The crowd laugh often. Dolya, the Tea Girl, as present- 'ed by. W. Francis Firth contains dothing vulgar, is well acted, has J good humor in it, is pleasing in its music and is enjoyed by all. There, is nothing "solemncholy *' about the production and the most light- hearted young people need have no fear of being bored to death by something " unco guid," ~The play gives a very "good per- sonation of a possible Japanese romance, the costumes and staging being very good.

Don't tell anybody we eaid so, but ii might be a good idea to get some- thing good like that to take the place of our crrtain. This of course must not be said out too loud or the town halt walls might hear and require re'dccorating too. So keep quiet about it. « Miss May, who personates the Lea, girl; is.clever in the simpljeity of her acling and her voice is clear and sweet. Miss Tewsley is a'good clotutionist with cousiderable dramatic 'force: which had great scope in her first selection--an in- cident in the Civil War of the United States. If a suggestion wotild be acceptable it would be that Miss Tewsley disguise her hair as well as dou thie Japanese in order to deceive Captain Montague. The audience like to be deceived too aud a- dark hair net. might accomplish the trans- formation quite simply. Mr. Firth and Mr. Lalonde both act their parts well and the piauist is deserv- ing of compliment for bis sympa- thetic 4ccompaniment. --- The singing throughout was of high merit and it is an unusual pleasure to hear an. author sing a [Solo like the " Great White Star."

The annual display of Spring millinery is ever welcome. Pretty faces may find a dbzen suitable settings, and sigh to think that they cannot all be chosen. This bit of brightness is sometimes made the subject of sarcastic remarks, but the sarcastic oncs fike to see a prettily attired lady as well as anyone else. And who would not be tempted to buy when the hats are so beautiful ? A DISPLAY OF GOOD TASTE If you like to study harmony in color you had better visit the mil linery department of Jones, Dunk & Co. The question as to whether you buy the most expensive hat in the store or any hat at all is a mat: ter to be decided by the visttor. In the first place it may be said that the summer styles shown here are not extreme. The shapesare large: ly sailoes and turbans. One style that should be particularly comfort- table and beautiful is the mohair braid, trimmed in deeper shades of its own color. It would not weigh more than a butterfly and is quite as airy and pretty. Ask to see the mohair braid shapes. The one we saw was corn color and was trimmed with ribbon of tar] and brown. © The ** merry widow' sailor with Psilk sunflower rosette is something quite new around here. A turban in Alice blue with ostrich mounts is remarkable for its daintiness. It sometimes happens that ostrich plumes. are loud and showy, but they .do not seem so here. Another pretty hat is a straw trimmed with old rose tulle agd feathers. If you were told that green, brown, cham could be put inta_the trimming of one hat you might be skeptical as to the results. In some hands you would be justified in being skep- tical but not when Miss Call hand- {les the colois. Artists know how to blend colors. If you are inter: ested in prices we might say that they run - from $3.00 to $10.00: Don't fail to see the hats and the beautilully arranged surroudings. lent plage to rest for a short time and to feast your eyes on the od around you. t alone that the beauty may ' The whole store is beau: [to the decorators, 'pagne, red, and dark wine shades « ly decorated. and does credit| TERE CHARTERED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT 1881 Twentieth Year of Port Perry Agency NOTICE TO DEPOSITORS Six months" interest has been added to vou deposits.
