Owing to the inclement weather the
performance given by Misses Wolcott
and Baldwin Saturday evening was
not as largely attended as might have
been had the evening been warmer. Those
who were out enjoyed the pleasures of
a good chat, after which they listened
to the sweet music rendered by Miss
Wolcott. Miss Baldwin was, as usual,
entertaining in her readings, and has
added much to the programme by CIV
ing an exhibit of club swinging.
The state superintendent of public in-
struction and Oscar j. Craig of the Mis-
soula university came in on Tuesdays
