men and political economists, and the pro-
diRious power OF the crown OF England sub
sequent TO the Norman conquest.
Miss OKeefe introduced William the Con-
queror and discoursed at some length on his
methods of government and the Norman
characteristics. In bright, weil-read paper
prepared by one of the Misses Otis, the
foundation Of the famous aobey OF Bee was
traced TO good old Norman monk, who, at
terwards, received into his monastery tho
celebrated scholar Banfranc.
Miss Creighton entertained her audience
with an aCCO1nt of Norman institutions, in
Weighing particularly against the forest laws,
whose severity was afterwards mitigated.
Miss Nora Otis told of the beginnings of
this people in Sicily, their peculiar architcc
ture and the landmarks of IL still left on the
continent.
The most interesting paper Of the evening
was perhaps that of Miss Lee on Norman
Literature The "Song Of Roland" was
the burden of the essay. The fine analysis
of this medieval epic set one to thinking and
wishing for more.
These young ladies seem to have learned
the difficult part of Coudensng whole chap
ters into pages, and Of realizing the dictum
of Ruskin, that "more true force of persua-
sion might be obtained by rightly choosing
and arranging what others have said than
by painfully saying it again in ones own
way"
The musical part of the programme COM
prised excellent numbers prepared by Nine.
de Muentefering, whom the ladies' a.
Park Place have secured for that depart
ment of education. The pupils are trained
for singing by Mme. Young in the Italian
school of vOcalisation, which is unqGeStou-

with the fral young voices which formed

1t is gratifying to learn that the academy
has opened with so large a measure of sue
cess. rs class of graduates has doubled the
number of preceding years. and the school
has already representatives from Wisconsin,
Michigan, Illinois and Iowa, besides the
large quota from our own Nebraska. The

An Evening with the Normaus.

The first literary reunion Of the new
scholastic year AZ Park Place, in other words
the Academy of the Sacred Heart, shows
that the graduates of 100, eight in number,
are true TO the traditions of their predeces,
sors in whose footsteps they do not disdan
to walk. These young ladies have entered
the broad, fruitful domain OF history, and
have brought back, as the result Of their
months toll bundle Of golden sheaves that
were already ripe for the harvest, Their
theme was a very attractive one, not sugges-
tive of lime lights and gauze curtains, but
rather of the deliberate movements the
state craft and diplomacy of those brave
NormaIs, the doughty sons of the Vikings.
The introduction, by Miss Stephenson,
made clear the place Of these old Northmen
In history and described how by amalga
tion with the Saxons the English govern
ment became more free.
Miss loves essay dealt with two import
ant facts-tbe rise of the yeomanry that

in the same spirit. Better see the grand
lodge broken up than submit to the lowest
kind of slavery.
l shall conclude this already too long let
ter, by repe iting the gist of it. Follow your
own consconce: be just and fear not: better
separate yourselves altogether from Masonry
than become slaves to a dlshonorable faction.
There IS one faction of Masous that do de-
serve expulsion from the grand lodge. They
are the proposers. aDettors and supporters of
any law that would set brother against

Last year we said "Ging-
hams' on the 4th of January.
This year we might have prin-
ted a good story of them on
December 18th, but we didn't.
Only a mention before to-day.
AS the young aesthetic sought
for grace to live to the level of
his blue china Che lived in Bos-
TOM, SO we wish graceful
words for Ginghams. Words
equal to this seasons Cling
hams. If they exist, we don't
know where.
The lively chase of the last
two or three years continues.
Yankee after Scotchman, and
a lessening distance between.
Here the goods ale side by
side. On the staple styles
you cannot tell which is Rhode
Island, which is Scotland.
Colors equally rich and relia-
bic, spinning almost the same.
The coronation of cotton.
We don't say what's com
ing in Ginghams. We do say
that 55I styles are on the
counters to-day. The range
of prices is from 20 to 90 cents.
The brightest imagination
could not picture the successes
in patterns and cOlors shown
by this years Ginghams.
Colors heretofore thought sa-
cred to silk and to wool are
now a great success in cotton.
Difference and novelty in style
are expected, but it remained
for this season to bring colors
to perfection. AS we look at
the goods to-day it seems that
the limits of cotton beautiful
are reached, the ne-plus-ultra
of spinning, weaving, cOloring.
But who knows! ! The Van
kee Gingham maker may yet
be to the ScOtchman as Guilty
Sark to Tam-o'-S -Shanter; can
not capture him body and soul,
but may whisk off his horses s
tail in a twinkling. Ride fast,

Yankee behind ye!
What woman is not inter
ested in these Ginghams? The
shelves and counters are full
and they are long counters
Come, feast your eyes on them
