words introduced her to the audience.
Miss LeBaron is very versatile ar

led by the piano and one group by the
ukelele, and the audience was not slow
to show its appreciation OF her work

a solo, "The Road to Mandalay," after
which she took an opportunity ta-ex-
press her pleasure at appearing in her
"home town. to give an entertainment.
Next came an Indian song, by the
Waters Of Minnetonka," which was
very finely given, followed by "The
Winds Tales Nothing to Do" and a
musical reading, which gave a very
realistic description of Vacation from
Boys Standpoint In these child
impersonations Miss Lexicon was much
enjoyed when We Haven't Said Our
Prayers was a description of the feel
ings of two small boys after the lights
are out and the noises of the night be-
gin to creep in, with the resolution that
the next day they would pray ito beat

showed her mastery, both of the Ian

this costume consisted of Twas This
Way and That Way" MY Grand

In an Old Fashioned Town. and a
musical reading, "Grandma's Patch
