very pretty effect. Rugs and sofa pillows
were strewn over the floors and in the
corners chairs and setees were placed
around the sides OF the main corridor.

were placed in the several rooms. The
students upon arriving each received
piece of blank card board. When all had
been supplied they were instructed to eX-
change with some other person and then
each to write his or her name on the
borrowed cardboard. Then after return
