Physical Culture at Institute.
One of the most enjoyable of the
series of entertainments of com
mencement week at the Institute waa
that given by the Physical Culture
pupils of Mrs. White.
Drills and folk dances were the
features of the entertainment and
theii excellent execution ahowed the
careful training of the Instructress.
Ihe folk dances, particularly novel
and artistic, were so characteristic
that the spectators felt that they had
had a glimpse of life in foreign lands.
The first number on the progiam
waa a military, drill by the advanced
classt-s of the Institute. This corn
pan of soldier maidens was com
manded by Dameron Williams, efthe
C. M A. and he put them through a
.manual of arms that was creditable
lo Lin and bis fair company. In the
competitive drill the prize was
awarded to Miss Louise Glover with
Miss Mary Doty a close second.
The next feature was the Trallen
dancfd by the pupils of Form II. dai
ly dressed in the Swiss national cos
tume they fcrmed a pretty picture as
they executed the unique steps of the
peasant dance.
Tl.v were followed by wee misses
fion. Holland, who, from their quaint
caps to their wooden shoes, were
ehaiacteristlc of the land of the wind
mill These little maidens of Form
I delighted the audience with a Dutch
dance end a song which contained
some clever bits on the faculty.
The oar drill by the young ladies
of the Institute and C. M. A. cadets
was a pleasing number of the pro
gramme. In addition to the drills and fancy
march, the sailor lads and lassies
rendered with good effect a medley
of pepu!ar airs.
Then came the tambourine drill by
ihe pupils of Forms I and II. The
costUir.es were unusually pretty end
ihe execution of the drill was perfect.
Tho grand climax to the evening's
entertainment was the Tarentelle
danced by Institute girls and the C.
M. A. Cadets. Weaung the artistic
national costume of Italy the partici
pants, as they gracefully executed
ihe intricateevolutions of this most
difficult of folk dances, formed a
beautiful panorama, the memory of
which will linger with the spectators.

tain at Bridge on Saturday afternoon
at 4 o'clock complimentary to her
visitors, Misses Susie Swope and
