The Junior program given last week
was patriotic the whole way through

a very interesting theme.

been sole occupants of the CONNER
cial room had spring house clean

their worldly possessions to seats in

their comfortable seats in the COM

Servants as Hosts.

A curious custom exists in the town
of Port of Spain, in the island of Trim
idnd. Every year the servants, who
are all black, give II grand ball for
their masters and mistresses. The
Princes building, n huge place where
all public entertainments are held, is
engaged, and everything is done in the
best style. There are two halls for
dancing, one for the servants and the
other for their guests, both Of which
are beautifully decorated.
The best band In the island is en-
gagged, and the guests are given IA
champagne supper. Etiquette is very
strict and precedence rigidly observed
by the servants, the governors butler
and his lady going in before the chief
Justices groom, and so on.
