Though prepared ou short notice it was well w -it'iy of th I'alladian girls. Tho reciting of Miss Van Vrsdall and Mrs, McMiehael was especially good. The "Old and New Maud Muller" by Misses Lewis and Morton proved to be a catchy number. The musical numbers were up to tho usual high standard of Palladiau music.
