CATHOLIC PLAY POSTPONED.

The play, "a Regiment for Two"
which was to have been given by the
young people of the Catholic church
next week has been postponed for a
week SO those taking part may have
plenty of time for perfecting their
roles. The characters in this play
will be practically the same as in
"Blundering Billy the three act
play which was given here some time
ago. The coming play is a three act
farce comedy and each character ap-
pears to be especially fitted for the
part. Those taking part are encour-
aged by the outcome of s'Blundering

author as "a Regiment For Two.

the star is impossible. Don Shannon,
in the role of Rev. John Hume, drew
several bursts of applause as his
mirth producing actions were impos-
sible to resist. He looked and acted
the part of the basn1ul Episcopal rec

the fun of the comedy. S
Esther Fleischman and Leon Bat
ties, as Richard and Molly Ford,

Edith Ryan and Claude McIver, as
Dorothy and Max, were engaged at
the start, broke the engagement, and
became re-engaged during the three
acts: 1t was with Dorothy that the
rector fell in love and his notes with
her flowers added to the complica-
tons.
Lester Achenbach, as the brother
Of Molly and a woman hater, finally
succumbed to the beauty of Flora
Todd, as June Haverhill, and won
her consent to wear his ring. June
Haverhill, WELLESLEY student, en-
gagged her services to the Fords as a
maid in order to get material for a
paper on the working girl problem.

in the mean time, his problem was

# The play ended with every one
happy but the rector who had to go
back through the garden to his home
without any one to assist him in the
mothers meetings.
But two adverse criticisms could
possibly. be offered on thetw produc-
tions. The makeup was too heavy
for the lights and the players had diff:
ficulty, which appears common in
amateurs, Of touching each other. The
love scenes were hardly as realistic as
they would have been in real life. The
costumes were first class, the scenery
was not the usual make shift Of home
talent plays, and the lines were we'll
spoken. The players had the un-
usual talent of making their parents
and friends forget them and think
only of the characters interpreted.

AN OLD RECIPE
ITO DAREEA HAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur
makes streaked, faded or gray
hair turn dark and glossy

Almost evryone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly com
pounded. brings back the natural
color and lustre to the hair when
faded, streaked or gray; also ends
dandruif, itching scalp and stops
falling hair. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was I'd
make 1t at home, which is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage aud
Sulphur Hair Remedy" You VII
get large bottle for about SO cents,
Everybody uses this old, famous
recipe, because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair,
as II does it so naturally and even
ly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand
at a time; by morning the grad
hair disappears. and after another
application or two. your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you LOOK years younger.
