VILLA MARIA ACADEMY


On the feast of the Holy Angels a
beautiful statue of the Sacred Heart,
gift from the Children of Mary, was
blessed and placed on mount at the
Grotto of Lourdes. After the bless
ing, Rev. John S. Murphy gave an elo-
quent exhortation on devotion to the
Sacred Heart. There were present at
this devotional little ceremony, the

sub-deacon.
Quite number of friends and pu-
pills spent the day at the academy, and
in the afternoon the pupils gave an
entertainment to the friends and pa
irons of the institution. The program
was well rendered, and showed care
full training. A wand drill by the
small tots was very pretty, and little
comedy presented by the older pupils
was received with rounds of applause.
Music, songs and readings completed
the program which helped to make
this st. Ursula's Day one of the most
pleasant in the annals Of Villa Maria.
On the afternoon of October 81 the
teachers and students were assem-
bled in the study hall. The CONNER
cial class was examined in bookkeep-
ing and the juniors in geography. The
members of both classes acquitted
themselves in most creditable man
ner. For instance, one little girl being
asked "What is lumber?" immediate
ly stamped her foot on the floor and
said THAT is lumber" After the ex-
aminations the monthly percentage
was read. Rev. J. B. Gleissner pre-
sided and in few we'll chosen words
expressed his delight at the success
of the pupils, as manifested by their
excellent percentage.
The last but not the least event OF
the month was "spook frolic" which
was decidedly the most laughable af-
fair ever witnessed at Villa Maria.

all the emblems of Halloween; jack
o'-lanterns and black cats were in bold
relief. The spooks' dance, the voyage
through life, wizard, witch and the
diving tub, etc., ETC., were among the
amusements of the evening. Miss Eu-.
genia Slavin deserves special mention
for the tricks she played on each one
of the anxious crowd who waited an
entrance to her dark domain. Rounds
of laughter greeted each visitant on
her return from "Spookdom." The
grand march to the ghosts supper"
brought unalloyed joy to the some
what weary "spooks." OF course the
room and tables were spookily deco
rated, but lo-if spooks' fare is even
occasionally SO sumptuous, twere no
bad thing to be spook. Long life to
Halloween and to our dear Villa
Maria.

people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair OF beautiful color
and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under siyty-ilve years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-

heavy and rank smelling with ex-

You can bring back the natural color

MODESTY IS A MALE VIRTUE
With Women 1t Is no More Than an
Artificial Protective Device,
Says Writer.

And in this same connection 1t is
time that We revised our ideas OF
feminine modesty. What lot we
have written about it and how much
we have enthused over it! Some OF
us have even tried to find in it an in
spiration, and women have listened to
our praises and our esctasies for all
these years and never once have they
divulged the secret that they had not
the slightest idea what We were talk
Ing about They have known that we
were crediting them with some virtue
that they did not possess, but the only
way in which they could learn of that
virtue was by an observation of our
selves.
For modesty is male, not female,
virtue, and If men do not get the
credit due to them It is only because
they have lost the power to blush.
What is called feminine modesty is
no more than an artificial protective
device, something that is assumed for
a purpose, like a revolver. 1t has nc
basis in consciousness. But male
modesty has a basis in consciousness
and is unassumed. No power on earth
could persuade a man to enter draw
Ing room stripped to the sixtieth de-
gree of latitude. He would be quite
shy about it if only men were present,
but women will do this in the pres
ence of both sexes, and many of them
would go lower still but for the con.
ventions.
Now a woman who had to walk
down the street in decollete dress
would probably blush. She would say
that her modesty was offended, but
actually 1t is her sense of the appro-
pirate that would be offended, for she
has not the least objection to bath
ing in public-that is to say, playing
about on the sands-in a costume far
more exposive than the decollete
gown. In short, a woman's sense OF
modesty is one-half protective pose
and one-half a sense of the approprt
ate. II you want natural and un'
spoiled modesty you have to go to
