The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1904-12-17
ST. MARY's ACADEMY.
An Afternoon Lecture and Interr


tation of Elocution.
The lecture scheduled for December
was given on the afternoon of the 9Th
by Miss Maude May Babcock, professor
OF elocution at the University of Utah.
The subject chosen for Interpretation,
Monsieur Beaucaire," was preceded by
a few of Tennyson's lyrics, those spo-
zen songs from The Princess, which
are ever welcomed by literary audi
| ence, and in whose rendition Miss Bah
cock employed the incest effects of
voice quality and tone shading. Tar
| kingdoms story, a gem in itself. brief,
| brilliant, full of animated dialogue and
Withal a keen satire on the snobbery OF
some people of rank, is admirably
! adapted for public reading; and in Miss
Babcock's dramatic telling. it lost no
whit of its inherent delightfulness. The
French accent of the hero was not
| overdone. as is sometimes the case. but
WAS moderated to d well-chosen degree
and evenly sustained throughout. Per-
| haps a slight lack of versatility in inn
personating the distinct characters
might be noticed here and there, which
would be disadvantage to any among
! the audience who might be unfamiliar
with the context. The success of the re
! cital, however, was fully demonstrated
! by the tense interest accorded the rea-
! der from the first word to the last.
That Santa Claus has some skillful

may be learned by peep into the work
room of the class in embroidery. There
you may see things of beauty fashioned
by deft and willing hands for dear ones

| flower and leaf a story of tilial or
friendly devotion. Among the first
pieces to attract the eye are several
| beautifully worked sofa pillows. Miss
NJ. Desmond has produced a rich effect
| by a conventional design in autumn-
| leaf shades on black satin. The Misses
l.. Burton, r. Huetson and NJ. McDon-
ough have each brought out artistic
color combinations on backgrounds of
gray linen, while a pictorial sketch out
lined with the Russian stitch bears the
name of Miss V. Bowden. There are
also a number of centerpieces which
compel admiration. Miss T. Donohue
has worked out a pretty copy of mai
den-hair ferns; Miss C. Bonner scat
tiers violets among her ferns; a border
of nasturtiums bright and gay as their
originals stands to the credit of Miss
Ashton, while Miss Dodds has repro

Little Beatrice Christensen has worked
sprays of holly on a small dolly. and
many others are represented by sets OF
collars and cuffs and numerous dainty
articles that attest the skill of their
makers in the use of the needle.
