President Bergerot | esked for the majority report of the com- | mittee, but none was forthcoming. There- upon he declined to entertain the report | presented. i Director Cole tried to explain in an in- coherent manner that he had e natures, but that they had declined to Join | him in' his recommendations. He ex- plained that some janitors were on the list of dismissals upon the recommendations of principals of schools. That from long years of service they acted as though they could do as they pleased in negle ing their duties. Others were included in the list because he had evidence of their neglect. He spent several days in the month on a tour of investigation, and found that the rooms in a number of bulldings had_not received proper care: President Bergerot dealt firmly but kindly with the Director. He would not permlt the report to be presented. The | remaining ten members were a unif in their views of the matter, hence there will be no changes among the janitors for | the present. The o n of the board was a short | one. The important committees had | nothing to report, so the proceedings, aft- | er the Cole incident, were m. st routine, The commiitee on rules recommended that leave of absence be granted to. the following teachers: Mrs. B.

To show what schemes the Chinese will resort to, I deem it proper to make pub. lic a forgery which was evidently in- tended to entrap me.

The afterncon hardly found the ladies prepared to entertain their guests, but by evening every- thing was in perfect order and ru ning as smoothly as though the enter- tainment was a full week old. For the opening day it was a splen- did attendance. Fashion has lately decreed that openings are no longer the very swellest affairs, and judging by that it is evident that before the féte comes to its happy conclusion the hall will be unable to hold those as- gembled, and that money will pile up and fill to overflowing the capacious coffers of the worthy charity. The programme arranged for the gorgeous fete. No one booth resem- Minlature.... bles the other. Each has a distinctive feature particularly appropriate o its kind, making comparison impossible. One booth is only prettier than an- other judged from an individual stand- point, and there {s enough diversity to" Please all tastes. More than a dozen ooths filled with comely matrons and fascinating belles appealed to the fash- fonable assemblage, and each booth did a thriving business. In addition to the booths there are the art gallery, with its wealth of rare art works; the “hospitable table,’ a minfature reproduction of the bene- fited institution, and looked after by Mrs. Merrill, the Misses Leontine and Juliette Smith, the Misses Hughes and Miss Bates; the wonderful doll house, for which little Whittier Bothin_ dis- poses of raffle tickets, and the Bedouin tent, with its Oriental inscription, be- Miss Clipping from ‘‘Life ¢ ..“‘Wonders of Palmistry" Miss F.

From the door where you hand in your paste- board to the stage that bounds the further extremity of the hall is one long line of artistic effects. Variety must have been the watch- word of the skillful decorators that converted the plain bare hall into the last evening, but to-night the great Foeselll will be on hand.
