AMERICAN HISTORY TOLD IN A
CHARMING WAY.
Large Gathering at Continental
Hall for Sweet Charity's
Sake.

President and Mrs. Taft and their house
night at Continental Hall and witnessed
what was probably the most beautiful en-
tertainment which society has ever pro-
vlded for itself in the name Of sweet char
ity at this capital. Every picture was
perfect in detail, costumes and accessories
being in many cases heirlooms of great
value handed down in the families whose
representatives posed in last nights pa
geantry.
Miss Roberta Aimes gave a number Of
exquisite dances in appropriate costume
before the first series of pictures.
Mrs. Barney, who directed the whole en-
tertainment from the beginning. was COM
plimented on all sides for its artistic sue
cess, as was Mrs. Randall Hoes whose re-
sponsibilities win only cease when the
last Of the financial returns are made. Mr..
Edward A. Mitchell was the stage di-
rector, and most successful one.
Gen. John M. Wilson, Z. s. A, was
given rounds of applause before he COM
menced to read the story of the tab
leaux depicting the visit of the Prince Of
Wales to West Point and again when he
finished it.
The waits between the pictures were
short and the whole entertainment was
over before half-past 10.
