The French Circle is presenting a comedy: farce, La Cagnotte by name, tomorrow night in the chapel. Curtain at 8:15 P. M. For your information, /a cagnotte means the money-box. A group of provincial friends, who have been saving the pro- ceeds of a year's card games, decide to go to Paris to spend the contents of their money-box. While in Paris, they get tricked and into difficulties on all sides. They are finally rescued by Félix, a young notary deeply in love with Champ- bourcy's daughter. Much of the trouble comes about by everyone's talking at once and nobody's really explaining any- thing. For a better idea of what the play is about-venez la voir! - The French Circle regrets to announce that Mile Allingry was unable to direct the play because of her health. Dr. E. Margaret Grimes has taken it over and has done an excellent piece of work. There have also been some changes in the cast, which revised read as follows; Jean Barber . Elizabeth Smith .

The moral is-if no one asks you 'to buy a ticket, there will still be plenty at the door. Genelal admission is 35¢; French Circle members, 25c. | , . M governed
