For instance, one question was"A epotin the wocdajto have knowledge of," the answer being "Delaware." Another. "A male ; a box ; to do wrong. Manchester." This past time ' never fails to interest old and young, and such adepts were these young misses in guessing that every name on the list was discovered by each. After lunch had been served Martha Baldwin in a very appropriate and sweet manner, in behalf of the class, pre sented their teacher with a very pretty picture in pastel. Mrs. Brooks was quite overcome, but answerea as oniy one can who has the love and good of her class at heart and appreciates their affection for her. At the close of the afternoon all joined in singing, with Emily Cros sen as pianist. During the afternoon Mrs. Brooks took a number of pictures of her guests, which will be cherished by each one the more as the years go by The members of the class are : Misses. Stella Jackson.
