Perhaps the Hungarian Dance
No. ) was the most splendid ac-
complishment of the orchestra dur
ing the evening, although the 9TH
er numbers including the Soldiers
Chorus, In Birdland and Woodland
Sketches were excellently done.
The appearance of the soloists,
Miss Margaret Linekin and Del
bert Finley, as usual provoked q
storm of applause and both were
forced to respond with encores.
A violin solo by Miss Josephine
Williams, cornet solo by Miss Edith
Bewley and clarinet solo by Albert
Devore were exceptionally well rem
dered and rounded out Il delightful
program.
Fashion Show Follows s.,
A fashion show followed immc-
diateIv after the concert, the
charms of several dozen winsomc
frocks made during the school year
being displayed by their equally
winsome makers i'll fashion pro-
mcnade that called forth much APP
probation. The garments, made
under the supervision of Miss Jes-
sic Halinbaugh, ranged all the way
f tm simple ginghaml frocks for
house wear to the most elaborate
silk and satin creations for after
noon and evening wear, ineluding
as well several nifty wooden Suits
for street wear.

Mrs. Ethel Parent, came, in for
their share of honors, staging Il

The greatest opposition OF modern

TO make the principles which they
established in science one OF the chief
