Immar. MlIt C...UmMd fr. n fltpg explained that it was designed to show a table properly set. "Its all right," remarked a gentleman who is fond of good things to eat. "A fellow would imagine corn bread equal to cake if set down to such a table as that." A side table showed food pro perly prepared for the sick, and it looked so tempting one could almost wish he was sick to have a try at it. But the dining room wasn't a circumstance to the kitchen. Everything was as neat as a new silver dollar, and placed on tables forming a hollow square were lots and lots of good things showing the proper way of pre paring food. The only comment necessary is, that if that is the proper way to prepare food, wages will certainly have to be raised, when it becomes a gen eral practice, in order to satisfy one's appetite. A meal for a man of ordinary muscular activity was shown with an accompanying card giv ing the proportion of ingredients. weight of food,etc. It was quite interesting, but it is exceedingly doubtful if "a man of ordinary muscular ability" should get a fair chance at that kind of cook ing, that be would ever restrain himself to the limit. His appe tite never could be held down. In every department, teleg raphy, book-keeping, stenog raphy, drawing, literary, the same high standard of excellence was displayed. In the workshop, which at tracted a great deal of attention, were mechanical drawings well and accurately executed, and numbers of articles, among them furniture which testified con siderable skill. The character of exhibits in this department show considerable improvement over last year, and as the school grows older will no doubt be come more attractive each year. Considered from any point of view the annual exhibit of work for the third session is in every way satisfactory to the friends and patrons of the school. AINNUAL DUBATE.

The Stud eats' Chorus from "Prince of Pilsen" was well sung, Gravem berg's solo being especially fine. A storm of applause brought a repetition. The Laest Will and Testament of the Class of '04, read by Miss Marcelle Blot in a clear, load, distinct and charm ing manner pleased the audience greatly. It was very witty and contained many excellent hits, some of which struck members of the faculty neatly and grace taully. The second chorus by Gravemberg, Authement, Sia doas, P. Voorhies and Sutter was interrupted by the sudden illness of P. Voorhies, who hap pily soon recovered. Miss Lolahbbel Williams in an appropriate speech presented the class Mag to Dr. Stephens who' gracefully made acknowl odgements. Aubert Talbot read an orignal poem which contained many kind expressions towards the faculty and Dr. Stephens in particular, to which Dr. Stephens feelingly responded.

The graduating class of '04, with a number of friends enjoyed a delightful evening last Satur day as the guests of Thomas Moore Biossat, Jr: Moore has inherited that most charming manner of entertaining which has won for his parents the reputation they enjoy among their friends for perfect hos pitality. Progressive Pit was the diversion of the evening, but before beginning the games the young folks assembled on the lawn and were photographed in a group. The young ladies made a very pretty group. with their picture hats. There are a number of things in which Lafayette is woefully deficient, but when it comes to pretty girls, we certainly take the lead. The Pit game was carried on with shouting and laughter.? Only those who have played themselves or heard this game played by others can fully real ize how much noise those boys and girls made, and there must have been some sore throats next morning. The first prize for ladies was won by Miss Agnes Martin,. Mr. W. S. Sutter captured the gentle man's prize, and the booby went to-a young lady. After the games the guests were invited into the dining room where a "Buffet Luncheon" was served. The class colors, bronze and blue were profusely used in the artistic decorations of the rooms and table. Little Misses Alice Moss, Stella Roy and Inez Biossat assisted Mrs. Biossat in serving the delicious lunch: Miss Marsh, of Alexandria. then entertained with several piano selections. Following is a list of those who were so fortunate as to have been present: Misses Agnes Martin, Edith Trahan, Gertrude Layne, Eleanor Compton, Loolahbel Wil liams, Clara Harper.
