this department is dollar lesson, but as
the product of the schools labor is turned
to advantage in the lunch-room, the union is
able to put the price of tuition down to the
low figure mentioned. In the dressmaking
class the course costs 81 so, or Is cents les
son. The beginner brings her own materials
and is taught every part of the work, in
Guiding fitting and cutting. The millinery
class is conducted on the same plan. In the

THE BENEFICIARY.

Aims and Objects of Worthy Institu-
tion-Its Mrnaeers-
In connection with the fete it NAV not be
uninteresting to know something of the
workings of the union for whose benefit it
was given. 1t was formed just two years
ago by small band of ladies of advanced
ideas concerning woman's proper sphere.
whose aim was to elevate their feIlow-women
by placing within reach the advantages of ed
ucation, besides instructing them in all
branches of domestic life. 1t was hoped in
this way to reach the large and CROWN q
class OF young women who seek employ
ment In stores, either because of their lack of
education, which prevents them from aspiring
10 higher work. or of the false pride which
leads them to despise those labors which are
incidents Of home life.
Having resolved upon their plan the ladies'
went among their friends and quickly raised
suffclent funds to guarantee house rent for
year. With this to start on, they opened

added now game to the already long

plenty OF skill necessary, and also there
IS certain amount of exercise required.
This, however, is by no means so vio-
lent as ono sees in game of lawn ten
mis-; so to many this will prove great
attraction.
Tho game can be played on grass or
gravel or, indeed, on any hard sub
stance while it is not necessary that
the courts should be always of the same
shape or size; so that in this respect it
Will SUIT grounds that might not always
be available should the same-sized
court be sine qua non. The impIe-
ments required for tho game are not
many, being four crooks, four stand
ards, net and six balls. The crooks
are three feet six inches long, having
the appearance Of a lawn-tennis racket,
very loosely strung; indeed, the baggy
part of the racket is nearly three inches
deep The standards, three feet six
with cupped tops, are placed 50 as to
form siX-foot square, the net, two feet
eight inches high, inclosing this space.
The balls in use for the game are four
and One-half inches in diameter, four,
called sentinels, to be placed in the
cups on the standards, and the remain
ing two being the play balls The serv-
ice lines are thirty feet long, and are
placed twelve feet away from each side
OF the inside square, called the fold;
and then the court is made complete by
joining the fold corners to the service.

Two or four players can take part in
lawn crooketta, the greater number ap-

shown in the game. The principal part
of the play consists in placing one Of

ing outside the service line, serving the
ball so that it shall pass over the fold
and fall in your opponents court with
out his catching it, or you may displaco
one of the sentincls on the standards.
but taking care that your ball shall still
drop in the adversary's court.
The game is scored by points; one,
