than the wonderful spectacular por-
 formance of the pageant, Pipes O
 Pan" on MT Munger's lawn Friday
 Friday evening. Mother Nature smiled on the earth
 and sent her beautiful moon to vie
 with the artificial moon, where her
 lovely queen, Miss Bernice Phillips greeted the sleeping world for an hour or so. She smiled as the graceful Dryads placed their emblems at her feet and they with their lythe and rhythmic bodies ripped and glided on the green as a silver cloud floates in the firmalnents of heaven. In the mirst of the happy play of the Dryads, who should come tripping through the for est, but 'Pan." the god of all the hill, wood and stream, who held us young and old, gripped in rapturous fantasy with her inim table mannl v voice and movement. Never was Miss Elise | Sparrow more charming in her por- | t,ayal of Pan. And giddy butterflys came Hooking by, flashing their blue l and gauzy wings and joined the dance I beneath the summer sun? And then | tie evening came lige purple flower, l and all the butterflies fell fast asleep. l The flowers closed their petals to the night. But To, ghostly flock of mist
 wbite moths came out to sing and dance | with the bashful stars.
 l These wonders were the magical re- suits of Pans pipes. The spirit of oak was beautifully portrayed by Miss Mary | Collett Earle, who brought the sweet | breath of Springtime in her dance, as she did also little Murial DeBardele- i ben, Rosa Earle and Christobel Powell Elizabeth Johnston, as she called to | the West winds to greet the world, was lovely in her dance of summer, and Miss l ila ac ch 10 ] ple grapes and yellow grasses, was truly a typical autumn in her dance. l While the dance of Winter, in her | snowy white mantle caused shiver Of cold, as she called the North wind in it's mad, mad whirl.
 Miss Matilda Hood as Winter was , all that heart could desire.
 | Just as all was the qui vive l group of Gypsies came strolling and riding in caravans through the forest, :! and lingering awhile to rest built 1 fire and sang Gysy love songs, led by Mrs. Alex Montgomery. In leaving the | forest two were left behind to revel in | the land of Arcadia awhile, and when l found by Pan" and Oak" were taught to dance the dance of the forest The | gypsies were Miss Elizabeth Salter and Miss Clara Brooks, whose types of beauty were admirably suited to their l parts.
 Pan and his comrades reveled all night in the glorious moonlight, and as he called with his pipes he heralded the pixies, the cunning little brownies, | fireflys, moths butterflies and flow CTS. He and his comrades were loathe | to leave the forest as the moon slowly dscended and Dawn approached.
 l All was darkness when faint ray of light was seen in the east, which /, grew brighter and brighter till Dawn N appeared and scattered the spirits or the fight to their safe abode. Dawn, in her shimmering folds of all the glorious
 hues of a rising sun wyas realistically
