benefit for Neighborhood House. The
representa- ton Of the Grecian festival wa:
set upon the lawn Of The Oaks. the
charming estate of Col Blount fronting
on r street, with its gateway opposite

tainer. the nature of her production ant
the worthiness of the benevolence drew
10 The Oaks for the occasion not only g
large number of spectators, but srea
representation from the families of thu
wealthy and socially prominent.
The little people of the wood. and some
Of the older ones, found benefactor IT
Charles Henry Butler. who contributed
refreshments for them after the perform
ance.

A. B. Tuttle Mrs. Walter S. Brinley anC
Mrs. Neeligh, assisted by the Misses

The entertainment was in many respect:
the most pretentiouS terpsichorean soc1a
event seen in Washington since the vogue
Of the revived Grecian dance.
Much praise is due all concerned in this
Greek festival. To Mrs. Barney, whose
conception it was. and to Mrs. Barber
and those who helped to adorn the face
of nature to just the right extent, and
not one whit too much.
Neighborhood House. which benefited
by this performance. is a lucky insttu
ton. indeed. to have all these beautiful
things gotten up in its behalf.
