“Naught can stay the human mind,

In. a Persian Garden.
We failed to notice the best musi-
cal event that Cleburne has ever had.
On Wednesday, May 16th, a song-
cycle was presented at the Carnegie
Library, entitled “In a Persian Gar-
den.” The participants were artists.
Mesdames G. Fred Thompson and
Beverly Worthham were the contral-
to- and soprano soloists. Mr. H. M.
Gilbert was the directoyl and pianist,
S. J. Titus, basso, and Try Slaughter,
tenor. Those present pronounced it
the best musical entertainment ever
given In Cleburne.
■ We are pleased to announce to the
music lovers of Cleburne an event of
exceptional merit in the rendition
of Liza Lehmann’s “Persian Garden,”
a song cycle for four solo voices.
The text of this composition was
selected from the “Rubaiyat,” and in
the choosing of verses Mme. Leh-
mann showed rare taste. There is
in the work those qualities elusive
to most composers—individuality,
contrast, and at the same time con-
tinuity of (musical thought. The
cycle consists of solo and ensemble
numbers in sequence, artistic and
pleasing. Mr. Harry Gilbert, un-
der whose direction the programme
was given, has been most fortunate
In securing a rare combination of
talent suited for this beautiful work.
Those participating were Mrs. Bev-
erly Wortham, soprano; Mrs. G. Fred
Thompson, contralto; Mr. Try
Slaughter, tenor, and Mr. S. J. Titus,
basso. Mr. Gilbert was at the piano.
Preceding the cycle a short 1 pro-
gramme was given.

Houston Chronicle, May 26.
The fete at “Friendship” was
beautifed by many attractive person-
alities from- the Lone Star state,
Mrs. Ramsay, principal of Fairmont
seminary, in charge ,of the “Theatre
Comique” for the benefit of the Jun-
ior republic, was assisted in her phi-
lanthropic work by a number of her
Texas charges. Miss Bappie Hill of
Grange, the splendid pianist, honor
graduate ,of Fairmont, gathered in
the sheckels, selling tickets on the
grounds. She was like a lily, all
m white, with the masses of her
golden hair piled under a big white
hat with wide strings. The other
Pretty Texans were Misses Margery
Manlen of Houston, Norine Heffron
of Galveston, the fine pianist, Mary
Montague, a blonde beauty from Fort
Worth, Ollie Lou Brown of Cleburne
Mamie White of Weatherford.
At a recent piano recital given at
Madison Hall seminary, at which
Miss Elizabeth Winston, the child
pi odigy, was the only artist, two beau •
tiful Texas pupils of the institute,
acted in the capacity of hostess, seat-
ing thcbrilliant company of guests
and looking after their welfare. Miss
Marie Turner of Dallas wore, a chic
French costume of white silk with
touches of pale blue velvet. Miss
Ruby Thurmond .of Dallas, her won-
derful wealth of pale gold curls piled
high, was adream in pure white.
Miss Mabel Ross, a pretty girl from
fort Worth, was *in blue. Misses
Turner and Thurmond both have
relatives who have come from Texas
to be present at the commencement
exercises at the seminary. Mr. Fred
Thurmond will accompany his sister
home, while Miss Turner will be com-
panioned by Mr. Fred Turner and
Mr. G. H. Turner.
Sunshine Thought.
Forget It. 7
It' you see a tall fellow ahead of a
crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud,
And you know of a tale whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed.
It’s a pretty good plant o4'orget it.
If you know af a skeleton hidden
away
In a closet, and guarded, and kept
from the day
In the dark; and whose showing,
whose sudden display,
Would cause grief and sorrow and
lifelong dismay,
It’s a pretty good plan to forget it.
It you know of a thing that will
darken the joy
Of a man or a woman, a girl or a
boy,
That will wipe out a smile, or at
least may annoy
A fellow, or cause any gladness to
cloy,
Its a pretty good plan to forget it.

j “where the brook and river meet,
The Education of a Woman.
From the Savannah News.
The majority of young women in
this country are lacking in the right
sort of education. This is especially
true of the high school and college
girls and generally true of the girls
who never get beyond the common
grammar schools. They may be pro-
ficient in the “three R’s,” of the
classics and high mathematics, and
,3et lack the very essentials that malj:e
a happy life for them as mature wo-
j men. They do not know how to
'make a homo; nor is it possible in a
! great many instances for them to
j receive home training in domestic
| economy because their mothers do
| not know anything about it. One
; outcome of all this is disappointment,
j bitterness, the drifting apart of hus-
! bands and wives from that compan-
| ionship which should characterize
their relations, and too often a re-
sort to the divorce courts.
How shall the correct and needed
education of young women be pro-
vided? At a recent meeting of the
local Board of Education a communi-
cation was received from the Wo-
man’s Club touching upon the sub-
ject. The suggestion of the Woman’s
Club is that manual training for
girls, as well as for boys, be made
a part of the public school system.
There is at least one large edu-
cational institution in the country
that has taken steps to solve the
problem. It is the University of
Kansas. With respect to it a contem-
porary says: “It was one^ of the
first universities of the countr^to
make a feature of domestic science
work, and to that course it devotes
much money and invites attention.
For four years the girls of the uni-
versity learn how to cook and bake
and sew and sweep and dust, as well
as how to decline Greek nouns, solve
problems of geometry and prove
formula of chemistry. The result
of taking the domestic science course

more goods to sell for over $1.00

Daisy Party at Austin.
The governor’s mansion was the
scene of one of the most chaining af-
fairs of the week, it being the .occa-
sion when Miss Fannie Campbell
entertained the Merry Maids’ Card
Club. Thd mansion was lavishly dec-
orated with brown-eyed daisies on
each table, a huge bunch of which,
at the close. of the game, the play-
ers cut for as a souvenir of the oc-
casion. The scores were hand-paint-
ed daisies and were exquisite works
of art. After several hours most
delightfully spent, playing the fas-
cinating game ,of six-hand eucher,
the score was counted and Miss Grace
Hill was found to be the winner ol
the first prize, a pair of black silk
gloves embroidered in daisies. Miss
Margaret Butler captured on the cut
the consolation, a pair of white silk
bcse embroidered in yellow daisies.
The guest’s prize, a souvenir spoon„
in a daisy pattern, was won by Miss
Julia Estill. Besides the club mem-
bers, a number of out of town guests
were present, who greatly enjoyed
this affair. The daisy idea was car-
ried out to perfection in the line of
Campbell a most delightful hostess.

Mrs. D. W. Wofford At Home.
On Tuesday night the Senior Class
were again entertained. This time
Mr. and Mrs. Wofford were At Home
i-i especial honor of their sister, Ad-
die May Glasscock, one of the Sen-
iors. The class flower shed its del-
icate aroma through the cozy home
and the class colors were in evidence.
Pictures were pinned on the curtains
and they represented the well known
advertisements seen in me leading
magazines. Paper and pencils were
passed by little Robbie Pitts and
Marguerite Glasscock, and it was now
up to the Seniors” to sharpen thei•
memories, a familiar picture was
often so familiar that no one could
name it, just as we sometimes forget
a name in introducing a friend. Af-
ter the guessing contest the papers
w ere sealed and exchanged, and the
correct answers read. Miss Kathrine
Stewart will, probably, in future
years, be a newspaper editor, or a
writer of ads on some big mazazine,
up she guessed all of the pictures ex-
cepting one.
Mr. Harrison evidently had not pe-
rused the wily ads of “Gold Dust

ures of life.

[ Tally Ho Party.
The child is a woman, the book may
close over,

—Ingelow.
j Now that school days are over for
•the Senior girls of the High School
and the “books closed over” fun and
| frolic are quite apropos to refresh
j tired minds and bodies.
; 0n Monday afternoon the boys of
j Senior Class invited the sweet
jgirl graduates to enjoy a tally ho
ride over the city and out to the river
; chaperoned by Mesdames Wofford
I and Glasscock.
j Some .of the party were, R. Lee
Battle, Zelma Berry, Frances Boling,
Eva Dickinson, Josephine Doby, Ad-
die May Glasscock, Roy McCullough,
H. P. Moore, Lucille Moore, Mint Ol-
iver, Irene Pollard, Kathrine Stew-
art, Lillian Stichler, Aileen Styron,
Ora M. Whitehouse, Sallie White-
house, Sallie May Williamson, Elean-
or Wimberly and Douglas Yater.
On reaching Nolan’s inviting shade,
the crowd alighted “with timorous
accent and dire yell.’
The luncheon was spread by*the
•gills, each being “An unlessoned girl,
, nnschool’d, unpracticed; Happy in
I this, she is not so old, but she mav
learn.”
The jolly crowd came home by
moonlight. We are reminded of the
old Mother Goose rhyme:
is not alone that the girl knows how
to keep house, it makes her want to
keep house.”
The girl who “knows how” to keep
house, and knowing how, wants to
keep house—her own house—is the
girl calculated to hold her husband
to her as with hooks of steel and to
make him and herself happy and
prosperous. Such a girl is never as
a millstone about the neck of the man
she marries. She is not a perpetual
clog upon every effort that he makes
tc get forward in the world. She s
a helpmeet and a companion. It maj
be that it will not be necessary for
her to do her own housekeeping, but
since she knows how to do it she is
competent to manage the servants
and see that they perform thir du-
ties in a satisfactory manner. The
most pitiable woman is she who can-
not do anything useful because she
doesn’t know how, and won’t learn,
but remains always a pensioner and
a burden upon her husband. And
many of our girls are being brought
up to fill no other position.
A Pretty Wedding.
On Monday night, the 27th, at
8:15, in Leland, Miss., Miss Ninna
Lee Crowell was married to Dr. D. L.
Bettison ,of Cleburne. The wedding
was very prettily arranged and per-
fectly planned, although executed
hastily, as the happy pair had not
intended marrying untr next Octo-
ber. There Jvh^nof'sufHcSS

The church was florally lovely
large, snowy magnolias, cut flow,
and stately palms. Two large arclu,
were formed, one at the entrance o
the church ailsle, and one at the
chancel, under which the bride and
groom stood. Cleburne counts her-
self happy and fortunate in securing
Mrs. Bettison as a permanent resi-
dent. She is the niece of our social
leader, Mrs. Frank Williams, and a
most beautiful and winsome young
woman of rare and charming charac-
teristics. Dr. Bettison is highly es-
teemed m business and social circles,
and is a prominent specialist.
For them surely the stars will
guide their course aright and most
joyfully. We join their numerous
friends in wishing them happiness
and prosperity. Dr. and Mrs. Bet-
tison will be at home on Anglin
street.

O, woman! in our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy, and hard to please,
And.variable as the shade
By the light quivering aspen made—-
When pain and anguish wring the
brow,
A ministering angel thou!
Marmion, Canto 6.
Boys and girls come out to plav!
The moon doth shine as bright as

Come with a whoop, and come with \

Come with a good will or not at all!”
All responded with a good will and

A maid whom there were none to

And very few to love;
A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye!
Fair as a star when only one

Peerless June.
And thou art here! I feel it in the
The spacious new home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Bledsoe was beauti-
fully decorated on last Saturday even-
ing, and was thrown open in honor of
the Senior Class.
There were ten tables, and progres-
sive forty-two was indulged in. The
tally cards were very dainty and ap-
propriate, being hand-painted sweet
peas, tied with the class colors, cream
snd lavender. Salted peanuts were
served during the game. Great enthu-
siasm was manifested throughout the
entire evening.
At an appropriate hour. Miss Bess
Sublett, one of last year's* class, as-
sisted by three little girls, daintily
served chicken salad on lettuc®
leaves, butter thins and pickles.
Among those present were quite a
number of last year s class, and not
a few of the Juniors of this year,
each loyally wearing their colors.
Each of the “sweet girl graduates”
had the privilege of inviting one of
their friends, so that the assemblage
was a large one as well as merry.
Borne of the High School teachers
were present, and helped to add en-
joyment to the evening.
Mrs. Bledsoe is an ideal hostess
end understands the art of entertain-
ing easily and gracefully.
The class has worked faithfully
and well for the past term, and now
(hey can all the more enjoy the
pleasures after their labors.
The guests departed at a late hour,
ffich thanking the hostess for one of
the best times of their lives.
