The Ledger Contest was a popular subject for weeks, and in the end, as was to be expected, West Catholic walked off with the laurels! Glowing with happiness over their first feat, the girls continued their brilliant work. The Doll Contest was a lovely affair. Then the exhibition! Slips, the first efforts of the inexperienced: dressesfffsport frocks, simple affairs for street wear, a few evening gowns---fmade the display one of beauty. There is happiness ahead for the student who has become learned in the art of sewing. She is competent, eco' nomical, and intelligent in regard to her dressmaking. She will walk in beauty because her clothing will inevitably bear the stamp of individuality. Success to these girls whose gallant efforts have been rewarded so splendidly and divine recompense to the Sis' ters, Servants of the Immacualte Heart of Mziry, whose guidance they follow!

HE Foods Department, under the supervision of the Sisters, Servants of the lmmaculate Heart of Mary, is a well-developed feature of West Catholics curriculum. A long, white, well-kept room, fully equipped with everything necessary for the development of the culinary art, prof vides a suitahle hackground for the endeavors of West Catholie's youthful dietitians. But baking, frying, hroiling, and candyfmaking comprise only half of the activities of the students of Home Economics. The study of halanced diets, the relative value of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vita' mins, is an attempt to inculcate in the student a keener understanding of the scientific relations of foods. Plan' ning the menu for a luncheon and playing hostess provide variety. This involves another phase of Home Economics, one unconsciously associated with cookery tahle service-the study of which is facilitated hy the large, completely fur' nished living and dining rooms, which adjoin the cooking department.
