The pupils enter at a door In tha wast and of tha room and pass tnalda a railing, picking up aa they enter a email tray and napkin from a- pile that atanda Just Inside tha door. They pass along the oounter selecting what they waet, getting a ticket for the amount at the and of tha counter, where they pasa on to ona of the tables. The ta bles, stools and other furniture are of that old mission style that adds an at tractive and artlstio appearance to the room which would be rather "barny" with light furnishings. Each table ac commodates about 20 young people, and as they fathered around these tables about 200 boys and girls all with good, healthy appetites and plenty of healtnful food to sstlsiy tnem, it wouia do nsra to Imagine a finer slgnt. i Tha matter that Interested the com tnittee most, next to the character of the food provided, was tna cnaracier oi tha food selected by the pupus, ana there was so much Individuality ais played that before the 200 had gotten xairiv started down in line ins cuur mlttee found Itself displaying wide eyed, open-mouthed interest in every tray that presented itself for checking.

Thla la a aerloua subject and one that la too little spoken of either in our tnaaaalnaa nr In our mother ClUDS. Wl are aowing tha wind because we ars failing to teach our children tha aa cradneas of tha Ufa principle. We are auraly reaping tha whirlwind whan we ri mir rhllitran to reformatory man- others took their entlro lunch from the (nunter. some selecting the plain foods ana .hose things that naturally harmon ise, while others were utterly reckless regarding the fitness of things, and it was a regrettable tact mat tne gins showed far lens judgment in tne se lection of their food than the boys. AS a ml. It was tha alrls who took the plea and the cream puffs, and tha hoys who took the soup and meat pies. Each day the menu la changed, but the ona given is a lair average. But there were more things to learn from this school .lunch than the kind or food that is served or eaten, ana per bans one of the most surprising was tha anna and rapidity With Which this large number or people was served ana the fine conduct of the young people in the rather trying position of waiting their turn when tney were nungry ana imnatlenUy noticing the very things thev had set their hearts on vanishing Ibefore the "nrst-come-flrst-served" rule. Not an unkind word was exchanged, not a push, a shove or a rude act Just a- well-behaved company of youthful American citizens. Then - came the social comradeship of tha meal, the social relaxation under the most refined and safe conditions not sitting In pairs in obscure corners eating cold lunches and enjoying unobserved tete-a-tetes, but every surrounding calcu lated to uplift and encourage the pupil. Like all these things, however, they must be in the hands of the right peo ple and in the whole Bcheme of this KChool lunch the refined personality and parental care of Mr. and Mrs. Gage, who have charge of it, is visible. Few Infractions have occurred among tha pupils during the lunch, and at yet those that have have needed only the gentle word or kindly act to aet them right train. VVnilO aa yet in roruana mm icnuui lunch Is in but an experimental stage. If It proceeds as the committee of club women found It beginning, Its fu ture success is assured.

The traveling galleries are making a great record this year. The art com mittee have three in the field. The third one was placed in our hands by the Chicago Water Color club Decem ber 1, and is a fine collection of 45 paintings. This gallery is now in Wis consin, the western gallery in Missouri, and the eastern gallery In Florida. If you would kindly give this route In the next Keystone I believe it would be helpful to. the eastern clubs. This east ern gallery is the finest we have ever sent out It will pass through South Carolina early in January, visiting four towns, then to North Carolina, Virginia, ueiaware, Pennsylvania, west Virginia, and Kentucky, where 28 towns have asked for tha gallery, though I feel sure that the time will not permit of so many, and we hope that several towns will be able to combine and hold tha exhibition together in Kentucky. The last stopping place is Ohio, reach ing Chicago the first of Jutffe. The paintings will then be turned to the artists who have kindly leaned them. ft ft ft RS.
