Two Grand pianos stand at the farther end of the room and a huge table occupies the center, while the chairs and divans match in color ana material. MISS ftOWley, DeSlUeS nel own splendid work in artistic circles has educated her two talented and clever nieces, Marguerite and Edith Walker lWeaver, in their professions chosen. Mar guerite has occupied with honor and credit position in the public schools
 for the past few years and Edith, who is unusually pretty an very attractive makes her bow to the public this winter as reader. a teacher of expression and physical culture. Miss Rowley certainly ] is one of Birningham's s successful women who is appreciated by every body
