ST. KATHARINE'S.

The opening of st. Katharine's
School was attended by more than
the usual lumber of visitors. The
address, delivered by the Rev. ].
M. Scott, was listened to with in
terest from beginning to end. At
ter preface, in which much dry
wit was exhibited, Mr.. Scott took
up the subject of his address, "The
Symmetrical Development Of Char
acter." In simple but forcible lam
guage he strove to impress upon
the minds of his youthful hearers
the fact that perfect charact er, like
every other perfect thing in Gods
universe, is a growth, proportion
ate growth of all the faculties--not
the growth of few years only, but
of life time, finished only when
life itself is finished. A charm was
added to the address by the thor
ough sympathy the speaker has with
the hearts of the young. The dis
course showed much thought and In
every detail was admirably suited
to the occasion.
In her vocal solo, Mrs. Malkoff
was assisted by Miss Wren Pearson
with violin obligato. The artis-
tic manner in which this was rend-
cred showed the perfect cultivation
of Mrs. Malkoff IS naturally impress
sive voice and touched a responsive
chord in the hearts of her hearers.
After prayer by Rev. G. S. Ware
the pupils went to their class rooms
and the work of the thirtieth year
of st. Katharlne's was son."
The visitors from abroad were
Mrs. B. F. Mcfarland, New Or
leans; Mrs. M. P. Kearney. Match
es; Mrs. l.. Leslie, Grand Junction;
Miss Key, Helena; Miss Humph-
reys, Port Gibson, Miss.
That music hath charms for Boil
var people was proved by the crowd
that more than filled the study hall
Friday night, the date Of the annual
faculty concert. The beauty Of Mrs.
Malkoff's piano playing is indescrib-
able. When she began Beethoven's
Sonata it was apparent to everybody
that her fingers and her piano were
one, but the true lover of music at
once felt that her soul had touched
that of the great comp oser, whose
thoughts she interpreted in such a
manner.
Our fair young violinist, Miss
Wren Pearson, received most sweet
ly the storm of applause that greeted
her appearance. Those who have
been fortunate enough to hear Miss
Wren know the charm OF her music
and to the unlucky words are use
less.
Miss Mary Ingram supplied the
vacancy caused by the unavoidable
absence of Miss Long. st. Katha-
rine's takes pride in claiming as an
this young lady, who rose
to the difficult occasion at mo-
ment's notice, and whose marked
success of Friday evening adds one
more feather to her already we'll
decorated cap.
An unexpected treat were the rec
itations of Miss Florence Kierulff.
Her selections gave scope for num-
erous emotion and in everyone she
was fascinating. The strong per-
sonality and bewitching appearance
of this young lady, added to the
s'catchiness' Of her selections, took
her audience by storm, and regrets
were expressed on all sides when
she left the stage.

nal intent in what she did. The Swsh-
ors deny emphatically that the girl was

Miss Dickinson Is Il marvel TO her

phenomenal memory Is brought into
service in the difficult and intricate
history of ancient times. She Is fully
up 10 date in her familiarity with the
results of recent excavations ana the
connection established between tho un-

facts as told in the Bible. Miss Dick

ladies'. many of whom We're from

afternoon was the singing of Miss
Cordelia Freeman. ever welcome when
ever her sweet voice has been heard.
She gave most delightfully."- three little

Miss Dickinson gave comprehensive
but necessarily brief review of the
dynastics uf Egypt. She spoke of the
superstition with which the ancients
regarded the body after death and
that the eternal welfare of the person
depended on its preservation which was
understood so well az illustrated in the
existence of mummies buried thousands
OF years.
The Importance of tho succession of
royalty through the female line was
