SMALL CROWD WITNESSES
STYLE SHOW

The Coronation and Fashion
Show staged by the Wayman Home
Circle of st. Peter Church at
Phyllis Wheatley Tuesday night
was a show of many beautiful fea-
lures but lacking in the enthusiasm
and finish of those of former years.
The clamor Of the crowd was
missing, the attendance falling far
from records Of past years. The
modelling was done by a much
smaller group and while well done
suffered by comparison.
The coronation itself presented
a beautiful picture of court life
and the gowns and appearance of
the ladies were beyond reproach.
Entertainment was furnished by a
band Of musicians and some solo
lists, among them Mrs. Alice Stew
art, Mrs. Susie Gaylord, Geo. Sand
ers and little Melvin Dillon.
John Thomas was master Of
ceremonies. z. H. Payne was gen.
eral chairman.
