On Wednesday morning the same girls were seen at their school on Tenth and Couch streets, across from the Armory, busily engaged in mak ing hats, coats, dresses it happened to be ice cream in the cooking room that morning and if the visitors al lowed their delight to become apparent in this operation, they were rewarded with a taste.
