First of these, of course, is the influence of the church and the influence of wel- fare organizations of different sorts. On the social side there are also the various clubs and organizations which promote a greater and more democra- | tic neighborliness which is always to | be encouraged. The influence of Yale University in this community is strong, even though | there has been no organization to fos- | ter it. Many of the strong names con- nected with this city were once con- | nected with Yale when the men bear- | ing those names were students there. @ertainly few question the splendid spirit of that great univer- sity, and few would question th visability of perpetuating it anywhere. And that is the attempt that is to be made in New Britain. Notices have been sent out to ail Yale men in this city asking that H\oy} meet together at the New Britain | club Thursday evening of this week with & view to discussing plans for | continuing ‘this Yale spirit, which is the true, democratic, American spirit, in this city. The affair is referred to | not because it is a Yale plan necessar- | ily, but because it is another evidence of the desire of New Britain men to | keep alive one of the fine influences | which should be retained as an incen- tive to continued energetic effort and inspiration to new and better ones, would "THE DICE OF GOD A Philadelphia gentleman of means and family, so it is reported, so far forgot his marital duties as to torm | model. elaborately furnished apartment..
