dainty as a flower. The first act was
written by Mrs Hanson, and repre-

attending accidents and funny stua-
tions. The second and third acts were
from "a Rose Dream" The solos and
choruses were very we'll rendered the

ers. from which the childish faces
peeped, and the acting was delightful.
The evening was success in every
