HOUSEHOLD ARTS EXHIBIT The annual reception and exhibit of the Domestic Arts was held in the latter part of May in the Domestic Science Department. The large room was most attrac- tive with a profusion of mountain flowers and evergreens. As the guests entered, they were served fruit punch and wafers by some of the girls in this department. 'File front of the room was «levoted to foods and cookery. Tables were covered with dishes of vegetables, sal- ads, cakes, pies and all the good things to appeal to one’s appetite. All the food was most tempting in its appear- ance and showed skill in its prepara- tion. Hanging around the walls and on tables in the rear of the room were the various articles of clothing made by the Domestic Art classes. The beautiful and various colored spring dresses and coats on first appearance were quite stylish and on close inspec- tion showed that they were neatly made and trimmed with dainty hand- work. A number of posters showing the value of foods, simplicity of dress and other phases of the work were displayed. The Home Economics Department has increased both in equipment and enrollment. Every day girls arc real- izing the need of proper training along this line. Here at the Mon- treat Normal is where she can attain that which she is seeking. Miss Mc- Girt, the efficient teacher in the de- partment, and her classes deserve much credit for the attractive exhib- its, which showed that the students had done a year of har«l work along these special lines.
