DissensiOn Arose
 At Meeting
 In Hartford

There is not a, little dissention in the ranks of the Republican women's party of this city over the meeting and conference of the party yesterday in Hartford. Instead of a calm and cool gathering as it should have been, the affair broke up in an indignation meeting. It was in some parts cool enough though, for many of the To- cal women who rose to speak were Samuel O. Prentice, who presided. Mrs. Joseph Alsop, who was eX- tremeIy active in the party during the prediction campaign, was told to ''cut it short and submit it in writ ing" when she arose to herald the merits of the Connecticut League of Republican women.
 But this diminuative war did not start in Hartford. It had an effec- tive beginning right here in Bridge port primarily between Mrs. w. E.. town committee chairman by John A. Leonard who holds a similar posi- ton in the mems comnitte, and Mrs H. Willard F'1eck. The appointmen of Mrs. Allen was made because Mrs Ellie N. SpeFry, women's town chair man, is. at present. absent from the c3ty. Mrs. Fleck believed that it was her duty to lead the Bridgeport women because she is tvice-chairmar IT of the Bridgeport Women'S Republi- can organization and should act ir | Sperry's absence.
 1 tice the meeting was '1ovely,'' but
 with Mrs. Sperry, Mrs Alsop an6
 their supporters the affair was t-dis | gusting."

CROWDS FLOCK TO
 HEAR DIR. GREENFIELD

Many interesting and illustrative examples of life in the far north were given last evening by Dr. Win red T. Grenfell in his lecture at the United church and later at the First VI. E. church last evening.
 Since 1887 Dr. Grenfell has been doing relief and welfare work among the people of Labrador and New Foundland and recently came back to he United States to raise an endow- ment fund of s1,50O,Oo0 for the In- ternational Grenfeli committed. Dr. Grenfeu explained in his talk last
 yening that about $75,O00 would be used as an annual allowance for the upkeep of the medical, social and .eifare work done in the far-off coun- try and also for the six hospitals
 hich the doctor has built in these two countries during his stay there.
 At both meetings last evening sub scription blanks were passed around md on them the members of the congregations made written promises 70 contribute certain amount to the fund either in monthly payment or i lump sum. Louis B. Powe of the Connecticut National bank, has been named local treasurer Of the fund.

ments of simplicity. The silhouette early in the autumn made up it's mind to be straight and all efforts to lure it aside from the straight path have been unavai1tng and this in, spite of the fact that it delights in bouffant effects, but bouffancy that has little or any influence upon it's avowed intention.
 One of the clever mediums through which bouffancy is introduced in striking contrast to the slim silhouette is the panel. Worth, who believes in doing unexpected things, has created an evening wrap, in which many panels drop from the shoulders and are caught in loops at the bottom. The background is of brocaded vel vet, the panels of the same material lined with metallic lace, and, is it necessary to add, they are far less concealed than revealed.
 Chiffon velvet is great favorite of the winter, and it of itself is so Ius- trously lovely, that it needs but lit tie elaboration. Then. too, it lends itself most readily to draping, a very pleasing trait in an evening wrap

ASK PRAYERS
 s, FOR CARDINAL

Baltimore, Dec. 1S-The following announcement concerning the health of Cardinal Gibbons, signed by Bishop O. B. Corrigan, Vicar General of the diocese, appears today in the Balti- more Catholic Review:
 ''The faithful of the Archdiocese are most anxious about the many re- ports concerning the health of our beloved cardinal.
 "It is gratifying to announce that he is under the best of medical care at the home of MT. Robert T. Shr:yer. Union Mills. His condition varies from hour to hour but those in at tendance are hopeful of early recov- cry.
 His devoted people are urged to offer daily prayers for him."
 The cardinal was reported to have had very comfortable day yester- day after a restless night caused by a slight attack of Indigestion. He sat up during the afternoon and ev- ening and listened with interest to the reading of newspapers.
 Word was received at the cardinals 8 residence from Union Mill, this morn ing that he had a good nights rest and had said he felt better than at any time since he went there

fortunate? To most of us, alas, and alack, the mercenary side of the question is the one with which we are forced to be the most concerned. Then if we can't quite reconcile our selves to entirely foregoing ermine, we have the wrap fashioned of white velvet and give to it just touch of the priceless peltry. Or it may be that rather than the velvet we choose broadcloth.
 There is a possibility that an all white wrap does not enhance our own particular type of beauty; then, if price is no object, we quite possi- bly select an affair of mo1eskin or seal or combine one of the latter with one of the so adaptable less costly furs. Monkey fur and caracul are two of the best intentioned pelts in the world-they will either one of them-do almost anything and any where.

The music lovers of Stratford have a rare treat in store for them on Fri day, Dec. S1, when the Oberlin O., College 'Glee club comes to that com munity to give one of it's concerts. I his club is to include Stratford while making it's concert enga agemepts for Christmas recess extends through some of the New England states, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington,
 proxinsate ely 3,5eez miles of travel, and appears in about 30 concerts an nually. In securing the Oberlin Glee club for an entertainment, the Mems club Of the Congregational church are certain of offering a very strong musical attraction and also of pre- senting to the people of Stratford and vicinity what is probably the best | college g1ee club in the country.
 The club was organized in about 1880 and is therefore entering upon its fortieth year as a concert organi- zation. For almost 40 years the diff ferent boys have been on the road furnishing a very high class enter tainment. The winter tour has usu- |, ally extended westward; this. year the tour will be through the Eastern states. No other college glee cub has had such 8 consistently strong record as the Oberlin club. It has set a high standard of musical excellence and wholesome amusement: many college clubs are watching closely the work of the Oberlin club and are en- deavoring to put on an entertainment of the same high quality

 The secret of the success in this fife is making the best of what you less you have a perfectly open mind. One great trouble in this world is that so many people approach every thing in a plaster cast of prejudice quently they find everything disap- pointing.
 One girl made a habit of telling her friends just what kind of a house she was going to have when She mar ried. She knew just exactly what she wanted, even down to the candle shades in her room When one of these girl friends went to call on her after her marriage, imagine her sur prise to find things exactly opposite to what her friend had always planned. When she asked her why, the young wife laughed and said: This is the only thing I could get, so I just scrapped all my precon- ceived ideas, and am making the best of what I have" What a wise little girl she was. She was happy because of her adaptability. Nothing is quite like one would have it if one could. Everything is | changing, and it is foolish to try to stick to old things always, because 1 they are old.
