rows, worked hard and the results
showed that their labors were not in
vain. Several Of the members Of the

you woader how it possibly could have
been accomplished The following was
the program as given by. the young
ladies after the supper: The Sweet
Family, mother and seven children,
presenting a varied program Of instru-
mental and vocal music and readings |
The cast follows: Ma Sweet, Miss
Grace Hammond; Dorothy Deliah,
Miss Ruth Andrews; Ar-Minty Ann,
Miss Olive Harwo1d Carolina Cor

linda, Miss Marian Hulett; Frances
/ Fedora, Miss Helen Andrews; Eliza /
beth Eliza, Miss Ada Weeks; Gloriana
Gadabout, Miss Edna Wade. The
above young people were most enter
t2ining and received well merited ap-
plause. To speak Of any one espec-
tally would be a hard matter as each
and all were wonderful entertainers
and kept the audience in roars Of
laughter. Ma Sweet certainly had her
"chicks" in hand and, considering all /
her troubles, kept her poise remark
abb well.
