0NE Of the features that brought most
" applause last night at Doctor Opti-
Inlst' Tue pay Wlllch was gwen by the
Juniors OF ST. Francis House for Con-
valescents, was the part taken in the at
fair by number Of the small brothers ana
sisters Of the Juniors, who, led by an older
girl, played and danced about the stage to
their hearts content i'm some little simple
games during the first act. Altogether it
was great success. and to see the size of
the audience and the number of dancers
on the floor after the play was over one
forgot for a time the war and its horrors,
and | guess it's just as well when one
can. NANCY WYNNE.
