The Midwest Girls under the
Masterful direction of Madame Carrie
L. Harris entertained a well pleased
audience at the First Baptist church
Bazaar last Wednesday evening, June
6. These children ranging from 5
years to IL years of age, performed
their parts with much ease and grace,
showing that great care and pains
were taken by their efficient direct
ors, the girls are entitled to much
credit, especially little Faustine Har-
ris and little Hazel Bryant, as these
two little folks had never had any
training in the larger girls drill and at
the last moment were substituted in
the places of two older girls who were
unable to appear IN account of illness,
Madam Harris and the girls have re-
ceived several invitations to repeat
their program at a later date.
