passed Off pleasantly. Great credit is reflected
to the laiF managors-Mrs. ID. l.. Fuller, Mrs.

Mary A. Brown-for their untiring energy
in preparing the little ones for the parts which
they SO happily performed. TO speak in es-
pecial praise Of this or that one, is unneees-

enough to appear in pants to the blush

which they rendered their peices. Songs,
dialogues, addresses and essays were each
given with ease and effect The Christmas
trees were tastily trimmed and loaded with
rich profusion and made many merry

right to feel that their work has been done
and successfully done, and we trust the public
will not have to wait until another Christmas
day before these children can again have an
opportunity Of exhibiting their training.
