Three young women employes living together had added a fourth member to the household in Bonnie, who faithfully watched over their home alone day after day while her mistresses were at their places of employment. Bon- nie lived for the evenings, when she would be taken out for romps in the parks in company with one or all of the little family. Bonnie's tawny coat pealing brown eyes and her sense of understanding and duty bound her to the trio of young women heart and soul. Last Wednesday evening Bonnie was taken out for her usual romp. As the group reached Riggs place on Nine- teenth street Bonnie suddenly darted across the street, Before the girls realized what, had happened the body of the dog lay broken in. the street and in the distance a motorist was speed- ing on his way. They rushed to the side of the animal; there was a groan and Bonnie died. And the friend of the girls, who requests her name not be pub- lished, writes: “A man came up to the grief-stricken trio and said, ‘What'll you take for that dog's skin BUSINESS HONORS HIGH SCHOOL ACTORS List Includes Girls and Boys Who Have Been Leaders in nd COLLEGE OF LAW ASKS $100,000 ENDOWMENT Trustees to Pass on Report of Com- mittee Which Planned to Organize Drive. | Entire Course. | Judge Peelle, president of the hoard| Gala days were declared for Busi- of trustees of the Washington College | 1<% HI&h School Thursday and Pri- day, these being chosen for the an- of Law, has called a meeting this|nual dramatics of the Osiris Socicet week to act upon the report of the| The school hall was filled with committee to organize a drive to|alumni and undergraduates to greet raise the endowment fund of $100,-|the players of this year, and the list 000, which is being planned by the|includes both boys and girls college.
