The Normal school entertainment
Tuesday night at Lobato's hall was a
success in all respects save attendance,
bad weather keeping many away Those
who braved the rain and mud we're we'll
repaid, the programme proving a very
interesting one.
The first part Of the entertainment
consisted of literary and musical selec-
tione The college song was sung by
the full class. Recitations we're deliv-
cred by Maud Brown and Ella Dunlap.
Mrs. Frances Spencer sang the solo.
Day Dreams" very pleasingly, and for
the response, Where Art Thou?' She
has an exceptionally sweet voice. The
ladies' quartette, composed Of students
OF the Normal, rendered with pretty effect
the Boat Song" A farce entitled "a
Dreadful Boy" was given quite credit
ably.
In the trial scene from the Merchant
of Venice" the capable instruction Of
DR.. Spencer, the principal. was apparent
in the manner in which the young peo
pie acquitted themselves in the play.
Miss Jessie Cooper was Portia and took
this difficult part quite acceptably, her
gestures and general bearing showing
oiuch latent dramatic ability. John
Koontz as the Duke Of Venice demeaned
himself in ducal style and spoke the
lines splendidly All the characters
we're indeed veil taken and each partici-
pant must receive credit for the excel
lence of his or her performance. @. A.
Grommet, as Shylock, gave an intelli-
gent portrayal Of the character and his
thorough knowledge Of elocutionary
methods was apparent
The entire entertainment gratifed the
friends of the Normal in showing the
strides the students are making in edu-
cational matters. The full programme

A Practical Plan.

The interest that is bestowed upon
brides in general seems to be never fail
ing. The trousseau of the present day is,
however, much more sensible affair
than that of old. Young women have
wisely come to the conclusion that a
great mistake was that old fashioned
idea of having a thorough outfit, even if
by so doing the bride were a physical
and mental wreck from the consequent
fatigue and worry. Those brides Of
years ago are not to be compared with
the present perfectly healthy. contented
young woman who has not devoted all
the weeks and months of her engagement
to laying in a supply of clothes sufficient
to last her for years. The original pur-
pose of trousseau is in itself an excel
lent one, and that bride should start on
her married life with a sufficient amount
of clothing to last for a twelvemOnth no
one can question, but it is not necessary
to buy clothes for year ahead, particu-
larly now, when fashions change so con
tinually. A sum of money, large or
small, as the case may be, put in the
bank for the years expenses. and merely
what is necessary for the season of the
year when one is married purchased at
once, is n far more practical plan. -

INVITING him as carpet knight. So
when he planned tour of Scandinavia
he offered to expose himself to all tue
peril of capturing grebe along the
scraggy cliff of the coast and promised
ner the priceless plumes of the bird. She
admiringly agreed that if he would bring
her such royalty won trophy she would
give him locket bearing a portrait of
herself arrayed in the feathers, a token
of her plighted troth.
Pursuant to his intentions, he was low

was being raised to the top when the
rope encircling his body loosened. After
varied dangers he landed upon the sum

also on his mind. Never could he recall

fume making begins with spreading the
petals upon layers of pure lard that cover

renewed three or four times before the
fat has become thoroughly saturated with
the perfume. This perfumed lard is the
"pomade" of commerce, out of which are

GkUTTONY

Is more common than we NAV think, if
we define gluttouy as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stonach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food That is fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many a person who would resent
the term as an insult The fact of this
gluttonv is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
ton is "weak stomach The "weak :"

triton for the body, and soon the weak
