WON EMS SCHEDULE
AT THE Y. M. c. A.

Miss Margaret Richart, physical
director and swimming instructor OF

to self expression. The class will af-
ford every girl an opportunity to at
tain ease. poise, beauty of form and
movement, thus learning expression
of the spiritual, mental and physical
side of life, harmoniously developed.
This class will be something entirely
new at the "Y" and may be taken in
addition to the regular gymnasium
work.

class of the evening and a compe-
tent teacher is being secured to pre-
vail in the kitchen of the Y. M. c.

hour and many are expected to
learn the elements of the cutlery
art. A small additional fee will be
