pie charity dress.
During the evening two fancy
dances were performed. The Spanish
dance, by Rita Schmidt and Gardie
Macfarlane delighted everyone. The
former was beautifully dressed in
red brocaded silk aad spangles, black
velvet jacket edged with gold the
latter in a pretty little dress of red

quaintness and grace with which two
tiny mites of seven. Elsie Schaefer
and Bessie Lawrence danced the
minuet. These little maidens were
attired in long skirts with full bout
FAINT paniers, long pointed waists,
their hair done up and powdered.
The house being beautifully decor
ated, the scene looked like fairyland.
The children had a most enjoyable
time and their elders-a sight to be
remembered lifetime.
