Domestic Science Exhibit.

A tour of the third story of the
high school Friday morning with a
visit to the domestic science room,
where Miss Gahagan, the capable
teacher and members of her classes
were receiving visitors. Long tables
were spread with garments-large
and small, which were cut and made
by the pupils. Neatness and good
taste were displayed and the attrac-
tive line of ''ready-to-wear'' gar
ments was sufficient evidence that
needle craft as an art, is thoroughly
taught in the high school. Not all
the articles were plain sewing;
dainty embroidery and pretty old
fashioned hemstitching were used
on many garments, and exceedingly
we'll done.

Off for Summer Work.

: Mrs. ,Rebecca Elliston Johnston of
Centenary will leave early in June
for Cincinnati with a party of young
ladies who will take summer
course in the celebrated Conserva-
tory OF Music. The party will en-
brace Mrs. Johnston's talented
young daughter, Miss Clara Bauer
Johnston, Miss Gilbert of Rayville
Misses Ruth Mccain and Lillian
Holland of Greensburg, Misses Jane
and Matte Montgomery, Miss Julia
Elston will probably join Mrs. john
ston's party. Under the excellent
chaperonage of Mrs. Johnston whose
ambition for the girls will be con-
tinual inspiration in their work, and
whose companionship and advice
will be invaluable, the summer will
pass most pleasantly and probably.
Mrs. M. S. Gill, whose studio has
been filled with students the past
season, will close her work for the
summer soon, and leave for Chi
cage, where. she will take up special
lines of art work. Mrs. ellis china
painting and water colors, so much
admired, are found in many homes
in the city, where only rare and
beautiful things are tolerated. AT
the annual State Fair Mrs. ellis
cases OF china are among the most
admired of all the beautiful work
displayed. We may be sure that she
will thoroughly enjoy the studio
work with artists in an art center,
and that she will return with new
and beautiful ideas of work to inn
part to her pupils in the fall.

Where the pools are bright ant

Where the gray trout lies asleep,

Where the blackbird sings the

Where the nestlings chirp and flee

Where the hay lies thick and green

Where the hazel bank is steepest,
Where the shadow falls the deepest,
Where the clustering nuts fall free,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Why the boys should drive away,
Little sweet maidens from their

Or love to banter and fight so we'll,

But this l know, l love to play,
Through the meadow, among the
