Key West some of his famous de- signs. There were many gasps of pleasant surprise as Mr. De Bries entered wearing the costumes, and when the exhibit of his noted shawls was put on, the ladies conld not be censured for having a feel- ing of covetous envy. As an impersonator, Mr. De Bries came up to all expectations, his advance agent’s claims were filled to the satisfaction of the audiences on both nights. Rafael Del Real, the singer of this vaudeville troupe. is an artist possessing a voice that is sweet- ness itself. The leading attraction to the men was Miss De Bries, who for more than half the time took the attention of both audiences. Her dancing, artistic and interpreta- tive, was more than good and she, like the other members of the troupe, was forced to respond to encore after encore.

But, even so, recent | additions to the church have brought the total number of ac-| cessions during the year to 53, an} average of more than one for} every Sunday in the eleven and a| half months of the present pas-| torate.
