THE HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL.
A New Book Which Will Fill a Long
Felt Want.

The various printers and publishers
of the city are tumbling over them
selves in an effort to obtain the pub
lication of the High School Annual for
next year. The Annual which the
school intends to put oat will include
about one hundred and fifty pages and
will be an up-to-date one in every re-
speCt. 1t will contain pictures of the
faculty, classes and special organiza-
tions of the school, besides many hui
morous and artistic Illustrations by the
students themselves.
The literary work of the book will
be of the very best, as everything
will pass through the hands of the
faculty for examination and correction.
1t will be such a book as the school
should have had long ago.

lady in this city whose perfection of
taste and many charms of mind are

parations for closing the house. They
were to leave for a tour next week.

The daughter of wealthy house must
perforce go every season to a poky
seashore spot because the family has
cottage there, and she is discontented
because her horizon never widens and
she meets no new people and sees no
new scenes. The cliffs and stretches
of sand are not dear because familiar
and her love for nature is not deep
enough to enable her to value COM
muning with the waves as much as
with an agreeable man.

believe she is enjoying it, but some
times the memory of the blessed salt
air sweeps over her and a quick gasp
OF longing almost makes her faint.
Then there is the other one who last
summer made such elaborate prepara-
tions to deceive her friends. She went
to Jersey coast resort and spent
Sunday at a handsome hotel, from
which place she indited letters to all
her acquaintance eXpatiating on the
elegance Of her apartments and the
beautiful time she was having. on
Monday she quietly stole away to the
farm of a relative five miles from
everywhere and much nearer her home
than the coast resort. There she spent
weeks.
