which were very fair representations
of Utahs floral emblem. Some at

dress and manners which afforded
amusement as well as instruction.

or seventy persons. perfect order was
secured and a blessing on the food was
pronounced The attentive walters
quickly lightened the burden of the
cooking range. and distributed the
steaming dainties TO the pupils aud
their guests, all OF whom bent eager
ly to the task before them which an
impartial judge would have pronounced
u pleasant one from every outward evil
