Had ft not -teen for the absence of Eleanor Tiayer and tte Illness ot Mynle Gistell, "An Evening In Old Virginia," a genuinely original mia- Btrel fiho»v in which the girls of the Freeport Trairing Class School ap¬ peared—burnt cork and all—all ex¬ cept Emily Werner—in the audiiorlu'.n of the high school In Grove sireet on Wednesday evening, ITOuld have been a real southa^rn .leutjlon. As it was complete. Thi- "ole log cabin" was there aud the girls in every conceiv¬ able kind of raiment, four plcannln Dies lacluded, frolicked about In a manner most unusual. The really- Iruly lazy environment of the south pre/ailed on the Carlton Ilantation.
The high school audliorlum nat. Bever Lei da larger or a more enthu- Blastic audience. The seats wero fill ed—except for three in the "bald- head" row way up In the front, and camp chairs were placed in the aiblci. There was little delay la the open tng. A piano duei in which the Mis.s- es L. Knights and Gladys Cook ap¬ peared started things pleasantly and Miss Florence Thouuis, paved the w'>y merriment when she gave "My Firov Recitation."
It was then that "An Evening in Virginia," began lo reveal Its novelty of amu6en:ent. Stuart Culler and Russell Tree stood at their posts, cur¬ tain strings in hand, and th* entire ehorus sang Swanee River behind tht wings. Then as the siage was bared there was a tlutlor of ruffles and } aprons and pigtails and a ronfusian oi voices. A mysterious letter from Mist Emmy was read there and then. It told about Fieeport'and Its wonderful girls and n entiontd that Miss Emmy, that's Er iiv Werner, would return bonie shortly.
But she was there all the time and beloic ILe ie^ier was completed she appealed. Everybodi; was glad lo see her, of course, and the suggestion thni a real old time minstrel be given wae enthusiastically accepted.
Things moved along swiftly after that. Mammy Jinny, Miss Constance Loux; Donna Beiie Bounce, Miss (and very pretty) Uclla Cheshire; Annas- tasla Snickers, (stately) Miss Marjor¬ ie Pitcher, and F.<inny Funnybone, an unnamed hlack un who sat in Mytrle GlsBell's chair, were at the ends of the seml-clrcle. And they each did a Itltle stunt. They felt "fine like Jus¬ tice fMnt (30 days); like Ward's bread. Tip Top; li.ke Donna's head, swell, and like .Michigan, .superior."
Things w ere fairly well started when someone sang a song about 'a lawful wife." then the audience coui.i restrain ItEtlf no Iq^tger and pande¬ monium prevailed above the convul¬ sive laughter. Something was men¬ tioned about Freeport as a niarrla..?e market and the names, Simons, Swea-1 Gon and Fitzpatrick were coupled as j "licorice lights." Also Baker, Ousler- hout and Jones were mentioned -is I o
Afl a testimonial to, his long service as Vice President of tte Bank of Lon^- island, the oITicers of that Institution arranged a dinner in honor of Henry L.

The dinner wat to have ben give on Wednesday even ing. but on the morning of that day Samuel R. Smith, of Freeport, presi Jent of the'depository, was obliget'. to leave for the south In the Interest of his Impaired health.
While all plans had been completed ' for the banquet, which was to have been held at the Ilotel Astor, the com¬ mittee that had the matter In charge iummarlly suspended its arrange¬ ments and now the event has bedii postponed indefinitely.
