the sun and the dim re- freshing surroundings, the dancers gave g. program that was received with much applause and appreciation by the audience.
 Bridgeporters need not go to New York or any other city to witness true art. In the Slocum school there is to be found an orga nizatton whose work is equally as good as that of the Morgan dancers, though of course it Is not as largs as yet. The dancers last evening showed they had been guided by a sure true instinct for beauty and grace, combined with a deep and earnest appreciation of the artistic and classic. Miss Slocum has worked in this city always with the highest ideals and 0 lofty purpose ever before her and is fast achieving the place ltoward which her course has aIwaySsftcnded.
 VestraI Virgins tending a sacred fire was the opening of the program. followed by the Greek athletic games in which Elise Conner Bessie Donning, Gladys Murphy and Irene Conner participated. The games in- cluded the discus throwing, the stad. race and the rythmIc ball game.

4 Remarkable Letter
By Winifred Black

Of writing surged forward and with
a boldness born OF a determination
to show" the people I had just left,
I applied for a position as full
fedged copy-writer, although I had
just been an assistant It seemed
that I impressed the manager, for
am here now, a copy-writer, and
making good.
But here's where your part in the
story comes in:
For the first few months I was
dreadfully self conscious, as I was
among people much older than my
self Whenever two persons get to-
gether and began TO talk, I imme-
diately suspected they were talking
about me. During those few
months my pet phrases were, "Aw,
please tell mel" and What did you
say?" and sometimes What are
you laughing at?"
At last I began TO CRATE on every
ones nerves, and although I was
aware of il. 1 simply could not help
myself. I was sure that they were
talking about me and laughing al
me. Then two OF the women copy
writer's who liked me quite a bit, got
together and decided that they
would cure me Later they con-
fessed that their plan had been sug-
gested by an article you had writ
ten.
In the first place they got to-
gether and began TO talk in whispers
then they would glance at me and
laugh. Naturally, or rather self
consciously, I'd blush and get hot
all over" as the expression goes
When I was thoroughly uncomfort-
able, one Of them would saunter
over 10 me and say casually. 1--WE
were just telling about Mr.. So-and-
So, who wroote such-and- such an
article in yesterdays paper" I'd be
ashamed to say that 1 thought they
were talking about me. so I'd simply
give a sickly little smile and turn
away This kept on for some time
and then the women changed their
antics.
Now she's Cured.
During the lunch hour or when
our book was on press and we had
nothing 10 do. they would begin 10
discuss some widely known persons,
for instance Oscar Wilde. Rudyard
Kipling, Scott Nearing. and often
we discussed one OF your articles
that had probably been published
that day. The subjects would be-
come so absorbing and interesting
that I would completely forget my
self and enter into the discussions
with zest.
AS a final test these two women
10 whom 7 wis ever be indebted
told me their own personal ex-
periences: they played upon my
sympathy my generosity, my under
standing All selfish thoughts were
banished-for days they kept me %
sorbed in helping them work out
their problems: they would not give
me a minute 70 think about myself
Their energies overcame the self
consciousness that had seriously
threatened 10 put a damDer on my
