Barnng the presence of a few trustees and local ministers, the scene was one of trancendent beauty and bril liancy, As toast mistress Mrs. J. S. Barrow, the only member of the class of 1856, presided with rare grace and dignity. The toasts, couched in military -phraseology were particularly happy in their expression and fitting y appro priate to the occasion, when so many 1 young ladies are about to go out into the world to face life's battles, and pro voked unstinted applause. Truly they were a "feast of reason and flow of soul" ' "The "Reveille" wi? given by Mrs, T. W. Bickett; "Guard Mounting." by lira. J. L. Hassell, of Greenville; "To Arras," by Miss Pearl Elizabeth Keene, of Johnston county; "The Charge," by Miss Maggie Floyd, of Fairmont; "To the Colors," by Mrs. J. A.

The walls of the , Chapel were literally lined from fleor to j ceiling with most exquisite pieces of j art and beauty, some of them master- j pieces. The exhibit reflected great credit on the highly accomplished teacher, Miss Maud Hisks, as well as on the genius and painstaking work ef her pupils. The reception was a most interesting feature of the occasion, es pecially t? the young men, who were allowed certain privileges that are or dinarily denied them. The Gkbbk Drama. On the brilliantly lighted campus, out beneath the twinkling stars under the massive eaks centuries old, there gath ered Tuesday night more than half a thousand eager spectators to witness "Endymion", the beautiful Greek drama in three acta, rendered by thirty flye young ladies from the graduating and expression classes of the College. The play was a brilliant success, even in the minutest details, each one -playing ber part with the adepts eas of .a well trained artist. Too much praise .can not be given to Miss Elba Heoni ger, ths (leeervedly popular teacher of ?expression and director of athletics, for Aha -careful training sad masterly di rection of her class whioh woe such a profusion of laurels op this occasion. This was Miss Heaniger'a first jaar at the CoUese, but she has won fe* her self a most enviable reputation, both as teacher and reader, and all are re joicing that her services will be retain ed another year. A most attractive feature of the pl%r was the gorgeous costumes, ordered es pecially for the occasion from Philadel phia. They added greatly to the spiea dor and success of the entertainment.

Tie Litbbary Address and Gsadu atinc Exbbcises. Wednesday morning? and the skies are blue, the air is balmy, the birds are singing? it is a typical Commencement day. With the College Chapel and halls taxed to their utmost, promptly | at 11 o'clock the highly skilled musical director, Mias Sallie Williams played the "Proceaiioaal," aftf* which the College girls ssng their class motto, "Be Strong." Prayer wasoflered by Rey. J. H. Hall After a charming duet by Misses Wctherington aad Joyner, our own highly esteemed Attorney-General waa introduced by Dr. L. 8. Masse 7, ot Raleigh, aa the orator of the day. Mr. Bickett's reputation a* an ora tor Is well known and far-famed, but hi none of his prohibition speeches in which he excelled, did he ever speak with greater liberty and foroefutaeas than be did on this occasion. The ad dress abounded ia good common sense, poetic gems, flashss of wit and humor, sonnd philosophy and oratorical flights and waa thoroughly enjoyed by all. He was especially happy n tb ? IseUoo of his theme, "The Woman Beutifnl. " Space forbids oar giving more than a mere outline and a few striking sen tences. "Be beautiful,'" be said, "You sim ply moat be. II you can't be entirely Wtutiful, then m?e a campaign to be aa beautiful as yws can. No agly wo man has a right to be ugly. An ugrfy woman is a mistake, a misfit, at war with the law and purpoee of her crew tioo.

Some minimise the value o < beauty, giving thanks that they have no beaaty to make them psoud.. Ttmj make capital of their uglinsaa as Tom Sawyer did ol his sore toe. But woman'*- chief endowment, her crowning glory m her beauty. Iter awn > loveliness is the mighty lever by which she may lift the world up to things, that axe lovely sad of good report. The j world has never yet denSed to a beau- j tiful woman a fair chance; The w-wld never rates a woman at less than her lace value. How is the Kingdom of beaaty ac quired, preserved or restored? 1. Be strong. That is basic . The dictum of Herbert Spencer, "It takes a go jd aniatal to be a man,' is sow ac cepted everywhere. The beginning of beauty iaa food digestion. Jaat try to associate beauty with a dyspeptic. The triumph of the- parlor begins in the kitchea. A . sensible diet should b* the fisst course in every school forgirle. A course ia dietetics is far more valn ble than a taat> of French or a smat tering of art. Bat|it is hard to get a Huffy girl to realize that the siapleet fare is the best Dsaiel. refusing to defile himself with the Klngamaat and wine, is an i~ rss~t~l illustration of thia I truth. Nat only aught tho girl to be taught the value at food products, but to be prepared to prepare that product into a good meal. She owes it to herself and to the brethren to be aa authority on good cookiag. For things that oome from the kitchen tend to kill or make alhre. A geod eook can beat a revivalist in making ene feel that he has the good "?Id time relifion." The development of beauty that will neither wear off nor wash off requires daily exercise. The penalty for dis ease Is death. Service is not oaly the test ef efficiency bat It ti this very con dition of life. J. Be natural. That is the only way . ? to be forcible. Affection spoils more faces than imallpex. This is great day of iiaitations. We have satine for satin, velvetine tor velvet, butterine for batter, and beerine for beer. The "inefl" are in the aaddle. Is thew a danger of our girls becoming girliaes? Please don't. Be a girl, be yourself and net the shoddy imitation of some one else.
