The above was the programme pre-
sented yesterday morning on the lawn az
the Margaret Allen school. All the beauty
that poets have woven into their rhymes
about the Maytime was in evidence
There was the green of the lawn and of
the shady trees, and of white clad girls
who followed fascinating cadences of the
music played on the school balcony, dane
ing each measure with the JOY and grace
appropriate to their years.
Before the opening tones of the march
which brought them in the midst of the
guests who awaited them on the lawn q
young matron said, "Oh, | hope IL isn't
going to rain; | have never enjoyed any
thing more lovely than the Mayday
dances here last year" And Just then
the mistiest sort of shower came down
but not for long, and not a guest forsook
her station on the lawn to view the pretty
drills and dances from beneath roof

home, not daring to trust the threatening
skies.
The cleared space beneath the big tree
on the lawn was filled during the Indian
CLUB drills, the proper amount of space
between the girls necessitating plenty of
room for the excellent preliminary setting
up exercises. A prettier company of girls
could not be found than these. They ale
young people from the very best homes,
charming in both appearance and manner,
and their programme yesterday and their
sweetness as they gave it delighted every
body.
There were both little girls and big
girls in the drills. Scanning the com
pany in their white MILDLY suits and each
with a wreath of pink roses to confine hef
hair, it was interesting to ncte the con-
trasts, grave, earnest young persons with
studious mien and earnest effort to please
and plump little girls all mirth and laugh
ter; a slender blond girl there was with
fetching grace and frequent smiles, as she
watched her director. There was the lit
tie round faced girl In spectacles, having
a better time than anybody, and the little
lass with red hair whose chubby body
bent and swayed with surprising grace for
one of her few merry years of dancing.
Then there was the beautiful black haired
girl whose pink halo matched the cheeks
to whom exercise had given a wild rose
flush, and lent additional brightness to her
eyes. Girls there were whose hair was
twined in a psyche around which was

MRS. HUGH MONTGOMERY
ENTERTAINS AT TEA

Mrs. Hugh Montgomery introduced her
guest Mrs. Herbert o. Miller, yesterday
at delightful afternoon tea. The event
was altogether informal and included
but - of the hostess friends, but was
one of the most graceful courtesies ex-
tended to visitor during the season.
Mrs. Montgomery's home was decorated
for the tea hour in pink blossoms, wis
terra and greenery. The tea table was
covered with cluny lace through which
81 lining of pink satin showed in mar
mony with the shade of the enchantress
carnations in the center The candles
which burned beneath rose tinted shades
and the bonbons emphasized the color
motif. Mrs John B. Danforth and Mrs.

A Pie Crust Recipe

For the young girl asking for directions
for pie crust l send the recipe use, as we
can't afford to use butter: Three table
spoons, level, of lard, three tablespoons
of water, one-half teaspoon level of sa;s
II you wis hit to rise add one-half tea
spoon level of mbaking powder. Mix
these in flour with spoon until thcl,
enough to roll out for the pan. The lard
should be mixed in a tea cup of sifted
-four before the water is added. This
amount is enough for one covered pie
Have lard, water and flour as cold as
fresh water from the well can make them
This will keep one from getting too much
-four in. which makes the crust less rich
also tough. F.. H"

Reading for the Blind

I wish to say In reference to reading
for the blind. that particular instruction
is needed, as the letters are made by a
series of dots and these dots do not bear
any relation to our printed letters There
are a few books printed in what is called
the Zine print" but even these are in
comprehensive to work hardened fingers
If the coored man in question should re-
ceive instruction in point reading all
raised boks would not be legible to him.
Unfortunately, there are three STYLES of
blind print, the English. Braille, the
American Braille, and the New York
Point, which are not similar. It is as if
person who could read English We're
given a box in German. The people most
interested are trying to have It confined
to one type, but not much has been done
as yet. S. B."

That Bonaparte was impetuous in his
love is shown in a letter he wrote on
foreign soil, when he was winning vic
tories for France. MY wife does not

her in Paris. Curse all women."
Josephine was the daughter of a French
lieutenant, and was born at Martinique
in 1853. When she was Is years old she
married Vicomte Beauharnais. The union
was not happy. Her husband was be-
headed during the French revolution. In
1896 Josephine, the pretty Creole widow,
met the brilliant, penniless young Corsi-
can officer, Napoleon Bonaparte.
Josephine was the foremost love OF
his life He adored her from the moment
they met. When they were married
Josephine was 81 and Bonaparte was 2e
While he was in Egypt he heard she had
captured the heart of M. Charles, mill
tary dandy. Bonaparte, in jealous fury,
rushed back to Paris swearing he would
divorce her Josephine wept and vowed
she was innocent of even the mildest
Irritation In 1909 he divorced her ana
married Marie Louise of Austria, seeking
to strengthen his position by more ao-
vartageous marriage. From the moment
of the divorce oddly enough, Napoleon s
star began to set. Josephine died In lsl4'
having outlived her husbands greatness
and having witnessed his downfall.
