Tableau, Little Brooches, which was represented by little two year old David Merwin, standing on chair, in an attitude showing to the best ad- vantage his first pants.
 The vocal solos by Mrs. Merwin, as sisted by Mir. Piper and accompanied on the organ by Mrs. Piper. were a treat to the music lovers.
 The medley by five little children won hearty applause, which though rather difficult for such little folks, was perfectly rendered in clear sweet tones.
 The several tableux were made es- pecially pretty by the use of red tab leau lights, and the three dainty little fiaxen haired ladies'" Minnie Piper, Leta Neat and Ruth Merwin, who figured in most of them, sustained their parts perfectly.
 The Farce, ''Viola's Answer,' was amusing from beginning to end, the Dutch character sustained by Clifford Neat, the Irish character by Marvin Piper, and the Farm Boy by Bruce Piper, being so well carried out as to keep the audience in continual laughter.
 Mir. Wood, the genial postmaster and store keeper of Craig. was of great assistance in carrying out the program, and won for himself many congratulations as "Uncle Moses, '" which character. with the aid of burnt cork and curling irons, he most sue cessfully sustained.
 The dialogue. "A Trip to Mauro, '" by Miss Addie Waterson, Mir. Wood, and Marvin Piper, brought down the house." it being extremely humorous and each person so we'll adapted to the character he sustained.
 The closing tableau, Nearer My God To Thee, '' was beautiful. It was persohated by Miss Addie Waterman, who, with her long golden hair falling over her shoulders, made a pretty pie ture.
 Under the ceiling had been fixed a pulley and rope which was brought down and arranged under the drapery of Miss Waterman, and just as the effective white light was thrown on, some one behind the scene sang in a low sweet voice the beautiful hymn, "Nearer My God To Thee" while a concealed person operated the rope and pulley which caused the person ated angel to slowly raise heavenward and with rapt cOuntenance. uplifted eyes, and arms out spread in graceful gesture, went out in darkness, leaving upon the audience an impression of a beautiful picture.
 Mrs. Piper deserves many congratu- lations for the excellent training of her pupils, who, throughout the pro- gram showed the careful manner in which they had been trained, and one ndu OhlN tO ODStIht tue tOuuuCb Ol the children toward their teacher to know she is as dearly loved by them as she is higly esteemed by their pa rents.
 At the conclusion of the proragm delicious refreshments were served.
 The gentlemen secured their part ners for supper in an unusual and amusing manner. All the ladies present went into an adjoining room and concealing their faces with masks, appeared one at a time at an opening in the curtain and the gentlemen guessed by the eyes who the lady was, the one making the correct guess claiming her for his partner.
 After all the ladies were thus dis posed of, an hour of conversation and general merriment passed, and it was one o'clock before any one noticed the time.
 The people then departed, each one engaged in talking of the grand sue cess of the entertainment.
