FETE CHAMPETRE FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE u. A. So
CIETY AT THE HOME OF
MIR. E. T. WEEKS.

And Tuesday evening was as
beautiful, as anyone could de
sire, although every day since the
very wettiest of rain has fallen.
All the town seemed bent upon
rushing into the East End, for
were not the merriest and bright
est of our rose bud garden OF
girls" appearing in this attrac-
tive entertainment? The hand
some Colonial house, and grounds
were lighted by electricity and
chinese lanterns of many gro
tesque shapes, and colors, most
effective on the landscape. 1t
looked as if some merry fairy
had left the gate Of her home OF
enchantment ajar, for US all to
take a peep at its mysterious
, beauty, then sweet strains OF
music fell upon the ear MEND
/ lessohns Spring Song played
in well marked time and sym
pathic rythm by the skillfll
fingers of Miss Bessie Galliand,
and then, as if "drawn by the
melody. The graceful sprites in
flowing garments tripped lightly
on the sward, two by two, every
change in the music was sym
bolized by new and graceful
movement, a bevy of lovely girls,
so attired as to give freedom and
an added grace to every motion.
The synopsis described eight
figures represented in this ex-
quisite Grecian dance:
LIST. End Of summer.
End. Farewell to flowers.
Bird. Winter all flowers asleep.

sweet little Katherine Burke
dancing and gliding, and bowling
like a Variable fairy was about
the most delightful little figure
among them all. | am sure 1T
must be so, for daring little
girl sitting near us expressed
that sentiment loud enough for
everybody to agree with her.
5th. Figure leave awake.
9th. Spring and flowers re-
joice. "a
7th. Flowers everywhere.
9Th. Finale, all gliding grace
fully into an appropriate position
upon the green sward, very

a pleasant entertainment, but
