ADJUSTMENTS
PLEASE GET MARRIED"
PLEASES AND REFRESHES

Altogether, pleasing and little bit
shocking was PLEASE Get Married"
which the Joseph w. Payton Stock Co.
presented Friday evening at the Opera
house. It. was a. case OF much ado
about nothing because it came out al
right and they lived happy ever after.
Miss Hanson, the light haired and
very charming little leading lady took
the part of the bride. Philip Quin had
a very good part in the role of the
groom, A make-believe minister mar
ried them and that was where the
trouble started The groom's father
was very much opposed to the match.
not because he didn't like the bride-to-
be, Muriel, but he didn't like the idea
of his son getting married.
The brides parents were very willing
that their daughter should marry Fer
dinand Oliver Walton. The make-be-
lieve minister came i'll through the
window with real burglar and they
were caught in the act The would be
married folks thought that the minister
could marry them and so he was
pressed into service. Then after the
ceremony and after the bridal couple
had departed it was discovered that the
minister was a burglar.
The second act which was in the 6rid-
al suite Eyes, pronounced SWEET was a
scream. The proceedings in general
were the cause of much excitement and
some very thrilling situations We're
worked up. Then after the maid had
brought in ice water, the clerk had
come in with several kilograms and had
hard time making himself understood
and the newly-weds had run away and
then returned-to cap the climax the
hotel caught on fire. The newly-weds
appeared on the scene of action again
in the home of the brides parents.
And what was the most fitting thing
about the whole comedy of errors was,
that the make-believe minister who was
caught and called a burglar turned out
to be a real minister who suffered
lapses of memories and went jazzing
around stealing things out folks
houses.
The play breezed along through three
acts with a snap and a refreshing
gayety that kept the audience in a gale
of laughter. On Saturday afternoon,
the company will present Peg o. My
Heart and on Saturday evening they
will present What Happened at 9.45."

Relaxation.

All outdoor sports are beneficial.
particularly to the tired business girl,
but If she is unable to indulge in ex-
ercise during the day she should
not neglect to relax and rest for a
few moments in the open air before
retiring. It is not the sleep that one
gets at night that is sufficient for good
health and beauty-for one is impos-
sible without the other-but it is the
little moments Of rest and deep
breathing In the fresh air that any
one can find time to enjoy that pro-
duces that animated expression.
