Though the attendance was some
what smaller than is customary, still
opportunities for society chit chat
were greater, and the enjoyment of
the occasion was increased rather
than diminished by Old Prob.'s in

The programme, under the direc.
ton of Mrs. q. G. Alexander and
Miss May E. Baldwin, made har-
monious beginning through a pretty
piano solo by Miss Grace Dickey.
Mr.. A. Hooking then read very
clearly and attractively a humorous
piece entitled 1.-The Story of Little
Moses"
No. 3 was a reading and shadow
pictures of "The Tar Baby" from
Uncle Remus. Mr.. G. II. Dickey cast
the shade of Brer Rabbit, W. o.
Aiken "lay low" as Brer Fox, and
Sam. Baldwin said nuthin," but
impersonated the "Tar Baby" with
great success.
A Scotch song was pleasingly rem
dered by Mrs. T. L. Gulick, and a
quartet composed of Messrs. Dickey,
Nicoll, Lindsey and Charles Baldwin
amused the audience with a negro
melody. The sixth event on the list
was reading and tableax of James
Russell Lowell's "Zekle's Courtship,"
in which Mrs. Beckwith read the
poem, and Mrs. G. d. Loveland, Miss
Irene Stiles and Mr.. f. w. Hardy |
took the parts in the three-act tab
leau. When the curtain was first |
drawn, amid the flash and smoke of |
red light, verdant Zekle was revealed
peering longingly through the win
dow at pretty Hulda pairing apples.
The second scene showed ZekO
uneasy as to his feet and hands, cast
ing sleeps eyes at his rosy sweet
heart who, apparently unconscious
of his presence, was busy with the
pan of fruit. Number three exhibits

The finale of the programme was a
,iano solo by Miss Lottie Alexander,
which exhibited so much artistic
inish and musical feeling as to de-
nand repetition of her playing in
he guise of another pleasing piece. !
Then refreshments were served,
which sandwiches con-
aiming "real ham," and ice.cream
eserve agreeable mention.
