MRS. JARLEY's FIGURES.
Another Account Of this Delightful

Sunday School Entertainment.
A representative of Mrs. Jarley's
wax works was given by the Brad
fordville Dramatic Club on Wednes-
day evening, the 18th u1t., for the ben
eft Of the Sunday school at Pine Hill,
the residence Of Hon. N. W. Eppes,
who kindly permitted the use of his
house and grounds for the occasion.
The stage was beautifully decorated,
and presented quite an attractive ap-
pearance. The performance was wit
messed by large and delighted audi
ence, who several times evinced their
appreciation by repeated applause. The
entertainment consisted of music, tab
leaux, recitations and Mistress Jarley's
wax works, and refreshments served
on the front lawn.
The program was as follows: Open
ing chorus, "'In the Starlight" by the
cub; Miss Grace Knapp evinced con-
siderable histriOnic ability in her re-
citation, "a WOman's Vengeance.
Song, MARY had little Lamb" by the
club; tableau, "An Old Mans Darling
and a Young Mans Slave" Mr.. Edward
Eppes then proceeded to harrow up
the feelings of the audience by a thrill
ing account of a duel between a ging-
ham dog and the calico cat; song,
''The Meerschaum Pipe" by the club;
tableaux, when none are by to Lis
ten;" recitation by Mr.. B. S. Knapp;

At the close of the performance, the
audience repaired to the lawn in front
and partOOk of refreshments, which
were served by the ladies Of the club in
their costumes. 1t was a beautiful
scene. The full moon shed her silver
beams athwart the grassy sward. From
the oVerhanging trees, many cOlored
lamps hung pendant, whose subdued
light formed beautiful contrast with
the rich green foliage of the oaks and
pines. A gentle breeze whispered
thrO' the tree tops, and the air was
soft and balmy. The members of the
club in their costumes mingled with
the visitors, producing a very fine
effect. The crowd broke up into
small parties and seated at the manGs
tables scattered here and there beneath
the trees, evidently enjoyed Lnem-
selves.
To the soft strains of musical in
struments in the hands of the visitors,
many a heart beat in merry time, and
no doubt desired to "trip the light fan
tastic tOe." It seemed almost like a
Midsummer Nights Dream"
All present expressed themselves
highly delighted with the whole af-
fair, and did not disperse until the
"wee, sma' hours" We had almost
omitted to mention the very fine effect
produced by Mrs. N. w. Eppes in mer
character of Mistress farley. The cos
tune was perfect in all it's details, and
her rendition of the part was all that
could be desired.
We have no doubt that If the com
pany could be induced to give an exhi-
bition in Tallahassee that it would be
literally patrOnized.
