THE FENIININITY OF
 DIR. MARY WALKER.

Into the waiting-room at the White House walked pr. Mary Walker. in masculine attire, but with the dainty, quick step of a 1adylike little woman. Over her shoulders was thrown a large fur of the kind that every wo- man wears-"Nobody knows"-and in her hand she carried cane, with which she tapped gently but nervous ly at the Secretary'S door. Perhaps this was the second time she had come-anyhow she was impatient, and she gained admittance. As she stood waiting, her eye fell on a little boy, the son of Congressman Austin. who was growing i'll at ease waiting for "farver" In an instant pr. Walk CT had picked him up and kissed him as only a woman could, and in that act neither the mannish cane nor masculine attire could disguise the fact that there was a wOmauly wo- man whc first of ar loved children.
 Her iron-gray hair, parted a little to one side, was smoothed down in a professional roll. Her narrow, deli cate features and high faIsetto voice were in strange contrast to her garb, especially when the towering form of Congressman Ollie James, six feet three, swept by. As she passed out, a whispered question was caught up and became infectious: why didn't she wear a mans overcoat instead of the wdman's fur.''-''Affairs at Wash ington,'' Joe Mitchell Chapple, in Ma tional Magazine for February.

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI
 ASSOCIATION WILL GIVE
 DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE

A large percentage of those who had participated in High School plays the High School last evening and formed an organization to be known as the B. H. S. Dramatic Alumni As sociation: The organization promises conceivedN by Miss Ethel Poland who was instrumental in gaining the inte~- est of the large number present and in securing their support.
 A committee will make a report on a play selected for presentation after Easter. The active members will compete for parts and Miss Grace D. Clarke will be the directress. Those not chosen for the cast will receive a return from their money, $1 paid for yearly dues, in the way of tickets for the performance. All academic alumni are eligible to membership which will include active, associate and honorary.
 Laurence F'inIzelstone, Annie Bales, Frederick Morgan, MT. Munich, Lucy Linehan, Frederick Morgan comprised the committee named to draft the con- stftution and bylaws. Officers elect ed were as follows:
 President, Frederick Morgan; first vice president, Ethel Poland; second vice president, Arthur B. Baker; re- cording secretary, Sue Andrews; cor responding secretary, Clarence Lister; treasurer, Charles H. Kellogg; chair man of play committee, Sadie Rosen- Cudl' 1AIId1lCe COIIl1n1IISes fpoDeTC Blakeslee; press committee, Annie Bales. The board of managers will consist of the officers and chairmen of committees.
 The benefits which the association offer are many, and as an educational factor along dramatic lines the society HiI1 probably do good work.
 The next meeting will be Monday evening, March 4, in the assembly hall of the High School. It is hoped there will be a large number present and the treasurer is now ready to accept all dues which are to be sent or given to him with name and address of members.

olas. Virginia Alice Katherine DeMontmor- ency Smith (An aunt gave her the lengthy name that she was burdened with) Had costumes by the dozen, mere dresses by the score. She had so many that it seemed she could not want for more; And hats in every sort of style, big, little, broadly brim1ned, And smart winged hats and picture hats elaborately trimmed With belts and buckles, parasols, some fifty pairs Of gloves, And all the other furbelows that ev- cry lady loves She had so much she really scarce knew the things she had, And yet Virginia Katherine was any thing but glad. For when she was invited out to luncheon or to tea, She always had to think so long about her clothes, you sec To get the proper gown to go with Just the proper shoes And then the proper hat to go with these she had to choose. And once she was invite1 to a very fine affair, And she couldn't quite decide upon the things she wished to wear She thought till she was tired-oh, how tiredLso, instead Of going to the party, poor Virginia went to bed.

 ''While May Fully, the comedienne, is fully up to"her reputation at Polls theatre this week and her act one of the many laughs, the novelty act of the bill is Will Rogers. the Oklahoma cowboy, who admits that swinging a rope on the stage is easier than work ing.

May Tu-ly 6, Co.,, in the farce, ''The Battle Cry of Free dom,'' a Reno divorce comedy, also scored a subs antiaI hit and the Five Satsudas, marvellous Jap performers, and Will Rogers ran a close race for third place in point of popularity.
