breeches."

tity of flowers were arranged in bouquets
and wreaths. The blackboards contained
many drawings and etchings, the work of
the pupils, and altogether the arrangement

the waist, the bows a red waist above their
ordinary attire. 1t was a particularly
beautiful sight, when the addition of these
bright uniforms is considered, to witness

not be said in their praise and that of their
careful instructor.
