they have become SO expert under the
efficient training Of Prof. and Mrs.
Buttrick.
The hall was beautifully decorated
to represent snow scene. A shower
OF faky white was suspended from
the ceiling In such way that the
room seemed overtaken by real
snow storm. Cedar trees, laden with
snow, were grouped naturally about
the hall, and from one OF the loftiest
a 'snow-boy" looked down upon the
children as they trooped to their
places. The May pole and the wintry
decorations suspended from the CEN

esqueness Of the scene. The Flag

line, opened the program. Led by
Morton Stern and Josephine Daniels.

Several OF the figures were exceed
ingly difficult, but were none the less
perfectly executed.
The ball figure and two.step fol-
lowed the march, In this the boys
formed themselves IN a line In the
center Of the room: four girls were
given snowballs of cotton, which they
threw AZ the line Of boys from the
four corners OF the room. After dane
ing few minutes together, at d given
signal, they changed partners until
all were tripping the jolly two-step.
Following this came the Berlin,
which was equally we'll done. Then
the little ones formed In line for the
Hlgland Fling, and led by Pearl

which was most surprising, and elicit.

shrill sounding whistles, the merry
troop OF little reyelers burst into the
room blowing their "squeakers,' ex.
ploding confetti bombs and throwing
"serpentines." while at the same mo

over their heads. It was real car.
