was. She paid many compliments to
the Union soldier, but reached her
climax when sne boldly and truthfully
asserted that the greatest soldier
America ever produced was that grand
old hero, Robert +. Lee.
Miss Laura Ireland, one of the girls a
Lexington audience will always delight
to honor, favored the audience with q
violin solo. She seemed a little nervous
at first, but soon warmed up to her
work, and played in a very creditable
manner. The selection, "Trovatore
Fantasia" was a difficult one, requiring
quick lingering and sometimes delicate
touch with the bow, but she was equal
to the occasion, and when she retired
the enthusiastic audience stOrmed until
she came back and favored them with
another selection.

a recitation, "Archie Dean" We have
heard this recitation repeatedly. but
Miss Burrows made it prettler than We
had heretofore thought it was. Her
voice was clear and distinct, her few
gestures were natural, and her acting
seemed not to be acting, but promptings
of her over-wrought feelings. She
looked like an ideal picture Of girl in
love. When she retired there was q
perfect storm Of applause. She ap-
peared, made q bow, and retired again.
The audience continued to applaud, and
for the next three minutes it appeared
to be contest of endurance. The stage
carpenters were behind the curtains
hammering, preparing for the next
piece, while the audience in front of the
curtain seemed determined to force an
encore. Iron and steel got the advan-
tage of flesh and blood, and the encore
did not occur.
"Pansy Chorus" by Misses Keller,
Sydnor, Ware. Smith, Ladd, Lands.
Burrows and Harrison, was something
new. When the curtain was raised there
was a canvas picture Of number Of
large pansies, standing in field of rye.
Suddenly the heart Of one flower disap-
peared, and young lady s face appeared
in the opening. She sang a song, and
each flower produced q lady face, and
all join in the chorus. Each flower
sang song, and all join in the choruses.
The scene was a pretty one, and the
singing was splendid. Again the
audience made a heroic but unsuccessful
attempt at an encore.
Miss Flossie Charles came next. with
an essay, Footprints" She read slowly
and distinctly, as though she wanted
the audience to know what she had to
say. Her essay was we'll written,
abOunding in good ideas, tersely and
strongly expressed.
Miss Elma Burrows favored the
audience with piano solo, "Valse A
Flat" in which she showed great skill.
Her touch was rapid and positive.
showing familiarity with the piece. and
perfect control over the tones Of the
instrument. She is new pupil, but
plays like an old one.
Miss Allene Ware was the next on the
program, and her recitation, The Con-
fessional," was splendid selection.
We are glad to say that she brought out
all there was in it. Her every word and
act was exactly according to our idea of
natural elocution. We don't see how
she can make any improvement Oh her
effort of last Monday night.
Vocal solo. "Nymphs and Fauns,'
was rendered by Miss Bessie Landis in
charming manner. She has way of
captivating everybody, whether at work
or at play, and when she tries her win
some ways at singing she wins the
approval Of the audience and the hearts
of her schOOlmates. Her voice, though
not strong, is clear and musical.
1.-The Crescent was the name of the
college paper, edited and read by Miss
Veda Cunningham. We were not into
the merits of some of the jokes, but
from the futtering of the birds we know
that the shots hit hard somewhere,
Some of the articles showed a bit OF
keen sarcasm; some were tinged with
poetry, and, all combined, they made q
very creditable college paper. 1t was
read little too rapidly.
The last number on the program was
an operetta, by Misses Keller. Sydnor
Charles. Bayless, Cunningham. Harri-
son, Smith, Burrows, Ware, Ferguson
Iandis and Hyde. 1t was burlesque
and while no one had enough to say Ol
do "tO make q reputation, all did well
The hungry girl would certainly have
made herself sick eating everything in
} sight il the play had continued much
longer. The educated but green
school teacher was effectively portrayed
and was brought in sharp contrast will
the shrewd woman of the day who
"practiced" the girls in their parts
The weather was delightful, the opera
house was not too hot nor too cold, and
all things combined to make the evening
most pleasant one. William Jewel
Society made a complete success of theil
entertainment.
