AN ENJOYABLE PERFORMANCE.

Last Friday evening the young men,
bers of the Epworth League presented
a musical comedy entitled "The Min
ister's Wife's New Bonnet" in the
church. The League was disappointed
in not being able to secure the Lyric
theater for the purpose, but a stage
was improvised at the church and the
performance was put on under some
difficulties, but was none the less in
teresting and enjoyable for the audi
ence that assembled. Unfortunately.
this entertainment followed too close
on the heels of other entertainments
during the week and again a large
number of people were attracted that
evening to a dance at Tonasket, and
this combination Of unfavorable cir
cumstances had its influence in cur
failing the audience. Considering the
merit of the entertainment the church
should have been crowded beyond its
seating capacity. The play presented
was most laughable comedy, and ev-
cry one Of those taking part did re-
markably well. The young ladies who
took the part of the deaf and suffering
members of the sewing circle were q
scream and their rendition Of the roles
could not have been improved upon.
The young people must have under
gone careful and thorough training to
have carried out their various roles so
well, and are to be congratulated upon
the admirable manner in which the
entertainment was carried out.
