pleasantly. The parents and friends
of the children assembled in 81. Berch.
mans Hall at two O'Clock. The stage
was appropriately decorated, General
Washington's picture surrounded with
flowers and flags with February 20,
1882. in silver text. The entire school
singing sStar Spangled Banner was
a suitable opening number We
missed the orchestra whose music was
always such treat, but the inspira-
tion OF every instrument was the gift
ed sister Emanuel, who has been all
ing for several months. We trust she
will soon recover and that again the
young students of music will be guild
ed by her genius into the sweet harm

tuated the lessons taught by that in
comparable man and patriot. 1t is
time that our country should stop
and bark back to those sturdy princi-
pies of integrity and fortitude which
made our first President the admired
Of all the world. 1t is not so much

that interest the audience as the inn

we judge is an excellent musician and
absolute plays the piano. so easy
and graceful is her technique. One
young girl who has only been taking
lessons four months, played very &C.
ceptably o selection requiring consid-
cradle study in expression. One can
not mention all the charming very
young people. So we will avoid any
names this time. But the entire
program was very interesting and we'll
rendered. Among the guests present
was a gentleman who has been all
over this old world of ours, into every
place of especial interest many times.
No one present enjoyed the children s |
entertainment more thoroughly, appre-
ciating the sweet voices and graceful
manners. The self praise of the
charming young lassies, SO soon to |
take their place as important factors
in social life. A number of beautiful |
prizes were awarded for excellences in
various departments. They were
presented to the happy recipients with
some kind and merry thought by the
we'll beloved FatherFrohn. New Iberia
