CERCLE LITTERAIRE FRANCAIS.

The following was the cast:—Paquin, keeper of tho restaurant, Mr. Cooke; Faciuin Fils, the impudent son, Mr. Gardner, a customer, Mr. Manning; an Englishman, 'Mr. Neal; his two daughters, the Misses "ason; President of the Horticultural Hociety, Mr. Lattey; the Vice-President. Mrs. Johnson; 3onas, Mr. : Powell j Cnrcimbroi, Mis;> Mead; a Gendarme, Mr. Hemingway; a guest, Mr. Eedmond. The stage directions were efficiently read by Mr. White. An introductory piano piece was played by Miss Claclmn, and 't song was sung by Mr. Powell, as ono of the characters in the farce. It was arranged to have a debate at next meeting on the subject. "Should there be women cooks at Trcutham to avoid waste?"
