CHINTZ COTTAGE .
WELL RECEIVED
,St. Paul's Sunday School Room Was
,Crowded to See A.Y.P. Present Play
The Sunday School room of St,
Paul's Church was filled to capacity
.on Friday night when the A,Y,P.A.
presented the three -act pl-ay "Chintz
Cottage" which was not, only well
staged and 'played but very much ap-
preciated. Rev, E. L. Robert's, the rec-
'tor, gave a short synopsis of the play
.by way of introduction,
'The stage presented a fine appear-
ance, depicting the living room of a
, -cottage which was tastefully decorat-
...ed with flowers. The walls were pap-
ered with chintz and the hanging also,
-.were chintz.
The cost of characters were: Miss
a Minty, Mrs. 5. R. M. Spittal; Her
Aunt, Miss Tellington, Miss Ann. Ir-
.ewin; Mr, Kant Bert Mitche,11; His son
Peter, Joe Ellacott; His Daughter,
;Grace, Lillian Fuller; Housekeeper,
Mrs. Dean, Miss B. Smalls The Maid;
'Fanny, Doris Fells; Director, Mrs. J.
A. Wilson.
' The, story centred around a young
lady from London, Eng.,ewho became
bored with her soeial duties and de -
tided to seek peace and quietness in
the country. With her maid she ar-
• rived at a village celled Meadowbank
Where she occupied a cottage. Her
:aunt followed her to Meadowbank be-
lieving she had eloped with a Texan.
Amusing complications arose when
Peter, a young poet and neighbor,
while investigating- the occupants of
the cottage, was found unconscious
:on the lawn. Minty and Fanny take
him into the cottage anct while they
looked for medicine to bring him to,
he hides in a chest: Es'rentually Aunt
Aggie finds him. there and believes
him to be Bfinty's Texan husband.
There is a suspicion of inurder
throughout the play which is cleared
-up when it is discovered that Peter
was hit by a golf bell driven by his
father, Mr. Kent.

ered part of this vast country, where
there was such a vast population, who
knew nothitie- of Christianity. • But
Mr, Story's talk arid slides presented
a bright side as well as the dark. The
beatuiful city of Buenos Aires, with
its parks, was sh6sviee taken on the
occasion of the -visit of be Prince of
Wales. Large cold stbrage plants,
filled with carcasses, were shown; the
rubber iti'd.ustry, the shipping of
wheat, the manufacturing of sugar
from the large fields of sugar cane,
their system of irrigation, waterpower
and the growing of bananas. Compar-
isons were made in the mode of living
showing the terrible state, in which
the natives lived, who bad not heard,
or yielded to the teachings of the mis-
sionary. Legal marriages were un-
heard, of, until they accepted Christ-
ianity, Murder eves very common, as
there was no capital punishment, and
a short term of imprisonment was
meted out t6 the wrongdoer :for this
crime. In some cases, murderers had
now become 'preachers' of the gospel.
The churches, where there were any,
were very small, the dwelling places of
the natives were built of straw, and
the homes of the missionaries were
also very small, and in a good many
instances their places of abode was
under the trees. Mr. Story confined
his talk principally to Argentine and
Paraguay. At the conclesion he pre-
sented a naniber of cUrios, which
were very ietereeting, explaining what
each represented or had been used for.
