How atten- tive then should we be te the kind of deeds we perform, Our lives have these three outlets; What we are, what we say and what we do, and the ques- tion for us te think about is on which side is eur influence, on the side of good or evil, for God or the devil I pray your influence may alwaye be on the right side and that you will-be 2 blessing to these about you.

The new three-act comedy The Clever Woman, with May Robson in the premier part, kept a big house at the Davis theatre on Thursday even- ing bubbling over with enjoyment and at the work of Miss Robson and equal- Iy with the intelligent interpretations given by the well chosen support with which she was surrounded. At the end of every act the curtain calls brought the principals out to acknowledge the fayor of the house. In the part of Mrs. Matthew Lam- son, formerly of Omaha, but now of New York, inclined to a comfortable, if stout, middle age, and rebellion against the social career to which her husband’s millions would force her, Miss Robson had a character which she assumed with perfect understand- ing, while Burr Caruth was impres- sive as Matthew Lamson, the foreeful man of miilions. who finds that it takes the wit of the clever woman af- ter all to bring out the right solution when the Son of the family clashes in his love affair with the career that his father had marked out for him through marriage. In the choosing of the cast there was a nice adaptation, facially and temperamentally, o the parts, and this was_particularly hoticeable in_the case of Catherine Claredon, Ann MacDon- ald and_Paul Decker. As the “flirty soclety fluff” whom Pater Lamson de- sired Lamson Junior to marry, but the latfer scorned, Miss Claredon was vivaciously charming, and Miss Mac- Donald was equally capable as the self possessed and efficient stenogra- pher and private seeretary whose charms make an inrcad upor Son Lamson's heart. Paul Decker was the breesy, easy epending college youth just breaking into business, and he captufed the house . with 1life and verve which he put into his lines and actinig. The cast also Included Edith Conrad, John Rowe, Chauncey Smyth, Phil Bishop, Geraldine Griffith, Roy Ardmore and 5. W. McEiroy. : FUNERAL, John Edward Sh The funeral of John Edwatd Shea ‘was held from the home of his mother, Mrs. Mary Lyons Shea, in Montville, Thursday morning, with services in St. John's_church,” where Rev.
