Miss Singer was prominent in coach
ing the members for the event and
also had entire charge of training the
children for the fairy dance in the
mountain scene, which was a marked
success last night. Miss Singer also
made the wings for the fairies, super
vising the costumes in many ways.
Last night she was generously ap-
plauded for her splendid presentation
of the saint who gave UP throne to
enter the religious life and through
her work secured the Christianizing of
pagan Germany.
Costumes and Scenery Fine
The costumes and scenery were ex-
ceptional features for amateur per-
formances. Rev. Raphael Fuhr, o. F.
M, pastor of the church, spared no ex-
pense in making the event a success.
The play opened with scene near
the royal castle of King Richard T. fol-
lowed by one at Winborn abbey, a mo-
nastic school, and a pagan scene in
the Hartz mountains, with the Goddess
Frieda in a cave. A convent school
was also given in the play.
The costumes of the queens, Editha,
Wlaburgas mother, and young Wal
burga herself, after she was made
queen, following the death of her
IdLner ana ldL6T Oh Il6T SlSleTs Au6-
linda, to whom she gave the crown on
entering the convent, were very beau
tiful.
The musical program rendered be-
tween the acts was a pleasurable part
of the evening. A professional or
chestra rendered the program of classic
music arranged by Father Raphael.
Among the prominent young women
in the cast were Misses Bertha Orth,
Mathilda Singer Florence Dick, Lola
Buhr, Marie Lindenken, Clara Trabert,
Edith Kraft, Katherine Creed, Eva
Hessel. Agnes Scholl, Sophie Roos,
Margaret Schmitt, Anna Leasing,
Katherine Mcdonald. Mary Knauff,
Marie Hoemer, Ruby HERMAN, Dor
othy Caspary, Mary Fisher, Mary
Eimers, Mary Suck, Adela Orth and
Elizabeth Mauch.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof
fee even after they know 1t is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
FINALLY, one day. she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish | asked for
a taste.
THAT started me on Postum and
now drink it more freely than l did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked If it
was coffee. l told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
THE next day she said she did not
see how could drink Postum. found
she had made 1t like ordinary coffee.
So l told her how to make 1t right
and gave her a cupful l made. after
boiling 1t fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good. and now coffee is banished
