House was well filled and the play was
given before a very appreciative audi
ence. The girls all gave evidence
OF careful attention to the spirit OF the
entertainment. and entered into it with
an understanding of Dutch customs

Glee Club work. and not for any finan-
cial gain. The returns. however. were
sufficient to meet the expenses
