of sociabios. last evening. Like its
predecessors. it was a success in ev-
ery way. After the last sociable it
was decided that Red Men's Hall, in
the Gazette building. was too small
and as a result last night's soiree Was
given in Isockvlood’s Hail. That the
change to a larger hall was fully justi-
fied was amply proved by the well hil-
ed floor throughout the evening.
The program of dance included twen-
ty numbers and consist ed dot the waltz
ianciers and the t‘ atop. Excellent
music was tarnished y Sveols orches-

it is the intention of the Catholic
Club to thrash out the merits of the
question of the consolidation or divi»
sion of the town of Norwalk, and to
this end it was decided at the club.
last evening, to hold a debate on the
subject Thursday evening. December
18th. This debate promises to be very
interesting.
At the club last evening, Rev. James
H. O’Donnell gave an. excellent talk.
addressed to Catholic young men. 0w~
‘ing to the many other attractions
about town the attendance was not
quite so large as was hoped. but those
who were fortunate enough to be pres-
ent listened to a very ‘interesting, as
well as helpful, talk on the subject
which the rector had chosen. _.
Father O'Donnell spoke very favor-
ably of establishing more clubs, socie-
ties. etc. to promote the social life of
the young men of the parish. He said
that it surprised him that there were
not more societies for young men
He believed that such societies would
do much good; that the Catholic young
men would exercise a much more pow-3
erful influence if bound together as
well socially as they are religiously.
He urged young men to lie more good
than was absolutely required of them.
He spoke very eloquently on the period
of life known as youth -
Father O'Donnell was in favor of the
tic-operation o£ Catholic young men in
all things bumpoiitics He did not be-
lieve that table wanid be ever called
upon to join hands in such a manner
in political this free United. States.

stitution. aHe asserted that the founda»
gland republic were laid

with the Puritans. whom he thought
were excels tyrannical in are a»

O'Donnell ai charged that historians
hays grossiyiéiillgned Catholic history,
but that the filth is gradually coming
to light. "
‘ At the cdiidiusion of Father O‘Don~
nell’s address a'nd after the applause
had somewhat subsided. Dr. William J.
“l‘racey. who had introduced Father
O‘Donnell as the speaker of the eyen-
lng. said it was a great privilege for
the Chtholic Club and for St. Mary's
parish to have such an eloquent pas~
tor. President Tracey stated that Fa-
ther 0'ponneii. having spoken of so-
ciaislm in his talk would doubtlessiy
sires to give the club a series of talks
on this all-absorbing topic of the day.
To this Father O‘Donnell generously
assented
The president suggested that it
would be ideal to have a talk by“
thcr O'Donnell and a debate each
month. so that there would be c or
the other once in every t‘so weeks

1 did not request you to' it slot a coal-

inaugurated the meeting *which ap-
pointed out committed. A city meet-

conference would tend to ring the
leading citizens of both ends of the
town together. and. perhaps. result in
some agreement which could be pre-
sented to your people and our people

purpose. i am sure you will agree with
