ATTRACTIVE EXHIBIT
At ]. N. HIGH SCHOOL
MODEL DINING ROOM DONE by
GIRL STUDENTS INTERESTS
VISITORS.

The model dining room, complete in
every detail and the handiwork of
girls of the domestic arts course of the
John Marshall High school. is proving
olaI of the NEST interesting exhibits
which is on display for the benefit OF
the host Of educators from various Sec
tons of the United States. The room
is most attractive as 1t stands. but
when the guides explain that all of
the work was done by pupils. by girls
In fact, with the exception of the buffet
and the dining table. the visitors stare
in incredulity and then--well. they just
go into ecstacies.
Decorations for the furnishing of the
room were first designed by the art
classes, then the manual arts pupils
got busy, and after calcimining the
walls they stenciled the designs, around
the border. painted the woodwork
waxed the floor, and hung the soft cur
tains.
These are also stenciled In a design
similar to that on the wall border.
The furniture. built by the frstyear
pupils in the manual training depart
ment. was then moved in and orna-
nented with beaten leather mats and
beaten copper bowls and tea stands
which had been made by the girls
The color scheme of the room is n
soft attractive shade of light brown
or dark cream color. with the stenciling
done in a slightly darker shade. The
furniture is of the mission type. dark
in color, and is tastefully adaptable to
the general plan of the room.
This exhibit is proving one of the
most interesting displays which the
local school department has arranged
for the visitors, and 1t has attracted
general comment around the horef fob-
bies and the convention halls. Every
one who has seen the display has given
1t and those who made 1t possible I'M
stinted praise.

To act safe, rapid and crtsine relief

HOTEL CLERKS
Are to Hold a State Convention
at Parkersburg the Last
of December.

PARKERSBURG, Nov. lip. j.

known hotel clerks Of West Virginia,

rangements with clerks of the local

West Virginia Association Of Hotel
Clerks which will be held here Decem-
Der 80 and 81.
The meeting of the hotel clerks

gram for the occasion will be arrang-
ed, details of which are now under
way. There will be various enter
tainments for the clerks, and a large
number of them from over the state
and invited .'greeters" from other
states will be accompanied by their
wives and families.
The West Virginia Association in
the last two or three,years has grown
to a large membership with nearly
every clerk In West Virginia as a
member.
One feature of the meeting to be
held here will be the presence Of
James R. Stokes, president of the ma.
tional association, of the Continental
hotel, Of Philadelphia. HIS being
here will lend an interest to the meet
ing that will attract probably every
clerk in West Virginia.
The local hotels are in co-opera-
tion with the clerks and expect to
give them entertainment while in the
city that will make the meeting a
memorable one.
Headquarters will be at the Mon
roe hotel WHARF, the clerks will regis
ter and be assigned to their respective
places Of abode during the meeting.

"A rainy day Is tresome" replied daddy, "o II tell you q very cneeEAU

"Way Off in Brazil" began daddy, "the frefies arer regarded as very wax

live, and then when the people give garden parties they let the frehies hy
around to give them fanyNke light.
Zone evening at one of these parties were two little American girls. The
frehies heard them talking about America. They said they loved America
far more than Brazil, and the things they cared fol above all else In Brazil
were the frehies. OF course GU al imagine how proud and pleased the fire
flies were. They listened to still nor of the conversation OF the two little
girls and found out they were sailing with their mother o a big teame Tor
America. The frefies decided to &C along too.
"They stayed in their swamp until the sailing day came, and then they
hid themselves back OF a lot of unused camp stools m the ship. OF course
the trip was veyu uncomfortable for them, but they made the best o it. At
last it wa over and the freftes, unseen followed the little girls to their home.
"Of course the little girls gave a party SOC after they got home for all
their small friends. They told them about the lovely frefies of Brazil, when,

cried, Now We ar home in America, and we have the frehies from Brazil?
And you may be sure the hrehies were happy, too, with the success Of
their surprise"
