The Adelphian Literary Society Of z
A. SEMINARY held its second open session
at the college chapel last Saturday
night The sidewalks were covered with
ice. and the middle of the road WAS
rather bad waIkins; nevertheless, the
chapel WAS crowded with interested
friends and patrons of the school.
The program opened with IA prayer by
Rev. Mr. Banks. after which the presi-
dent of the society, Miss Fannie Sawyer,
read Il very well written address of well
come.
Miss Mary Banks gave a piano solo,
"Miuuet In B Flat by Y Scharwenki,
which was well executed. and heartily
applauded by the audience.
Miss Dora Reynolds read An Original
Story" about a burglar calling at the
house when there were only a few girls
to defend the home, and how they
defended it. 1t sounded just like some
of the martial deeds of girls. This crowd
WAS brave enough to shoot, which was a
strong point i'll their favor.
A vocal solo by Miss Margaret Ryland
WAS well executed. We do not think
this young lacy knows how we'll she can
sing. She only needs a little more
confiden~e.
The DUEL by Miss Annie Hooten,
was a blOOd-curdling affair. and we
thought Spain and the United States
were at it sure enough, until b eX-
planned that it was h cat and dog that

seIf-possessed. and made d good appear
ance on the stage.
The Lesson in Elegance by Misses
Mary Graves, Frances Sawyer, Mar
garet Ryland and Mary Banks was a
good 'take-off'' on the 100 We are
glad the lieutenant did not see his pros
pective bride after the Woman of the
World finished the toilet.
Miss Cornelia Ryland read a we'll
written essay, and read it we'll. She
intended the audience TO hear what she
had to say, and it did.
Misses Brunn aud Atkeison favored
the audience with a very pretty piano
piece full of melody.
Mr.. Banks introduced Miss Elizabeth
Aull, "a prospective pupil of the COL
lege." She was a little tot of about four
or i've years. Miss Elizabeth went to
the piano and played IN Hot Time in
Old Town" which brought Town the
house. She gave "A second selection,
but still the audience called for more.
Her third selection Vas Red, White
and Blue" Her performance WAS highly
appreciated.
The College Paper. read by Miss Mary
Lyons. was full OF ~"roasts, if We may
Judge from the effects upon the pupils.
or course AN outsider cannot appreciate
the hidden meaning of the thrusts, but
the girls enjoyed them very much.
Miss Margaret R> land again sang
very acceplsbly, her selection being
For All Eternity Her high notes
are clear aud pleasant, and our only
regret VAS that she didn't nave more Of
them.
Miss Estelle Shacklrford's violin solo
was splendid, aud was well received 10y
the audience.
The Mandolin Club closed the enter
tainmrnt with II good selection, and one
that would have called for an encore
had it been higher up on the pro-
graInme.
President Barks had announced that
at the close the audience would be per-
mitted to remain IA while, and all tie
young people and of the old ones
wanted to see somebody" Everyone
was delighted with the evenings enter
