The WEATHER. Last Friday and Saturday
were typical March days-a warm sun that
melted the snow rapidly and a penetrating
wind that was almost gale. Sunday was
bright day with moderate breeze and the
mercury reached 60 or more. Rivers ran in
the cutters and streets and there were pools
OF water everywhere. Monday started in as
Sunday had done with bright sunshine and
rising temperature, followinga freeze at night,
surely winters reign is over and Mayfowers,
dandelion greens and mud underfoot will soon
be IN order. Crows and chickadees are heard
and the little English sparrows are buster than
ever. Monday evenings weather reports pre-.
dlcted rain or snow Tuesday, but the day open
ed as did Morday with bright sunshine and a
rising temperature. The sleighing, at least
about town. is gone and wheels have taken the
place of runners. Snow or rain was also pre.-
dicted for Wednesday, but at this writing
(noon) the sun is shining and there is no indi-
cation Of a storm.

 Newtown, June 1O-The Sandy Hook Library has had a recent addi- ton of 50 volumes of popular titles, as we'll as the works of Jane Austen and William Makepeace Thackeray made to it's collection of books.
 Miss Mary G. Botsford of Walkers Farms district was married Wednes- day afternoon to Edward W. Twist of Monroe, by Rev. MT. Habersham of St. Peters church in Monroe Gen. ter. After a wedding trip the couple will reside with the brides mother, Mrs. Della Botsford.

 At the Mems club meeting this week committees were appointed to agitate the projects of enlarging the town hall with a view to making it a joint municipal building for town and borough officials; also to take up the matter of a new bridge on Sugar street, traightening the line on a new layout at the Main street corner of the bridge, to hold consultation with the State Highway Commissioner and selectmen, with these improve ments in view. The first improve ment at town hall, it is believed, would be readily voted by the citi- zens, as the sale of the Brick build ing would bring the high dollar for building lots this part of Main street are few, and this is a, bargain, and the money for sale would pay for improvements on hall and leave a nice surplus for the town treasury. The other project would be all outlay and no return. and it is doubtful of passage in the present low state of the town funds.

'fThe House of Lies relates a. most absorbing tale of family affairs, truthful, plausible. and yet full of real humanity throughout duced. this stirring play has created a veritable sensation, and has been the subject of wide discussion. It also possesses strong moral as well as an object lesson in every day life which furnishes an abundance of food for thought. The usual care and attention which marked all pre- vious Cecil Spooner productions will be given "The House of Les.'' In the part of Rose Norton the GLughter of q family of shatterip~ finances, Miss SFooner will have a wonderful part for her best brand of performance. Peu Trenton will be strongly cast as well the optimistic young million aire, John Livingstone Kent around whom the story of the play revolves. ''The House of Lies'' is a true ref1ec- ton of everybody's life. It is a com edy 2 drama of facts-with nothing overdrawn-just a correct reflex of the lives we live them. There is conIedy in this play and a deal of seriousness.
