Ind. There are lots of people Just
like her-people who can gaze un-
moved on the sun setting behind the
mountain top; who can gaze on the
dew sprinkled green of morning in
spring without the slightest quicken

ter you have gazed your fill on
Mantey's Hill il is ideal to step into
the beautiful little tea room there
and refresh yourself. The tea room
is octagonal in shape. and on all
eight sides are little easement win
dows half yeiled with soft dull Japa-
nese crepe. Blue rugs are on the
floor. The furniture is of wicker.
and is enameled white. The chairs
are deep and made Irresistible with
blue cushions. The little round ta-
bles will seat four and they are Gov
cred with blue and white doilies and
a service of blue and white china.
Baskets OF fern hang suspended from
the ceiling which is beamed and
painted white. The walls are cover
ed with blue crepe with a design OF
wild roses of faint pink shade. The
wicker window boxes are filled with
jonquils, daffodils and narcissus. and
tall Japanese vases filled with cherry
blossoms complete the picture. In
this lovely room you are served thin
chicken sandwiches and fragrant tea,
by pretty maids in white dresses and

tea room when you visited Mantey
Heights? Well, neither did l.. so

was there, just the same.
The school election was held in
Iona Monday. Henry Geary was
elected president OF the board, and
Clark Clayton secretary. 1t was
voted to continue the ninth and tenth
grades the coming year, and to con-
tinue with five teachers. as has
been the custom in late years.
The Community Life club met
Monday night and the canning fac
tory was discussed again. 1t was de-
cided that sufficient bean acreage
had been promised to warrant open
ing the factory and the probabilities
are that this will be done. We have
no desire to have the Midland Trail
ers wondering, as they go through
Iona, why that splendid looking
factory is lying idle. and you know
there would be some just curious
enough to wonder.
The sum of money earned by the
people taking part in Ye Village
Skewl will be used to beautify the
Presbyterian church. The interior
will be given a coat of soft tan
kalsonmine, and the outside will
probably be painted. The leak in
the roof will be mended, and the un-
screened windows made fly and mos
quito proof.
