There are So in the entering class at this
time which is fourteen more than were

about 25 less than the full enrolment.
This number will be considerably in

Eighteenth Annual Corn Roast

Between sixty and seventy students o.
Peoples Academy-member of the Senior
and Junior classes-and several of the
faculty, partook of the well-known hos.
pitality of Mr.. and Mrs. II L. Delano at
their pleasant farm home on the Elmore
mountain road last Saturday night. 1t
was the eighteenth annual corn roast
and as usual came as fitting opening of
the social events of the school year and
all present voted the occasion one long
to be remembered. As the party neared
the rocks at the foot of the mountain,
where the festivities were held, they were
pleasantly surprised to see the letters p.
A. shining forth from the darkness of the
mountain side Upon closer examination
it was found to be the haudiwork of their
host, who had carved the letters-jack-o-
lantern style-on the side of a mammoth
pumpkin, with regular sized lantern in
side. A large bonfire was built and all
the pleasure of real corn and apple
roast were enjoyed, after which the com-
pany returned to the house, where coffee
and doughnuts were served. A unani-
nous vote of thanks was given the
Delanos and the sentiment expressed that
these occasions continue, at least while
anyone present was able to attend.

Shuttlna Up the Shep.

1t is rather surprising to the foreign
er visiting South American countries
for the first time to find most of the
best and prettiest shops almost her
metically sealed at night. If the build
ing is of the older style of construc-
ton the heavy shutters are closed and
locked by iron bars; If more modern
building, the flexible sliding doors and
windows are completely drawn, and
the passerby can see nothing within
the shop.
All is darkness save the light of the
street lamps; no brilliantly lighted
windows help to add cheer and bright
ness to the street.
In European and American cities the
average merchant is willing to spend
money freely for nightly display of
his wares and merchandise. He real
ICES and appreciates the publicity.
The evening crowds upon our streets
are highly entertained and even In
structed by window displays of the
busy streets.
Herein lies the difference; for, as
q rule, the South American streets,
busy and attractive during the day,
are quite the reverse at night. Even
In some of the larger cities the old
custom of Theoretically sealing the
shop at night prevails.

BY the decisions of the geographic
board of Canada made in April and
May three "Trouts" are eliminated
from our list of place-names. Which
is well, because there are plenty Of
"Trouts" left, enough in fact to still
cause confusion.

son bay, in the Patricia district Of
northern Ontario, have been relieved
IF the name, Trout, and given that of
Sutton; lake and river In Saguenay

en- the Indian name, Matamek; and
4 third Trout disappears by calling
the river north of PontaI river, in
north Quebec, Opamwastik.
A river empties into James bay,
south of Eastman river, Mistassini
territory, Quebec, had been called
Sheep river. Its new name. is Miati-
xush, this Indian name meaning sheep.
In the new north these Indian
names seem particularly appropriate
most of them are euphoneous. and they
are associated with the traditions and
he history of the original population.

A clever petticoat of taffeta, made to
wear with full frocks of sheer mate
rails, substitutes a wide frill about the
hips for the hoop which is usually in
serted in a casing in the gown. 1t
has several points of advantage over
the hoop. The flare in the frill results
from the stiffness of the taffeta and is
supported by parallel corded tucks.
| The tucks are run In at two-inch inter-
walls and a cord is run in the narrow
hem which extends about the bottom
and sides of the frill.
The petticoat is finished with shall
low scallops about the bottom, outlined
with narrow frills which are extended
into rosettes. 1t Is shirred in at the
waistline to q bodice and fastens in
the back. The frill may be separate
and fastened on at the waistline with
snap fasteners, so that the petticoat
will serve for wear with other gowns
as well as those with a wide flare
about the hips. With frocks of this
character the frill is more graceful
| than the hoop and easier to manage. 1t
is acceptable to women who will not
go to the extreme of the hoop and is
especially effective with dancing
frOcks.
Taffeta is not the only silk used for
petticoats but is the best choice for
one of this particular kind. The Japa-
nese wash silks and crepe de chine
have steadily advanced in favor for
making under-garments. Aside from
the softness and luxury of silk it is
the easiest of fabrics to launder. Like
many fine, sheer cottons the soft, thin
silks are far more durable than they
look They are to be washed in luke
