vent of the Incarnate Word a Mex
lean supper was served to a crowd
of appreciative Brownsville people
that OveTtaxed the facilities of the
culinary department of the Convent
and made away with everything eat
able that had been prepared. The
sisters were assisted by a large num-
! Der of the alumnae of the academy
in preparing and serving the supper.
! Tables were placed in the large yard
on the Seventh street side of the
| Convent and there delectable tamales
and enchiladas and other creations
! Mexican were brought, steaming
and savOry and hunger-cOmpelling
to the multitude who had forsaken
! the usual evening meal in the usual
place to enjoy something different
Some staid hOuseholders and
heads of families who refuse to be
] happy at meal time out of sight of
their own hearths were seen toward
dusk proceeding hOmeward from the
convent grounds bearing huge dish
es OF cOmesubles that not even a
tight covering could keep from emit
ting the most pleasing of doors.
In every way ,Ae supper was a
great success, many more people at
tending than had been expected.

The various numbers were well
given and thoroughly enjoyed by
the large crowd in attendance. The
twelve little misses who took part
in the chorus entitled THE Clean
ers' undoubtedly won the honors of
the evening. They sang and acted
without a trace of self consciousness,
seemingly enjoying the piece just as
much as those on the other side of
the footlights.
One, the littlest maiden of the
twelve was especially good, singing
the closing good night" with just
every bit of emotion of which her
young soul was capable.
A very effective feature was the
poses plastiques" in which Miss
Eta Kowalski posed most graceful
ly, while the sweet old lullaby
Rock Me to Sleep" was sung.
The different tableaux were wor-
thy of special mention, all being
well posed and effectively staged.
The hall and stage were very
prettily decorated with palm leaves
and greenery and many hued flowers,
