The missionary entertainment at Freedom
did not come off; but somebody's bells came
off while the people were inside. We suppose
some miscellaneous boy got Tommy's bells and

A PHYSICAL Culture exhibition.

A review Of the work in physical culture
OF the Female Department Of Western Md.
College was given Thursday evening at $50
o clock in Smith Hall auditorium. This was
not intended as formal exhibition, and no
announcement was made that it would be
public, but nevertheless quite an audience in
addition To the students was present The
Senior and Junior classes led off with club
swinging, doing many graceful and difficult
curves, circles and twists, all beautifully timed
TO the strains of a dreamy waltz. The Pre-
paratory classes gave dumbbel exercise,
the movements of which were in marked
contrast to those of the preceding perform
ance. With clubs the motion is all continuous,
one swing gliding into and blending with an
other, and thus leading to extreme ease and
gracefulness. With the dumbbels the motion
Is impulsive, more in the nature Of thrust,
and tends more to the development of muscle.
The music for the exercise was a schottische,
and that, too, shows the difference from the
waltz rhythm of clubs. The Sophomore class
did some very beautiful fancy marching, the
various figures being very effectively brought
out by the costumes worn. Dresses of deli
cate pink or blue for alternate ones in the
line, or for partners, made it more easy to
follow them through the perplexing mazes
through which they moved with soldier like
precision. here is AN exercise tnat gives 10
the schoolgirl that fine carriage and refined
bearing that should characterize the lady.
The Freshman class closed the program with
what is acceded to be not only the finest
thing in the way of an exercise given on the
occasion, but ever seen at the College. 1t
might be called gesture. 1t belongs very de-
cldedy TO the Delsarte system, combining
graceful gesticuations with very becoming
attitudes, much attention being paid to facial
expression. Among the subjects represented
were anxiety, fear, devotion, anger, prayer,
sorrow, joy, gossip. For this exercise the
young ladies were appropriately dressed in
Grecian gowns of white, and wore their hair
flowing down. OF course the gymnasium
work proper could not be shown on the
stage, and the Swedish movements, too, are
not well adapted for exhibition purposes.
The department is under the management Of
Miss X. NJ. Smith, and this general review
spoke well for her efficiency. Miss Kinney,
of the Musical Staff, accompanied all the
work on the piano, and as the success of the
class depends so largely on the way this ac.
is done, it is due Miss Kinney to
say that her part was splendidly executed.
