Beautiful was the scene when Faith
or Cushnahan at the conclusion of the
final chorus rose to express his graft
tication al the high averages the young
ladies had attained. and to urge them
10 be true to the lessons of virtue they
had learned at Sacred Heart academy,
whose aim as he gave all to under
stand. was the highest requiring it's
pupils to be true ladies'. He reminded
them Of the duties they owed those
devoted parents who had sacrificed all
for them. and recommended that now
the good mothers should be relieved
of some domestic responsibilities and
devoted fathers amused and comfort
Cd by the kind attentions of loving
daughters.

which seemed a delightful transition
between the programme of Junior day
and the graduating exercises. Lunch
cloths, shirt waist front. handsome pill
lows and dainty lace handkerchiefs all
gave evidence of well-spent hours and
reflected credit upon the deft fingers
of workers and designers. The art
room contained innumerable ornaments
and specimens of artistic labor that
would add greatly to the home decora-
t9ns Of many a western abode.
