hat to match and carried a shower of
white roses. She was attended by Miss

who wore pink crepe de chine and carried
pink roses. The best man was Martin L.
Peters, of Phoenixville, also a brother of

FOR LOVERS OF BOOKS
Several new books have been received
at the Hershey Free Public Library since
the last announcement. "The Fur Bring-ers,"
an entrancing story of the Canadian
Northwest by Hulbert Footner and "The
Portygee," by Joseph C. Lincoln are two
books of fiction that have been placed on
the shelves. The "Adventures of Tom
Sawyer " by Mark Twain , is a book that
will interest every body. In fiction "Te>m
Sawyer " is a nationally known figure but
we can all become intimately acquainted
with this character by a perusa l of this
book .
For the younger folks have been se-cured
two very good books. "Heidi , " by
Johanna Spyri and "The Little Lame
Prince, " by Frances Hodgson Hurnctt , are
books which will be specially intere 'sling
te> Girl Reserves. They are wonderfu l
suirie-s of the fairy world and just the sort
all young folks may rea d with bene lit.
Our library has many technical books
which should prove of value ' to artisans
and students. Hooks, written by authori-ties
, on engineering, agriculture , domestic
science, zoology, natural science, philology,
line arts , communications , geology and
others , are here awaiting your use.
It is a foregone conclusion that boeik-lovirs
have some notable advantage s
over other people, Book-lovers need
never know lonely hours for nei company
eif companions can be so delightful , nor
so entertaining, as good hooks, Even
more t h a n entertainment , from good
books can he drawn such mental fooct as
no companions can supply. Even while
renting from their labors they are through
the books they love , equipping themselves
to perform these labors more efficiently .
Hook-lovers , too, if the hooks are really
good benefit signally by the increase*!
knowledge they obtain of the correct
meaning and the proper use of words.
Thousands of people; do not eat of the
frui ts of success nor sense the satisfacti on
and je )y of progress because of their in-abili
ty te» speak and to write correctly .
Many canned spell simple weirds correctly
though tin y have been let (school, With
good reason employers hesitate lei promote;
such people to positions (hat involve much
oral or written communication with others.
The reading e>f goeid books is one of the
surest ways to guard against such a
business handicap, The mim w hose vo-cabulary
is limited , who is weak in grnm-
(Con linucd on page. 8.)
The remaining weeks of the summer
season at Hershey Park Theatre are filled
with good things and play goers are much
interested in the plays announced for
production. Thursday, Friday and Satur-day
of this week Mr. Hillis is presenting
the famous comedy drama "Marching
Through Georgia. " It is founded on
incidents surrounding Sherman's memor-able
march to the sea. Every possible
attention will be paid to scenic investure
and to costuming. Miss Wilmer after
a three days rest will be seen in one of her
best parts as old Mammy Chloe.
Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-day,
anot her novel attraction , "A Good for
nothing Husband," will be produced .
The play tells a decidedly interesting tale
of domestic infidelity. From beginning
to end the play abounds in thrilling inci-dents
relieved by effervescent comedy and
romantic atmosphere. "A Good for noth-ing
Husband" will please the most exact-ing
theatregoer, its moral lesson having
a universal appeal.
"Breaking into Society " announced for
the final three days of next week will
prove the laughing success of the season.
"Breaking into Society " was a former
starring vehicle for the Four Mortons.
The story involves the doings of a family
which suddenly inherits a vast fortune.
For awhile things move nicely but event-ually
all involved decide that their former
routine of living is by far the better.
"Breaking into Society " is a succession
of screamingly funny situations but con-taining
at the same time much'sound logic.
The latest recruit with the Manhattan
Players, Mr. Frank Roberts, is a decided ly-likeable
chap assuming his first profession-al
engagement. He has just finished his
College career and is embarking upon his
chosen life work. During his college days
he frequently appeared before the foot -
lights and much successattended his efforts.
The movie program for the week will
be:—
Monday, August 16:- -A big V Comedy,
"Fists and Fodder. "
Tuesday and Wednesday, August 17
and 18: "Ladies Tailors," a Mack Sennett
comedy.
Thursday and Friday, August 19 and
20: Twelfth Episode of "The Lost City. "
Saturday, August 21: A Sunshine
Comedy, "Should Dummies Wed?"

equipment has been secured and in these'
new parlors , where the term "de luxe "

which , electrically operated , will brush
every speck eif elust freini pa t rons before
they leave the 1 shop Ijiese are but two
e)f the many surprise's in store.
