will continue this policy and he hopes
you will continue your patronage
He claims that "a Mint Spy" is one
of the funniest farces he has ever
played in. He would like to have
your opinion. The play is interspersed
with rag-time ditties, lively dances
and Broadway snip-snap. 1t is a sort
of a 'half-baked Jingle cake"
Bob plays the part of Morris Chair,
a sausage suffer, who comes if con-
tact with Winthrop Beach. a German
Spy, the police are led to believe that
Morris is the Spy, situations and COM
plications follow. and it would spoil
the story-and be unfair to the au-
thor to try and tell the plot of this
amusing play.
Inc play IS the tnlnS out tnen we
must remember the girls. Bob makes
the boast that he has the prettiest
girls on the American stage. After
YOU see them you will realize that it
is not a, boast. but reality. In "A
Mint Spy" the girls are at their best
All new elaborate costumes. new
dances and ensembles. "A Mint Spy"
is colorful to the eye, jingling to the
ear. and snappy and speedy at all

The idea of the Christmas tree at
the Augusta General hospital, as stated
in Yesterdays issue of the Journal
originated in the kind heart OF the
monthly visitor from the Hospital Aid,
Mrs. H. L. Sherburne, but she wishes
to state that she was assisted in all
the details by the chairman of the Wis
ting committee, Mrs. c. +. Penney
SumrSer street, and also at the tree
by Mrs. Charles kinsman, who helped
distribute the gifts. Others who made
the tree possible by gifts of money or
TOYS were Mrs. Percy Hill, Mrs. Robin
son, Mrs. Hichborn, Miss Mason, Miss
Hamlin, Miss Milliken, Mrs. North
Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Guy Gannett, Mrs
Bodwell, Mrs. Boyd. Mrs. Lewis Bur-
leigh Mrs. Viles, Miss Newman and
the Universalist Sunday school. the
last of whom provided Christmas
CANDY box for each ward patient.
Those of the private room patients
who were able to use wheel chairs
were taken to the wards and enjoyed
the fruits of the tree. The matron and
nurses were each presented with a
sprig of holly, thus taking a bit OF
Christmas cheer to the rooms or pa
tients unable to be present in The
wards. The effect of the carol, silent
Night, Holy Night" as sung by the
choir of st. Marks church in each
ward and in the corridors on every
floor. was exceedingly beautiful.
