her head, underneath a snug fitting
cap, and a Dutch bodice, short skirt
tiny apron, and Dutch shoes, completed
the costume in which she sang her
little Dutch song, with a little comedy
by-play-an act which Miss Hogeboom
accomplishes in an easy and inimitable
way. After the handclapping had sub
sided, the orchestra played again, and
people chartered, ate, and smoked, until
presently, clear soprano voice was
heard somewhere at the back of the
room, and the notes of THE Pink
Lady came floating down over the
feasters. Presently the singer danced
down among the tables, smiling and
dancing through the length of the
room. AT the close of her song, she
passed the high sign to a group of
the circle, Charles Mitchell, rose and

song, Miss Gladys Cav demurely
walked behind her. and played violin
accompaniment to the voice.

in their chairs, just as they would at
a fraternity smoker, and rolled out the
notes of a song to the flag. They
were vigorously encored, and rose to
sing the Barcarolle from the Love
Tales of Hoffman. The singers were:
Willard Troxell. David Neiswanger.
Will Lusby, Earl Parrish, Milton
Frank Ripley. The real ''hit' of the
entertainment was a song by little
Margaret Morrison. the 5-year-old
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. T. S. Nor
rison, 1414 Buchanan street She had
two songs, and both of them ended
on high soft note, which she took with
serene confidence The little tot wore
a blue ribbon in her hair. and tiny
circlet about her head. In true prima
donna fashion, she refuses to sing
when not lin good voice. though she
doesn't put it that way. She gives

sung by Edwin Thomas.
Six flower girls. dressed to represent
peoples, sang a song, and Miss Rachel
Coston, had the solo and a dancing
act. After the song, they filed down
the steps among the tables and sold
their flowers; thus adjoining their
guests and putting money in their
purse" The flower girls We're: Miss
