1913 Class Dance.

We, the girls of nineteen eleven,
Will n'er forget what at half-past seven,
We went to the dance in Adams Hall,
With some of our classmates, though
not all.
On the twentieth of May. we gathered
there
Both sophomores and seniors are aware,
With dreamy waltz and two-step light
The hours too swiftly winged their
flight,
And all too soon, we said good. night
Last Saturday evening the girls of
the sophomore class of Tome Institute
rendered most enjoyable dance to the
girls of the senior class. Dainty little
programs, decorated with two pennants-
one in light blue and gold, the colors of
the class of 1913, and the other in dark
blue and gold the class colors of the
seniors were pleasing feature of the
occasion.
The hall was prettily decorated with
flowers whose fragrance filed the air
throughout the evening. The dance will
long be remembered by the seniors as
one of the most delightful occasions given
in their honor.
The patronesses were Mrs. Newall,
Mrs. Richards, Mrs. Brown and Miss
Condit.
Sophomore Class Virginia Atkinson,
Clara Brown, Frances Hagerty, Grace
Rawlings, Pauline Rutledge and Elizabeth
Stephenson.

HOME NEARLY BURNED.

]. M. Sterrett's residence narrowly es-
capped destruction by fire last Thursday
night. About two o'clock Mrs. Sterrett
arose to- get their small child drink and
smelled smoke in the bathroom but
could not locate any fire. She aroused
Mr.. Sterrett who looked out rear window
and found the back yard lit up and grow
ing brighter. He rushed down stairs and
proceeding from burning oil rag which
set fire to a washing machine and broom.
Mrs. Sterrett had been oiling the floors
that afternoon and in the evening placed
the saturated cloth in an open tin vessel.
The tin pan was placed in a metal ash
carrier which was placed on the washing
machine on the porch. Spontaneous COM
bustion fired the cloth which heated the
vessels enough to fire the washing ma
chine and wringer and broom standing
in the corner, besides heating the bricks
in the house wall, to such degree that
the paint on the door frame was blistered.
A bucket of water in the pump trough
was dashed on the flames and more
hastily pumped and thrown on them until
they were extinguished. 1t was some
time before the brickwork was cooled
enough to touch with the bare hand and
had the house been of frame it would
have been beyond saving when the fire
was discovered.

dress the gathering clouds caused the as

not near as heavy there as in other por-
tions Of the county.

Beauty in Kitchen.

Considering how easy it is TO look
pretty when engaged in household la
bors, it is strange that so few women
attain this result. A properly cut
princess apron in becoming color is
not only as pretty garment as any
woman could wish for, but It throws
a wonderful halo of domesticity and
femininity about her. Yet women will
sacrifice its possibilities for the ki-
mono, which, while pretty little af-
fair In its place, cannot retain any
prettiness at all after being worn
a while in the kitchen.
A busting cap too, may be thing
of beauty, says the Montreal Herald.
Caps that recall Dutch pictures may
be bought. and worn with a pretty
apron, they give a subtle charm TO the
plainest woman.
The rest Of the working costume
should consist of a short skirt and
shirtwaist The latter can be low In
the neck and short in the sleeves. and
worn with a fascinating Dutch collar
may be as becoming as any ban gown,

70 KEEP SILVER BRIGHT
Polish Well Once = Week, Keep In
Drawers Lined With chamols
or Flannel.

All household silver needs careful
attention, and to keep II in good con-
dition the housewife must sacrifice
considerable of her time When
teaching an inexperienced maid her
duties In the household the mistress
should specially stipulate that the sill
yer should be cleaned at least once
In each week, and that a list Of all
the pieces should be kept on a hook
in the pantry. After the thorough
cleansing of all the pieces they should
be counted and checked off with the
list on the hook.
Under no conditions should any sill
yer be allowed to remain out in the
pantry at night, unless there is spe.
cial place for II. Each housewife usu-
ally has a method of her own for
cleansing the silver A good polish,
free from all sorts Of grit and dirt, Is
the best thing that can be used. This
can be rubbed on with soft cloth
and the polishing done later with a
channels. Where engraved pieces
are cleaned great care is necessary
to get all the polish from the creases
and crevices, where It Is most likely
to lodge.
One solution of the problem of TAX
ing care of silverware when it is not
in use has been effective. A cup
board is built under the pantry
shelves and fitted with a special lock
and compartments made for the sepa-
rate pieces. A shelf the length OF
the cupboard is placed a little higher
than the center, thus leaving the low
er portion for larger pieces. Both
shelf and bottom are covered with
thick red flannel, and, in order that
dust may not gather, there is sepa'
rate flooring, as it were, under the
flannel This permits it being taken
out and thoroughly brushed. The up
per shelf is divided into boxlike sec
lions, in which the small pieces 1T
easily. 1t requires less than five
minutes to put away everything, and
no longer to take them out in the
morning. Chamois is a good lining
for drawers where silver is kept.

Mr.. Kelly Uses the Columns of the
Meil in His Effort to Fight
His Men

In the West Side news of the
Evening Mail of Feb. 24th was an
article headed Axe FACTORY Men at
Work" The piece went on to say
that for some time there had been
about four hundred people out of
work but now there was none idle."
This statement was absolutely un-
true and to use a shorter and more
expressive word, a lie. If the Mail
wants to handle this matter why
why don't they tell the truth about
it? Why don't they play fair and
tell the public why the men were
out OF work. The Mail tries to
leave the impression that the men
were idle because there was no work
but this is not the case. The facts
are the Kelly Axe Factory locked
their men out because they were
union men and the men are staying
out because Mr.. Kelly refused to al
low union man to work in his
scab shop. The management of the
Mail as we'll as their correspondent
knew this statement was false when
they published it and the intent was
to discourage the bitt-drawers who
refuse to return to Mr.. 'Kelly's slave
pen like servile tools at the masters
bidding, but again the combined ef-
fort of Mr.. Kelly and subsidized
press has failed to accomplish its
aim. Only about fifteen of the butt
drawers have returned to work and
the union is better off without these
spineless spawns of humanity than
they would be with them. Instead of
hurting the union it has helped it.
All the weakened fellows and spys
have left the union; theiS ranks
