Miss wilkins Pupils Recital.

The entertainment at the Athen3um
Hall Friday afternoon by the first grade
pupils of Miss Lottie Wilkins was ex-
edingly interesting. A large au-
dience was in attendance and the
little folks were loudly appIauded for
their work.
The programme consisted of May
Festival" and a Comic Wedding,
with an interlude between, and 1t is
difficult to say which was the most en-
ioyable. Little Miss Glare O'Neal had
the pincipal part in the Festival pre-
sentation, and she acted the Queen
admirably. Around her were gathered
maids of honor, hera.ds, the queen 8
guard, arch bearers, pages, etc. The
sword drill by the sixteen little girls of
the Queens guard was admirable and
called forth loud applau The little
girls were dressed in white suits and
helmets and presented very pretty
picture as they marched and flashed
their swords. Norwood Cant, as cap
tain OF the guards, received much praise
for his clever handling of the guard.
Afterwards, in the interlrde, he sang
1.-THE Holy City" beautifully, and was
encored.
also one of the main features, the little
folks handling their wreaths in sur
prisingly graceful manner.
The elves. butterflies and toadstools
were also quite attractive.
Following the festival came the inter
lude, which included songs, recitations,
etc. Master James Shields scored
big hit with his toncal song, "I'll Be
O. al g. 10
in full dress suit. and with a high
silk hat and walk ing cane he was quite
swagger He put much business into
his song, which added to its effective
ness greatly.
The Comic Wedding was put on
by the tiny children of the class, and
they did remarkably well. Minnie
Bell Cakes was the bride and Eugene
Voss was the bridegroom. The
ushers were dressed IN full dress suits.
The maids of honor and brides maids,
flower girls and pages presented a
decidedly pretty picture Ill the bright
costumes. Robert Shields acted the
part of the Episcopl minister, one
might say to projection at least
most cleverly. Six little boys, dressed
as Episcopal choristers, sang the
Lohengrln wedding march. The we'd
ding was vociferously applauded.
Miss wilkins certainly deserves
great credit for the admirable results
her training achieve. 1t was one OF
the most delightful little entertain
ments ever given at the Athenaum.
