Miss Leize Perritt closed an inter-

last Friday. On Friday she gave q
box party, which was greatly enjoyed
by those who attended. Owing to
the inclemency Of the weather, many
who would have gone were deprived
Of the privilege. A neat little sum
Of something over $12, however, was
realized. The proceeds will be used
as a foundation for a larger fund,
which will be appropriated to the
purchase Of new school furniture.
