first syllable), which is to be given for
charitable purposes at the National Thea
ter on Thursday afternoon. The patrons
and promoters of this entertainment
after a most careful search were able
to find no man in Washington social
circles who could play the harp with
sufficient ability to take the part of the
bard, Fial in the Ceilidh, and they have
chosen Miss Camilla Yerby, who ac-
| quired an extensive knowledge of the
harp in Brussels, and who is now a
pupil at Holy Cross Academy. Miss
Yerby will be attired as a man, as her
part requires. but her features will be
so disguised by the long beard and flow
| ing wig, which the r-rt demands. that
only those who closely observe her hands
will realize that 1t is a young girl instead
Of a grizzled old bard.
