Sprunger road in Monroe township and the town of Berne were granted an extension of time to February ”1 in which to make their report. — ■ o Civic Section Pledges SSOO For Building (Continued from Page One) interesting and well received. The scene of the first play, "Six who pass while the I.entils Boil," was laid in , a kitchen where a hoy was left alone cooking lentils, the part of the hoy being played by Mrs. Arthur Ilolthouse. Tile story of how the qneen is to lie beheaded at midday is lold by the queen, Mrs. James Ilian, when she comes to the hoy’s house for refuge. Tlie Mime, Miss Hazel Workman; the blind man. Miss Leona ollsse; Ihe halad singer. Miss Lois Connell; the milk-maid, Mrs. John S. Peterson; and the iast, the headsman, all stop at the boy’s house on their way to the beheading and add to the interest of the play. Because of the king's four clocks not striking together in accordance with the hour, the queen is not beheaded and the boy leaves the stage triumphantly followed by the butter-fly, played by little Katherine SelleineyerJ beautifully dressed in a butter-fly costume, who was friend of the queen and the boy, and is happy that, the queen was not beheaded. Mrs. Charles Knapp gave the prologue and Mrs. Frank Downs played the role of “You.” “Everybody’s Husband”

The second play ‘‘Everybody's Husband,” a one act comedy was equally entertaining. Miss Virgene Smith, ably played the part of a modern girl in every respect. An interesting part of the play is related during her vision which she has night berofe her wedding morn. In this vision her mother, played by Mrs. Dan Niblick; her grand-mother, by Mrs. Elmer Kampe; and her great grand-mother, Miss Eva Acker, appear. Each one explains her views of life to the young girl, who Is very much disappointed because j she had not been given the same advice long ago so that she could have profited by it. Each ones view of life j as compared with each other's creates the humor of the play. However, the views of the great grand-mother, appeal to the young girl because she is not so critical and her ideas are more modern. The great grand-mother explains that all husbands are alike and j then Mrs. Hugh Hite, appears as "Everybody’s Husband.” The girl! awakens from her vision the following morning when aroused by her maid, Miss Fanny Hite, to get ready for her wedding. The plays were greatly enjoyed and each person in the cast acted her part splendidly and the large crowd | more than enjoyed the presentations. A number of invited guestß were present. ——o — s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s
