Aunt Betty Of Butte

Work IS well under way on the
PIT A play, Aunt Betty of Butte,
which is to be put on Friday. March
s. at the Wrangell Theatre. This
play, a sentimental comedy of man
ners, has cast of seven characters:
Mr.. and Mrs. Grayson. who live in
the suburbs of New York, Suzzane,
their young flapper daughter, Aunt
Betty Cornish. the relative from
Butte. Montana, who pays them a
visit, Richard. novelist and professor
at Princeton. Sir Thomas Lord, an
English scholar and gentleman, and
the maid. But to really appreciate
the farce. it is necessary to learn
who the ambitious actors are. How
ever. at this early date. the actors
refuse to divulge their identity.
RehearsaIs take place almost every
night and great progress has been
gained since first work began on
this comedy. The east is ambitious
and has determined to put Aunt
Betty of Butte" on the boards in rec
ord time. Concentration and fire.
quent rehearsals will make it posi-
bic to perfect the performance suffi-
GENTLY to stage it on March g.
Not only does the committee
promise an unusually fine three act
comedy but there will be other fea-
lures on the program. For the first
time this year. the High School or
chestra will perform in public and
this promises to be good. There are
whispers of a fashion show revealing
to the feminine heart all the latest
and smartest creations straight
from Paris. One of the foremost
tenors in Southeastern Alaska has
agreed to sing between acts.
The crew of assistants are old in
the game of staging entertainments
for the amusement of a pleasure low
ing public. The stage manager is
well known from Ketchikan to Pc
tersburg for his ability in singing
stage properties. In fact, once a
davenport slipped and they say that
one man broke his leg and three wo-
emn tainted when the audience rush
ed for the door.
Save the date. Friday evening,
March 9. for Aunt Betty of Butte"

Middle Life Troubles De-
scribed by a Texas Lady
Who Tells How She 'Im-
proved So Much"
After Taking
Cardui.

Mrs. Mat Howard, who lives near
Terrell, Texas, has the following
to say about her use of Cardui in
middle life:
about twenty years ago, my
health was very bad. I was passing
through critical time in my life,
and I suffered a great deal.
"I was not at all strong, and my
nerves got all upset.
"I had hot flashes, and sometimes
would get suddenly so faint I could
not stand up. My head would whirl,
and I could not see thing. 1
would have to lie down for hours
at time. I felt mighty bad.
zone day was reading about a
lady who had suffered like was,
and how she had been helped. So
1 made up my mind to give Cardui
a trial
''I improved so much, after had
taken Cardui for while. I con-
tinued the medicine for some
months, until I had passed the
critical period.
"I have recommended Cardui to a
great many people since I first took
it. I never hesitate to tell any
woman about it,
This well known medicine is a
mild, harmless extract Of valuable
medicinal herbs, and contains moth
ing harmful or injurious. For sale
by all Druggists.

MARYE and 'MOM'

THEIR LETTERS
BY RUTH DEWEY GROVES

Marye, my dear:
No doubt you intended your eX-
PLANTATION of Florence's experience
at the tea party to stop my worry
ing over your acquaintance with
these men from South America, but
the truth is you've added consid-
erably to it.
I simply can't bring myself to be-
lieve that it's proper for a married
woman to go around as you do or
to become acquainted with men who
have not been introduced to you.
And it may be provincial to set
standards for others, but I have an
idea that fastidious persons will
always do it. Our own standards
may not be the highest, but it's
better to stick to them. I'm sure
couldn't like a man who used per-
fume 1aviShly. I'd much rather
smell your fathers old briar pipe
than a scented coat lapel.
In some ways, Marye dear, you
girls of today think better than we
did, but in others you seem strange
ly blind. So many sides of a situa-
ton escape you. Sometimes I think
it's easier for you to think around
a corner than in a straight line.
Can't you ask yourself what the
outcome of this affair will be? Or
don't you want to spoil it? I've
heard girls profess to liking a dan
gerOus situation-getting a "kick"
out of it. It's nothing but a confess
sion of boredom in most cases. Peo-
pie who are engaged in living USE
full lives don't need danger to slim
ulate them. If you had more to do
you wouldn't want so many thrills.
And smart as you are, you have
not seemed to realize that each
thrill borrows from the next one
Living fast means living short Not
in years perhaps, but in the power
to enjoy life. Better a little mild
pleasure and the capacity to feel
deeply when there is occasion for
it than jaded senses and loss Of in
terest in everything.
You see, know it was for your
self you wanted the thrill you saw
in having tea with a good looking
stranger in fine hotel, even if you
did pretent it was for Florence.
Lovingly,
NOM.
