that this fund is not and cannot be

the paying o fConfederate pensioners,

expect a larger payment. There are
no doubt many on the rolls who do

Delicious refreshments
Asked concerning conditions and
prospects at the University, Mr. R. B.
Bresler of the department of extension
said:
“There is every prospect of an in-
creased attendance at the University
this year. Registrar Matthews re-
gards the number of inquiries receiv-
ed during the summer as indicative
of an increase in enrolment. Last
year the University enrolled in the
regular session and summer school
over 3500 students. Besides, 1200 stu-
dents took correspondence work in
neo or another of 250 different courses
offered by the extension department.
More than 10,000 people of Texas at-
tended the demonstration and one
week schools in domestic science con-
ducted at different localities over the
State by University experts. In addi-
tion, many lecturers were sent out,
expert service provided in different
friends, surveys made, the bulletins
published and distributed. Members
of the University faculty are lecturing
and otherwise assisting at sixty-eight
different institutes this week.
“We don’t hear so much these days
about the University being a rich
man’s school, since it has become gen-
erally known that nearly half of the
students attending the University by
their own work pay their own way
either in whole or in part. Neither
do we hear so much now as heretofore
about its being the city people’s
school, since statistics show that
there are more boys and girls in the j
University from the farms than from |
'the towns.”
“There is a constant tendency,”
concluded Mr. Bresler, “to make Uni-
versity work more practical. Domes-
tic economy, journalism, business
training are all new schools which,
in spite of their youth, are large and
flourishing. The school of training
for teachers enrolls over 500 students
in the regular session and nearly a
1,000 in the summer, making it the
largest school of its kind but one in
the United States.”]

SURPRISE PARTY.
At the Grand will be exhibited one
of the most original and novel screen,
j subjects ever offered in the phenome-
inal history of the film. Mlle. Gaby
i Deslys, the internationally famous
star, in a unique photo-play entitled.
“Her Triumph,” produced in France
by the Famous Players Film Company
and released on the Paramount pro-
gram.
The subject was originated and
adapted to the screen solely for the
lovely danseuse, whose talents it fits
perfectly. Mlle. Gaby entered enthu-
siastically into her first screen per-
formance, and it is said that the film
when completed was adequate proof
that the enormous sum expended for
the celebrated beauty’s services was
wisely spent.
“Her Triumph’ ’contains some of
Gaby’s most world-renowned dances,
interwoven with a tense, dramatic plot
that holds the interest from the first
flash to the stirring climax. The
drama at first shows Gaby as a hum-
ble chorus girl in Paris, whose intelli-
gence and eagerness are noticed by
her manager, who makes her under-
study to the great Mlle. Simonde, a
famous and very jealous leading lady.
Simonde, who is in town with the lead-
ing man, Claude Devereaux, no-
tices his attention to Gaby, believes
that he has fallen in love with her,
and tries to have her ejected from the
company. Failing in this, Simonde
resigns, which gives the ambitious
Gaby the chance she has so long
awaited, and she goes on in Simonde’s
place. Her performance that night is
so splendid that Simonde, who has
come to witness her understudy’s fail-
ure, is so enraged by her triumph that
she pulls a revolver from her bosom
and attempts to kill her rival. But
the bullet intended for Gaby fells in-
stead, Claude Devereaux, her danc-
ing partner, who however, is only
slightly wounded, and Simonde, baf-
fled and furious, is forced to read
in the morning’s paeprs of her under-
study’s wonderful hit of the preceding
night. Still more avid for revenge,
Mlle. Simonde plans a terrible down-
fall for Gaby, and promises Victor, her
I own lover, to wed him, if he succeeds
(business?” As a special part of the!
Master’s business that the ladies took !
up at this study hour was the real
business part of our society—how its
reports are made, when and to whom.
The work was very clearly explained
by Mrs. Paris Smith who had colored
charts showing the outline in a evr’y
attractive way.
Then a quiz on the conference min-
utes was held. After all the work was
done the business hour closed with
prayer, after which the social hour
was enjoyed and Mrs. Tew refreshed
her guests with pineapple ice and
cake.
As announced this was the day for
the Virginia K Johnson shower. There
were many beautiful and useful arti-
cles presented to be sent to the home
by the ladies.
