Ml Lily Jane Axton of 18168 17th street northwest was an usher, Miss Dorothy Stowell of 3701 Wisconsin avenue was & member of the costume | committee, in charge of the cos- tumes and settings for the play, and Miss Carla M. Smith of 7222 Blair road was also on the usher committes. The play, which was given last night, was called “A Good Girl.” Unlike previous annual shows, it was not a musical fantasy, but was a satirical comedy with a very clever plot and modern settings. The dancing formed an important and in- teresting part of the show, including an Interpretative dance and an ec- centric golf-ball dance as well as some modern ballroom dances. The author of this little play which has such clever dialogue, is Miss Kathryn G. McFarland of Havana, 11, who s studying in France this year. Miss Pearl A. Bragdon of New Rochelle, N. Y., was manager of the show, the m popular perform- ance given at the school this year.

ECAUSE of the great popularity of jazz many older people make the mistake of thinking that the young folks of today do not appre- clate the higher types of music. It has even been suggested impatiently by some so-called “highbrow” au- thorities that it is doubtful if the: giris’and boys of the present géner: tlon even possess the capacity for preclating the more subtle, compli- cated forms of musical expression. Therefore it was with unusual in- terest that an auditor whom these same critics would immediately stamp as of the laity, when attend- ing a recent piano recital, noticed the truly effervescent enthusiasm of the young people as they reacted to the skillful playing of a great planist. ‘Washington, like tIFe!her cities of the United States, has its full quota of piano teachers and its minlature army of more or less earnest students of the piano.

A true heart counts no trouble great That saves one from dreadful fate. —Farmer Brown's Boy Farmer Brown's Boy, in starting out to look for the runaway young Fox was depending very much on the wonderful nose of Bowser the Hound. He hoped that Bowser would be able to pick up the trail of the young Fox and lead the way straight to him. But Bowser didn’t. No, »ir, Bowser didn’t. You see, the ground was very dry and it had been many hours since the young Fox had started on his way to freedom. By the time Farmer Brown's Boy and Bowser started out there was no scent left. Bowser did his best. Yes, indeed. Bowser did his best. He didn’t know Just what he was expected to do. That 18 to say, he didn't know that he was expected to find the trall of that young Fox. Bue he knew that Farmer Brown’s Boy expected him to hunt some one, 80 he ran this way and tha way, with his nose to the groun sniffing and snuMing &nd doing h best to find a trall which he could follow. Théy went across the Green Mead- ows, over to the Old Pasture. Farmer Brown's Boy had a feeling that that young Fox would go to the Old Pas- ture. All the time that Bowser was trying to find a trail with his wonder- ful nose Farmer: Brown's Boy was looking and looking for -igns of dragging chain. But though 1. : tramp- ed this way and thay way along many cowpaths in the Old Pasture, he found lno signs to show that the youny Fox [hld been that way. The longer he tramped the more worried Farmer Brown's Boy became “I must find him. 1 must find him.* he kept sayving over and over to him- | ing of this artist. who not only put}ing found gullty of trying to kill his!self. “Perhaps he didnt come to the Old Pasture at all. Perhaps he went up through the Old Orchard to the | Green Forest. 1 will go over there as soon as I have thoroughly hunted through the Old_Pasture.” Tt was the middle of the afternoom and Farmer Brown's Boy was about ready to start for the Green Forest, when Bowser gave an impatient yelp. His master understood that yelp. It menat that he had caught a whif of the scent of some one who had passed that way. Bowser velped again. Then for a few minutes he was silent His master could see him runnir back and forth this way and U way. with his nose to the ground ard ihis tall wagging more and mo.e ex- citedly. Presently Bowser lifted his head and " sent his great voice rolling out t« tel! Jall within hearing that he had found !a trail. Then away he started, baying as he ran. Farmer Brown's Boy knew that Bowser had found the trail of a Fox. There was no doubt whatever. He plunged after Bowser as fast ax he could go. He hadn't a doubt that Bowser had at last found the trail of the young Fox and would soon catch up with him, for, of course, voung Fox could not run fa:: | that chain dragging behind.
