Blue Earth Post: Miss Jennie
Owens is the capable instructor in
domestic science IN our public
schools in connection with her other
multifarious duties in the higher
grades. Her students in the former
department, have long desired to
serve "meal" of their own getting

given below, the date was set for
last Friday evening. The girls OF
the class sold tickets to defray the
actual expense. This is the menu:
Escalloped Potatoes Fried Oysters
Dreamed Peas a....,
Parker House Rolls
Waldorf Salad Steamed Pudding
e Coffee

meal was figured down to a mill in
point of cost, this, being an impor-

this branch of school work. The act

was fourteen cents and nine mills.
