by LaVEaNE THOMAS.

We just want to tell you what a
treat you missed. Even the mer-
chants and the ladies in charge were
elated over the results. For the
first time in the history of the Ry-
lander theater the s. r. sign was
displayed, and the success of the oc-
casion far exceeded the hopes OF
those interested.
Much praise is due Mrs. W. II. c.
Dudley, president of the Music Study
club, under whose auspices the enter
tainment was given; to the other
ladies who co-operated with her; to
the merchants who entered so hearth
ly into the affair; to the models, WHO
played their parts to perfection; TO
the Bathing Beauties, not only IN
name, but face and figure, who won
more APPLAUSE than any other one
number; to group of girls from
the High School Glee club who rem
dered a japanese chorus in attractive
costumes, was a decided hit; to the
High School Orchestra, directed by
Miss Ella Polk, an organization do
ing credit to professionals; to T.. K.
ROYAL, who so ably directed the
Fashion show; to a wonderful Gypsy
dance by Miss Susan Stallings, to q
fairy-like Interpretation of "Humor-
eque," by Florrie Warren and all 9th
ers taking part.
The program opened with a num-
bcr By the High School Orchestra and
"Mi-Mo-San," by the High School
Glee club.
Evening dresses from the Fashion
Shop worn by Miss Edith Creighton,
Mrs. Henry Lumpkin, Miss Geraldine
Payne, Miss Gertrude Davenport, and
Edith Shy were first shown. A pref
tier lot of evening gowns was never
seen in Americus. If one of these
could be said to be prettier than the
other, it may be that Miss Creigh-
TONS, at least in the opinion of the
writer, was the prettiest worn dur
ing the evening.

ture of daintiness in an afternoon
dress from Mrs. Pearlman's.
