THE SNOW CAP SISTERS.

The sdsmaatine secrecy and seclusion which hal shrouded the Snow Cap Sis ters for the past fortnight and had kept the community in fever of wonder and speculation was broken last Monday evening at Town Hall The suspense had been something fierce conse- ausntly the community at large suffers & deep sense of relief now that the thing has come and gone and everybody has escaped uninjured. with the exception of few of the weaker in the audience who could not withstand the nervous shock but who are now considered out of danger.
 The hall was crowded and was hotter than the regions of the uncomfortable. An effort WAS made to open the windows but it was subsequently abandoned, the inference being that it would be hazard ous to subject the audience to such an innovation. especially ss it was in such state of suppressed excitement
 An overture was rendered by Mrs F. H. Lee and W. H. Camp, after which the curtain rose and the little folks, un. der direction of Mrs Josephine NJ Root, gave sn entertainment which rivsled that of their elders They were taste fully costumed and their graceful, pleas ing manners, prompt action and reten- tive memories speak volumes for the perseverance. patience and discipline of their devoted teacher. The Spider and the Fly was beautifully rendered by lit. tie Misses Bessie Fitzgerald. Minnie Caldwell, Katie O'Brien and Edith LAn- don; as was also the Spanish Doll Dance by Misses Fitzgerald and Landon with Bertha Wellner as s nice, big doll. The Days of the Week were each represent ed by the following little girls, reciting short poems appropriate for the day they represented, beginning with Mon day and ending Sunday. respectively. as follows: Helen Pease, Katherine Abbe, Florence Hayden. May Lorrsin, Helen Hsnlon, Helen Rhoades and Emma Kegler. Swing Cradle was produced by the girls in the days of the week with the addition of Esther Bradley and tho Thanksgiving recitation was given by all, including May Howe The Kit tie, the Spaniel and Master Bobby was pretty little farce by Misses Helen Hanlon, Emma Kegler and Master John Bartram. The Christmas recitation WAS rendered by the entire company of little folks.
 The curtain arose and the Snow Cap Sisters. decked in gorgeous array, filed in, producing a profound sensation with their grotesque appearance and various and varigated lImps, lei by their mother, Mrs Edward s. Pease. Her children were represented by the following ladies: Mrs J. c Root Miss Ella Hall, Mrs ". H. Camp. Mrs J. E. Bierce, Mrs F. Hitchcock, Mrs O. W. Camp, Miss Coon, Mrs A. F. Rood, Mrs J. G. Beckley, Mrs Chas. Moore. Mrs E. E. BArtrsm, followed in the rear by their colored servant Cornish Hitchcock wheeling their late departed sister in E baby carriage. Each daughter was gift ed with special talent which was ably described by their mother who intro duced them to the audience in turn, with the exception of the twins. Louirs and Louesa, who were ipseperAble. Want of space forbids us to reproduce their individual qualifications; suffice ii to say they were greatly enjoyed by the audience which they csptivated and held spellbound. Dr Foote's singing was also . pleasing feature.
