This little play, which centered a- round the search for a` blue hand- bag, the 'original having hidden in its lining some costly smuggled jew- els, had 'a number of comical situa- .tions. Anton McDonald, (Jack Sturdy), a young man about• town, comes down to a little country hotel in the hope of meeting a young lady carrying a blue handbag in order .to win a beet. He, or rather, his chauf- feur, Geo. Reynolds, (Leslie Pear- son), tells the little maid at the hotel, (Virginia Rosen), whom he nicicnanies "Chatty," that his boss wishes to meet this young lady in order to offer her an engagement as an actress. When Enid Lenton. (Dorothy Corless), and Allan Ross. (Bill Barnes), who are eloping and want some ane to marry them, come in, the lady carrying a blue hand- bag, the maid jumps to the conclus- ion that she is the actress. Hut it seems a. day for blue 'handbags, for Lettie Lane, (Mrs. A. McGugan), an actress looking for •a place to rest; comes along with one and pays the maid five dollars net to tell who she is mid registers under another tame. Obadiah Macklyn, (Percy Liver- more), runs the hotel, 'but Cindy, his wife (Viola Fraser), runs him pretty much and she is keen to have a public wedding in the hotel as a sort of an advertisement. Jinn Kee- fer, (Ernest Walton), and his wife- Melly, (Isabel Chowen), a pair of smugglers, come along looking for the lady with the blue bag, Molly herself, carrying one, and Jim gives the maid ten dollars to tell him that an actress is actually in the house and that she has a blue handbag. They are determined to get this bag at all costs, as Molly's bag has been changed by the customs and the one with the jewels lost, Finally Customs Officer Harring- ton, (Stewart Taylcr), appears on the scene and he is even more de- termined than anybody else to find the blue hag. So he rounds the whole company up and rips up all the blue bags, including one the maid had manufactured for herself loolcingefar the jewels. The last bag to be examined is the cue which Misr Lane, the actress,, has had which proves to be the one contain- ing the jewels and which the Kee- fers had been looking for, and the crime of smuggling was fixed upon then by some of the contents of the .bag. Owing to the good offices of the customs man, who is acquainted with the eloping youth's father, and Ob- adiah Macklyn, who thus earns the displeasure of his wife, Cindy, the young couple are able to getmar- vied as they sit at dinner, Gecrge Reynolds and "Chatty" making up a frursone and getting married too, each couple witnessing the other's marriage. There are many amusing incidents Obadiah gets into trouble with Cin- dy constantly without meriting it and "Chatty" balls things up a bit by jumping to conclusions. But she causes many laughs and proves suite able to hold her own. 'Trach member of the cast, indeed, takes his or her part very pleasingly and realistically and the audience seem- ed to thoroughly enjoy the evening's entertainment. The proceeds of the bazaar and play amounted to well on to $300, $280 being in hand and some more to come in, FOR QUIET MARRIAGES Here is good news for those young men who have joined in wild wedding ccebrations for most of their friends but have not taken the leap themseves as yet. Warning has been given that honeymoon couples no longer will be permitted to clatter inanity along the highway with dish- pans, old shoes and wash boilers tied to the rear of their cars. Highway Patrol Officer A. E. Helmick, issued that warning in Pleterboro, threatening' offenders with a charger of reckless driving. Ire stated that ho was nearlyupset from his motorcycle one night re- cently when he strue)c a grtinite pail on the highway which had fallen off just such a honeymoon' party. The Post .reeentlle expressed 'the opinion that fool treks usually prac- tised at weddings should be abolish/ ed --abut the suggestion was made primarily in the interests of the bridal couple, not o;f trafifc officers who might ruin their bikes and dies positions tumbling oven the wreck- age. It should be sufficient to dose the pair with confetti and drive them uI tho main street, with a great honk, ing df horns, SO that all their friends and acquaintances can wave at them from the sidewalk But it is exceeding'the bounds o' common sense and good manners when the pair are held up to nidi. cule or made to suffer personal' in- jury, or when their belongings are damaged.— Lindsay: Post. ar,m,.;,..., RAN INTO TREE Coming up from Seaforth late Saturday night, or perhaps it was early Sunday morning,' a company of young inen ran into a tree which was blown across the road and put their ear out of commission. 'But, anyway, they 'could not get by ' the tree. Glen Cartwright was among the company and he was slightly cut by the glass of the windshield They came on to Clinton and Mr, Cartwright got up and took the boyr home. They haled from Londesboro way. LEFT LARGE ESTATE' An estate' valued at $155,536 was left by Elsie Munro McLennan, wife of John C. McLennan, noted physi- cist and late professor. on the staff of the University of : Toronto. Mrs. McLennan died in England March 20th last. Practically the entire estate with the exception of $500 legacies to nephews and nieces, is left to her husband. Mr. McLennan spent part of his school- days in Clin- ton, his father being a resident oil this town, and is known to many of the older residents.

PLANTING BULBS FOR WINTER BLOOM Now is the time foe planting bulbs for winter and spring bloom. When winter arrives it will be too late; the chance to have pots of beautiful flow- ering bulbs during the winter months and beds of brilliant tulips, dafofdils and other lovely flowers in the spring will have been lost. Bulbs of fragrant hyacinths, for instance, if they are planted early in. October should be ready to bloom, by New Year's Day. For house bulbs, the hyacinth and daffodil are perhaps easiest to handle, but tulips and cro- cuses may be grown with success if a little more attention is given to the matter of temperature. The soil for bulb culture need not be rich, but should contain a consid- erable proportion of vegetable mat- ter and sufficient sand. to allow easy • drainage. Ordinary garden soil may be used if mixed with a proportion of leaf -mould and coarse sand. Hya- cinths give good results with one bulb to a five -inch pot, but more pleasing effects may he secured by using larger pots that will accom- modate from three to five bulbs. ,Font bulbs 01 any kind, six-inch pans a- bout five inches deep are more sat- s isfaetory and convenient to handle t eeRobinson GAS, OIL and 'BATTERIES Phone 173—CLINTON. than the deeper pots, ancl, with re, gars; to planting, the following is the practice found by experience of the various Horticultural Societies to be most useful:—Mix and sift the soil, place a piece of broken pot or a layer of gravel in the bottom of the pot to provide drainage, fill the pot two-thirds full of loose earth, press the bulb into position, base down, cover the bulb to a depth ex- posing the tip, and press the soil around firmly. A. half-inch space at the top of the pot should be al+ lowed for watering, Do not crowd the bulbs in pots, nor set then too far apart. For crocuses a shallow- er pan is perhaps the beat recep- tacle, placing the bulbs no wider than an inch apart in the soil. Soak the soil thoroughly before setting away in a dark cool place; For tulips, narcissi, hyacinths and crocusses the pots should be stored from ten to twelve weeks, say, in the basement where the temperature may be kept down to about 45 de - groes or lower after the cold weather sets in. Paper white narcissi do not require to be placed in a cold dark place as the other bulbs do. Leave them in tho cool for eight or ten days, when they may be brought to a window in the living room to devel- op their tops and bloom, which they will do within a few weeks. With regard to the other bulbs, the pot or pan is ready to bring out. for forcing when'the white roots ap- pear through the hole in the bottom, and when the upper growth has- ad- vanced 8n inch or so aboye the soil. ` The bulbs should bo brought out first in a• moderate light and cool tem- perature for a week then gradually introduced to warner conditions, an? to stronger light fox the £0111 devel- optnent of the bloom, When the flow- ers appear, the plants should be removed from the direct raysof the un, and it is well to remove then o a cool room at night.
