Pronounced Success

Hundreds of children enjoyed the
autumn fete yesterday in the grounds
and orchards of the Trocadero School
of Employment on the Sloat boulevard.

lowed by Irish jigs that gave place in
turn to Indian dances and sedate mill
tary dances There was an orchestra
and the band from the Hebrew boys
orphanage discoursed good music.
The visitors we're treated to home
made gingerbread and candies pre-
pared by the pupils of the school. The
thirsty contingent had home made
cider and other refreshments concocted
by the amateurs of the school and the
trained cooks who form the faculty of
the domestic department. The games
and dancing were under the direction
Of Mrs. Carrie Brown Dexter, Miss
Florence and Miss Geraldine Arnold
and Miss Fanny Hinman.
The school of employment is de-
signed for the training of women who
are self-supporting and who desire ad-
vancement in their practical work. The
school has been a great success and has
the various departments well estab-
lished- The fund needed replenishing
and the fete yesterday was given as a
benefit. The result will be a substantial
sum that will be devoted to the neces-
sites of the school The patronesses
who assisted in making the affair a
social and financial success were:
Mrs. Mark L. Gerstle, Mrs. Elwyn Stebbins
Mrs hobart Curtis, Mrs NJ. D. Eisner Mrs
