 The Studio, in it's coat of new light paint. is such a marked improvement that every observer has something nice to say about it. We are glad it is Taft. even if the name does suggest taffy and taffety. Hereafter it will represent strong, reliable presidential timber.

 We were so happy as to attend the Ohildren's day exercises at South Wilmington and at the church, and were much gratified at the speaking and singing of the children and at the arrangement of the flowers. Much painstaking work is represented in these enjoyable entertainments, and those who assisted in carrying out the details should have the thanks of all Mrs. Wolfe had the matter in charge On the Hill, with MT. Clarke as her assistant in the decorations. John Bartlett filled his position as assistant superintendent very acceptably, call ing the numbers, and everything went of most enjoyably. The very little people at both places were as lovely as the flowers, and as sweet as their clear, bird.like voices. We resist the temptation to call attention to any In Darticular. where all were so good.
