"Uncle Rube."

The amateur players from Neche were
greeted on Monday evening by full
house. The play was the very old one.
"Uncle Rube," but, which like Uncle
Toms Cabin seems perennial in its pleas
ings. Because in plays presented by To-
cal talent, the effort of all the actors is
but to please. hence comparisons are
odious The audience does not expect,
nor yet is reasonable to expect, that am
ateurs should be more than amateurs.
But it does not follow that local, talent,
while not remarkable in itself. does not
give satisfaction and entertainment to
their neighbors and friends.
From this point of view, our Neche
friends were complete success. r. j.

man both as part of the play
and as an actor. The villain. ''Deacon
Smailley," MAX Duprey) played diff

the hired man, was personified by r. H.
Fadden of the Chronotype. Needless to
say that the part fitted him so we'll that
he didn't have to act at all. "Bud
Green" ANDY Feick) seemed to be a
character thrown into the play for the
sole purpose of making fun, and "Bob''

himself SO heartily that it made most OF

Change Ii the Road Laws.

Some imsortant changes in our road
lave we're made BY the last legislature.
One law provides that the county DOM.
missloners may appoint county high
way superintendent who shall have gen-
eral supervision over all roads in the
county, and he shall consult with the
various townships boards in the appoint
mont Of deputies with the sane power
as our present road overseers
But as this law is not compulsory on
the commissioners, then id event that
they shall not appoint superintendent
at their April meeting, the township SUI
pervisors must appoint road overseers
for the different districts within their
townships SO that in the future it will
not be necessary to elect road overseers
at the general spring election, which has
been the law in the past. This is an i'm
portant change, and time alone will tell
if it will be advantageous or not to the
cause Of good roads. One thing is Ger.
tain however, it is 10 lins with legislation
adopted by other states that have pro.
gressive laws on the subject.
Some slight notifications on local
conditions will likely be necessary to
get the maximum benefit from these
laws, and we are informed that the Penn.
bina township board will meet on the
Oath inst to discuss this subject and to
make such changes in district formation
as will b st meet the new state If affairs.
They will be pleased to have as many of
of the taxpayers of the township present
rs possible.

evening was pleasantly spent in playing

The new hats have Mch large crowns that the high hair dressing fits up Inside very success fully, but if the hair Is too loosely ar ranged it will be sadly frowsy when the hat is lifted off. The coiffure pie tured shows very neat and modish arrangement. The hair is waved and parted in the center-a very fashion able style just now-and the waves are drawn softly down over the brow and ears. The back hair iG formed into loop or twist high on the head and around this is coiled thick, soft artificial braid. Large shell pins at either side finish the coiffure.

But this hairdressing is very carefully built. The hair is first made exceed ingly soft and fluffy by proper sham pooing and waving; fringe of curled short hairs fluffing about the forehead and ears. The hair Is divided into three parts, the parted locks over the forehead, a small quantity across the back of the head from ear to ear. and the remainder or main portion of the hair all over the center of the head This larger portion is drawn back over the ears and then upward and formed into a thick figure-eight on the top of the head. well toward the front; the ends of the parted front hair being tucked under the figure eight as the photograph shows. Last ly the locks of hair at the back are brushed smoothly upward and formed into another figure-eight oyer the top and crown of the head.

modern and chic. Such blouses are intended for wear over simple little frocks when one wishes to brink up a bit for 8 special occasion. They are invaluable to the woman who makes weekend visits out of town with a suit case instead of trunk.
 The second blouse Is a very elabor- ate model of the same class-that is, 1t Is an over-blouse which may be slipped over plain frock or blouse to dress 1t up. This second model is a French creation and is made, as the photograph shows, of deep Venise lace medallions in vandyke shape, set between medallions of tucked net. All around the edge of the blousel goes a cording of satin finished by narrow net frill. In front the blouse Is sur plice in shape, one side of the surplice crossing the other and extending around under the arm to the back where 1t fastens under a jeweled buckle. As shown, this blouse Is worn oyer a frock of black chiffon oyer white taffeta.
 Many of the dressy blouses arc eff fectively trimmed with lace and one such model is pictured in the long, sleeved voile waist trimmed with white macrime. This waist Is built of fine voile In dark green shade, over white satin and the buttons are of white composition. Under the tucked chiffon sleeves the undersleeyes of white chiffon emerge and are in turn finished with cuffs of folded green chiffon. The high stock collar of white net is finished with a folded

The Parisian taste Is veering from extremely high hair dressings, with quantities of hair piled on the top of the head, and very low hairdressings which define the contour of the cranium and cover up the nape of the neck.
 All this is probably due to the fact that coiffure styles are invariably set by some particular women-famous actresses or professional beauties, and while in each case the mode of hair dressing Is chosen to set off some spe- cial beauty or charm of the person 1t adorns. once let that person become the fashion and her coiffure is copied enthusiastically and faithfully--and with often rather disastrous results. Two beautiful French actresses are re- sponsible for the new high-low hair dressings which are dividing honors in feminine favor and since the high dressing is becoming to almost all women and the low one to but few, 1t is safe to assume that the high ar engagement will win the day. At pres ent the high coiffure is by all odds the favorite for evening wear for it not only lends height and distinction to it's wearer, but it shows off the natu- ral hair wondrously well-or the ex- pensive artificial hair with which the natural tresses are eked out
