The Sisters, mcnt.

If there is one thing more than an
other for which the Good Sisters of
Charity are provcrbially renowned, it
is for the thoroughncss of their work,
whether it be in deeds of charity or
laying broad and deep the foundation
for a thorough education of childhood
in parochial schools. The audience
present in Olympia Theater, Monday
night, were not therefore surprised at
the proficiency displayed by the classes
of Providence Academy, nor the beau
tiful surroundings and embellishments
to the exercises which only the ex-
quisite taste of womanhood could &C.

The musical part OF the programme
was of high order, and the Misses +.
and |. Chambers, Miss Curtin, Miss
johnson, Miss Connolly, Miss Nosch-
ka and others, displayed the careful
and artistic training of masters of this
delightful accomplishment.
The phantom Queens" n caprice
in one act, called forth considerable
talent in Evolutionary effort. The
object was to show, by the unhappy
lives and occasional tragic incidents
drawn from history that happiness

The amusing farce of "A Precious
Pickle" was well rendered by Misses
l. Chambers, Shields, Sullivan, Cur
tin, johnson, McReavy, Hutchinson,
Fusennegger and Patnude.
The exhibition closed with the
beautiful cantata of "Fairies of the
Seasons" in which all the little and
larger misses took part. The Queen,
Miss Johnson, was attended by Misses
Scully, Farrell, Wallace and Haley !;
while score of the little girls repre-
scented Spring, like number of larger
growth Summer, and still more adj
vanced Autumn, while the young
misses sang the delights of Winter,
They were arrayed in white, with an
intermingling of colors that aptly rep
resented each season. The final song
of the Fairies,"" Good Night" closed
an exhibition that was as charming
and unique rs youth and beauty and
thorough training could make it.
Many people on leaving the theater,
declared that it was the best school
exhibition they had ever attended, and
in the absence of an expression of the
slightest adverse opinion, with all the
really meritorious exhibitions which
have preceded it, we must accord all
connected with it a very high place on
the roll of honor.

term we're held at Providence Academy
at l 30 Wednesday afternoon, at
which graduation honors were con-
ferred upon Misses Florence NJ. Curtin
and Ida A. Chambers and certificates
of proficiency were awarded Miss
