The exhibit of the pupils of the
public schools which has been shown
in Westheimer and Daube's windows
will be brought to close Thursday
evening. In this display every child
was represented by painting, draw

the basket weaving by fourth, fifth,

with its higher construction and

of pupils to educate their hands as

Judging from the sentiment eX-

are well pleased and tell of what
good work the children are capable
of doing.

In the Presbyterian church, of
which she was a devout member, she
was regarded as an exemplar Of
christian living and the memory of
her gentle sweet life will be more
lasting memorial in that church than
any of stone or marble. For two
years she was president of the
Presbyterian Missionary Society and
has always taken the keenest pleas
