The play was -gotten up by the members of the Women's In- stitete and the ladies, some young and some not so young, all did their parts well. The play itself centred around a Community House, which was man- aged by a numberof energetic and public-spriited women for the good of the community. A. lady, Mis.' Iiandbridge, (Doris Miller), who had, come comparatively reeently, had worked herself into the position of business manager of the House and another =member, Mrs Goudy, (Miss IL Livermore) had begun to he very suspicious that the money coming in whs not handled honestly and did not hesitate to call for an accounting. ° She made herself so obnoxious at last that she was asked to .resign from the club and when she wouldn't. do it, was expelled. She stuck to her guns, however, and at last was justi- fied. Mrs. O.1, paisley made a very realistic "Old Lady" , as iGrandma Larkin; Misses Lillian Manning and Elnora Mcinneswere a couple of flappers, who were glad to hear that their mothers were not such milk end water girls its their own youth; Miss Virginia Bozell took the part of Cleo, the maid, in her usual finish- ed style; Misses Janet Taylor and Eva Gilbert were two frivolous young ladies; Miss Carol Evans was a my- sterious young lady,who later turn- ed out to be a ladydetective; Mrs. C. V. 'Cooke, Mrs. ,O'Brien, Mrs, M. Jobnston, - Mr's. H. Ford, Mit. ?him Rozelt' and IVliss Agnes Cameron were all members of the Community House Club and more or less active and im- portant in It. • -Miss Clara Harrison was a member of the police force, who came in at the end to aceom- plish the arrest of the scheming lady who was planning to rob the House of its funds. The lady detective recognized the business manager, as a crook, and pretended to "her that She was her- self a member of a gang, and being: seen to talk to her in a confidential manner by Mrs Goudy was supposed by that: lady to be another crook. But it all turns out right when in the end the shady lady is trying to rob the safe and is caught in the act by the detective lady and 'her assistant, Cleo, who had been dismissed from the Community House and had been taken on 'by her And a number of valuables test from Community House are found in the apartment of the business manager. Mrs. Goudy was inatthe death, too, although she had been held up at the point of a gun and shut into a cupboard. But her astuteness was commended and the ladies apologized for their blindness in not paying more atten- tion to her suspicions. Miss' Liver- more" having a heavy part with a great many lines), interpreted the. role in a masterly manner, and each of the ladies did her part well. Mr. W1. S. R. Holmes thanked the audience for their attendance and in- troduced the players before the cur- tain went up and • between acts a dou- ble 'quaiitette from the Collegiate contributed some songs, which were, appreciated, and Mr. Tom, Cook gave a cornet selection, which was heart- ilyencored. Mrs. Morgan Agnew played his accompaniment, and Mrs. Perdue played the National An- them at the conclusion. A few weeks ago we had a play, put on by a Winghatncaste, entirely by men. Here was a play put on en- tirely by women, and it cannot but, be admitted that in each case the. result Was satisfactory. THE MARKETS Wheat, 95c.
