SOCIETY CHAT.

House. 1t was thoroughly successful and
greatly enjoyed by all the faculty, no less than
by the umfortunates who are confined there and
for whose pleasure and amusement it is a
charity to contribute ones services. Where all
did so well it would be invidious to particu-
larize, but the deicacy and feeling with which
Miss Mollie Byrne rendered her three solos and
Miss Nellie Dobbins her solo and encore seem
only Just and deserved. Mrs. Cridler's efforts
were thoroughly appreciated and to her indi-
vidual exertions much of the success of the
entertainment may be directly attributed.
