All of the pent-up longings of the young people for social diversion which religion has prompted them to deny themselves during the penitential ' peason have been satisfied during this week with the numerous small enter- tainments given in the various parishes and church halls. Several small dances have been held and a few card parties. On Friday " evening of this week the Knights of Columbus. Denver chapter ."..lit, are to hold a smoker in their hall in the Fraternal Union building, to which, of course, none but the mem are invited. The affair will be. however, a great success, as are all of the entertainments enter-tainments rlanned by the Knights of Columbus. The following names appear ap-pear on the arrangements committee, j and are in themselves a g-uarantee of; the social success of the evening: Dan B. Carey. Joseph Newman, Dr. J- -j. O'Neill. Patrick R. Riordan, .Frank Kavanaugh. J. P. Rafferty. Charks J. Dunn. Charles Nast. William F. Ailan and John McGreeor. .a A n ut b or social event of no little 5m-! 5m-! jM-irtanec was the ball of the Knights of St. John, which was held on Easter Monday night at Progress hall. The entertainment i? held annually at this time and is accounted one of the foremost fore-most events of the year. In fact, it is the only large affair fijven by the nights of St. John, and for this reason is well attended. One hundred couple participated in the grand march, and the hall presented an attractive appearance ap-pearance with Its hundred? of tiny in-candepcent in-candepcent lights strung across the ceiling. ceil-ing. The grand march was led by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Horan and other officers ot wives followed. As all of the social affairs af-fairs of the organization are of an exclusive ex-clusive nature, they are. accounted among the leading entertainments of the year. Mis?

The j work of building the extra wing will not require much time, as the plans are in very concise form, and as long as weather condition? remain in their present settled state, there will not be any obstacle in the way of the building. Last week five lots belonging to the Cathedral association on Logan avenue, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth avenues, were sold for a consideration of $10,000, which amount hag been applied ap-plied to the building fund for the new ca thedral.
