She brought together a charming group of about forty girls, with several of their mothers, Whose courtesies were pleasantly acknowledged by the hostess. Professor Burnam, of the University of Cincinnati, gave a talk at the school recently, Showing about thirty fac-simiIe manuscripts.

22 THE ACORN PERSONALS Three very interesting engagements have been announced recently: Kath- erine Block, 1911, to Mr. James J. Reis; Louise Collier, of Atlanta, Georgia, to Mr. Henry Stanton, of Cincinnati, and that of Pauline Workum to Mr. Ernest M. Ach, also of this city. This latter engagement was quite a surprise, as Miss Workum is still a college girl in her Sophomore year at Vassar. Louise Collier was a guest at Oakhurst residence quite recently and had two lishowers given in her honor. It will give her friends in this city the great- est pleasure to welcome this charming girl to her new home when she returns, a bride, in September. We extend to the three girls our warmest congratulations and earnest good wishes. Miss Florence Benedict has returned to her work after a leave of absence of three months. Her coming was a cause of great jubilation, and she must have had much happiness in finding herself so welcomed. ! ! Henrietta Jones is at home once more after a winter spent at Wolf, Wyom- ing, on the Eaton ranch. She has added a few pounds to her weight, and has absorbed much of the ttstrength of the hills. SCHOOL EVENTS Miss Mary Stone, of the mountain school at Hindman, Kentucky, was a welcome visitor in February. She was making her annual tour in behalf of the noble work that is being done at Hindman for the mountain children. The Juniors and Freshmen gave two delightful little plays after Easter. It was 21 Hawthorne Pageant, the plays, HIn Witchcraft Days and Merry Mount, were written by Constance DiArCy Mackay, and were very attractive. The hrst play was introduced by a prologue, UMuse of Hawthorne? recited with charming effect by Frances Harmon. The cast included the Junior Class and Helen Allen.

As the railroad train was stopping, an old lady, not accustomed to traveling, hailed the passing conductor and asked: Conductor, what door shall I get out by ?it uEither door, Maiamj' graciously answered the conductor.

The little son of the minister, at Sunday dinner, said at the family table: Father, I wish I could be ta doorkeeper in the House of the Lord: as you said this morningfl Indeed? said the minister-father, with a pleased look across the table at his wife. ttYesfi said the boy, nfor then I wouldnt have to listen to the sermon.U COULDN'T FOLLOW HIM.

A visitor from New York to the suburbs said to his host during the afternoon: By the way, your front gate needs repairing. It was all I could do to get it open. You ought to have it trimmed or greased or something. ttOh, no? replied the owner. KiOh, no, thafs all right.n uWhy is it all right ?'i asked the visitor. ttBecauseIi was the reply, every one who comes through that gate pumps two buckets of water into the tank on the roof.
