The Library Entertainment.

The library entertainment, Friday night, was one of the most elaborate and also one of the most successful of the whole series since they were first instituted. The attendance was very good, and especially so, considering the character of the weather. Tlie net proceeds, for the benefit of the library, were $24. The entertainment was organized by Miss Anna Ethelynd Reed, of Chicago, and given under her management, and largely by her pupils. The first half of tlie program was entirely musical, and mostly by Miss Read’s class, the Ladies’ Chorus, and Miss Read herself. It was very excellent throughcut. The second half was a one act “gossip” entitled, “Six Cups of Chocolate,” and was rendered by six young ladies, representing different nationalities or different sections of our country. Misses Franoes Eiglesbach, as a German girl, Lillian Rhoades, a Southern girl, Ella Watson, a New Englander, Flosse Wright, a Bostonian, Floss Starr, a New Yorker and Elizabeth Reeve, a French girl. They all did clever work and took the different parts exceedingly well.
