It is not' hazardous, therefore, to predict an evening of exceptional pleasure and enjoyment, and a sub stantial addition to tho organ fund, interest in tho completion of which is very general. Tho entertainment, as already announced, will consist in part of "Pictures from song and story," happily chosen and beautifully pre sented ; music, vocal and instrumen tal, by distinguished artists who have kindly volunteered for the occasion, and finally, and perhaps most important to young people dancing as an appropriate and bi'il -limit social climax to the season in Milfoid which no many young pi ple always remember with pleasure.
