A play "Lucias Lover" was present
ed by seven young women from North

evening under the auspices OF the
Baptist church. The cast of characa-
tiers was as follows. Lucia, Miss
Mary Briggs; Polly, Miss Agnes Nc
Intosh; Marcia, Miss Ina Brown; Mil
bred. Miss Ruth Homer; Katherine,
Miss Edna Smith: Edith, Miss Mabel
Williams; Chauncey Miss Nc Gre
corey School Ma'a'm, Miss Bertha
| Lewis; A Cat by himself The play
took place in young ladies' boarding
school, and the plot hinged on Lucia's
love of sentiment which one Of the
girls decided to break by bringing
sentiment close to the ridiculous.
Miss Williams as Edith took the part
of supposed widow In most ap-
proved manner while Miss Mcintosh
az Polly, the rescuer OF Chauncey the
boy abused cat, made perhaps the hit
Of the evening Chauncey was GER
tainly a most wonderful animal and
Polly succeeded splendidly in showing
up his many good qualities Miss
Smith as Katherine telling fortunes
at the midnight spread was very good.
All the members OF the cast did re-
markably well for an amateur per-
Torrance and the audience were well
pleased. Following the play the lad
les served ice cream and cake and
the building fund of the church is
about $40 richer from the event
