The aforementioned event was much
appreciated by the audience and it was
regretted that Miss Ward, the teacher
who had trained the girls, was too i'll
| to be present and witness the skillful
marching of her pupils. Eighteen
girls, six i'll red six in white and six
| in blue, marched, counter-marched and
| formed all sorts of figures to the strains
of patriotic music on the piano.
