 St. Mary's Guild will give supper and entertainment in the vestry of Grace church Thursday evening, June 18th. Supper will be served from o'clock to at 8.15. Miss Lizzie Lyman, the elocu- tionist, and Miss Kathrine Clark, the wonderful whistler and banjoist, both of Willimantic, who were so we'll received when they appeared in the opera house, will give the entertainment. The follow ing is from the Conn. Farmer after their appearance in Suffield: Miss Lyman as reader is above criticism. Her easy, graceful bearing on the stage and rich voice will hold an audience as with a spell. Miss Clark's words will fail to ex- press the sweet tones that flow from her lips. To be appreciated they must be heard. From the Colchester Advocate "The selections by Miss Lyman, both pa- thetic and humorous, were rendered in a most pleasing manner, and the whistling, with banjo accompaniment, by Miss Clark created great applause. It is safe to say she is professional. Her imitation of the singing of birds is perfect" From Hart ford Times: Miss Lizzie Lyman, a graduate of Emerson College of Oratory of Boston, received well-deseryed encores to each recitation" Daily Hampshire the program was the whistIing solo by Miss Kathrine Clark. Her rendering ot the 'Mocking Bird was superb" These are but 8 few of many testimonials re- ceived from the press, and the young la dies of St. Mary's Guild are fortunate in securing two such delightful artists.
