essays, Rotations, a debate, inter.
spersed with good music. The
humorous recitation of Miss Jessie
Cardwel was splendid, and SO
heartily did the audience applaud
that she WAS obliged to give an Ell.
core "Mammy's Little Baby-boy.'
The debate certainly proved that
women can debate. Both sides Of
the lively question were forcibly and
logically presented. The "Songs Of
Seven" by Jean Ingelow, was an
interesting feature of the program.
This consisted ofrecitations by seven
young ladies, each Of whom did her
part well. There was also an IN.
terestlng sketch of Jean Ingelov read.
The music kindly furnished by the
orchestra was grand and inspiring and
won hearty applause. The songs by
the chorus showed considerable
musical talent in the society. The
audience was held spell.bound by
Prof. Newman's violin solo, which
cannot be too highly praised This
entertainment, We believe, is superior
to any previous one Of the Bainonian
Society, and was truly credit to
Maryville College.
