In order that the classes in home
economics may also have practical
work, they gave tea Thursday after
noon in the class room. Each member
invited her mother, and if her mother
was unable to attend, she invited some
other friend. Most of the girls wore
| blouses or uniforms, which they had
made in class. They had on exhibition
canned goods and jelly, which they
had made in class. Miss Louise Van
Degrift, teacher in home economics,
gave the address of welcome, in her
most charming manner. Miss Dorothy
Bunting gave a reading 'The Husk-
ing" by Whittier. Miss Christine Nc
Carthy gave a most interesting and
instructive address on cotton. She eX-
planned that the material which they
had used was cotton, and then she
followed very capably and intelligent
ly, the cotton from the time the seed
is planted until it is woven into cloth.
Misses Alberta Derrickson and Audrey
Rogers sang a duet, accompanied by
Miss Eva Hickman, at the piano. Re-
freshments were then served. Miss
Van Degrift seated at a very artis-
tic tea table, poured the tea and the
girls of the class, in uniforms, with
their serving trays of dainties, which
they had prepared, made most in

thoroughly and feel that the girls and
