school was the scene yesterday of
 S one of the most thoroughly appre- ciated entertainments ever given by that institution, as in all the leading colleges for women these May dances are eagerly anticipated

 The lawn with trees and flowers formed a classic setting for girls simply clad in white, wearing wreathes of pink rose buds who filed down the steps keeping step to the music
 The first number of the programme was a military seetting up exercise" by the entire school
 The primary children, in dainty white frocks wearing pink and blue shases and rosebud wreathes, executed a most at tractive Marching Calisthenics."
 ''The Sunbeams," Polka by the interme- diates, and the Aesthetic Waltz" by the high school, were well planned to show the grace of the pupils.
 A oW6ulSu lOih Nd1C6f blehlus, bS the tiny tots, delighted the audience.
 The gay sashes and head dress of the girls in the Spanish dance, La Mancha, !" added artistic bits of color to the scene. Thirty-two high school girls in cam paign hats and wearing patriotic badges on their white mlddy suits led by Mir Miles in full uniform of captain with won- derful precision went through the intrica- cies. of the military drill, Doing Our Bit" as it was called.
