There was a large attendance at MISS
Belle Waldens weekly dancing class on
Monday evening Misses Lucy Clarke.
Edna weymouth and Irene Settle ex-
ecuted gracefully several very pretty
fancy dances, and, together with Miss
Lily Wise. were heartily encored. These
little ladies rank among the most grace
full OF Richmond's Juvenile dancers, ana
never displayed their skill In the Terp-
sichorean art to greater advantage than
on this occasion. An erroneous impress
sion seems to have been given to the
effect that Miss Walden's Church Hill
class has closed for the summer sea-
son. but such Is not the case. Inc class
will continue TO meet as usuai uhlil
June 9Th, and due notice as TO the date
OF the final soiree will be given.
TEat much Of the hard work incident
10 the Memorial Bazaar was done by
residents Of Church I'LL is conceded, and
that the work was admirably done ana
rightly appreciated is attested by the
fact that the Georgia booth, IN which
very nearly all Church Hill was deeply
interested, cleared over 5000. The inter-
est has not ended with the fair. Even
the very tiniest Of the children seem 10
be imbued with the spirit Of the thing as
a very simple but very quaint and charrn-
ing entertainment given at the residence
of Mrs. McDonorgh, east Grace, demon
strates Five little madens, the eldest
having reached the mature age Of five
wears. conceived the idea Of entertaining
some Of their playmates and friends
the cost for the pleasures offered being
lone cent for two" They cleared ninety
eight cents. representing forty-nine
guests. so II Will be seen that 1t was
eminently successful. They announced
through Miss Georgia McDonough, one
of their number, that the proceeds OF
their entertainment would go towards
buying "the soldier TO go on TOP OF t.e
Libby Hill monument" THOSE giving the
entertainment were Misses georgia Nc
Donougi, Ruth Cunningham, Jennie NC
Donough, Mintie Davis and Bessie Mann.
On Friday evening the Cleaners OF
Venable-street Baptist church gave an ex-
ceedingly ENJOYABLE entertainment, the
proceeds of which are to be devoted 10
replacing the church window recently
broken. REGULATIONS entitled Tine Last
Hymn" "Biddy In The Police Court,
and Larry O'Lee" were admirably rem
dered by Misses BERTHE Farrar and Lily
and Allie Miller. respectively. one OF
the most attractive features of the even
ing was the singing by little Miss Lillian
Edgar Of a song entitled kissing Papa
Through the Telephone" She also danced
in connection with the song a heel and
toe polka, for her graceful execution or
which the little girl was loudly and re-
peatedly encored. Two charades were
participated In admirably by Messrs. john
Gill Philip Goodwin, Robert Parish, Rich
ard Wills. Misses Goode, Buchanan,
Hawkes.. Hall. Mondy, Parish and Flour
noy. A duet and quartette were charm
ingly rendered by Messrs. Cunningham
and Talbot. and Messrs. Montgomery
Jeter and Taliaferro. The pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Dill. supplemented the entertainment
by a bright little speech, which was en-
joyed by al present over seventy dol
lars was netted, so that the broken win
dow is in fair way to be replaced.
The programme for Wednesday, Oak
wood Memorial day, has already appeared
in the columns Of The Times. AprOpOs
OF Oakwood Memorial, II may not be out
OF order to state that I'm his address de-
livered before the Hollywood Memorial
Association Dn Wednesday night, Mr..
Smith omitted to mention the fact that
the lakewood Memorial Association are
very deeply concerned i'm the erection Of
much OF the work incident to the further
ing Of that object has been done by them.
Mr.. Smiths assumption that the erection
of the monument rested wholly with the
Hollywood Memorial Association was,
therefore, incorrect. 1t is an object which
has commanded the joint interest and
effort Of both the Hollywood and Oak
wood Associations.
The ladies OF the Third Presbyterian
church, who were associated with the
Georgia booth last week, presented their
pastor. Rev. Or. Cannon, with a beauti-
full oil painting, tastefully framed, as a
token OF their esteem and appreciation.
The painting represents a large cluster OF
variously and richly colored pansies upon
a background, harmonizing exquisitey
with their pretty tints. DR.. Cannon. in
a conversation with the writer, expressed
with great warmth and feeling both his
appreciation of the gift and his yet deeper
regard for the thought and interest Of the
donors.
somewhat hasty survey OF the IN
terror Of the Third Presbyterian church,
by the way, reveals the happy result Of
well directed effort on the part Of pastor
and people. The old dark straight-backed
pews are gone, and in their stead are
bflgnl circular OAK ptWSs possessing the
joint virtues OF beauty and comfort. The
floor Is covered with a rich soft shade
Of carpet, harmonizing in color with the
pews. The stained glass windows soften
the light from without, and all together
the old church in its new garb Is an ex-
ceedingly attractive one.
The new choir screen OF a rich green
tint is the generous gift OF Mr.. +. L. Nc
Cller, Of the Telephone Company. while
the handsome new Bible, hymn book and
altar cloth were donated b. the Young
Ladies' Aid Society OF the church. The
Little Cleaners" always to the front,
are represented in the beautiful new Com
munion table, collection plates and altar
chairs. The Ladies' Aid Society contri-
buted the carpet, which is one Of the
most beautiful to be seen in a Richmond
church. on last Sunday the congregation
worshipped in the building for the first
time since the improvements were made.
and at both night and morning services
the numbers were larger than ever in
the churchs history; that is. for the
regular Sunday services To-day at $50
a young peoples meeting will be held
which il is probable will be largely at
tended.
