Spring was equally as charming in

the tune, Bonnie Lies Over the
Ocean,"
While admiring her flowers Mrs.
Noyes found that there was in the
basket a package which upon being
opened disclosed an exquisite string
of pearls which were the gift of her
pupils and their mothers. She was
very much surprised by this presen-

was very charming.
