standpoint, but from thai of science.

nothing closed to women either in Sci

professions.

as a general from his taking command
of the American army through these

the darkest Of the American Revolu-

The amateur theatricals came off at

auspices of the Kings Daughters. AT
the front end Of the hall where the
feet of merry dancers are wont to
tread, a stage was erected and sci
with appropriate scenery. A play
called the Register. and an operetta
named The Dress Rehearsal Were
given before an audience which filled
the hall. The last named was given
exclusively by the members Of the
fairer sex and the men and boys sim
ply weren't in it. The women said
the men would have spoiled it, and the
males declared the event would have
been far more successful had they
been in 1t. The plot of the Dress Re-
hearsal" is familiar to all. Those who
took part in the play were Misses
Jennie Kimball, Mab1e Cowles, Caddie
