Quits Barber Shops
To Avoid Giving Tips.
Manchester Gusrdian.-M. Jean
Chariot, who, because of his determi-
nation not to give tips, is finding life
rather difficult in Partisan clubs and
cafes, would have had the sympathy of
q friend of Henry Labouchere, who
suffered in a similar cause. Having q
conscientious objection to tipping bar

self. this hero had to travel consider
ably over 100 miles in one year. at a
cost Of some IS m fares, in order to find
new shops where his unbending atti-
tude on the tipping question was un-
known, since 1t was impossible for him
to find efficient service a second time in
any one establishment. Finally, having
exhausted the whole range of London
and suburban BARRIERS, he gave up the
struggle-not by rendering tips but by
growing beard, which, presumably, he
trimmed himself.

 Witkus was positive that Kline was responsible for an invasion ot his coop and the disappearance of three of his flock, of chickens. He claims that when he went to ir- vestigate a noise in the vicinity of his hen house he observed a man running away. He recognized him as Kline.
 The original decision of the court was that Kline should be held for superior court. As he would be unable Co raise bail 1t meant a trip to jail. The court was given evil dence to discredit the testimony of Witkus and Kline received the the benefit of any doubt in his case.

Workshop Play to
 Be Given Dec 23
.sThe Christmas Miracle Will Be First Workshop
 Production of Season

| The little Theatre announces the presentation of "The Christmas Miracle" as it's first Workshop pro- duction of the season. It VIII De given the Friday before Christmas, December gard at the First Baptist church. (cornerof Grove street and l Central ayenue). This production should be an unusually interesting one. Everyone at Christmas time enjoys being Carried back in mag l ination to the first Christmas and there is about the old miracle plays an ethereal and delicate beauty mixed LID with a simple and naive realism which carries one back 10 | the days when all the world was young. This particular play is from | the Coventry Cycle and was origin ally given by the Guild of Tailors and Shearsmen. It is of the period of dramatic history when the plays | had been forbidden by the church because of secular elements Whlcn had crept into the story. It was | therefore presented on moveapie stages or wagons which traveled from one market-place to anotner. The audiences stood in the street to witness the performance ana at | CerCaIH DOlHlS III thO PAeeJ oNf | of the actors might come down the stage and mingle with the crowd. Miss Schoeni hopes to give. this play as much in the spirit Of the medieval miracles as possible and she will therefore avail herself Of | this fiexibiIity of locale Or acting area" Because of the religious na- ture of the play. it seemed appro- | priate to give 1t in church and | 1t was felt that this would greatly enhance the spirit and atmosphere | of the play. In keeping with the tone of such a performance, Miss Schoeni expects that the usual ap- plause after the performance will be omitted. Instead it is hoped that the audience will join in the singing of the last Christmas carol.
 The cast for the miracle play Is as follows:
 Mary ... Mrs William Wirt Young Joseph .E. H. Davis
 Herod Charles Leader
 The Angel Gabriel. Donald Dunne The Prophet Isaiah ...........
 .E. Sidney Bronson
 The Fool .......;. Wilder Greeley The Three Shepherds ....r....
 Messrs John $. F. Castle; Lou MOTliSOn, anu <AstHui ouiii'"'
 The Three Kings ..............
 Messrs Anthony Rodgers; Jo- seph Fiftal; Frederick Vaill A group of Little Theatre mem-
 bers will sing several old Christmas
 carols at various spots in thep lay.
 Anyone interested in joining this group of singers is asked to get In touch with Miss Schoeni or with
 Mrs Robert Birt (Tel 4-5518) who is in charge of the music. Walter
 Goodson will take charge of the lighting. This will be rather com piicated involving as it does a "fol-
 low-spot" to light up the various acting areas and regulating the star. Miss verna Bauck. whose genius for design and effective color combination has contributed to the success of numberless Little
 Theatre plays. will have charge of the costumes. The pageantry will
 be greatly enhanced by colorful theatrical costumes in the spirit of the play.

CHARACTER OF THE
 NATIVE AFRICAN
Subject of Address By Father Kilbride Before
 Holy Name Society
AT ST MARGARET'S

Rev James Kilbride. who re- gently returned for a visit to his home in this city after three years service as a missionary In Africa. addressed members of the Holy Name Society of St Margaret'e church at their meeting last eve-
 ming. Father Kilbride very inter- estingly described his experiences and contradicted popular opinions concerning life and the natives of Africa. He also depicted their religious ceremonies, their customs of selecting a name for a child and
 moral aspects of their primitive life.
 With the exception of one tribe | in the region in which he served
 Father Kilbride pictured the na- tives as docile people and far from being addicted to cannibalistic ten- dencies. Their morals and general conduct were in some respects. generally speaking, on higher plane than some civilized people.
 Their attitude toward missionaries was friendly and they manifested
 a keen eagerness to learn the teachings of Christianity. Africa offers a most fertile field for mis-
 sionaries, the speaker declared.
 but the number of workers is re- gretfully small.
 Father Kilbride was stationed at
 St James Seminary, Newmanshia,
 Africa. His word pictures of the
 country in which he worked con-
 trasted strangely to many popular opinions about the country over- run with warlike savages and wild | animals There are plenty of both, but one has to travel far and search for them.
 During the business meeting Thomas J. Flanagan, chairman of the membership committee and financial secretary, reported that
 some 250 names are now on the
 roster of the society. It was voted to hold a card tournament under
 the auspices of the society on Jan- uary 18th,
