matters the better It will be for all con-

of them most likely to engage in indus
tries. are all against a policy of Cow
eminent interference, and as their fore
fathers proved their capacity for sue

reason to suppose that those who may
IN future handle business OF this sort

interference at all.

SCORE NURSES

At 8 meeting of the Alumni Grad uate Nurses of Bridgeport Hospital held Monday night. at the Nurses Home many questions of local inter est were discussed Considerable crit icism was brought to bear on the con- duct of undergraduate nurses in charging eXOrbitant fees for services during the past influenza epidemic. It was decided that fees in the future were to range from $2S a week in or dinary eases, $50 a week for maternity cases and s35 a week for contagious cases.
 Another decision regulating what constitutes a days work was also reached. In the future if a nurse goes on a, case. before o'clock in the af- ternoon she is entitIelI to charge for a. full day. Other confusing questions were discussed.
 Other meetings are contemplated at which general subjects will be dis eEssed. Next Friday night Judge Wheeler will talk on "Americaniza- ton"

We emerged through the companion, and I stepped aside as the others rushed by. There was no shout, no cheer, the fellows seeming to realize the desperate nature of their work
 and the importance of surprise. They were outnumbered five to one, and their only hope of success lay in ren- dering their opponents helpless before they could rally to a defense. All the pent-up hate of years was in their hearts, blazed madIy in their eyes :; they were tigers leaping at the throat of their prey, yet sane enough to com prehend even Tn their blOod-rage that they must act together. It was over so quickly I scarcely saw it all. My eyes swept from group to group-the four tOiling at the cover of the main hatch; the fellows racing toward the forecastle; and Watkins squad driv- ing straight into the grouped watch beyond the foremast.

Social And Personal Doings In The WOmans World
NATIONAL Y. ". 6. A. COMPLETES
 ATTRACTIVE CENTER FOR GIRLS
Industrial Womens Service Center on Barnum Avenue to Be Great Recreational Center for Working Girls of East side-Opens for Inspection Monday
 Miss Brown Director.

One of the first buildings completed by the National Board of the Y. W. c. A and which serves as a direct community and social center for the working girls of Bridgeport will be formally opened on Monday evening, March 3.1, at 8 o'clock. The attractive home which Is situated at 1,146 Bar mum avenue will be known as the In dustriaI Woman's Service Center of the Y. W. c. A. and will be under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Brown, of Meridian, Miss, who has been in this city since November l, 1918.
 Work on the building was started last August and was planned to have been finished by January 15 but cn account of the carpenters strike was not completed until now. Meanwhile Miss Brown and her staff of associate workers established a. temporary Y. home at 2,112 Seaview avenue where the working girls were served hot lunches during noon hours. But rec reatiOn work had to be conducted at SokOI hall.
 The new building was planne1 as a recreation center for the numerous girls that came here from out of town to work in the factories during the war. But the necessity of such a cen ter became obvious even though the war had ended, and the National War Work Council decided to complete the building to be used in this city as a temporary center for the employees of the factories on the East Side.
 The recreation home is a most at tractive place, both inside and out side. It has been built on modern principles and has all the latest i'm provements and accommodations. The walls and ceiling of every room have the stipple stone finish and the dull brown wood work which gives the interior a very attractive and homelike appearance. The first floor has the spacious, attractive cafeteria, which is open to all men and women employed in the factories on the East Side. They can either bring their own lunches to eat there during the noon hour, or buy luncheon at the cafeteria at very reasonable prices. The cafeteria has a seating capacity of $50. Large door windows open on both sides of the room to porches where the girls may rest after lun- cheon. The chairs and tables are finished in a dull brown to match the woodwork of the walls. and the cur tains for the rooms and other decor atIons will be completed by Mrs. HeI- en Criss of New York city, interior decorator of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A.
 The Iavatories. one for men and one for women, have the skyIights and are equipped to meet every need of the user. The kitchen is In the back. of the cafeteria. The first floor

GENEVIEVE WARD.

Most romantic has been the career of Genevieye Ward, the famous ac- tress who has delighted three genera tiOns. She was born in New York, the daughter of a colonel in the Unit ed States army. She was sent to Eu- rope as a child to have her voice trained, and when only F fell in love with a Russian nobleman, Count Con stantine de Guerbel, of Warsaw. He proposed marriage and was accepted, but broke off the engagement when he found a weaIthier lady. The pret- ty American girl was not to be cast aside so easily. She gained an audi ence with Car Alexander IL, and laid her case before him, with the re- suit that the Count was forced to make good his promise. The bride left her husband at the church door immediately after the ceremony. She went to Milan, where she made her operatic debut in 1856 and later sang in London, Paris and America. An injury to her voice, due to over-exer- ton, forced her to leave the opera, and for a time she taught singing in New York. In 1873 she became an ac- tress, later joining Sir Henry Irving and other celebrities.
