Second and Last Night of the
Paper Carnival.
Splendid Programme of Tableaux
and Statuary.
A Priceless Picture Gallery Ad-
mired by all.
Brief Mention of a Few of the
Beautiful Costumes.

beautiful scenes at Library hall last even
ing. The hall was a pretty picture. The
opaIescent rays of mYriads of lights fell
upon hundreds of handsome faces and
rich costumes. The poetry in the mis-
sives circulated through the fairy post of.
fee was made commonplace when COM
pared with the graceful movemen Of
the dancers. 1t was the last night of the
unique paper carnival, the finest church
entertainment ever given in the city and
the participants seemed laboring under
the firm conviction that a similar event
would never again occur. The dancing
was sandwiched with exhibitions on the
stage and scenes from dreamland was
presented every time the curtain was
furled aloft. Those who have labored for
weeks in order that the carnival might be
successful should be more than satisfied.
Nothing but praise was bestowed upon
the numbers of the wondrous programme.
Even mild criticism would have been en-
tirely out Of place. All agreed hat pro-
f%essional beauties could not compare with
the Cheyenne bellies.
After a waltz a tableau titled the First
Dancing Lesson was announced. 1t was
a reproduction of a Roger group. j. X.
Jeffrey assumed the role of master, and
closely watching his violin bow was his
beautiful little daughter Helen. in a dane
ing attitude. Gazing at the pupil were
Belle Draper, Alberta jerks and Louise
Smith.
Hope and Memory was a fine study
and perfect in every detail. Before an
open CRATE, in a deep day dream was Miss
Maud Horrie-hoping. In an arm chair
sat Secretary Shannon in a pretty costume
with a guitar across his knees-thInking
of by-gone days. By the way, the hand
some official AYERS that his memories are
far sweeter than the hopes of any of his
many friends.
Between two flames was on the
charade order, In a rich oriental cos
tune Miss Fannie Crook held a taper in
each hand. On either side, lighting a
cheroot were John David and John Kuy-
kendall.
The picture gallery was lauded to the
skies. No famous collection of works of
the old masters could approach it in
beauty and trueness to life. The cos.
tuning could not be excelled, while the
posing was very artistic. 1t is hoped
that the portrait exhibition will be repro
duced at an early date. The pictures
were:
Margaret. Miss Alice Smith
Spanish Mrs. Wilcox
Joan de Arc.............Mrs. Van Tassell
Juliet. Miss Crook
Beatrice Cenci. Miss Horrie
Come and Kiss
Miss Mamie Addoms
Tambourine Miss Whitcomb
Ophelia. Miss Lisle Smith
Ideal Head. Miss Moore
The appearance of Mai. Shannon and
DR.. Garrard in the tableau ''rhose Laugh
Who VIM" was one of the finest things
of the evening. The scene was at a chess
table. The encore afforded both perform
ers an opportunity to act as principal.
First DR.. Garrard smiled on the secretary
al the latter studied over a move. Then
the tables were turned.
Miss Alice Smith and T. B. Adams
were the "Huguenot Lovers" and strong
ly reminded one of the days of chivalry.
La Confetti was the final tableau.
1t was a Scene from Carnival days in
Italy. Three beautiful maideus view the
jewellers from a balcony and throw candy
and fruit to the favored mes in the pro-
c~ession. The occupants of the balcony
we're the Misses Lizzie Whitcomb,
Blanche Moore and Fannie Crook.
Living marble is a rare staple. The
highly priced article, in appropriate hab-
ilaments, mounted on pedestals, we're
viewed with astonishment by the specta-
tors last evening. The statutes were:
Judith. Miss Horrie
Parthenia. Miss Crook
Galatea. Miss Moore
Water Bearer Miss Whitcomb
Dancer Miss Mamie Addoms
Dick Wilmington Moore
Purity. ............... Miss Lisle Smith
The statuary exhibition concluded the
entertainment programme and the audi
ence dispersed after a couple of dances.
The supper room was crowded the en-
tire evening and the receipts from that
source were very satisfactory. Itmay not
be out of place at this %juncture to pay
tribute to the %tireless and indefatigable
managers Of the carnival. Mrs. Conway,
Mrs. Humphreys and Mrs. Hoyt superin
tended the distribution of the eatables
and were ably assisted by an industrious
bevy of charming ladies. T. ,. Adams,
Mrs. Glover and Mrs. L. Mason Smith
had charge of the amusement programme
and have been voted purveyors to the
public taste par excellence. The oRiging
Fort Russell ladies also deserve especial
mention.
