I . M A K (; A K K T S AC A I) K MY, NIINNKAPOUS, MINN. The Song of the Kettle Oh! the kettle sings on, seeming ever so gay, A l ig shining kettle enameled all white. And it sings through its nose forever and aye. A sweet song without words it sings alwav; A song that is friendly, and merry and bright. Oh, the kettle sings on, seeming ever so gay. Vet, sometimes the song has a touch of gray, A hint of sadness, though vague and slight. And it sings through its nose forever and aye. It’s tone is as gentle as leaves at play And it’s nose is exceeding plain to the sight. Oh! the kettle sings on seeming ever so gay. Never tired, sings both night and day; Now soft and low, now with all its might; And it sings through its nose forever and aye. And all kettles are doomed, so people say, To sing forever, a pleasant plight. Oh! the kettle sings on, seeming ever so gay, And it sings through its nose forever and aye. Harrikt Putnam Cjood Night W hen ile moon am swingin’ low. An’ de soft night breezes blow, Den close your li’l eyes up right An’ say to all de world “Good-night.” l)e nightingale am singin’ too, An’ all de chillun’s ’sleep but you— Shut dem li’l eyes so bright, An’ say to all de world “Good-night.” If de mornin’ be of joy, Now's de time to sleep, niv boy. So go to sleep, li’l brown-eyed mite, An’ say to all the world “Good-night. M xruarkt McGill, 1121

M A l (. R E I ’ S ACADEMY. Ml N N E A POL IS , M INN. aAlumnae U (otes A-MOTHKRS and Daughters' party —the first of its kind ever attempted at St. Margaret’s- was given under the auspices of the alumnae in February. Archbishop Austin Dowling was the guest of honor and principal speaker. In his address on Catholic Kducation , Archbishop Dowling pointed to the opportunity tor service open to Catholic women and offered suggestions tor special work which might be undertaken by the alumnae. Girls of the senior class were honor guests at the reception following. Many mothers who accompanied their daughters spent an especially interesting evening renewing acquaintances with their former class mates at Holy Angels and old Immaculate Conception school. The suggestion was made many times during the evening that the Mothers and Daughters’ Party be made an annual event. Mrs. Charles Brennan—Alumnae treasurer—is all smiles these days. It's all over the success of the alumnae dancing party at the Leamington hotel April 25. Guests came—not by the dozens—but hundreds. Nearly 700 were on the dance floor and while Mrs. Susan Crain, social chairman, board members, and others assisting, saw young dancers tripping the light fantastic and older alumnae renewing acquaintances, Mrs. Brennan saw a different picture—the alumnae treasury replenished. That’s why she is still smiling. Parr of the proceeds from the party will go toward a scholarship at Sr. Margaret’s for some deserving girl next year. A special honor was accorded the alumnae president, Miss Lillian Taaffe recently in Washington, when she was received privately at the White House by Mrs. Warren G. Harding— First Lady of the Land . Miss Taaffe describes Mrs. Harding as a sincere, unassuming anil extremely gracious woman, keenly alive to all national and international problems. Miss Tatfe’s reception at the White House was following the Pan American Congress of Women at Baltimore and Washington, on which she wrote daily articles. The congress—one of the most notable gatherings of women ever held in the I 'nited States—was attended by large numbers of brilliant Latin American women, many of whom are Catholics, Miss Taaffe said. Fine tributes were paid by the women in public addresses to the Catholic nuns for their work, not only in the field of education, but of social service and public welfare work. IDI
