A humorous reading. Betty at the
Baseball Came" by Miss Charlotte
Carleton (English) kept the audience
in laughter and the young lady was
roundly applauded at the conclusion.
Miss Marjorie Gray, a pupil Of Miss
Dorothy Elise Gray, presented a spe-
cial number, the "Neapolitana," an
Italian dance. In beautiful costume
she was the embodiment of graceful
ness, and she proved to be an accom-
plished dancer. Her accompaniment
was played by Miss Christine Carey.
Harley F. Sawin (English) next
played two fine violin solos, the accom-
paniments being by Prof. Hopkins. A
moment later Mr.. Sawin played for the
Irish jigs which were danced by Mrs.
Ellen Gildea, "a years of age but as
spry as ever. Mrs. Gildea danced the
intricate Jig steps with all the fire of
youth and appeared to be having every
bit as good a time as did those who
were watchin~ her.
Miss Luba RadslSy (Russian) the
daughter of Paul Radsky, who later
appeared on the program, played
two beautiful piano solos and DEM
onstrated that she is a clever per-
former on the instrument, her inter-
probation of the two numbers being
especially fine.
Holding an ordinary upright piano
on his chest and knees was the feat
performed by George Touraine CAR
menian) who next appeared. Mr..
Touraine who is we'll known here
through his athletic prowess gave a
short demonstration of his ability
along athletic lines, finishing up with
the spectacular feat above-men-
toned.
A group of Russian peasant songs
sung by Paul Radsky in Russian was
very unusual and interesting.
Miss Devina Slosberg, the popular
Juvenile dancer appearing in group
of clever dances was one of the hits
of the evening and she was obliged
to return twice to satisfy the audi
ence. She wore a pretty Russian
costume of red which was most at
tractive.
Charles F. Bilodeau and J. Frank
Bilodeau, both gifted with splendid
voices sang ia Marseillaise' in
splendid manner, and this was fol-
lowed by an attractive dance by pu-
pills of Miss Dorothy e. Gray, those

rection of these programs since the
first carnival and the program under
his management was carried off with
dispatch. Mayor Ernest L. Mclean

remark appropriate to the nation

Some of the work that has been
done this past winter at the night
school which has been held at the
Webster school was shown at one
of the tables. This consisted of
fancy work and millinery and clear
ly demonstrated that the foreign
born peoples are capable with proper
instruction of doing work of most
particular nature.
