 The amateur dramatics given Sat urday evening in Leavenworth hall under the auspices of the First Con- gregational Church Mission circle at- tracted very large audience and was a big success. The first part was light comedy in three acts entitled "The Lippincott Church Square Coup" It was we'll enacted and those participating surprised their friends by the clever manner in which they portrayed the different characters. Poor Pillicoddy," an English comedy in one act, was part two of the pro- gramme and was perhaps a trif1e more enjoyable than the first skit. Roland F. Andrews was cast as MT Pillicoddy and right well did he es- say the role of the peculiar old gen. tleman. His performance was much superior to that of the average anna teur. One of the distinct hits of the evening was scored by Miss Edith Mason, who as Sarah Blunt, caught the audience from the start. Charles E. Spencer, Jr, is also deserving of special mention Both plays were staged by Miss Helene Cecil Futile. to whom is due much of the credit of the successful entertainment.

Refreshments will be served at small tables plac' ed about the hall and will add to the social side of the occasion. The members are very desirous of mak ing this huge financial success as the proceeds of the sale will be used to erect bronze tablet in the en- trance hall of St Mary's hospital as memorial to its founder, Monsig- nor W. J. Slocum. Any contribu- tions or donations of supplies for the food sale or articles for the domestic and fancy work booth from frien6 members and well wishers will be q
