PERSONS ana juliet brOOK6 wore the
short, black skirts, while Fannie Rowe
wore the red. White waists with
velvet German jackets, laced and but
toned, and the white German cover
ings for the head, with slippers on
the feet, completed the costumes.
They sang seraphically, and hearty
applause marked an appreciation of
their efforts. Miss Carrothers, &C.
companist.
Switzerland Come, Dorothy,
Come of the earliest Confedera-
tons and Republics of Freedom with
it's Alpine and Jurassic belts, its pic
turesque scenery and romantic valleys;
its warm, music-loving populace born
for freedom, was placed before the
audience by the prima donna of the
evening, Miss Forbush, clad in white,
with q plaid sash, black waist with red
lace, and red and white covering. It
was typical Swiss costume, and as
she sang that lovely song, it seemed
as if the entire Swiss popu alton, at
the foot of the AL pine and Jurassic
chains, were about to join IN the chorus,
and mountain and valley we're re-
echoing those notes back. It was not
an applause that greeted the rendi-
tion-it was better, an encore, in re-
spouse to which, the lady sang, "Oh,
it was Gay, Night and Day." Miss
Carrothers, accompanist.
"Sunny Italy" with it's seldom
clouded sky, it's hot-blooded popula-
ton, it's banditti and It's vendetta, was
represented by grand chorus, with
Mesdames Ward, johnson and Nc
MILAN, and Misses Riheldaffer, Anna
Mccarthy and Fannie Rowe, as the
fair daughters of that cline, standing
in the foreground. Their costumes
we're true Italian, short skirts and
white waists with velvet jackets, hair
hung loosely over the shoulders, and
partly covered with the sun shade.
All six wore aprons. Anna McCarthy's
gown was particularly lovely, beaded
hangings being promiscuoasly scat
tered over it. Their song 20 Italia,
Italia" was plaintively and appealing
ly rendered.
France with it's beau monde,
it's beau esprits, and it's bella
femimo with beaun yeur, was also
dealt with by the entire chorus, al
though Misses Ferris, Huntington,
Persons, Brooks, Carrothers and Bald
win, in black skirts, red sacques, red
sash and the triangular hat over heads
from which hair hung loose, we're the
true representatives. The song was
that of war, "Now the Roll of the
Lively Drum" of course, and was
rendered in truly patriotic style.
Miss Forbush gave a Norwegian
piano solo, and Miss Persons vocal
selection, after which came Spanish
National Hymn, by Misses Forbush
and:: Anna McCarthy,and J. F. Rogers
and Clyde Darling. The rendition
was loudly applauded.
The hit of the evening was by give
Little Maids From School Are We,
decide de-e-ew Misses Carrothers,
Ferris, Huntington, Anna Mccarthy
and Inez Baldwin, all in true Japan
csc costumes, the former in blue with
light sash, the second in light
floral print with sash to match, the
third in yellow floral print with blue
sash, the fourth in light red floral,
and green and orange variations, while
the latter wore yellow floral print
gown with white sash. They appeared
in all the timidity of Japanese maid
ems, hair dressed a la japanese, anc
fans waving ditto. Swinging In Thu
Nest With My Darling" was their in
depreciation, and SO successful was
their work that they were compelled
to respond to an encore. Mrs. John
son, accompanist.
Hettie Persons made typical Rus
sian representative. A fine Russian
shawl thrown over her shoulder, with
single wind at the waist, short blacl
skirt and Russian slippers, perfec
costume, and in it she sang Russian
National Hymn so sweetly as tt
bring down the house. Miss Carroth
ers, accompanist.
The finale was American, intensely
and periodically American. The grane
chorus Of thirty voices threw all of it
