At he Wheeling Femaio College 4
Feast OF Music and Social Dessert.
The weather was very crooked last
night. Dirty rain water was distilled
through the murky clouds, which came
down lar enough 10 embrace the corner
lamps. The streets were almost lthpas-
sable, and the atmosphere was loaded,
charged clear to the muZzle, so to speak,
with cougrs;ive, miasmatic and raw
bOned eiiiuv!a. Yet an entertainment
had been heralded for the Female Col
ipge, and all the adverse influences noted
could not prevent the spacious hall
lrom being crowded with guests.
The programme tor the first part OF
the evening, which is presented below,
was faithfully and admi;ably carried out
with the exception OF the nOn-appear-
me- Of Madame Sachse, who Was i'll.

Where all was most excellent it may
seem unfair to particularize, and yet
some OF the performers deserve more
than general praise. For instance the
pet Of the school, little Miss Hammond,
only seven years OF age played quite u
difficult selection with fine taste and
expression and so euthused the audience
that she was recalled and performed
again very nicely. She is little must
cal wonder. Then there was much to
admire in the piano Duet by Misses
Bodily and Potts. Miss Sadie Logan
and Miss McCabe sang with fine taste,
their voices blending Charmingly and
making music that set many toes tap
ping. Miss Carrie COckayne played
better than well and the duo by Mrs.
Hammond and Miss Lulu Laughin was
tit ending TO a programme OF merit
throughout. Mrs. Hammond is the in
strumental instruCtresS at the college
and seems through going palnstaklng
and talented musician with the capacity
TO impart her requirements to her
pupils.
Adjournment was then had to the
parlors, whcre.the balance OF very de
lightiul evening was spent IN social CON
verse. This was the first entertainment
of the season at the college, and with
such an auspiciouS opening, coming Ike
events will he looked forward to with
eager anticipation by the trends OF this
model school.
Miss Taylor, the efficient President, is
ITO be commended in no unmeasured
terms for keeping up these entertain
ments and receptions, which are open
to the plftlic. They serve to give the
pupils under her charge perfect conf
dence in themselves, al ease and grace
OF manner that stands them in good
stead, and fits them for the social circle
when they leave school. The or
binary boarding school girl who
sees 40 one during the course OF her
studies but her teachers and school
mates, finds when she enters the parIor
OF ner home to entertain her friends, an
entirely new and strange atmosphere
which embarrasses her, makes her awk-
ward and causes her to appear to the
worst possible advantage no matter how
well her mind may be stored. in recOg,
nizing this and preventing such results
hv the means alluded TO, Miss Taylor
deserves the greatest praise. And when
in addition to this she conducts her
school with splendid Judgment, such in
fact rs her wide experience AS an educa-
