 -''Grandpan:- Shaffer, now living in Hartford, is in feeble condition. The children and young persons of South Wilmington favored their friends on. Friday evening with a very pleasant and enjoyable entertainment. The exercises were acceptably opened with selections by the orchestra" Thomas Denman and George Connor played the breath organ, and w allace Preston furnished piano accompaniment. Then selections were we'll rendered by . chorus consisting of Misses Korper, W Whitford, Rena and Bertha Young and Thos. Dennan, Walter Con nor, George Connor and Wallace Preston. The distinctively musical portion of the program consisted further of a duet, Mn- sic on the Waves" by Miss Korper and Miss Rena Young, and duet, "The Mur- muring Sea-" by Miss Essex and Thos. Denman. After the first selection by the chorus there was a recitation by Arthur Deyereux, Wallace Lillibridge and Charlie and Horace Mckinney. As. usual the youngest were most heartily received. Homer Neil in recitation, Little Boys," and Louise Dimock in 8 recitation, ''Spell Talk" conducted themselves very credit ably. Claude Grant presented so nat uradly the feelings of the boy proud of his first pair of ''S'penders and Boots, as to elicit an encore. "Leo's Complaint" or 'the trials of the middle boy of the family" by Leo Korper, highly amused the audience. Other recitations were Baby Logic," by Bessie Potter; "A Message" by Mabel Woodworth ..one Afternoon" bg Leslie Korper; Some body's Mother" by Miss Carrie Curtis; Every Such a Man," by Miss Lena W hit ford "In School Days," by Lizzie Dim- ock; "A Queer Boy,"'. by Alice Grant, and "Only 8 Boy," by Frank Spicer. The dialogues showed on the part of the young persons considerable appreciation of the dramatic situations. There were three. of these: ''The Sick Doll," by. Clarence Gurgler, Lulu Devereux and Florence Neil; "How the House was Cleaned, r by Edith. Scott, Bertha Young; George Brack- cit and Robbie Hull and ''The Train to Mauro," by Miss Amy Williams, Wallace Preston. and Arthur Spieer. Clarence Gurgler acted we'll the doctor. Miss Will: liams presented admirably tho character of garrulons old woman, and Arthur Spicer not less so that of the urchin care less of everything but gingerbread and fishing. A song by stbe choiua, New England" preceded by recitations from Alice Grant, Leo Korper, Bessie Potter, Jimmie Connor, Lizzie Dimock and Clar- ence Essex, representing in order the six New England states, was not the least suggestive and intsresslng part of the pro gram. The action song, Masonic Mo tions, !" the march and drill by eight boys, and the march and hoop drill by eight young men and eight young ladies' the latter clad all int pink, pleased the au- dienee as such evolutions always do please. Miss Jennie Essex presided at the piano throughout the evening, and was grace fully remembered by beautiful basket of blushing roses, the gift of the young ladies and gentlemen of the drill. The entertainment closed with the rendering of Home Sweet Home" by the orch hestra. The audience would have been somewhat larger had the evening been less cold and clustering. The hall was nevertheless fairly well filed. All present, we are sure, will unite in cordially congratulat. ing Miss Miller for the success of hei painstaking efforts in training the young people. All will be gratified also to see the school grounds, as the result of the efforts of teacher and pupils, change theil present unsightly aspect for one of smooth ness and cleanliness. 7 -s.Of course, If thing isn't so, the more reasons 8 man knows that prove that il must be so, the farther he Is from thu truth and the less chance there is of its percolating into him."
