The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1918-01-30

with solos, Quartets and choruses.
The papers were carefully prepared,
and the subjects we'll chosen, while
the compositions proved the highly
intellectual ability of the writer's
The audience was much pleased. 1t
also demonstrated its approval OF the
musical selections by liberal ap-
plause at the conclusion OF each
number
Possibly the most interesting part
Of the program was reserved for the
evening session. at which time The
Ten Virgins We're presented to
large and appreciative audience, not
withstanding the sleety condition OF
the pavementS. The professional,
which included the bridal party, con
sisted OF bride. groom. maids, best
man, flower girls, virgins. and an
gels OF darkness and light. 1t en-
tered the main auditorium from an
adjacent room and assembled the
main isle, the line extending from
the entrance to the chancel rail. The
bride was richly attired in white and
the attire of the maids was similar
except they wore beautifully trimmed
hats TO match. The room was dim
ly lighted. and as the procession
moved up the isle to the slow and
measured strains of the wedding
march, the scene, though beautiful
and highly interesting, was not with
out its touch of solemnity.
A synopsis has not been deemed
necessary, as no doubt every reader
of the Bible is familiar with the
story of The Ten Virgins. Suffice it,
therefore, TO say that the story tea
ches us the duty we owe to God, and
to ourselves. is to exercise the pre-
caution of the five wise virgins, and
thereby to be prepared to meet the
Savior at His coming.
A contest for a prize between the
two leading ladies, Misses Salina Wa
tiers, of Paramount, and Hattie Doug
las, of this city, resulted in favor of
Miss Waters Miss G. A. DeFoye, an
evangelist, who has accomplished
some good work here within the past
three weeks, proved to be quite an
acquisition to the program, having
made an address at each of the ses-
sions. She is quite an effective
speaker.
Mrs. Sarah Jane Jackson, who SUI
pervised the entire program. is to be
congratulated for proficiency. There
was not a single hitch in any of the
arrangements. She was greatly as
sisted by the Troika Club. 1t is to
be regretted that Mrs. Effie Young,
! who was on the program for an ad-
dress, was unable to be present be-
cause of indisposition. The Troika
Club, of which mention has been
made, is entitled to more than pass
ing notice. This club is composed
of young ladies who have associated
themselves together for the purpose
of developing literary, artistic and
social tastes, all of which are so ar
ranged as to tend toward community
betterment. A special committee is
taking care of the neighborhood con-
ditions, and receiving requests for
assistance The doors of the club
are open to any young lady who may
wish to become member. 1t is
properly organized, and has regu-
lar code of bylaws for its protection
and government. 1t meets once
week at the different residences of
its members, arranged in alphabet
cal order. It's officers are:
Mabel st. Clair, president; Anita
Boggs. vice-president; Ida Landrick,
secretary; Marie Saunders, treasurer,
and Helen McCarter, chaplain.
1t is claimed that each and every
member is not only regular, but
prompt as well, in her attendance.
That the life of Troika Club may be
noted for it's longevity, and that it
may multiply in numbers, and grow
in prosperity, until it shall have rea-
liked in full the accomplishment of
the purpose for which it was orga-
nized, may be found among the best
wishes of the writer.
