night of March IS. II was indeed
quite contrary. OF the 55 Whining
ton women who had enrolled in
these classes in January. Al were
present last night. More than SIS
pcr cent OF those completing the
course were present 100 per cent.
OF the time. The reason these mill
/ linery classes were continued five
nights beyond the closing OF the
regular evening school, was because
this work was not begun until Feb
ruary 1.
Every woman received instruction
In how to make "A hat and how to
remodel one. and many OF the
women. when the last night came.

made or remodeled as the evidence

Mr.. Benjamin Johnson, Wilmington,
Del.
Dear Slr-We, the undersigned,
earnestly request that you use your
efforts in granting to the women Of
Wilmington the privilege of attend
ing a fall millinery class similar to
the class which is just closing. We
feel that we have had a very profit
able course and are desiring Of at
tending a like class this fall. AS we
feel that we have completed only
one-half Of the course we would like
to finish, IL and ask that the present
students be given preference in en-
rollment. should there be a fall
class, and respectfully request that
Miss Moseley be our teacher.
Respectfully yours,
SPRING MILLINERY CLASS.
