curtain arose on a veranda scene,
with tables and chairs 10, readiness,
and five walters In the background.
DR.. O'Donnell then entered and re-
ceived his guests. The opening
chorus, Bohemia" was by the entire
company, and was decided hit.
The program included II numbers
and was varied md interesting. The
ladies who sang revealed to Abilene
some charming voices and they gave
an artistic touch to all their offerings.
The strong soprano OF Mrs. volz was
used with splendid effect and her
luet with Mr.. Leach was one Of the
svening's most enjoyable features.
