PLAYLET FEATURED

Tn celebration of Christmas and the holidays which the school will enjoy [ the Sorosis Literary Society of the II igh School entertained q large num- Der of patrons and friends yesterday afternoon with an appropriate Christ !. mas program.
 : Every number was carefully sel- cftted and suggestive of Christmas. The participants all acquitted them selye sadmirably, and the program was one of the best ever heard in the High School Only the members Of the Sorosis Society took part in the program.
 The program consisted of two parts The first included six mus cal and literary numbers and the second a dialogue entitled "Six Cups of Cho- colate," rendered by six girls. The stage had an elaborate setting, which was arranged especially for the dia- logue. The scene was that of a col Dege girls room, with the cheerful effect of scfa pillows and varied col ored college pennants. The scene was also made pretty with holly ferns and cut flowers. The lights were used on the scene and at the center of the stage at the rear wall was an mprovised mantel and fire place, out of which came mellow glow. The mantel was hung with pennqnts and college pictures. On all sides of the room pictures asso- ciated with the room of college girl, adorned the setting.
 The dialogue, or playlet, was espec- ally good. The young ladies showed themselves familiar with the parts, and the characters of the different types of girls, were we'll portrayed.
