Che Cherry
Bridge Party


Why not have a cherry bridge party
on the 22d of February? To make it a
regular George Washington party the
historic tree should be prominent fea-
ture of the evenings entertainment.
Bring 1t about in this way: Sew some
old white sheets together and on them
paint in stencil dye a huge cherry tree.
On the appointed night fasten the sheet
from the picture molding so as to cur
tain off one end of the room. Mann
moth cherries made of red tissue paper
are to be pasted back of six inch cir
cles cut out of the sheets. There is to
be a cherry for each maiden's face.
Upon the arrival Of the guests the
girls are to disappear behind the cur
tain, and each one is to place her face
opposite a tissue paper covered open
ing. The men Of the party will then be
given little hatchets and told to choose
a cherry. They will each break through
the paper and find smiling face. As
the cherries are broken the girls come
from behind the curtain. each joins the
man who has chosen her, and he pre-
sents her with a bunch of artificial
cherries tied with red ribbon. This is
a novel and amusing way Of assigning
partners for the bridge game.

Che Barnard School Of Millinery

When I had pronounced the confection
dear and lavished upon it all the
chapeau adjectives in my vocabulary
she interrupted my flow of "soul' by
pointing out that I had missed the
technically good part of the CONNECTION
the perfectly faced brim with its tiny
cord edging, which in its way was a
masterpiece. And not the least inter-
esting of the many wonderful things
done in the millinery class is the max
ing of frames from a willow fabric that
is dampened and pulled and clipped
into condition over the wire founda-
tons. Indeed, the material is nodded
and shaped much as a sculptor mod
els his clay.
To prove that the millinery course Of
instruction is a popular one at this col
lege one has only to look into the pleas
antly situated workroom of the class
and observe the students at their tasks.
There is an air of suppressed enthu-
siasm, an atmospheric feeling of every
body trying to do her best.

WHY FRIENDS DISAPPoINT US.

constantly hearing.
why are you?" sometimes ask in
response to the plaintive remark of my
friend.
"Oh. because thought she was this
or that and she proves to be neitheri"
comes the aggrieved reply.
Then the disappointment is your
fault, not hers. She couldn't help your
expecting these things from her. She
probably didn't even realize that you
did so. The trouble is you have en-
dowed her with qualities which she
does not possess, and now you are dis
appointed that she has turned out diff
ferently. It was merely the fault of
your poor judgment
Don't you agree with me, now that
you have come to think seriously about
it?
Just because we are fascinated by
person we are apt to jump to the con-
clusion that she possesses all the vir-
tues we should like her to have. We
love to think: ''She is perfect. I can
give her my whole affection"
After awhile it happens that you find
she has faults very similar to your own,
and down she comes from the pedestal
The illusion is over. Another idol
shattered. But 1t isn't the idols fault.
1t is rare. indeed to find a person in
whom all the virtues and graces are
combined, and I doubt if we would
feel very comfortable in the society of
such paragon. For instance, the snub
nosed, faithful little creature who will go
through fire and water for some one she
is fond of will probably not have the
attractions of the girl blessed with per-
feet features who never considers any
body but herself. So you must make
up your mind to Grecian perfection
and selhshness or irregular features
and the reverse. You won't find the
virtues that go with one kind of nose
possessed by persons who have an en-
tirely different sort.
The gay, amusing friend who invaria-
bly, meets you with bright smile and
merry jest does not always possess the
same depth of feeling as her more seri-
Gus sister, and the agreeable man who
charms with his small talk, though
decided addition to an evening party,
may not be- as reliable as the man
whose conversation is apt to be some
what heavy and who behaves awkward
ly when he is making a call
No one is all black or entirely white.
The prevailing tint is gray. I NAV pre-
fer one kind of grayness in nv friend,
you another. Tho best thing is to love
our friends while recognizing the faults
which, being human, they are bound to
have, for that love is the only kind
that endures and outlives everything.
