A piano duet was played by Misses Beardsley and Reiter, a violin solo by Master Reuben Whipple, and last but not least, a solo was rem dered by Mrs Randolph Bradley of Bedding entitled, "The Four Leaved Clover," which was enthusiastically encored, but Mrs Bradley evidently "never repeats" The handsome sum of S51 was realized from the entertain ment. MT French's home looked very attractive. The large lawn was elab- orately illuminated with Chinese lan- terms and the spacious house, with it's many lights and bright, prettily gown ed crowds, was a brilliant spectacle.
