St. Mary,s Academy Notes.

I
had many eventful periods but none of
them have surpassed in genuine pleas
ure the Halloween banquet provided by
| Sister Superior for the senior students
The dining room was most handsomely
decorated. Strealners of variegated COL
ors rejecting autumnal hues stretched
| from pillar to pillar, and from chande-
lters and windows, the effect being
heightened by the electric globes taste
fully festooned. Covers were laid for
f1fty-siX. At the center of each table
rested huge pumpkin, covered with
| flowers; ferns and leaves adding their
verdant beauty. At p. m. the banquet
was announced, and soon the tables
were surrounded by the guests, all
smiling, and gaily attired in the costume
designed by the charge daffaires, thus
lending to the occasion the most festive
appearance. The bill of fare was pro-
vided and prepared in a manner most
creditable to the cuisine of the academy,
Following was the menu:
ConSomme.
Crackers. Sailed Nuts.
Sliced Ham. Sliced Tongue.
Olives. Mustard Pickles.
Sandwiches.
Rice Croquettes. Saratoga Chips.
Chicken Salad.

MISS Ollie Cooper, as Sis Hopkins, ex-
cited the visibility of the spectators bv
her comic performances. A GYPSY tent
in the southeast corner of the hall.
which was the abode of the fortune tell
er, Miss Arvilla Vanderhoef, was con-
stantly besieged by those eager to peer
into the future. The remainder of the
evening was spent in music, dancing
and other amusements, and when the
bell announced the hour for retiring
regret was visible in the cOuntenance of
everyone that the pleasantest day of the
present scholastic year had come to a
close, but all felt deeply grateful to her
whose sole aim is the happiness and
welfare of those confided to the care
and training Of Alma Mater.
Sincere and cordial thanks are extend
ed to Mrs. MERCER, whose generous inn
pulses found their outlet in the presen-
tatfon of exquisite flowers for the altar
and treat of candy. Mrs. J. Griffin |
also deserves special mention for a gen
erous offering of white chrysanthe- |
NUNS. May the Prisoner of Love re- |
ward them thousandfold!
