The program she rendered was very difficult but she mastered it, showing genius and extraordinary feeling. Among the outstanding features of her program were the “Prelude and Fugiie in G” by Mendelssohn, and the “Pastoral Sonata” by Rheinbergev which she gave exceedingly well. Other numbers were: “Easter Morn ing,” Mailing; “Canticiue d'Armour,” Wendt: “Communion in G," Batiste; and “Grand Chorus,” Guilmant. The stage was artistically decorated with palms and baskets of roses and spring flowers which formed a charm ing setting for the young lady, who wore a peach chiffon crepe trimmed with cream lace. The ushers were: Misses Marie Fleming, Elma Fleetwood, Louise Wil son, Thelma Fleetwood, Janet Holo- nian, and Virginia Barnes. A number of out of town people were present for the recital. Among them were: Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Grady of Goldsboro, parents of Miss Grady; Mrs. H. G. Maxwell, Jr., Misses Elinor Cobb and Louise Wrenn of Goldsboro; Mrs. M. V. Fleming of Manson; Mr. Benjamin Grady, Edgar, Stallings and Frank Powers of Waice Forest. IM KHKSTIXi AND CMQUK I’llO- fJKA3i lx iin; I’oior OF A PAXTO^MME “Young Lochinvar, come out of the We.st," camc the call of an Astro mem ber iu the pantomime given by the Town Girls in Society Saturday night. In response to the call, up rode Young Lochinvar speedily on his dauntless charger. Immediately he dismounted, entered the home of the bride, seized her, sul'ely escaped on his steed, and the puntomino was over. Not only was the program enlivened by this unusual demonstration, but the usual monotony of tlie roll call was interestingly varied by the answers given in the form of quota tions from various poets. The replies ranged between verses from Slielley, Keats, Milton, Shakespeare, and various other poets. Announcement was also made of the medals, the Carter Upchurch and the Minnie Jackson Bowling medals to be given to the winning member of of the Astrotekton, and of the Phila- retian Society in writing an essay, subject to the rules read by the Secre tary, on Society Night of Commence ment.

The Meredith girls never let an op portunity like this go by uiinoticed. We were especially interested in this opera, because of its connection with Mozart, one of the greatest musicians the world has ever known. One hundred per cent of the music students attended. Let us bo assured however, that the attendance did not stop here, as by far a majority of the collofje was present. The trafllc was even blocked at several cornera, as the happy throng passed on its way. It was with regret that the students watched the curtain descend for the last time. Having spent not only an enjoyable but also a very profitable evening, they reluctantly departed.

Last Wednesday iriurniug we learned something of the Social Serv ice Department of our State as told us l)y Miss Mary Shotwell, chairman of the Children’s Institution. In 1917 the State Legislature passed a laAV creating the department of Pub lie Welfare with a superintendent of this department in each county with a population of 32,000. In those counties not having this great a pop ulation the superintendent of the pub lic schools had this work of the public welfare also. At that time there were only twenty-one full time superinten dents. Now there are fifty. From the time this department was established people have been trained In ordoi; to bo fitted for this work. In this work the dependent, negloctod, and delinciuent children are considered. (North Carolina was the first State to pass a law to consider those children.) At the same time juvenile courts were created, and chil drcn were no longer tried in criminal courts. Also the superintendent of public welfare in each county was to see that the public school attendance taw was enforced. Ho must supervise the poor, looking after pensions, pris oners, county homo, etc. Mrs. Kate Johnson is commissioner of welfare, Bureau oil Child Welfare, Next Miss Sliotwcll gave us the standards having to bo reached before a person could go Into this work, First, he must have a liberal educa lion as a foundation—that is have a good college education. Then ho must have a certain amount of special training for Instance, a course in sociology in some school of public welfare. Besides the superintendent of Public Welfare there are the probation ofltcers and many other ofllcers. Anyone who Is Interested In this kind of work would find a great field for service. PHILARETIAN SOCIETY HOLDS REGULAR MEETING IJlfA^rATIC (ilM)UI* GIVES INTEIN ESTING I'ROGRAar FOIl nil- LARETIAX SOCIETY On last Thursday afternoon the members of the Cooking I Class were very much excited when Miss Brewer told them to come to class prepared to go down town, When 1;30 arrived we were all over at the Home Economics Building with our hats and coats on, ready to go. After we had waited for a short time a yellow truck from the Armour Cold Storage Plant, which has recently been opened here, drove up. We all got on board by means of a stepladder and, after going by for Miss Welch and Mrs. Cooper, we started off for the plant. We arrived just as we were learning the art of turning corners without catching hold of our neighbors to keep from falling off backwards. Mr. Hol loman. the manager of the plant, took us into one of the huge cold storage rooms where hung many thousand pounds of frozen meat—beel. mutton, lamb and pork—all frozen absolutely hard and stiff. Mr. Holloman ex plained to us how to tell the difference between lamb and mutton, The best beef he said, was the “local” beet. That la corn fed and comes from the corn belt around Chicago, 111. This is the best grade of meat on the market. It has more fat on It and is more tender. The other meat was Western meat. That is, next to the “local" meat, the best on the market. All of the meat handled by the Armour people is government in spected, therefore when one buys their moat she is sure of good meat. Then ho showed us some sausage, cheese and souse that are put up by the Armour people and which we sampled. We all agreed that it was very good and we knew much more about meat after tasting these, for it would make a lasting Impression. From this room wo went down to the freezing room where the tempera ture is always below freezing in order to freeze the meat before putting it into the refrigerating room, so that It will keep better, Then wo went up to the room where they; keep eggs, cheese, etc., that cannot be frozen, whore It was never below 32 degrees but was not over 40 degrees so It was rather cool just the same. When we went out doors again we enjoyed the spring sunlight much more than we had before we went in. Just as we had all got settled In the truck to come back one of the em ployees came out with a camera and we had our “beauty stuck." Finally, when we camc home we all felt very much indebted to the Armour Company for a very Instructive and interoating afternoon. Thn month of February, even though it is the shortest, contains more dates that hold some special significnnce for us all than any other In the year. First comes Lincpln’s Birthday, followed by Saint Valen tine’s Day, and last. George Washing ton’s Birthtlay. In accordance with those date.s, the program presented by the Philaretlan Literary Society on Saturday night dealt wltli each one. The program, as follows, was un usually interesting: Poem— Grandmother's Valentine— Margaret Haywood. Story—On the Memory of Lincoln— Myrtle Tyson. Reading—A Glimpse of Washing ton’s Birthplace—Mary Robert Sea- well. Recitation—How She Got Ready— Alberta Harris. The rules governing the contestants for the Minnie Bowling Memorial Medal were read. This medal Is offered to any girl in either the Astro- (Conlinucd on jxii/e 2) STUDIO PARTY GIVEN WITH VALENTINE EFFECT The motorist was at the aide of the road engaged in the hot, dirty, and irritating job of changing a tire, A second motorist stopped his car along side, “Having trouble with your tires blowing out?” inquired the second driver cheerfully. “Nah!" snorted the troubled one bitterly. “They blow out fine. The trouble is when I go to patch ’em up.” I'HETTY I'AKTY GIVEN IN THE “Y” UOOM »Y SEVERAL 3IERE- mTH GIRLS A most enjoyable party was given in the “Y” room on Saturday evening, February 16th, at eight o’cloclc. The “Y" room was cheerful and homelike with Its rose colored lights and potted plants. The party was opened by that most interesting game, “Heart Clapping.” This afforded much merri ment for the entire party, especially when it was proved to the satisfaction oC all that Mr, Hobble was the pos sessor of more than one heart. After this a most interesting contest was put on. The master minds of Miss Edith Jones and Mr. John Hermon won for them the prize, the booby going to Miss Linda Hassell and Mr, “Red” Peebles. Each member of the party was then presented with a heart which gave to him a most interesting peep Into the future. Only^timo can tell whether these newly acquired hearts wore true or false. Music was furnished by Miss Ruth Mcuros at the piano and Miss Lucy Knight with the guitar. The valentine scheme was carried out in the refreshments which con sistod of frozen hearts of cream heart-shaped cakes, and tiny candy hearts, the little verses on the hearts affording much amusement. After this tho guests began to reluctantly depart. All agree that this was a most enjoyable event and the hostesses are resolved lo entertain again with a studio party as soon as possible. Those present were; Misses Minnie Murchison, chaperon; Myrtle Tyson Ellen Marshall. Lucy Knight, Linda Hassell. Ruth Moares, Helen Atkinson Edith Jones. Iris Yelvington and Messrs. George Herring. “Ted” Thomp son, Charlie ShufCord, “Red” Peebles Sherwood Hobble, Talmadge Green John Herman, and Edward Hood. iOME ECONOMICS CLUB HOLDS REGULAR MEETING UELI’EUL AND INTICnivSTfNG I’ltO- GHAir 1‘EKI'AIMNG 'JO COM- >IUMTY I.NTKHKST.S Tho Homo Economics Club held its regular meeting in the Home Eco nomics building on Monday afternoon, February IS, at five o'clock. As the president was not able to be present, lowna Daniel, tho vice-president pre sided over tho mecling, After tho roll call and other business part of the meeting, a very interesting and help ful program was rendered. Edna Grubbs gave a very interesting talk on “Community Interest In Nutrition,” emphasizing the Impor tance of proper nutrition. She told what nutrition was supposed to em brace. and gave the different steps In the nutritive program. Vera Pearl Milton had for her subject “What the Community Owes the Child.” Tho three main points in her topic were: the perfection of production, the com munity owes the child education, and tho community owes the socialization of the child. Phoebe Day talked on The New Bureau of Home Econom ics.” Although this bureau is new It is hoped that it will prove very help ful to the homemakers. The topic, How Club Work Prepares Girls for a Livelihood as well as for Woman hood,” was discussed by Mary Tatum. In this topic, she pointed out the many opportunities for the club girl to make a livelihood and not only be a better citizen of her community, but also prepare herself to be a better home maker in the future.

The period of childhood and culture was told by Gladys Brown. As a little girl she was always thoughtful o£ others, and although she had a fierce temper, she never lot It get beyond her control. Tho period of sorvico was explained by Vera P. Milton in which it was said that other peoples’ demands dictated her every act. She was one of the lirst women to sock a higher educa tion and at tho age of twenty-two be came president of Wellesley College. The period of self-expression as given by Winnie Rlckett was one of leisure. She was free to follow her own Interests which she did volun tarily and with great activity. It was during this period that she married Professor Palmer and proved to be a skillful mistress of her house hold. In conclusion, a very effective repre sentation of tho monument which was erected in Wellesley College Chapel in memory of Mrs. Palmer was portrayed by Alma Kendrick and Annie Elkins.
