Celebrate st. Agnes Day.

The feast of st. Agnes has always
been red letter day at Villa de
Chantal, and the festivities that
marked it's celebration, yesterday,
were a convincing proof that the
girls of 1920 are jealous in uphold
ing the traditions of the school.
In the afternoon program was
given by the various classes. One
of the best numbers was little
drama, "The Dolls Hospital" by
the minims. The ease and intelli-
gence displayed by the small &C
tors, in their respective roles,
showed that dramatization is a fea-
ture of their daily Rotations.
At the conclusion of the enter
tainment, the school, through it's
chosen representative, Miss Mar
garet M. Shields, presented Mother
Agnes a handsome memento of the
day.
Festivities were continued in the
evening. The entertainers were the
members of the French class and
the juniors of the school. After a
greeting to the guest of homer,
Mother Agnes, by Miss Beth Brad
ley, a synopsis Of the French play
La Lettre Chargee," was read for
the benefit OF those not familiar
with the language. This, with the
graphic PRESERVATION of the charac-
tiers made the little comedy easy of
comprehension even to the unini-
tiated.
The juniors appeared in "The
Kleptomaniac," a society farce, and
scored as marked a success as the
cast of the French play.
