The Deacon, the comedy pre-
sented to large house here Fri
day evening, the 18th was great
success. All the players did their
part so we'll that it would be diff.
ficnlt to say which one did best.
The manner of presentation show
ed most careful preparation and
In some .instances real, genuine
dramatic talent. A better plax
by amateurs we have never seer.
The play was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present and all the house
spoke in most favorable terms of
the work done.
The proceeds about 1925 will
go to the library of the Lancas-
ter Graded School. This will be
a nice little sum devoted to a
most worthy cause.
So successful was the play that
the players will play in Kersha W

y Winter Modes For Children Il

Paris, Dec. 1.-Out Of odds and ends
the Paris modistes make the children's
dresses. And that is why the little ones
wear the cOlors and the fabrics of the
grown-ups. Their styles, too, partake
of the same nature. The same styles
are seen reproduced in tiny fashions that
are very catching.
It vas only recently that the children
OF Paris had fashions o. their own. For
merry the little ones We're dressed in a
long loose cloak and were sent out to
walk daily in the sun, growing up in oh
security not to emerge until their mar
riage. That was the old ia hioned
French way. But now it is different in
these fin de steele days. The Countess
de Castellane gowns her children in very
charming little modes and the rest Of
fashionable Paris does likewise.
