lev of melody and brought back some
q, the song and dance hits Of the last

tribute their share to the success of
me affair but some Of the older girls
ss well and not few Of the younger
married set took part.
They had the assistance Of some
equally talented young men in so
ciety, so no wonder each number was
loudly encored. that the girls received
no end of curtain calls and the flowers
hat always accompany these and that
