The dancing parties which close

greatly enjoyed by the little folks
who have part in them. The party
of last night which was given in
Woodman hall, was pronounced by
many to have been the most satisfac-
tory that Miss Harris has given: All
the seats around the hall we're Z ken
and the special dances and aesthetic
work was generously applauded. Miss
Olive Morgan played for the dancing.
Favors of flags were given the chill
dren at the close of the program, in
a grand march which was led by
Adelaide Baker and Waters Kellogg.
The children holding aloft the flags
through the intricate features of the
march made very beautiful picture.
Miss Harris will spend the summer
