Wright Girls' High School and their parents and friends, the formal dedication of the school took place yes terday afternoon. It was a notable gathering, and among the features were the tributes which were paid by every speaker to the worth of Miss Wright, for whom the school is named, both as aa educator and as a benefactor to the citizenship of New Orleans and Louis iana. The exercises were held in the auditorium of the building, as the lower ing weather prevented the carrying out of the original plan to make it an out door affair. Early yesterday morning the decorations of the platform erected in Napoleon avenue, near the St. Charles avenue side of the building, were re moved to the auditorium.

The exercises began with introductory remarks bv the superintendent of schools, Prof. J. M. Gwinn. who was master of ceremonies.

Prof. Gwinn said the larg est word in education is service, and the teaching of the individual and society to serve each other better. Mayor Behrman was introduced to make the presentation of the school building to the Board of Directors. said it gave him pleasure to perform the service, as he took a pride in turning over this product of New Orleans brain and genius in architecture and construc tion. THE SCHOOL ACCEPTED.

The speech of acceptance of the school was made by John Watt Duffy, president of the school board. He said the boara was proud of the edifice, and that when the handsome sister school in F.splanade avenue and the Boys' High School in Canal boulevard are finished the board cup of joy would be filled to the brim. But the board took greater pride in the fact that the enrollment in high schools was steadily increasing. In 19o-19o, there were 2S1 boys In the high school to day there are 507; in McDonogh Girls' High School No. 2 in June, 1907.

Wright High School, I oner, in conclusion, just one word of con gratulation upon the fact that your school life was timed so that you might avail yourselves of the glorious oppor tunities here present, and under such ideal conditions conditions that become so strikingly emphasized when held in contrast with those under which your less fortunate predecessors toiled in our three- storied building in Jackson avenue. vou take full advantage of your oppor tunitv. Tou have here an able principal and faculty of experienced experts, whose aim is to guide and nurture you. truly and really educating you. in the full sig nificance of the term, so that in wnat- ever walk of life your lot may be cast you may meet with the fullest measure of success, happiness and contentment.

William Waller Toung. an attorney wno gained the foundation for his education from the Sophie B. Wright Night School, gave an eloquent tribute to the noble woman for whom the McDonogh school is named. He told of what she had done foe the manhood and womanhood of New Orleans, and said that it gave him the greatest gratification io see that her worth was being appreciated by this lasting testimonial. During the applause following Mr.

Young's remarks a child created much amusement by breaking away from his mother and insisting on presenting the speaker with a small three-leaf clover. The attorney bowed his acceptance. MR. BUCK'S ADDRESS. The closing address was made by Chas.

F. Buck. He commented upon the appropriateness of the occasion, and said this was an appreciation of the service of a distinguished public-spirited woman, which would he appropriate in any country, especially in one where public education is so highly esteemed. He touched upon the place of women in the world, and said that education had changed the status of women in a measure, but had by no means unfitted women from being the mistress of the home. He closed by paying an eloquent tribute to Miss Wright.

The benediction was spoken by the Rev. A. H. Becker, pastor of a German Lutheran church. After the dedication the guests were invited into the basement, where high school girls served refreshments.

On the platform were Joseph Kohn. former school director; Prof. Alcee Fortier. William Levy, Thomas Doyle. Charles J.

It makes an attractive addition to porch or window. When the top of the front door is of glass a curtain is needed aa a screen from the street. It may be made of any of a score of materials, preferably white or ecru, a square of filet lace or drawn-work, fine scrim, plain or trpsa-barred, or, often, a soft cream madras. These curtains, although arranged for protection, should he thin enough to obscure the light as little as possible, for a dark hall is something that should be endured only if it cannot be cured. Above all, stained glass is to be avoided here, as well as in all other windows of a bouse It is perfectly permissible to omit the cnopy of a four-posted bed.

It collects the dut and becomes, therefore, somewhat of a nuisance to keep clean. Fasten the flounce to the framework that goes around the top of the posts, and leave the top itself open. This is quite commonly done. The only curtains that are necessary, if you are anxious to keep the draping simple, are those of the head posts; they are usually made long enough to reach to within six inches of the floor. Fine white dimity, striped, flowered or otherwise figured, is the most satisfactory material, and the valance should be made to match.

The side curtains and flounce tan be effectively finished with a simple white ball fringe, in which case the flounce should not be too full. A good way to use- embroidered parts lingerie waists is to cut out the sprays and flowers in the. design and use them as medallions in another waist, setting them in with lace insertion. There is nothing to be done to a piece of furniture marred by alcohol except to have the wood scraped, or cleaned with a paint or varnish and then siained and done over again. If the alcohol was spilled on a table top the.

whole surface will require doing over, but ff on the arm of a chair, or any such irregular surface, and the stain can be matched, that part can doubtless be treated. Many clever needleworkers join lace by matching the pattern so skillfully that it can scarcely be detected. In joining narrow lace insertion, such as Valenciennes or Cluny, which tannofbe easily matched, do not sew in a straight seam, but turn over the raw edge and join by tacking every quarter of an inch. When pressed and finished this will give an open, lacy appearance like the other portion of the lace. Many dressmakers have a long, narrow pin cushion fastened around the waist on a belt; but a better plan is to have a small round cushion and attach io it an elastic band from one side to the other, just large enough to slip com-lortabiy over the hand and hold on the left wrist.

The pins are always in sight by this method, and easy to take out. When a gentleman Is acting as escort to two young ladies, the girls should side by side, and the man on the cutter side next to one of the young ladies. Tvco menus for to-clav. breakfast. A suggestion To-morrow for the busy ouei.
