Special to The Journal,

The Japanese Girl" given at the COL
| lege auditorium last Monday evening,
| is pronounced the most beautiful en-
| tertainment of the season. The stage
was decorated in imitation of a Jap
| anese garden and the profusion oS
| flowers and shrubs, the artificial fence
and pavilion trimmed with bamboo
and wistaria looked indeed like the
genuine setting for o Hanu San, the
| japanese girl of position"
Misses BLY, Pickett, Elizabeth Cor
oett. Ruth McIlvaine and SalIie Redd
IsbeI carried the leading solo parts
ard each one sang so we'll as to merit
the heartiest applause from the large
audience. The operetta had a touch
! Of American life in introducing two
American girls attended by their gov
| erness, all of whom were travelling in
I Japan. Misses Opal Purnell, Constance
| Bishop, and Elise Partridge played
| these parts in an excellent manner.
| One of the best features of the per-
| Torrance was the entrance of the mi
kado, in the person of Judge B. A. Ne
| sinnis,s attended by his pages, Masters
Dell HART and George Henderson. The
ballet dance, by eight lovely Japanese
maidens, was extremely raceful and
| beautiful. 1t brought forth such
storm of applause that a second ap-
pearance was the only way to satisfy
| the audience.
The whole entertainment showed fine
! training as we'll as artistic gifts both
| on the part of Miss Sarah Cline, the
voice teacher, and the young ladies of
her class. Miss Edith Moses, teacher
| of physical training and expression,
trained the young ladies for the dance.
The skillful accOmpanist for the occa-
sion was Miss Carrie Ballentine.
This energetic practice and study of
the situation made the entire program
a real, and a most beautiful perform
aHce.
| On Saturday evening at $50 O'CLOCK
April %, the Latin play, Trinumue,
will be given in the auditorium by sew
| eral members of the Classical Club
The supreme object of this play is to
| interest the students in the setting and
general style of the Roman drama, as a
part of Roman literature. The cos
| tunes and every feature of the scenes
will be made to correspond as nearly
as practicable. The object of the en-
tertainment is not to make money, but
to defray the expenses, a voluntary
collection will be made.

is under the supervision and direction
of Miss McCarty, is the excellent and
popular series of courses in domestic
science. The young ladies are led to
coordinate the art of successful cook
ing with intellectual development. The

keep the proportions along such lines
properly adjusted. AS a means of de-
veloping to the best advantage the
technique acquired in the culinary art
