BRINK HAVEN SCHOOL NOTES

The weather again favoring out.of-
door sports, the boys basketball
teams are once more contesting with
each other for the championship of
the school. The girls are enthusias-
tic roOters on the side lines, and
their cheers inspired the boys to
further victories.
The report cards are out for the
second time this term and as usual
the interest shown among the pupils
over them is very intense. On whole
the work being done by the pupils is
very good. They are realizing that
they, and not the teacher, give them
selves the grades and are manifesting
keen desire to do their best in ev-
cry thing.
The Upper and intermediate room
pupils have been divided into two
junior and senior Literary Societies,
the Williards and Demosthenians.
The first program will be given by
the Demosthenians. Friday evening,
Nov. 10, at the school building. The
public is cordially invited to attend.
A small admission fee will be
charged.
The number of visits being paid
the school by the parents and those
interested in the work of the pupils
is comparative small to what it
should be. More interest should be
shown in the school and this mani
tested by visits to the school, Once
more the teachers extend a cordial
invitation to the parents and public
to visit the school and witness the
work being done there.
The number of cases of hardness is
much higher than it normally should
be and the teachers are making an
earnest effort to bring these down to
the minimum. 1t would be great
help to them and duly appreciated if
each parent would see that his chill
dren are at school on time and as
regularly as possible.

! HOME LIFE AND INTEREST

FRIGHTENING A ROOM

When a bedroom or small dressing
room is papered with anything but a
plain or neutral paper. bright colored
or flowered cretonnes should never be
used. Often a little color is needed to
add tone or brightness to the room,
and in a case of this kind one of the
new bedspreads, which are so pretty
and easily made. are just the thing to
give the room the necessary touch OF
color.
Select a plain white spread of good
quality and rather heavy in texture.
Cut from cretonne bunch of roses
a spray of gay-colored flowers or a
basket of birds and haste one in each
corner with larger one for the cen
ter. Sew these to the spread and
finish the raw edges with fine
feather stitch or with long and
short buttonhole stitch.
This idea can also be carried OUT
for scarfs to cover the dresser. Make
the scarf of linen cut to fit the tor
of the furniture and finish the edges
with scallop or hem. this to be fin.
ished with the stitch that was used or
the spread. Cut ont the. flowers and
applique scarf.
