was generously applaudcd A fancy
dance 10y Marie Lindsey, OF Tacoma,
and n skirt dance hy Ethel Young. of
the same city, were plcasingly and ar
ti>tically rendered.
Miss Addie Libby, who is ALWAYS a
favorite. was received when she ap-
pcarcd on the stage with rounds of
applause, and she very cleverly de-
lighted the audience with vocal solo,
the Arrow Song" She was en-
cored, and was the recipient of several
beautiful bouquets. The "Fairy
Nalsettc" of Cecil Powell, of Tacoma,
was very good, and she was followed
by the quartette in the Unfurling of
the Flag" Miss Myrah Taynton, I'M
der whose direction the dancing fca-
lures were held, appeared IN a Min
uct," in which she was vertically the
poetry OF motion. A pretty feature of
the evenings entertainment was the
Flower Quarrel" presented by Miss
Powell, rs America, and Louise Lind
slcy, rs Cuba, both ladies being dressed
appropriately. The quartctte, in
Good Night" closed the entertain
ment.
Miss Gertrude Jenkins was every
inch queen. Her first appearance
on the stage was roundly applauded,
and when she took her seat upon the
throne her digniiied air and the ele-
gance OF her coronation robes caused
universal cdmiration. Her gown was
of white satin, made in princess style,
trimmed with white chiffon and lined
with taileta. The skirt was made with
the usual court train, and white gloves
with elbow sleeves, and white slippers
completed the elegant costume. Miss
Jenkins ornaments were pearls and
diamonds.
Misses Mary Hayes and Cora Lee
were also elegantly attired, the form
er's gown being of white MORE velour,
with bodice of white brocadcd
chiffon, over white satin, and she car
ried white chrsyanthcmums. Miss
Lees gown was of Nile green satin,
trimmed with white velvet and satin,
and she wore black gloves and slip
pers. Miss Lee carried pink chrysan-
thcmums.
Among the other rich costumes was
that of Miss Addie Libby. Miss Lib
by's gown was of Nile green silk,
trimmed with NOUS de sole, with
dotted overdress, and shoulder gloves.
She wore green slippers. and her orna
ments was necklace OF pearls.
There were many other handsome
costumes worn, but space precludes 4
description of all.
Thursday night Wings company of
amateur dramatists, of Seattle, occu-
pied the boards in couple of one.act
comedy sketches, a Picture" and A
Proposal Under Difficulties" The
performance was fairly good, although
some of the performers left their au-
dience to judge by their acts rather
than the lines of the plot they were
endeavoring to present, from the al
most inaudible tones of voice in which
they were rendered. This WAS, how
ever, in some degree compensated for
by the very clever efforts of Miss Spray,
the leading lady. who manifested con-
siderable talent. At the conclusion of
the performance, the stage was cleared
and short dance was given in honor
of our Seattle visitors.
The Baby show on the afternoon of
Wednesday, deserves to be spelled
with big b. 1t was to many the
most interesting feature of the car
nival. Fifty-one little "darlings"
were entered for competition, and for
an hour at least, Queen Gertrude's
reign was ended, for the tiny manarchs
on the stage engrossed every thought.
1t was matter of general remarks
that the little folks seemed to realize
that they were on their good behavior,
not cry or word of complaint was
heard from them for the first hour,
and it was only when delighted
public and dOting mothers prolonged
the ordeal beyond reason that the
wee specimens of American liberty
exercised their privilege of protest.
At one time dozen or more sprites
perambulated the stage to the great
amusement of the audience and
delight of indulgent mamas.
The babies entered were arranged in
three classes, Class A being children
of one year and under; Glass b, from
one to two and half, and Glass C,
from two and a half to four. Then
the judges who were supposed to be
ineog, but were known to everyone in
the house, made the rounds, book in
hand, and noted the charms of every
child. 1t was no wonder they were
q considerable time in making the
various choices, as the children as IA
whole were a fine looking collection,

among them. In Class A were entered

ris, A. ID. S. Rogers, Tom Plamondon,
