'HThe Flappers' Boulevard" will soon be extinct as a parade ground for ultra misses to show their sun day fnery, as the f1appers who have visited the place during the last few weeks have been asked to des1st rom their weekly practice. From the title one might believe it mean the sea wall at Seaside park, or the main walk in Beardsley park, probaby Park avenue near Seaside park, or perhaps the old Main street ltself, but To and behold, it is none of these! It is none other stop than Bridgeport railroad stationi
 Sunday Rendezvous.
 For some reason the railroad sta tion which to some people mlgnC seem only a place where big smoky trains stop, appears to be especially appealing to several hundred Bridge port misses who make it the deSuna- tion of their Sunday walks
 The usual line of march is as fol- lows: Up the middle aisle to the le1t side aisle thence to the right a1s!e to the platform, than to the stairs from where the group precedes to the west bound platform.
 When Mrs. Blanch Sturg1s, the Travellers Aid worker arrived in the see the multitude of young girls com ing into the railroad station each Sunday, and during the first few weeks of her stay tried to figure out pleasant way of asking the young sters to desist from this deplorable practice.
 She asked the girls why they came to the station and received the an swer that Bridgeport provided no bet ter place where the girls might go. She suggested the Y. w. c. A: houses, or the Catholic Community house, but both of these were ignored as not offering the same advantages as the railroad station.
 Easter Parade.
 DO you remember last Easter, what a perfectly beautiful day it was? ?' said Mrs. Sturgis, when asked about the situation. f'I stood in that middle aisle about five hours and saw over 300 young girls stylishly dressed, para ding up and down those aisles. Late in the afternoon I became so disgusted with the existing condition

that I went into the women's waiting room where about 100 girls were con gregated and there made a speech.
 Although I do not quite rem mber what I said, it has doubtless served its purpose with some of the girls. be- cause every Sunday since then have Sunday was an especially small day when only about 75 girls appeared during the afternoon.
 "Of course it is not the job of the creation places of the young people of the city but because everyone knows or should know that the pur- pose of the railroad station is not it solely for the purpose for which it was built" the worker continued.
 'Since coming to this city I have had many interesting cases. but the Sunday afternoon parade has been my biggest problem" she said.
 Tells of Case
 It is the policy of the organiza- tion workers not to tell of any inti- mate local cases, but to illustrate un- usual cases. Mrs. Sturgis told of a case on Thursday evening, when a little immigrant, a Scandinavian boy, about IT years of age. arrived in the English. Mrs. Sturgis. who is i'm mediately on the platform whenever a train arrives, stepped up to the boy who was staring wildly around, and asked him if she might be of as- sistance.
 He made motions which signified that he did not understand and then flashed his passport. When she found out his nationality, the Travel CTS Aid worker, imm mediately so1ici- tated the aid of a Swedish boy in the station, who could in part under stand the speech of the immigrant. It was found that he was on his way to Brookfield but had missed the train for that place. Mrs. Sturgis placed the boy in a local hotel for the night
 She saw to 1t that he was on time for the train the next morning. One can easily imagine the multitude of things which might have happened if some organization like the Travel CTS Aid was not on the job solicitious of the comfort and safety of young or uncertain travellers.

The first of two ball games tomor- row afternoon on the Paradise lawn diamond, will be the Knights of Co., fun1bus-St Charles game. It will get under way shortly after one o'clock. and a large crowd is expected to be on hand to give the new K c. team a flying start
 The K. of C. boys in more ways than one expect to put Stratford back on the map in something besides po- litical feuds. starvation stories and smallpox. Fifty years ago, little more or less, the late James ORourke and the old Osceola ball team of Stratford, was feared wherever base ball was played in the state. Those old times will again be a reality If the K. of c. boys have their way. Hand ball. and bowling will also be on the athletic program, and teams formed, that as many members as possible may take part in some sport.
 Paul Flynn is captain of the base Tban team, and Tim Ryan, manager. If pitcher Carroll. formerly of the Malleable Iron works team, and now company, can be pried away from the lawnmower at his Windsor avenue home long enough to twirl, should prove a tower of strength to the K. of c. team Incidentally he is a dar ~0rous hitter, fast on the bases, and d good all around ball player Those who have seen him hlppodrome in some of the amateur games in which the All Stars and other teams were involved last summer, and this spring, believe he has the maktngs of being a good ball player, with little more age, experience, and more regular playing.
 In the meantime, with already membership of about 150, the newly organized K. of c. chapter in Strat- lE of T11a he as its present objective point. and Stratford and adjoining communities will be combed for recruits Each member is expected to brlng In at next few weeks. A special commit tee to boost the organization has Judge Thos. C. Coughlin as the char man. Others on the committee are Dinan. Vincent Foley, Paul Flynn, Dewey AIlard and John Rupee, Jr
