lnent, which was a representation of the
great struggle between John Knox, the
Protestant, and the Catholic Mary
Stuart, Queen of Scots.

presentation by Mrs. II. Il. Monroe, and
her sister. Mrs. Della i. Mayors was

H~ighlanders in kits, the court ladies in
rich gowns, the courtiers in knee
brooches and wigs, and the Purltans in
