EFFORT TO CHANGE CLOSING

The committee from the school board
appointed to examine the grades of
the pupils in the graduating class and

resentativse, met this morning and
appointed Robert Acker valedicto-ien

they should feel justly proud Of the
fact. Aoker's grades average 90 Gil

The grades all run high and in big
fractions and the race was indeed
close. The grades Of several other
pupils came within few fractions Of

were made and excellent work has,
been secured out Of the pupils this

THE FASHION OF YOUTH.


It would seem that ladies have left
of growing old by their own decision.
The bachelor girl of today may be
thirty, thirty-five or forty, but as no.
body reminds her of her years she is
unaware of them, With the result so
agreeable to us all-that she does not
look them. She has simply decided to
remain young, and youth abides with
her. A fashion writer says:
Where is she who once was styled
old maid? | encounter her only in
novels or on the stage. 1t is the way
of the novelist to lag behind the times.
but the theater should know better.
So far, indeed, as women are con-
cerned, there is nothing now, think,
between youth and the extremity Of
years. Middle age, having gone out of
fashion. has incontinently disappeared.
The maiden aunt has become the elder
cousin of her nieces and her neplews.
Why grow old? The gods never
thought of such thing. A middle
aged Venus is a contradiction in terms.
and what fancy could depict a wrin-
kled Hebe:
At this point am imperativeIy re-
minded that some form of athletics
claims most ladies at the present day.
l am not thinking only of the school
girl and the girl graduate. l am think
ing more particularly Of those ladies
who have long passed from the hands
of schoolmistress, who have, in fact,
reached what used to be called "a GER
tain age" Twenty years ago these
ladies would have been expected to
wear bonnets and a severe style Of
mantle.
In their attire as much as in any
thing l observe the happy determina-
ton of ladies to go on being young.
There seems to be at present no mid
die aged wear at all. How. forsooth,
should there be. middle age being
beneficently abolished. If dowdiness is
observable. suspect at once that the
| offender is still in her unregenerate
youth. A little later she is wise enough
to know that no woman ever yet look
ed young who was badly or unbecom
ingly dressed.
Given certain way of life, more
over, it is probably as easy to remain
| youthful.-within. of course, reason
able span of years-as to grow old.
| One thing may be taken as certain
| that the age at which women in gen.
eral elected to be laid on shelves has
been absurdly young; that they have
| become aware of that fact and are dis
posed to remain young in future for
very much longer period-a most laud-
able intention, surely!

1t is said that the raw potato has an
acid that not only keeps the knife

A little white sugar in the water in

preserve their color and is better than
the use of soda.
