'.For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass so fresh and sweet;
For song Of bird and hum Of bee;
For all things fair we hear and see,

at the Grange, and, l think, every heart
must have felt a throb Of gratitude and
pride as the little white-robed human
flowers, and the roses, white and red, we're
mingled with them in most artistic fashion.
Flora, the Goddess of Flowers, presided on
this occasion, and to her an altar had been
raised, at the back Of che stage, upon which
roses were sacrificed in reckless fashion upS
til all the air was filled with their sweet
incense. There were other beautiful flowers.
but the rose is always the queen. Miss
Alice Gibbs, who is the Flora of the Grange,
made a lovely little address Of welcome inI
graceful fashion. The program began with
a tableau--s Evening on the Farm, /" which
illustrated the old adage-1M Man s work is
from sun to sun, but woman's work is never
done.u Little four-year-old Mabel Budd
told as about her ride in trolley car, and
"when the car got of the track, she wanted
her nickle back. Queer Blossoms by
Irma Mullen, and "How the Sermon sound
ed to Baby" by Alice Windish were good
recitations for such little people. A piano
duet "The Sleighride, by Lizzie and Ma
bel Clement was we'll played. The Trials
Of Schoolmaster," by Hazel Day and JOS
eph Platt, was case where the boy came
out ahead, as usual. "The Duty of the
Strong was exceliently recited, by Yirginia'
Cloak. The clear tone Of her voice and her
distinct enunciation are especially to jbe
commended. "When Rebecca expects hes'
Beau" by Lizzie Leonard; when Pa says
Well See, by Maggie Myers, and 'sThe
Tree Partyn by Florence Low, were all
good. Heather Rose,'' piano solo, by
Anna Thomas gave pleasure to the audi
ence. Frances McGill and Rebecca Arm
bruster were the Two Flower Girls in a
tableau; the one carried flowers and the
other flour, which she sifted in reckless
fashion. s'I'm Going to tell my Ma on
YOU was sweetly sung by Maggie Gibbs.
Leo Carter as Mr.. Doctoru was addressed
By Addie Clement, very little Girl who
had taken her doll to him to be treated;
she did all the talking, and did it we'll.
ssThe Critic, by Rae Shuster, and The
Ladies Aid Society," by Marion Budd, were
both good Rotations Choosing Trades"
by eight boys was exceedingly we'll given.
''Snow-bellsn was a pretty piano duet, by
Anna Thomas, and Violet Anderson. A
dialogue the name of which is not on the
program. was given by Edna Bowers and
Laura Budd. Maggie Gibbs recited "The
Little Pickininny,n in character, in telling
way. ssNed's Best Friend" was little
dialogue between two little people, Isabella
Carter and Harold Heritage, who both did
we'll. A Holiday Two-step" was pretty
piana solo played by Violet Anderson; and
'.The Second Table, as recited by Samuel
Heritage, Jr., brought down the house. He
spoke in clear distinct tone, and could be
heard everywhere without difficulty. "The
Old and the Newt was a little scene in
which Margaretta Low, and Lizzie and
Mabel Clement bore tie parts They all did
we'll, but thought Mabel Clement showed
exceptional dramatic ability for so young
a girl. Two piano duets were played dur
ing the evening by the Misses May and
Alice Gibbs. The program being ended,
ice cream and cake were literally served to
all present. and a good social time finished
most enjoyable evening.
