Miss McNair's RecitaI.

The Recital by Miss Jessie McNair
on Monday evening was attended by a
large and cultured audience. Miss
McNair, reader, was assisted by Miss
Rightor, vocalist, and Miss Hunt, vio-
linist, and together this brilliant trio
entertained and delighted one of the
most fastidiouS and discriminating au
diences to be found in the State.
Misses Rightor and Hunt lent charm
to the occasion by their most excellent
renditions; but reserved for Miss Nc
Nair were the most enthusiastic APP
plause, encores and encomiums of
praise. The heart of neither man nor
woman seemed proof against her
''sweet, seductive charms" an at the
close of the evening all clearly under
stood how the name of this gifted
young girl has become a synonym "up
North for all that is eloquent and at
tractive in the field of elocution.
"Down South" her praises shall be
sung more warmly still, and may no
untoward fate shadow the brilliancy
of the future 50 rosily dawning for
this one of Brookhaven's most gifted
daughters.

to realize that it is something more
than the play of children.
1t is a case of perverted affection, as

noted in medical books or by science
anywhere. The two girls are plainly
and insanely infatuated with each otn-

by purity, although they maze use OF
