Mrs. H. w. Blodgett as the Queen oil
Fame, was graceful and queenly. Her
effective costume was of white silk with
royal purple satin accessories. She was
attended by Mrs. A, ]. Corriveau, most
becomingly gowned in Grecian costume
OF pink crepe lie chine, and Misses +. !.
Calbeck and c. A. Stiles also in Grecian
robes of pale blue and yellow respectively.
+. p. Perry as page to the queen was
richly attired in black velvet trimmed
with gold lace, and the rendering of his
part entities him to be quoted as "hand-
some is and "handsome does"
The May party who were dancing and
singing until Mother Goose appeared and
warned them of the Queens approach
was the opening feature of the pro-
gramme.
Mother Goose in her red and yellow
gown OF ancient style, with red cape
and pointed hat was living picture of
that friend of all the little ones. Her be.
nign and motherly presence and allec-
tionate manner as she moved about with
her little friends commended her to all, as
the person best deserving the laurel
crown.
Sappho was true representative of
the Greek maiden in a white robe with
girdle OF light blue and performed her
part most credtably.
Alexander Selkirk and Friday were
both well gotten up to represent their
parts and did themselves much credit in
their combined action.
Barbara Freitchie, appropriately at
tired as that noted old lady, rendered her
address in shaky voice and decrept
manner very true to life.
Samantha Allen with her carpet BAG
and bandbox was a clever personatior
Of Josiah's "pardner."
Ruth, the Moabitish cleaner, presented
a most pleasing picture as she stood beior,
the audience while Bringing in th
Sheaves' was sung by the quartetre be
hind the scenes.
