 COMPLIMENT BRIDE-ELECT

One of the prettiest and most in- teresting social affairs of the season was the miscellaneous shower given by the Fidelis Glass of the Baptist Sunday School with Miss Kathleen Williams as hostess experimenting Miss Ruth Mosley, bride-elect, on Thursday afternoon June 9th.
 The guests were met at the door by the hostess who received in her charming and gracious manner. For the occasion the reception room and dining room were thrown together and the decorative scheme in pink and white was very effectively car ried out.
 The guests wrote their favorite recipe in the Brides Book. An im- promptu program was enjoyed by all, especially the piano solo by Miss Eva Moore and vocal solos by Miss Margaret McMurtrey.
 Much laughter and excitement was enjoyed by all save the fair hon. oree when all marched around chair while the hostess played Here Comes the Bride" to determine who would be the next bride. Miss Eva Moore was the lucky one.
 The guests then interviewed the fortune teller who was stationed in the dining room. Her readings were very amusing, predicting for some marriage, some never, some soon ev- en as soon as the Fourth of July.
 A very interesting game of pro- gressive housekeeping in which Mrs. Lena Reed won the prize.
 The guests were then invited into the dining room where Mrs. c. C.. McMurtrey-May as toastmistress in her sweet and impressive manner toasted the bride-elect who respond ed eloquently.
 The bride was then given a basket and told to search the house and whatever she found was hers. She came back smiling with her basket heaped with lovely gifts. After seeing the many handsome presents the guests departed.
 Those present were: Eva Moore, Birdie Thomasson, Lena Reed, Will lie Moore, Willie Haskins, Birdie Lain, Kate Overton, Margaret Me Murtrey, Cecille Cope, Kathleen Williams, Manetta Williams, Mary Williams, Ruth Mosley, Esther Mos ley, and Mrs. Jim Mosley.

 There have been a good many stories of undisturbed calm on the part of actors when it took courage and good nerves to be calm; but not often has whole company shown the control that was displayed during a performance of Sally" the other night. While the whole last scene was being played, firemen were fighting flames in a property room, and the entire company was stopping through water half an inch deep to reach the stage and their dressing rooms. The audience sat in utter ignorance of the drama behind the scenes.

CLEVELAND COUNTY
 TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Rison, Arkansas June 27 to July 1.

We set the date of the Institute later than usual this year at the suggestion of some of the rural teachers who wanted time to finish up their crops. We feel that by this date all farm work should be far enough along to enable all to ar range to attend the full time which is FIVE DAYS. There seems to be an impression that teachers are ex- pected to attend only three days, but he law says plainly hat they shall attend five. Many of the best teach CTS after years of training and ex- perience feel that they need to go away each year to summer schools. If our best teachers feel that way ten surely some of us who have not had these advantages would be rather presumptuous and conceited to think we didn't need to attend even the County Institute for the full five days. Many teachers are either sick CD or have sick folks about Institute time. I hope you wont feel that way this year. We can not make the Institute a success without your help and we are doing all we can to make it worth your time and money. The Department of Education is sending Professor Will son here to conduct it, and the county board of Education is generously paying expenses of Miss Lena Moore to direct the Primary work. Both these teachers are experts in their line and are abe to do us much good if we will only come and work with them. But they can't help you if you are not here. Board for the week can be had in private homes in Rison for the full week at very small cost. We will begin early and work intensively until noon and then have the afternoon for rest, recreation and visitation among our friends.
 If any teacher has any suggestion to make in regard to the manage ment of the Institute will you kind ly let me know, I will consider it personal favor if you will do so.
