blue and with flags, and looked very

ones, and it was soon all sold out. A
pound or two of sugar from place,
brought together enough to make candy
that brought in $50 Then came the

bashful, but Yennie Yensen wasn't, SO IL
came out all right, as did all the other
lovers and loveresses, except the villain;

a laugh from the audience. All told,
about 500 was taken in. Mr.. Bromley
was at his best, so we had fine solos be
