When Mr. and Mrs. 0. C. Thomas
left for the States last fall they asked
the favor of storing their pianola at
the W inch Dormiutory in the care of
Miss Hines, telling her to allow the
older girls to play it when she tho’t
best. Thera is a case of 67 rolls of music
with it, among which are many good
selections. The girls greatly enjoy
having this fine musical instrument to
use, and wo ail greatly appreciate the
kindness of our friends in leaving it
with as.

It is our custom to hare frequent
parties for our young people. M i "S
Hines had b-en planning; for some
thing; of the kind foi weeks, but ill
ness of two of the boys prevented the
carrying out of her plans. ^ hen the
boys reoovernd she decided to tnake
the ocoasion of the gathering a recep
tion for Mr. and Mrs. JiVillie Robert
son .
The girls asked for and secured the
privilege of setting the date fpr the
ptrty and arranging the i(Joins, Miss
Hums promised not to look into the
rooms till the evening of the party.
She invited the guests and when the
evening arrived the girls called her
into the room and conducted her to a
seat on a little platform. Then a
number of girls dressed as fairies with
wands in there bands tripped into the
Timm, to the music of the pianola,
bowed and saluted her with wamisag
they passed. Again and again they
circled around doing her obeisance
She then realised that she wag the
honored one, for it was the evening
of ttaeHth of March, her birthday.
Some very amusing pantorainee
were performed and games followed
one another so rapidly there was not
ono dull messsut. The credit of the
jolly entertainment is due Maggie
Masur, who is very clever in arrang
ing such things. When refreshments
were served, a beautiful birthday
cake, the work of Mrs Gregory's skil
full hands, was brought iu ablaze
with caudles.
