SCHOOL EXHIBIT

The annual school exhibit of the
Hurley Schools was held Friday. To
those who attended last years ex-
hlbit the improvement in the quality
OF the work done by the pubils was
a distinct surprise and qualification.
The neatness and care with which
the children decorated their work
and the general appearance of all
the papers showed decided ad-
vance over last year. The work of
the geometry class and the class in
botany was especially interesting to
visitors. The seventh and eighth
grades did some fine work and many
OF them showed artistic talent in the
decoration of the covers of their ex-
hibit papers. 1t is not possible for
the visitor to Judge Of the quality of
the work except in a general way
but one could see at a glance that
the children had taken pride in do
ing their work well. Mr.. Peters
gave a short and interesting address
and spoke of many things which he
hopes to see accomplished in the near
future. He said he hoped to see a
lawn, in front of the school house
and the grounds ornamented and
cared for. The basement he said
could be used. for manual training
room for the boys whom he. thinks
need more incentive to keep them in
school than do girls. w. M. Mair of
Mitchell then gave an interesting adj
dress and said many good things.
He believes in practical education
such as will teach boys and girls how
to live everyday life in the best pos
sible manner. Members of the high
school served light refreshments and
those who left their work to interest
themselves in the work of the school
enjoyed the afternoon thoroughly.
Prof. Peters and his corps of teach
ers are to be congratulated on the
success of their year of work and
the parents in Hurley should en-
courage in every possible manner

Decorated China

THERE will be few housewives ca
pable of resisting the beauty placed
before them in new china. Many old
shapes and patterns have been revtv-
ed with the happiest results, especially
in the Silicon china The jugs in the
old Greek shape will appeal to many.
Among the various sets shown by inn
porters it seems almost invidious to
pick out any particular designs for no.

these the Dolly Warden pattern. with
the scenery in pale blue. the design for
which was taken from an original cop
perplate Davenport engraving. and the
real old willow pattern in the most ex-
quisite shade of blue and gold are
charming. OF course the Crown Der
by, Coalport and Wedgwood are favor
ties. One Wedgwood set is in dark
blue and gold. and daintier tea set is
very seldom seen. A design which is
particularly Fascinating is the repro
duction of the famous Chelsea dessert
service, with it's wonderful sapphire
blue and decoration of exotic birds in
raised gold. This pattern is typical Of
the best work produced in English fac
tories during the eighteenth century,
and che highest praise which can be
bestowed on the present TeprOOuCt1On
is to say It is absolutely faithful to
the original pattern in all the beauty
of design and coloring-in fact, a des-
sert service of this would be joy for
ever. This pattern is not only confined
to the dessert service, however, for
bowls, cups and saucers. vases, etc,
can all be obtained in it. Even in our
delight over the china il would be Inn
possible to overlook the claims of the
glass The cut glass bowls are lovely.
Glass is SO popular at present for table
decoration that the choice to be had is
very useful, for every kind of design
can be obtained, and, as with china,
the prices range from the very lowest
to practically anything the houselkeep-
er is prepared to give. Glass is always
fascinating, and flowers never look bet
ter than when arranged in clear glass
vases Among the vases there is a Sc
lection of different designs, some of
which are ornamented with gold, the
gold all being burnt into the glass, so
that there is no fear of its ever getting
worn or knocked of with wear.

CARE OF PEARLS

The surface of a pearl Is not per-
fectly smooth, but has many micro
scopic Irregularities. The translucent
layers allow some light to pass through
them to the layers beneath. while some
light is reflected back directly to the
eye. Rays reflected from so many diff
ferent surfaces and depths produce the
beautiful pearly luster and color, the
characteristics of the drops that cast

layers are the more lustrous and valu-

THE WISE USE OF PERFUME

It should be a mere aroma, not q

ion it is always liable to suspicion as
employed to conceal some bodily de-
feet. The abuse and not the use of
perfume is to be avoided. The clothes
and the person should just be sum

ant atmosphere. Sachets of one par
ticular scent should be scattered among
the clothing In wardrobes, and some
times tiny sachets should be sewed in
the bodice and sleeves of gowns where
possible and feasible A rose petal in
a rose may conceal the perfume or a
narrow slip beneath the collar band.
Some people even have their soap
scented with the one particular per-
fume they affect.

ribbon is sufficient The color OF the
headdress should. of course, match the
gown, as everything from fan to para
sol must harmonic this season.
Jet and bead bandeaux are considered
very smart, although it should be
recollected that the wearing of these
glittering accessories is not for the
very young girl, for whom flowers or
simple knots of ribbon are the most
suitable adornments.
In adjusting the bandeaux the chief
ornament is brought to the right side
of the head, slightly higher and more
to the front than the flowers upon the
left CATHERINE TALBOT.

is appropriate for the plump face. The
bandeau Of black satin wire combined
with gold ribbon and the strands of
ribbon are knotted and fastened to
form a loop rosette.
In adjusting bandeaux It is well to
remember that If you have a plump
face the decoration should be placed as
far back from the face as possible or
it will add to its appearance Of ro-
tundity. For q thin face the ornament
may be brought as near to the face as
possible. for this will seemingly
broaden it. Dress the hair loosely
about the face. and in putting it up ar
range the couture so that the bandeau
