occurred another pleasing entertain
ment by the young ladies of the East
Maui Seminary. 1t rsined of course
the proverbial fortune of festivi-
ties at this institution,--still the
occasion was honored by goodly
sized audience, who by their frequent
applause seemed to fully appreciate
the amusing speeches and quaint
performances of the old lady and her
numerous family, of whom poets of
nursery rhyme have so often sung.
Mother Goose, her very self, with
peaked hat and cane hobbled in
front of the green curtain and gave
a brief history OF some of her absent
children and mentioned that those of
her band who were present would
soon tell their varied stories in sha-
dow pictures, tableaux and song.
FIRST, the ghosts of Old Mother
Hubbard and her dog cast their
shades against the screen; and
most remarkable animal this brute
must have been, for his apparition
could elongate and shorten, expand
and contract at will. A band of chill
dren sang in delightful tune the his
tory of the episode. This canine
wrath made one of the hits of the
evening, and never wagged his tail.
Then came a series of admirably
arranged tableaux; Little Miss Muf-
felt beset with gigantic spiders; Red
Riding Hood, whose piercing and ma
tural scream when the wolf attempt
ed to seize her, pleased the audience
much, and last a mammoth pie be-
fore most royal mimic king and
queen. arrayed in gilt crowns and
purple robes. The blackbirds were
a dozen pretty children in black caps
who after bursting the tissue paper
crust, each in turn sang of some
event in that ancient story book.
After intermission and lunch came
the chief performance Of the evening
the cantata "Bo Peep"
Boy Blue is sent into exile for
using the deeds of Mistress Mary's
farm, an estate owned by Lady Lea,
as tail for his kite, and Lady Lea,
when Maying loses her engage
ment ring. These two events are
used as an excuse for many pretty
choruses and solos. A band of gayly |
dressed peasants choose Bo Peep |
and Boy Blue as queen and |
King of the May, and her i
majesty in pink and white |
With silver crook soon finds her con-
sort fast asleep on hay stack. The
queen next discovers the ring which
s returned by the royal pair to the
lad Lady Lea who out of gratitude
makes out new deeds of the farm for
Mistress Mary. All ends we'll in
merry dance around a May-pole
wonderfully decked with many a
'ibbon. The costumes were varied

were the most unique that
