Hosts.

The complimentary banquet to COn~
gressman E. J. Hill, given by Bridge-
Harbor No. 10, at the Windsor hotel in
that city, last. night, was a highly
enjoyable and successful affair. Post-
master William H. Marigold acted as
toaStmaster, and filled the position with
ability bordering upon gift. The guest
of honor sat at the right of the toast-
master, with Mayor Thomas P. Taylor
at the left.

The tables with snowy linen and
mounds of roses flanked by waving
palms was a rare sight of beauty. The
service was exceptionally fine. At
each plate was a rose. The souvenirs
of the occasion were finely gotten up,
each card bearing a. view of Bridgeport
harbor and a likeness of Congressman
Hill. The menu was:

Cavire and Anchovy.

Blue Points, Deep Shells.

Sticks.
SOUP.

During the evening this original com-
position was sung to the air of “A Hot
Time in the Old Town.”

Come along, are you ready?

We willhave a time to-night.

When Harbor Number 10 meets

You know they’re out of sight
Inhaving and in giving

A good time to all their‘ friends _
They will keep the ball a rolling, boys,
Until their banquet ends.

When you see our congressman is here,
You must join us in a hearty cheer,
And when our banquet’s o’er

We’ll all join in and sing

We had a hot time

At the Windsor to-night.

Chorus: ,

Give, Oh give three rousing cheers for
Hill, .

He’s all right, so give it with a will.

And when he starts for home

Our congressman will say

He had a hot time

At the Winsdor to-night.

Congressman Hill was the last speak-
er of the evening. The congressman
wasin good voice and bubbling over
with enthusiasm over harbor improve-
ments and made a must enjoyable and
patriotic speech.

Before the party left the banquet
hall, three rousing cheers were given

for Congressman Hill.

AllTrace ofHer lost Between Bethel And -
Danbury. '

Oscar Schreiber, J r., a young Bethel
merchant is nearly distracted over the
disappearance of his wife, who has .
been missing ‘for three days. Mrs.
Schrieber is pretty, nineteen years old
and a bride of only a few months.
The morning of her disappearance she
told her husband she was going to Dan-
bury. ,

He learned the next day that she
had not been at the home of the Dan-
bury friend. He sought her in vain.
Although Bethel is only three miles
from Danbury, she apparently dropped
out of sight between the two places.
She was last seen upon an electric car
coming toward Danbury.
