“Succrssrur, PRESENTATION OF PLAY 
at WoMEN’s CLUB 
Tuesday evening the Foster club 
gave the comedy, Breezy Point; 
at the clubhouse for the bene- 
fit of the Blynman Grammar school 
Piano Fund. The hall was packed 
to the doors, many being obliged to 
stand throughout the performance. 
The cast was as follows: Ashrael 
Grant, Miss Elizabeth A. Brown; 
Pearl, Miss Beatrice Story; 
Commerford, 
Nelson, 
Leigh, Bernice Vernon— 
Mullen;  Fantine, Miss 
Vernon’s French maid, Woties lc 
V. Carr; Mrs. Hardscratch, Miss 
Dorothy Story; Sophia Zenia Hard- 
Bethia 
Fenley—Miss Eleanor 
Laura 
Miss Mehitable Doolittle, 
Miss Maybelle Sampson ; Old Clem, 
Miss Edna Symonds; Other Gipsies, 
Murphy, Miss Edith 
Height, and Miss Mildred Commer- 
ford. 
The selection of characters was 
well made, and the girls entered into 
their parts with vim and enthusiasm. 
Miss Elizabeth Brown, as Ashrael, 
the poorhouse wail, was the hit of 
the evening, and her Yankee drawl 
and quaint sayings brought down the 
house, Mrs. Carr took the difficult 
character part of the French maid 
chic m 
to perfection and was very 
appearance as well. Miss Gertrude 
West was a success as Aunt ‘Debby, 
and her niece, whose part was taken 
by Miss Beatrice Story, was attrac- 
tive and pleasing. The boarding 
school girls were all so good that it 
was impossible to make any distine- 
tion, and_ the Hardscratch mother 
and twin daughters were extremely 
funny, and they were well received. 
Miss Symonds was very good in the 
part of the old gipsy woman, Clem, 
and her makeup and costume were 
exceptionally good. 
The gipsy camp scene was quite 
effective, and the committee in 
charge made the most of their facil- 
ities. It was during this scene that 
Miss Murphy gave a_ solo gipsy 
dance, followed by two encores, that 
were vastly successful. Miss Murphy

IDEAL Dandelion Killer 
TO kill the dandelion or other weeds simply fill the tube 
with gasoline, place the plunger of the valve on the 
heart of the plant and push down on the tube a very 
little—just enough to open the valve. 
spoonful of gasoline will be dropped on the heart of the 
plant, which kills it roots and all. 
to wither and the root turn dark in twenty-four hours 
and the entire plant will die and dry up in a few days. 
Grass will soon grow in the scar where the dandelion

has studied under the best of teach- 
ers, and is very graceful and untir- 
ingly vigorous in her dancing. She 
was rewarded Tuesday evening by 
round after round of applause and 
masses of roses and carnations. Miss 
Height and Miss Commerford 
danced a pleasing little prelude to 
Miss Murphy’s dance and they were 
recalled. Mrs. Arthur Homans ac- 
companied the dancers on the piano. 
The affair netted a substantial sum 
toward the fund, and was in every 
way a success. Mrs. Foster, who has 
been in charge, is to be congratulated 
upon the management of the play. 
From» Massacuusetts RED Cross 
HEADQUARTERS 
Miss Louisa P. Loring, Red Cross 
Emergency Secretary for Mass. has 
received the following from Wash- 
ington : 
“Telegram: Great number unfor- 
tunate Mexican people largely wo- 
men and children facing death by 
starvation. The President and the 
American Red Cross appeal most 
urgently to people of United States 
not to let sufferers at our own door 
die for lack of food. 
C. A. Devot, Acting Chairman, 
American Red Cross.” 
Already the American Red Cross 
has a carload of corn and one of 
beans on the way from Laredo, 
Texas, to Consul General Hanna at 
Monterey. Free freight and free 
duties have been arranged for, and 
the military authorities guarantee 
safe conduct. The Red Cross can- 
not continue to send assistance with- 
out public contributions. In scores 
of Mexican towns the same terrible 
conditions exist. Here we have in 
our western hemisphere people face 
to face with absolute starvation. The 
Red Cross will place its own agent in 
Mexico and through the State De- 
partment in co-operation with the 
United States Consuls there such 
supplies as may be purchased with 
the contributions or given in kind 
will be distributed among the sufter- 
ing non-combatants. 
All contributions of money will be 
gratefully received by the Mass.

Wuy Hr Wen’ To A CONCERT 
Josef Hofmann has a story which 
illustrates the attitude of many peo- 
ple toward recitals of piano music. 
A pianist was to give a concert, 
and as the audience was filing in the 
ticket taker stopped a man who pre- 
sented two tickets. 
“You can’t go in,” the official said. 
“You're not in fit condition.” 
“Didnt I pay for my _ tickets?” 
questioned the would-be auditor. 
“Aren’t they in order?” 
“They're perfectly in order,” was 
the reply, “but the truth is you're 
drunk.” : 
“Drunk? Drunk?” mused — the 
other, solemnly placing the passports 
in his pocket. “Of course I’m drunk. 
If I weren’t drunk would I come to 
a piano recital?” 
Many people take your advice— 
but few ever use it.
