from little tots to young Misses of 10
years. Every member on the varied pro-
gram showed most diligent coaching by
the young teacher with faithful and will
ing practice by the pupils. Miss Sweat
in dainty gown of white conducted the
exercises and the beautiful and becoming
gowns of her pupils showed the home in
terest that was taken in the scenic Sec
ton of the affair. The patronesses were
Mrs. Clement w. Wescott, Mrs Wilmer
j. Dorman, Mrs. T. B. Dinsmore, Mrs.
Charles Bradbury, Mrs. o. S. Vickery
and Mrs. S. A. Parker. The pleasing
program opened with solo by Clara Ham,

tune and in all showed a very clever ap-
probation of the varied parts required of
her Miss Olive Morse, one of the older
pupils, in costume as Miss Columbia did

fully winning the approval of all. The
wooden doll dance by Priscilla and Evelyn
Sweat, the little sisters of the teacher,
was well done and received prolonged
applause Miss Priscilla was the black
face in the "Study in Black and White"
and took the part very effectively. Little
Evelyn-only three years of age-was a
star in the tableau, The Youngest Red
Cross Nurse and later in little clown
suit gave an exhibition of what she had

dressed to resemble little colonial girl,
with demure simplicity captivated the
audience and willingly repeated her grace
full little dance Little Elena Shute as
Highland lassie did this difficult and al
ways pleasing dance remarkably well and
showed unusual ease for child. Gretchen

generally considered the star of the even

blue band on her auburn hair which she
wore in long cur]s. She carried red
rose WHICH dOucu " IHC CuCCe VI hSi
gown and was used in the graceful dance
Her exhibition of toe dancing was very
fine. The Sailors Hornpipe, the Pajama
Dance, and the ball room dancing by the
full class were all a credit to the young
teacher. The violin solo, Resignation, by
Helen Wescott and the piano solo Polacco
by Miss Julia Littlefield were pleasing.
