From her splendid playing at the Forum we easily know “Sa- die's forte is .music, in which she intends to specialize at Xew York Fni versify. For success along that line—well, we scarcely need to wish it to her. ‘ Hoc it ft ensh n i ct Jx crimson in th, li n and in ift 1 cheeks. EMILY CATHERINE DOAVXEY “ 7 m.

All of her time is not spent in sports, however, for she finds time to make use of her fingers, perhaps this skill fulness of lingers will account for the fact that sev- eral of the boys in the Highlands had hand- knit sweaters this summer.
