the club but none more perfect in all the
appointments than this was; nothing that
could add to the pleasure or comfort of
the guests was left undone. In fact it
seems that each one of the club parties
surpasses the previous one.
The rooms of the club house SO well
adapted to an affair of this kind, were
deliberately as well as artistically decorated,
and were the outcome of days of thought
and labor on the part of the decorating COM

der New Schedule.

der New Schedule.
The College of the Sisters of
Bethany will open Thursday morning
for its first session since the closing
order went into effect in the latter
part of November. The school has
arranged to make up all the five weeks
it has lost thru the influenza cpl
denic. The college does not usually
open after the midwinter holidays un-
til January Z. but this year the open
ing of the school is set ahead one
week, and school will be held on Satur-
day, thus making the full five days
of school work before the regular be-
ginning time. Two more weeks of
tie lost time will be made up by hold
ing school every other Saturday. and
the remaining two weeks will be
gained by continuing the. school until
June 6 instead of June 2.
All the pupils are returning to
school, and a number of new students
are entering for the new semester,
making the attendance somewhat bet
ter than 100 per cent of the fall en-
roIlment. All the teachers who have
been away from the school during the
closing time are returning today
