MISS ALTMAN TO GO
 WITH DRAMATIC SCHOOL.

Miss Ida L. Altman of Birmingham who was graduated from the National School of Expression and Oratory' of Philadelphia has been engaged by MT. Kendall Weston as instructor of Prin- ciples of Expression in his school of dramatic art Miss Altman takes great pride In having been a private pupil of Henry Ludlam, who holds a world wide reputation as teacher of expression and dramatic art. MT. Weston engaged Miss Altman to assist him through letters from her former instructors which rec ommend her in the very highest terms. The dramatic school has grown so rapid ly that it tNbecomes necessary to have an assistant and none could be better equip ped than Miss Altman, for besides be- ing thoroughly competent to place the voice, which is SO necessary, she is par ticularly fitted to direct children, and sev- eral classes are already promised her. Miss Altman's connection with the Ken dal Weston Dramatic Schol begins March 24

COOKING SCHOOL
 GLASSES SUCCESSFUL,

The last of the series of cooking lec- lures at the club was given on Friday. the club rooms being thronged and Mrs. Stevens lecture being unusually delight full The classes have been notably suc- cessful and every woman who mas at tended them Is genuinely sorry that they are over. Nearly two hundred tickets were sold and the popularity of the class es was demonstrated, not only by the large attendance. but by the interest and enthusiasm of the women at the lec- lures.
 At the close of Mrs. Stevens lecture on last, Friday she made characteristically charming little talk, in which she thanked the women for their interest and when she concluded there was a rising vote of thanks to her, and the Lenten cooking classes ended in an informal reception.
 Mrs Stevens brought to her lectures not only her practical experience, but there was the added value of her artistic ideas for she combines both the practi- cal and artistic ideas, so that her demon strated lectures were things of beauty and will be 0 joy forever to all those who heard them.
