Miss JEANNE PATTERSON Miss Jeanie Pat
terson entertained small but intelligent and
appreciative audience at Sarcpta Hall last night
with readings and recitatnns. TO say that she
entertained her hearers is not expressing as
forcibly as might be done the degree of pleasure
she afforded them, for she won their hearts
when she was led upon the stage and introduced
by Rev. Dr. DANA her former pastor, and
kept them until she had pronounced the last
''nevermore' in the Raven, the conclusion OF
the programme, and people nowadays, even
Firginians, don't give away their hearts with
out receiving an equivalent. And her attrac-
tions are legitimate In the first place she Is
lady then she is pretty, and graceful, and Won
dertu to be told dresses properly and tasteiuily;
then she is bright, cheerful, well educated and
intelligent, perfect y self possessed, has good
voice, and. last night, had a well selected pro-
gramme. She is one Of the few, too, who
seem to catch the spirit Of the author from
whom they read, and so appropriate 1t as to
make the audience for the time forget that
what IL expressed Is not original; indeed, to
such an extent was this gift manifested in
her rendition Of the Caudle lecture, that the
opinion prevails among some of those who were
so fortunate as to hear her: that her quallhca-
tons for the dramatic stage would be more APP
parent than those she already possesses, as al
elocutiouist, superior as these latter unques-
tionably are Miss Patterson will appear be
fore Leesburg audience tonight, and 1t Is
possible she may be induced to reappear IN
Alexandria some time next week, and II so an
agreeable evening is guaranteed to all who may
then hear her. She will give readings in Char
lottcsville and Lexington during this month,
and if she don't seriously Interfere with the
Intermediates at those places, the students
are not the same sort OF young men they were
ten years ago.
