mon. This lady is real parsonage
and about her hinges some of the most
amusing complication ever introduced
into farce comedy. Her attendant
merry makers comprise some of the
cleverest comedians and condolences
on the stage. She is devout admir-
er of bright, up to date songs and
captivating dances and the play
abounds with them. She is also a
stickler for fashion, and the costum-
ing is cnic and rare.
The play was built for laughter
purposes only, SO don't be mislead,

Annual Concert at Center
Tomorrow Evening.
AT OLD FIRST CHURCH
Some Interesting Facts Relative
TO Old Home Week
Celebration.

The following paragraphs appear
ed in recent editorial in the Burling-
ton Free Press in regard to Old Home
Week:
Vermont is the one New England
state which has neglected the develop
ment of this movement within her bcr-
bers, whereas the existence of Vermont
associations in all parts of the coun-
try ought to have made it easier for
her than any of her neighbors to carry
this summer reunion project to sup
erlative success.
Over l6S, 500 people born in Vermont
are now living outside of their native
state, and experience with the least
possible effort, which could by
courtesy be called an Old Home
Week celebration, has demon
strated what could be accom-
plished by concerted and well.dir-
ected effort to act to their former
homes during the summer, this army
VI oOho dAlu hduSllptAS vi NcIAuOlts
Bennington has the attractive seen
cry and the historical association
which grows dearer as one grows old
er, and surely there ought to be such
planning and such warmth of genuine
welcome as would encourage those
who have gone out from our borders
to return occasionally, and what bet
ter time could there be than the week
including the Sixteenth?
An Old Home Week organization
which would keep track of former
residents of the town and which
would plan simple and home
like methods of celebrating the
week, could certainly do much to
keep alive the best traditions of the
town.
The annual union service at the Old
First church is being kept up until
such time as there may be larger
and more adequate observance of the
entire week. The fourth annual SER
vice of this kind is to be held on the
coming Sunday evening and the pub
lie is most cordially invited to help in
its success by their presence. The
program is as follows:
Organ Prelude, "Pastoral" Salome
