The J. G. w. club, an organiza-
ton composed + of ten Wilton girls,
gave a play entitled "Miss Fearless
and Co.," on Saturday evening, June
1, at the M. w. A. hall at Wilton.
The cast of characters was as fol-
lows:
Miss Margaret Henley, an heiress
-Alvena Rogers.
Katie O'Conners, her maid-Nel-
lie Brennan.
Miss Euphemia, her cousin, ner-
vous old maid-Alice Ballangrud.
Sarah Jane Lovejay of Lost Ma

Cameron a beauty, Signora Bangor !;
Miss Marion Reynolds, who is al
ways up to mischief, Alice Rognlien.
The "silent Sisters" supposed to
be "Jack" Eggleston and "Jim''
Reading-Miss Alias, Alice Guyer;
Miss Alibi, Leola Rogers
'Just Lizzie" ragged child who
plays ghost-Christene Rognlien.
Miss Henley and her guests deter
mine to punish their. young men"
by going away to camp by them
selves. They form company called
"Miss Fearless & Co.," and each
member must forfeit $40 ii, during
the month, she communicates direct
ly or Indirectly, with any person OF
the male gender. They go to Spook
Island, which is opposite Camp Com.

Many exciting events occur dur

among them being the advent OF the
ghost and her subsequent discovery,
the elopement Of the old maid and
the many visits Of the Silent Sis
ters." Evidently everyone discover
ed the identity of the sisters, except

say that all members had to pay the
forfeit and all ends happily.
Miss Eupremia, the old maid, was
"scream," while the witty remarks
of Katie, the Irish maid, and the
plain, outspoken manner or Sarah
Jane Lovejoy drew many nearly
laugh.

and courteous manner contrasted

little ghost, brought both tears and
laughter All the characters played

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE
I'VE are the representatives of the
German government and come to So
licit an armistice."
That. tos.--IEas formal For the
speaker and his colleagues it was in
deed a crushing f6rmalitN For weeks
and months Germany has tried des-
perately and dexterOusly to avoid just
this humiIiating form. But her at
tempts to arrange" an armistice
through President wilson had failed
However, having to "bite into the sour
apple" as an old German adage puts
it, the delegates did it with good
grace.
Erzberger then introduced one by
one his colleagues. One by one they
saluted the allied representatives
With Foch at the time were his right
~ hand man, Gen. Weygand; Vice Ad-
miraI Sir RossIyn Wemyss. First Lord
Of the British Admiralty. and the
American Vice Admiral William 5,
Sims. The latter attended only this
preliminary meeting.
Return German saIutes.
COurteously. sOldier-like. the allied
representatives returned the German
salutes.
That ended the introduction inter
view. Gen. Foch's aid-de-camp then
conducted the German emissaries to
a nearby chateau. There breakfast
was served It consisted of bread
and butter. coffee and chocolate.
b Upon this historic breakfast A.
wfttey, correspondent of rTntransi-
Eeant. offers the following sidelight.
quoting a French orderly who helped
serve it:
'They ate with such an appetite,
the next time they come to demand
an armistice they should send word
that fifty are coming so we will have
enough to eat for them"
After breakfast the Germans re-
turned to Foch's railroad-car head
quarters. Things then moved fast.
Almost Immediately after the group
had seated themselves around a large
table, Foch rose and with a high
voice very distinctly read the con-
ditions OF the armistice.
As to their reception by the Ger
mans, nothing positive has yet been
told
when Foch had finished, Err
berger took the floor. He requested
an immediate suspension Of hostil-
tues IN lNc lnlGTtSlS OF humanity.
Foch answered unhesitatingly that
such a thing was out Of the ques-
tion. lowing to the military situa-
ton His answer was identical to
that which Gen. D'Esperey gave the
Bulgarians.
Erzberger then said he wished to
submit the terms to his govern
ment He was granted permission
to send q courier
:. Foch's headquarters. where the
fate OF the world is being decided
is in the ChantiIIy Forest just south
Of senlis. The Germans are lodged
some thirty miles to the northeast,
six miles from Compiegne. in the lit
tie village Of Rethondes.
There is poetry Of justice in these
locations. The approaches to Com
piegne mark the farthest point of
the advanc of the Germans in their
last drive on Paris. Senlis, near
which town Foch is quartered. was
just about the farthest point to
which the Germans got in the early
phase OF the war before the first
battle Of the Marne.
