Afford Wide Ilang-e of Subject
from Old Master Down.
N EVENING of "Fa
mous Portraits in Living
Pictures," given by the
young women of The
Carolina in the music
room in aid of the Vil
lage Chapel Fund, was the week's most
enjoyable ail'air, the hall being crowded
to its extreme capacity with an interested
and enthusiastic audience.
Wondrously striking were the effects
produced by aid of clever lighting, elab
orate costumes, stunning properties, and
careful rehearsal, beautiful women of
varied types and coloring affording the
selection of a wide range of subjects,
from " old masters ' down to modern
" impressionism ' ; heads, three-quarters
and full length pictures being shown.
The stage was transformed into an
alcove or studio effect by aid of a mons
ter gilt shadow box effect frame, set
amidst and backgrounded by rich draper
ies, and lighted from the sides and over
head; the pictures being shown in a
darkened room, producing a rich effect,
music by The Carolina orchestra contrib
uting to the pleasure of the evening.
THE PICTURES.
Among the most striking of the portraits was
Mrs. Philip S. Hichborn of Washington, as "The
Portrait of a Lady," radiant in a white net de
collete gown with silver scarf and blue ostrich
feather fan. Miss Margaret P. Boalt of Winona,
Minn., was bewitching as "The Rose," a simple
effect produced by draping the shoulders with a
white scarf and the introduction of a monster
pink rose.
Miss Genevieve Mullen of New York, was su
perb as "The Girl with the M nil," gowned in
pink satin with a monster black picture hat and
carrying white fox furs. Miss Theresa O'Neil of

by blue ribbons.

very winsome, gowned in a blue satin decollete
gown with iridescent scarf, with pink roses in
her hair and carrying the broken pitcher, after
which the painting is named.
Mrs. Channing M. Wells of Southbridge, was
stunning as "A Study in White," gowned in
white satin decollete gown with tulle sleeves
and carrying a monster bouquet; in striking
contrast being Mrs. F. A. Potts of Lakewood, as
"A Spanish Dancer," in a striking gown of black
and mantilla, relieved by bright bits of color.
Mrs. Allan E.Lard of Washington, as "The
Duchess of Devonshire," wore an elaborate and
effective costume of blue with black Gainsboro

"Queen Wilbelmina."
Mrs. A. C. Travis of New York, made a fasci

Winants and, in fact, the entire list of
participants. As a result of the enter
tainment, over one hundred dollars has
been added to the Chapel Fund, and thus
early the ''third annual" entertainment

ing "Madame Butterfly" in a rich Japanese cos
tume. In the matter of realism the large picture,
"Queen Louise and Her Two Sons" (Mrs. F. T.

fellinger and Miss Dorothea Crocker), was easily
the most striking of the evening. Mrs. Heffel

Play-off This Afternoon.
ONDAY'S twelve inning
tie score one-to-one ball
game, between the Vil
lage and The Carolina
nine3, was easily the sea
son's best, a crowd of
several hundred people, being kept on
tiptoe from the time the rst man went
to the bat until the last retired. Of bril
liant features there were many, conspicu
ous being the work of the batteries, and
various players both in the infield and
out, the satellites of the constellation
being McBain, Finnegan, McCorey and
Slattery.
Gleason of The Carolinas, pitched a
masterly game, and should have won
with proper support ; more than holding
his own against the famous "Cy" Young,
who, possibly, for the first inning or two,
took matters a bit easily. Young, how
ever, soon got a true line on the situation
and settled down to business, but he was
no more than a match for Gleason at
that. There is certainly a future for the
"Kid."
The Carolinas started things moving
in the second half of the third inning,
Blake making a pretty single over the
second baseman's head, and scoring on
Finnegan's hit with one man out. De
Eohn ended it with sky scrapers.
In the fourth inning the Village team
landed Eastman on first through an
error, but he was caught stealing second.
The last half of the inning looked like
another run for The Carolinas, Gleason
getting a base on balls with one man out,
and making third on McBain's drive to
left which, somehow, got past the fielder.
Hopes ran high when "Little Smithy"
took the stick, but Young's curves were
a bit too puzzling, and he was retired on
three strikes, Bailey ending it with a
grounder.
In the fifth inning, the Village took
their turn at entertaining the crowd,
Fitzgerald and Lewis making first on
errors, but Morris, Young and Gale
found Gleason's curves too much for
them. Finnegan made a two-bagger for
The Carolinas in the last half of the in
ning, but he was still waiting when De
Eohn made the third out.
