JUDSON COLLEGE
COMMENCEMENT
Marion, May 24— (Special. )-The final
day of commencement at Judson for 1915
began with the art exhibit. This dis
play of about 300 pictures, besides china,
leather, and other decorative work, was
hung in the athletic hall, and thrown
I open to visitors Saturday. A great many
pieces o l the year’s work were not
show'n, because after the Christmas con
course the students took away a great
deal of their work as presents so this is
really thh spring exhibit of the studio.
Miss Elizabeth Abrams of Birmingham
is the one graduate of the art school; her
work is of a high order, comprising In
this year finished studies in oil, water
color, charcoal—the subjects being fig
ures, still life, fruit, flowers, landscapes,
and portraits. Her technic Is good, when
she sees an effect she knows how to pro
duce it. Among her many pieces done
this year may be mentioned specially
mongolias, roses in both oil and water
color, chrysanthemums, salvias, violets
and goldfish, a brass kettle, a tapestry
of "Queen Louise of Prussia." sketches
in charcoal from life and from casts.
Other students have done work in all
these various mediums, and also in pas
tel, besides china painting, of which there
are many beautiful examples. All work
is done from nature; designing Is taught,
and there are some pretty effects in this
art. To mention only one piece of each
advanced student: Louisa Botnar, fruits
and nuts, and a good study of her mother
in the life class; Virginia Cox, Bible for
morning watch; Ruth Elliott, open Bi
ble with flower: LaTrleve Hall, roses;
Mary Harris, still life with red berries;
Mildred Heacoek, magnolias; Louise

School For Mothers Would Be Sen j \
i _To The Stcvte~Plc to A id the Blina '
From a recent article In the Literary
Digest relative to war babies, the follow
ing clipping is made: “Women’s work,
then, is clear to secure to these “war
mothers" for the sake of their babies
v hat Sir George Newman called the min
imum requirement for healthy mother
hood :
“Relief from heavy labor before and
after childbirth.
“Adequate nourishment for mother, and.
therefore, child.
“Intelligent management of infancy.
“Feeding centers for expectant ami
nursing mothers.
“Extension of staff of health visitors in
local public health departments and
schools for mothers.’’
If such precaution is being taken by a
warring nation to secure healthy, norma)
babies, no matter how much we censure
' tlie government for prescribing the method
| under which these lives were procured,
I our duty to our own babies Is equally ns
great.
District nurses are required, milk sta
tions necessary, and schools for mothers
imperative for this work. Why not an
nex these schools to the children’s hospi
tals? Short hour3 in the afternoon and a
little time from the daily routine of work
could be given by the superintendent or
nurses of such public institutions .and th*
good such instruction would accomplish
would undoubtedly soon be felt.
Surely we owe as much to our coming
generations as any nation on earth
Good, healthy citizens are equally as val
uable as good soldiers.
Gloethel Boykin, iris; Burmah Hilliard
and Minnie Tate, plates in china paint
ing; Dana Gatchell, bowl and nappies in
roses (china) and fruit in oil; Effle
Drake, china.
The crown of . the exhibit was a paint
ing done by Miss Bacon herself, the bead
of the art school. It was a life size por
trait in oil of Dr. Robert G. Patrick,
president of the Judson from 1896 to 1913,
and the “founder of the Greater Jud
son.” as Dr. Bomar so well characterized
him.
Miss Bacon's fine work will be re
membered in the portrait she did some
years ago of Hon. B. F. Ellis, then pres- !
ident of the board of trustees of the i
Judson, which hangs in the Judson par
lor The portrait of Dr. Patrick will be
placed there also among the founders
and presidents, as a gift to the Judson
from this talented artist teacher, and
friend of the school. The handsome frame
is the gift of Miss Jones and Miss Hen
derson. All who saw the portrait pro
nounced it a perfect likeness.
The'address by Hon. J. W. Abercrom
hit this evening in the auditorium be
fore the 27 graduates of 1914-15. the fac
ulty and trustees of the Judson, and a
large audience of patrons and friends,
was the effective close of the commence
ment season. The talent and fame of Dr.
Abercrombie were well sustained in his
address.

A Long Search for a Poem
"I have been trying frfr five years to
get the poem entitled, ‘Thoroughbreds
Twain’ (they are horses). The first line,
tonight.’ Can any of your readers help
me out? D. S. W.”
We will do our “possible,” as the
French would put it, to find the verses,
j I refer the query and hold your address.
Employing Spare Time
”1 am a German girl, 14 years of age,
employed as a nursemaid. I get half a
day off each week. I should like to em
ploy this time usefully. What books could
I read that would help me? I did not get
much schooling at home. Do you think I
could learn to play the piano at this age?
I have always longed to, but circum
stances have not allowed me to. When in
company I am always at a loss what to
talk about. C. J£.”
As you do not give me your address, I
cannot pass your story over to those who
might put you in the way of acquiring
the education you crave. All that re
mains to me, as a well wisher who hon
ors your longing to make the best of your
few hours of leisure, is to advise you to
go to the headquarters of the Young
Women’s Christian association and tell
your tale just as you have written It to
me. You may if you wish tell the per
son in charge that I have sent you to her,
of friendly counsel. Lay your case be
fore her and take her advice. If there be
any strait which a woman, a stranger in
a strangfb city, may not take to this
fountain of mercy and good will with a
fair hope of receiving succor. I have
yet to hear of it. “Ask and ye sjiall re
ceive!” might be stamped in letters of

Addressing Historical Society
“How and whore would one address the
Historical society of this state?
“MRS. B. H.”

torical society.
Speaking of Beef Tenderloin
"In speaking of beef tenderloin I have
heard people who were well educated call
It 'filly of beef,' others 'flla of beef.' In
the latest dictionary the pronunciation
Is as follows: Fillet (til-let), which I
would pronounce 'flllt.' Will you please
tell me which is correct, and If a cer
tain kind of lace has the same pronuncia
tion? Also which Is correct, 'sip your
soup' or ‘drink your soup?'
“INQUIRER.“
The right pronunciation of “fillet"
when applied to a cut of meat Is (as
nearly as letters can give It) “feelay." The
final “t” is silent and the “e" Is pro
nounced as In "et,” the French for
“and.” A band of lace or of other ma
terial binding the head has an English
name. It is "fillet” and pronounced as It
Is spelled. A French lace (“filet") Is
pronounced “feelay.” To take any liquid
daintily from the spoon Instead of gulp
ing It is to sip It. We may drink soup,
from a cup. It Is usually sipped.
White Cake
“Can the Corner get me a copy of a
poem beginning:
“ 'Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Thoughtlessly the maiden sang'.”
“I should be grateful for it. I do not
know the author’s name. I enclose a
recipe for a delicious white cake which I
trust will please readers who are house
keepers: Two cups of sugar, three
fourths cup of butter (or half butter and.
half lard) beaten together with one

Written on a Post Card
“Having had no reply to a letter sent

Thus a post card from a correspondent
whose name and address are Illegible by
reason of friction in the mail hag. I
have, then, no means of communicating
with her other than by a printed note in

the like mischance so often that I am
sometimes heartsick. Any communica
tion intended especially for myself should
be marked at the head of the first page,
