DEPARTMENT OF ART.

The Art Club held it's annual ex-
animation in the private studio of
Miss Lillias Bills. The two prizes
offered were earned by Misses Liz
zie Havenkotte and Sarah Robinson.
Miss Havenkotte answered correctly
the greatest number of questions on
the work during the past year, and
was awarded the artist story, GA
Dog of Flanders" which was the
more priced on account of its hand
painted cover. A copy of the cele-
brated picture, "The Horse Show"
was presented to Miss Robinson III
recognition of her familiarity with
the likenesses of the famous artists,
put on exhibition for the occasion.
After the serious work was con-
cluded, the club partook of the
dainties provided, and INDUCED in
reveries of the past and regrets that
to some at least that would be the
last meeting of "The Art Club"
For exhibiting the art work of
the pupils, the studio was most
tastefully decorated with the colors
of the Clab, lavender and white. A
great profusion of cut flowers adj
ded much to the loneliness of the
apartment. The display itself was
one of which any teacher might be
justly proud, and contained speci
mems of charcoal drawing, water
and oil colors, pastels and china
painting. Miss Bills devotes much
of her pupils time to work done
from the object. Among the pict-
ures particularly noticed were the
pastel, ssAlone," Miss Reading;
s.Study of Head" Miss Robinson;
ssThree Members of Temperance
Society,"" Miss Bonelli and an oil

One of our physicians says:
Bolivar is one of the healthiest towns
in the state. If kept clean, there is
no cause for disease. The first in.
timation of danger to health comes
through the olfactory organs in the
detection of unpleasant odors,
forerunners of disease. With proper
precaution on the part of our health
authorities, the doctors bills of our
citizens, already light, will be lighter.
An annual spring cleaning is not
sufficient to protect the health ofthe
town. A constant watch should be
kept, and whenever and wherever
disagreeable odors arise the cause
should be detected and speedily re-
moved"

ceramic collection was also a great
attraction. While making special
mention of these, it is only just to
say that every article in the display
had in itself a merit, and showed a
skill not always found in the work
of amateurs. During the night
openings Of the studio, the CLEAN
of the lights gave to the already
fascinating interior a charm that
few could resist. Miss Bills, daint-
lily arrayed in white and wearing
the club badge, welcomed her
crowd of callers with a grace of
manner that is all her own. Each
visitor left the studio with one
more pleasant memory of the com
mencement of 1900.
The rain on Monday greatly dis
couraged the performers for that
night, but their spirits rose to the
occasion when they saw such large
number of pleasant faces ready to
greet them in the study hall. The
special features of this entertain
ment were the piano solos by Misses
Julian and Pearson, and the piano
duet, "Spanish Dances" by Misses
Ingram and Polk. These three
numbers alone well repaid one for
yenturing out on such a night and
the performers wish to thank the
loyal ones who came.
On Tuesday morning, Miss JUL
ans little folks gave their recital.
The whole program was an ideal
example of what can be obtained
with very young children in tech
ninr Execution and expression by
socientious work and untiring pa
thence on the part of the instruct
ress. Little Mamie Humphreys
quite surpassed the expectations of
everybody by her comprehensive
rendition of the composition as
signed to her. She responded very
sweetly to the hearty encore which
was SO cheerfully rendered to her
skill. The program was varied by
vocal and instrumental selections
by a few of the larger girls. Miss

was a delight to all who heard it
and she was enthusiastically en-
cored. Miss Julian is to be con-
graduated upon the manner in
which her pupils made their debut
among the performers of st. Kath-
arine's, and every one in the au-
dience was ready to shake hands
and wish each little maid success
in her musical career begun in
such pleasant associations.
Tuesday night, Miss Smith gave
her concert, which consisted
of stringed instrument pieces and
choruses, interspersed with piano
music. This was one Of the most
popular evenings of the commence
ment. The study hall was beau
tifully decorated with the colors of

were daisies. The orchestra

was rendered by five violins in
most mastery manner. AS accom-
PIANIST in this number, Miss Edythe
Dyer reflected great credit upon
herself and her teacher. The clev-
er execution and comprehensiveness
of feeling displayed in the piano So
los by Misses Julia Tate and Evelyn
Sewer and the duet by the Misses
Dyer, make them worthy of special
comment. One of the most enjoy
able features was the vocal solo by
Miss Burnett, which met with the
hearty applause always given this
little lady by her audience.
The Glass Day Exercises and FL
mai Concert were held Wednesday
night. The seating capacity of the
study hall was taxed to its utmost
and many were compelled to remain
outside. A most artistic effect was
given to the stage by decorations of
green and white, the class colors.
The class motto, Sex Scholae vita
in Vitae Scholam," was placed in a
semi-cirele over the d. S. X. and
1900, giving pretty finish to the
arrangement. Miss Marguerite
Readings salutatory and class
prophecy was most delightfully."-
worded and her skill as an elocu-
zionist made it the more pleasing
TO her hearers. The valedictory by
Miss Sewer showed a depth of
thought and feeling and decided
talent for composition. 1t was de-
livered in an impressive manner and
held the rapt attention of the audi
ence to the end.
The musical program was one OF such rare merit
that it is almost impossible to make choice The
piano solo by Miss Bessie Tate and the duet by
Misses Julian and Polk showed great skill in exc
cution. The violin solos by Misses Lowrey and
Julia Tate appealed especially to all lovers of good
music. Numerous bouquets and hearty applause
were rendered Miss Una McNeal and Mary Bur-
nett in recognition of their vocal ability. Miss
Rather delighted the audience with vocal solo in
which the range of her fine and highly developed
voice had full scope. She was greeted with storm
Of clapping, which was stilled only by her reap
pearance. As vocalist, Miss Rather has few
equals and there a sigh in each heart when the
last sweet note died away, The final number, ''The
Home8ard Bound Chorus" sung by pupils
and teachers in gladstone unison, yet with the
gladness was the sad thought that separation from
many loved ones was near, that they bidding
farewell to their friends in Bolivar and performing
their last duty in the old study hall whose trials
were now forgotten and whose joys shone with
new lustre.
