Mis* Bently gave an exhibition other
garden pupils recently. The eltiss con­
sisted of tweuty-four little g;rls, rang­
ing ill age from twelve to fifteen, and
representing almost every European
country. Their long, white pinafores,
tinted muslin cap», ami prim little ties
gave them an appearance that was very
refreshing. They entered the room in
single tile to a military march, carrying
miniature tallies and boxes. Ill the lat­
ter were linen, cutlery and small table
furniture. Brought to a halt, Mias
Bently put the little housewives through
a catechism of domestic literature.
from which the following quotations
were caught:
“How often should a room be
swept?’’
••Thoroughly one«* a week,”answered
a w« c bit of a S\ve«ie with a voief big­
ger than h«*rs»*lf.
“V\ hat kind »«f a broom is best for ibv
corners am! e*lg«*s »»f a room?”
“Whisk broom,” sang out a mail!
w ith y»*llow pig-tails, w ho aet*ined to I»«*
having her throat sawed by the vvell-
laundervil lie iimlcr her chin.
“Why is a «lust rag better than a
fentiier duller?”
••Becan»«* the feathers scatter the dust
instead of gathering it,” and such
queries <»t »iuiilar practicality.
After this part of th«* nrograinm»* th«*
girls took out their little table cloths,
the piano struck up a series of popular
tunc» am! the board was spread in a
manner that was calculated to charm
an epicurean.
Before the little beds were made the
class had an «>ral recitation, on«* ques­
tion l»t ing: “What thre«* tilings nr«*
n«*cessary for nice bed making?
Th«*
answer lx*ing: “Level mattress, sin -oih
clothes ami square corners.” Then the
imittr« s»«*s vv« r«* w hipped into shape,
the pillows knocked in form and iu an
incredibly short time even bed was a»
Hat as the nap on a fifteen-dollar ulster,
am! the children retired under a mur­
mur of applause. On their return they
carried trays, with which they went
through a series of pretty man«*uvers,
th«* words b»*ing suggested by th»» trio
in “Patience.”
Dianes wer«* washed,
and after the place was “tidied up,”
brooms were used f«»r an exercise in
calisthenics, it is needless to sav that
the exhibition was enthusiastically re­
eeived.
The little girls have b«*»*n uii -
der the instruction of Miss Benl|«*y for
the last two years, the school session
being held Saturdays only. As soon as
her pupils have complete«! the pre­
scribed course it is th.«* 1« acher s inten­
tion to provid»* each graduate with a
position in some first-class family,
where the intelligence of tin* girl will
