Recital Given at Brenau by Miss
PyIes
A recital that will take precedence
among list of many at Brenau Col
lege, is that given recently by Miss
Katharine Pyles. The merit of the
young vocalist was evidenced in the
true praise received by her from each
faculty member, and her popularity
by the many beautiful flowers, the
latter including gorgeous bouquet
of roses from her fraternity, Alpha
Gamma Delta. The composure and
gracefulness of Miss Pyles on the
stage, along with her splendid enun-
citation and Interpretation were char
acteristics that mark the recital as
being by far one of the best in the
history of the college. Her program
was intensely interesting, the several
groups of we'll selected songs being
beautifully rendered.
- Miss Pyles was accompanied on the
piano by Mr.. Stewart, who with her
/ instructor, Mr.. Bonawitz, was heard
in this city in recital last winter.
! Miss Neel Boyce, fraternity sister,
assisted Miss Pyles and ushering
were Misses Lois Dame, Leslie
Weathers and Elizabeth Shepard.
After the recital Misses Mildred
Pyles and Lois Dame entertained at
an informal tea, honoring the talent
ed young musician.
For her recital Miss Pyles looked
particularly lovely in all white, wear
ing crepe meteor, prettily fashioned.
The only touch of color was the
sweet pea corsage bouquet worn.

Essay of Champion Club Girl

The following is quoted from the
essay written by Miss Petite De-
Shong of Hillsborough county, the
champion canning club girl for 1914,
submitted to the public in one of the
bulletins, published by the state
school for women at Tallahassee:
at is my intention to stay on a
farm because farm life is the most
independent life any one can lead. Be-
sides, every girl and boy should
know a great deal about the soil,
plants and nature. This is why
| joined the club.
Another reason 1 joined the club
is that it gave me way of making
my own money at home, and in the
club I may get the education and
viewpoint necessary for the ideal
farm life.
"On July 18th, my Ito acre was
cleared and broken up. so cents
worth of turnip seed were planted.
They were ready for sale in six
weeks. With very little work sold
4
penses were $3.50, including time and
fertilizer; profit s12.70. I then rails
ed crop of hay. After being cut and
dried, it weighed 125 pounds"
/ Petite reports that, besides her
club work, 100 glasses of jelly and 70
bottles of catsup had been put up for
home use.
"One way the club work has help
ed me, is that I've learned more about
the soil, plants, and nature. Another
way, made my own money at home.
I'm now at college in Tallahassee. If
the club had not reached home /
would not have had this opportunity.

Tallahassee, two years ago. Ever
since l have been planning to come
back, so now | am here enjoying col
lege life"

NAVAL SPECTACLE IS
WATCHED BY THOUSANDS

A naval touch to the Grand Army
Encampment was added yesterday
when a string Of war vessels steam
ed into Georgetown channel and drop
ped anchor Off the shore of Potomac
Park. Thousands were attracted tc
the water front during the afternoon
a score of launches darting over the
river at full speed to accommo odate
the sightseers who would board the
battleships.
Probably the most awesome of the
vessels was the mine layer Dubuque
which, in its coat of war-gray paint
stood out in grim contrast to its three
white companion ships. A slight haze
one the water rather augmented the
imagery, and when a seaman appear
er against the skyline to wigwag from
the Dubuque, a thrill ran through the
crowd:
The first vessel in the line. from the
Highway Bridge, was the Sylph:
standing near was the Mayfower. then
the Dubuque and the fast dispatch
boat Dolphin. At the far end of the
channel and hugging the shore were
the three torpedo boats Barney. Bid

kins, absent from the line yesterday.

report its findings and recommendations
either at the next quarterly meeting of
the association. which will be called in
a downtown hotel. or at a special meet
ing of the board Of governors.
Attention was called to the fact that
coupons are in the same category with
trading stamps. the use of which is un-
lawful in the District. and it was the
conviction of the governors present at
last nights meeting that vigorous steps
should be taken to test the legality of
coupons as handled by certain types of
chain stores.
The Retail Merchants Association also
decided to test the powers of the WASH
in%ton lighting companies to engage in
the sale of appliances. The association
has been informed that the local light
ing companies have not only exceeded
the powers vested in them by their char
terS. but that in the sale of appliances
have so cut the price-even below COST
