Then came Fabiola, a three act drama. H.
lnstratipp in vivid manner the trials and dan,
GERS and hnal triumphs of the early CHRISTIAN
Converts 10 the land of It's foea. The exc u
ton of this drama was most admirably rem
dered. Each participant was well up Ia ner
part. reuui'ing no prompting from beginning
10 end and embu d with. thorough concept
ion of the characters personated. In the
operetta of Lsila, in three parts,
there was some exquisite singing, and
the smaller children acted well their
parts indeed. They were all
moat encbsntingly dressed IN appropriate
costumes. and seemed like sure enough fairies,

vocal powers. Her low notes and
her high, the sweetly, soft and ten.
der ones and the quick explosives, were oil
given not only with exceeding accua and
expressive emphasis, but in admirable taste
from commencement to close. Mics Rosser
bids fair to be one of the most Attractive OF
singers, her voice having great strength,
volume and sweetness. Along with hers IN
the piece Lsila, wac the sympathetic, clear,
tender and charming voice of the beloved OF
her former scboolmates and friends, Miss
Mary Guillot, the charming graduate OF last
year.
A peculiar feature of the prize distribution
was the coatest between Misses Emma NC
Eanis and Annie Lse Rodgers. 80 faith :
fully had these two striven for the gold
crosses in their generous contest or months
religious instruction.
The parting of the classmates gave rise
to some affecting scenes Loving to devo-
ton those pure and devoted sisters who had
80 lsbored il. the cause of their education,
they had come to equally love their alma
mater and their fellow students The scenes
and eDioymen,s of yesterday will be in their
