which he had done both music and choreography. Then came the Spanish "Sevilliana" by Tex Hightower and Skipper (Catherine Damon). The next number was "The Skating Party" arranged by Bunty Kelly. The whole group performed beautifully on the sanded barn floor, in skating costumes they had made themselves. The group included: Bunty Kelly, Marie Adair, Naomi Westerfelt, Cynthia Mays, Viola Farber, Peter Saul, Jean Cebrun, Joe Fabian and Zebra Nevins. Jean then gave another solo, "An Aquatic Vision." Tex and Skipper did the "Black Bottom" in costumes of the 20's, and brought smiles to Baba's face. Skipper gave him her cloche hat, he put it on. He embraced Margaret, then the dancers one by one, most lovingly, and Don Stevens also. He called Jean to sit near him, and asked him for an encore. This was entitled "Time and Destruction." Jean won another embrace. Baba said, "I am pleased by this performance of my lovers, done with love for me." The dancers afterwards said that they had never danced as they danced that afternoon.

Harry Florsheim said, "We know Baba leaves half-way through a performance, so we shall make it short. We want to initiate him into the Supreme and Ancient Order of Alligator Watchers. The men will be initiated at the end, so how can he leave?"

Baba continued:“This morning Elizabeth and Kitty told me there was not enough room in the barn yesterday for the spectators, who were standing behind and perspiring. Is it true? And how about the perspiring dancers? They danced out of love for me. If you cannot stand heat and sweat for my sake, how will you offer your necks for me? I don't understand. Harry Kenmore is happy to hear this from me." Baba coughed and said, "I have a sore throat, and I am happy because it was transferred to me through love."

Two discourses on Compassion were read which Baba said he had given to Irene Conybeare, author of "Civilization or Chaos," for her forthcoming
