The axerclaeii probably will le held In

Twentieth and Davenport atreets. William
SI. Davldaon, atirarintrndent of ac'tioola,
hug not beea able to decide on a place of
hoUllna; the graduation exerolea. It haa
been customary to hold the exerclaea In
one of the theater, but thla will be im
possible for the midwinter clans at Bone
of the theater hai an open date at this
time. Superintendent Davidson haa made
application to all of the managera of the
various theaters, but has been refused be.
ause of bookings by the theater managera.
The only available place left Is the First
Methodist church and Superintendent Dav
idson will make an effort to get It.
Superintendent. Davidson Is enthusiastic
over the Innovation. "For, years 1 have
been arUatlnc the double commencement,
but until last June f was unable to get
the movement going." said he. "At the
June examination, when 272 ware graduated,
the class was so unwieldy that It was the
most difficult thing imaginable to hold the
exercises. Then we decided to graduate a
class this winter. Seventeen expresfced a
desire to try to graduate and I am happy
to aay that each has succeeded.
"I'nder our policy of receiving studenta
from the grade schools twice a year and
graduating but once a year. It would have
been but' a short time until there would
have been such a congestion that gradu
tion would have become moat difficult.
"t'nder the new scheme I believe that It
will take about five years to equalise con
ditions. In that time we will be graduat
Ing as many as we receive Into the high
school each year, i am free to predict,
also, the number graduated will have been
Increased by half witnln that time."

Green Seal of Quality Furniture, Couch Covers, Curtain Nets, Commodity and Shirt Waist Boxes
. Grace and chacm are qualities usually given in the description of a beautiful woman. The
average man would not think of using these terms in telling about a piece of furniture
he does not conceive of i settee, chair of table as possessing a bewitching charm, elegant grace or perfect sym
metry. To him it is simply a beautiful piece of furniture, which is to be admired for i(s pretty color and artistic design. As he becomes ac
quainted with the various styles in furniture, however, and mentally marks the different carvings, scrolls, quaint designs, staunch models, and
massive woods, he begins to speak of the pieces as having a refined appearance; he calls them graceful, or attributes other fascinating terms to
them. To be surrounded with these bits of grace is one of the delightful pleasures of home-life. Every husband and wife wants home fur
nished in a tasteful manner. There is a commonplace erroneous idea that all beautiful furniture is expensive, but this is not the truth. Much
low priced furniture has the elegance of the more expensive articles. In our January sale we have cut the prices on some of the most expen
live pieces, placing them within the reach of those who do not wish to spend a large amount. The high class articles in the lower prices have
been brought down to values ranging from 20 to 50 per cent below the former selling prices.
