PUPILS CLEVER HANDIWORK
Manipulations of Straw Into Horse
Reins, Baskets, and Hats - Paper
Flowers - Venetian Iron Lamps,
Brackets, Etc.-Wooden Chairs.

The annual exhibit of the Greenleaf
Vacation Manual Training School, which
opens this morning at o'clock in the
Greenleaf Building, Four randa half, be-
tween NJ and y Streets southwest. prom
ises to be one of the most interesting
exhibitions of children's work ever given
in this city.
The school has only been open five
weeks, and all the work which will be
shown for two days has been done in that
time From the opening day the little
ones have spent their energies in an ef-
fort TO improve and to make a reason
able showing at the end of the term.
That their labor has not been in vain
will be shown during the bazaar in some
of the neatest and most unusual work
ever fashioned by children.
The Basket Exhibit.
The basket exhibit. confined largely to
the fifth and sixth grades. presents son r
novel ideas in straw designs. The di.
ferent articles are made of raffia. Il {
inner bark of palm tree which grows in
Madagascar. and range from driving
reins to almost every conceivable basket
form.
There are tiny hats of various shapes.
started from the same model. but turned
into odd form according TO the fancy OF
the child who made them; waste baskets
stocking baskets and little fancy shaped
ones for trinliets or other uses. The
raffia is plated and then sewed together
The driving reins are ornamented with
little bells and hung about the room
picturesQuely.
The chief pursuit of the pupils in the
lower grades is fashioning paper flow
ers. These are not the old-time stifily
formed ornaments, but dainty and deli
cately colored blossoms. which are
heaped in bowls and festoor ed along the
walls until the room looks like fairy
garden.
Venetian Iron Wc;k
Seventh and eighth grade pupils ar b
little more advanced. and their exhibit
Of Venetian iron work is really remark
able This consists OF lamps. can
delabra, easels, and brackets, and each
perfectly formed and marvels of in
genu!ty and patience.
Possibly the most surprising results
of the higher grade work are the regu-
lation size of women's hats made OF
crepe paper They are made on ordi-
nary frames such as milliners use and
the paper is cut in narrow strips and
plated. These are Joined together over
the frames and are the facsimiles of
their straw prototypes
There are black. red, white. violet,
and blue ones, each trimmed with flow
ers made by the children. The hats oc-
cupy a case in one corner of the room
which looks like niche transported
from fashionable millinery establish-
ment
- Display of Woodwork
The woodwork, which is done mostly
BY the boys. is also an interesting
study. Chairs, tables, and fancy stools
are made as easily as the girls weave
their baskets, and when they are poll
ished up tnev are as neat as the most
eXacting bousekeeper could wish.
The exhibit will be open today at 8
o'clock and continue until u. This
evening visitors Will be admitted from s
