character that is seldom presented by any fra
ter3al organization. The ladies who composed
the committee of arrangements and prepared the
programme entitled to great deal of praise
for their work, and they have reason to feel proud
OF the result. An overture, Tampa" was gwen
by Professor Yanke which was followed by, 1.-The
Legend OF the OrganB Builder" recited with great
deal of effect by T. l.. Hill; the Wednesday Morn
ing String Quintet rendered some delicious music
on mandolins, mandOla and lutte; Arthur Davis

very acceptable as 'Trilby." Miss Ethel Murphy

TO know who it that posed as Minerva in char
acterstic flowing and all the effects that served
TO make up the goddess. The wearer of the
tune made up exceedingly well, andafter the show
was over il ascertained that the character had
been assumed by Waiter Neat Brunt, member of
