to recall which was the best number

tet performance was headliner, as the
theatrical writer's say. and the Pier
rettes. among whom We're Miss Page
Avlett Royall. Miss Lillian Binford
Miss Nora Leary and Miss Elsie Lind
sey. were fascinating In their dance
role. No DETER, daintlcr mattresses
could administer to mortal cravings
than the young ladies' who appeared
in smart FRITZ scheff frocks. and
were identified as Misses Helen Tanner
Anita cussen. Daisy BoykIn Rebecca
Walker. Nora Randolph, Brent witt

The tableaux and pictures presented
at the fete on Thursday and Friday
evenings were arranged and staged by
Miss Adele Williams and Miss Helen
Christian, to whom is due In each in

their success.
Miss Williams's skill and knowl-
edge were of the greatest advantage to
the chairman of the entertainment
committee. and the reproductions OF
celebrated pictures by her were wonder
full in accuracy and beauty of detail.
Miss Christians opportunities through
travel abroad and her knowledge OF
art came into full play on Friday
evening, when the pictures displayed

The especially clever performance Of
Miss Sherrard Wilcox, in the role OF

admirable and cleverly devised hit.
