This beau. tiful entertainment was a departure in our city. and in tone touched on the beautiful social functions of the great cities. where 1t is usual for the hosts and hostesses to secure for the pleas. ure of their guests the prominent art fists who are available. Montgomery is fortunate in that for such occasions such gifted women as Miss Lovelace and Miss Wolff are In our midst.
