Cleveland is chairman, will hold a session in the future and after that will meet with the board of finance to discuss an appropriation by the town.
 In tho event that there is any money left over after expenses have been met, the Tercentenary committee will turn 1t over to child welfare work, to be used under the supervision of the school nurse.

The Watertown high school sen- for play, "The Patsy, was very ably presented last evening in the high school auditorium, before an audience of about 600.
 The cast, coached by Miss Edith Huntington, gave an enviable per formance, each member living ms or her characterization to per1ec- tion.
 The story of the play pictures life in the modern American Home with John Flynn, as Bill Harrlng- ton, the henpecked husband, who, in spite of his aspiring wife, Edith Banks, as Mrs Harrington, and so- cial climber daughter, Dorothy Wookey, as Grace, champions the younger daughter, Patricia, a mod ern Cinderella, and the heroine, taken by Ethel Edwards.
 The mother and Grace, busy in getting the latter engaged to the wealthy Bill Caldwell, taken by Ludwig Jasilunas, never consider Patricia. All her life little Cin- derella, Patsy buys some books on witty and clever sayings, as means of making her the most popular girl in town. Comedy runs high, when the mother and sister believe that she is losing her mlno whenever she repeats jokes memo rized from the purchased books.
 Romance enters when Vincent Keilty, as Tony Anderson, the jilt- ed suitor of Grace, drops in one evening after Grace has gone out; and Patricia, all her life in love with Tony, very charmingly enter tains him. Conversations on sev- eral topics, finally has Pat telling Tony she is in love with somebdy, who doesn't know she exists. Tony. thinking of how things turned out for himself in the game of love. decides to coach Pat. but after q few lessons, the inevitable happens and he finds himself in love with her. The selfish Grace after q quarrel with Bill,' prepares to ac- cept Tony, but the latter has al- ready spoken for Patricia's hand. The play ends happily, as MT Harrington, the once hen-pecked husband, becomes the dictating head of the house; Grace and Bill make up--and, but of course, Tony and Pat find each other.
 Music between the acts was fur nished by the high school orches- tra, under the direction of Alfred Deland. The two soloists were Miss Peggy Gillander and Miss Rena Stevens.
 The scenery was very realistic. and that, together with. the lighting effects, was under the management of Robert Ineson.
