The commence uent exercises of the institution, which are not now far off, is the all-absorblng topic among the society people, and the sweet girl graduate is contemplating the event with great interest and . pleas ure and will no doubt hail with delight the dawn of the day when a liberation from bondage to books will give place to much needed recreation and pleasure in mingling and co-mingling in the rou- tine so characteristic of that particular stage of her life when she might with all due propriety, be termed a girl and angel, too. The occasion this year points to one of the most brilliant ever known in the history of the institution and prep arations are being made to see that the large audience, who never fail to witness the exercises, shall not be in the least disappointed

The occasion was indeed classical and perfect In every detail.
