THE PAST IS SBCURB
THB PUTURB IS GOLDBN

It is manifest tliat public seutiment favors tlie policy of this progressive store. Its methods, so modern in every
detail, have commanded exceptional compliments where adverse criticism was exi)ected. Every day we are more and more
convinced that the people are witli us in spirit and deed. It does seem that new patrons iu multitudes are vying with those
who have been our clients for over a third of a century in demonstrating their appreciation of the efforts we are making.

The comfort of customers in every way is looked to, so that purchasing is rendered pleasant as well as profitable
Courtesy from employees to shoppers is a rule strongly insisted upon, and whenever a fault occurs haste will be made to rectify
it. The enthusiasm always attendant upon a popular success inspires and dominates the head of eaoh department, while the
corps of assistant workers are equally energetic and interested.

Intimate friends and merchants in the same and other lines of business have evinced their recognition of our leader-
ship by cordial and hearty congratulations. Substantial and conservative, of a high grade of excellence and in perfect taste,
is the universal verdict passed upon the varied stocks and their arrangement. Beginning with the window displays, the
impression is at once created that exclusive and refined ideas prevail within the portals. Kich fabrics, shimmering silks, a
dainty display of ribbons, hosiery and gloves indicate the character of the entire establishment.

A rear annex is the home of the largest assortment of carpets, rugs, curtains, draperies and upholstery requisites to be
seen in this country, and the whole vast basement is absolutely surrendered to furniture complete lines of all kinds.

Our cash system is unsurpassed. It is as noiseless, swift and unerring as applied electricity can make it. The
facilities possessed by the store itself for retail trade is unequalled by any other building in the South. Accounts opened
with responsible parties. When desiring to secure credit please give references, if it is the first transaction you have had
with us. One price and plain figures. Samples cheerfully sent upon application.

H HIGH-SOUNDING baptismal name, such as George Washington
or Napoleon Buonaparte, is often united in a highly ludicrous way
with a trifling character; why, we do not know, unless the weight
of the name exerts a crushing force upon babyhood powers. The hero name
and the unheroic life do not always go together, however, as the subject of this
little sketch strikingly illustrates.

George Washington Scott was born at x\lexandria, Huntingdon County,
Penn., on February 22, 1S29 just ninety-seven years to the day after the
Revolutionary hero, whose name he bears, first saw the light. His bovhood
and school-days passed quietly away on the picturesque banks of the blue
Juniata ; on attaining his majority, however, he set out to seek his fortune
elsewhere.

Not to California where the "gold fever" was drawing hundreds and thou-
sands, but to the Land of Flowers did he direct his steps or, rather, his horse's
steps, for all the long irksome journey was made on horseback. His first South-
ern winter was spent in Quincy, but the remaining nineteen years of his Florida
residence were passed in Tallahassee. Here it was that he "set up house-keep-
ing," Miss Bucher, of Carlisle, Penn., becoming his wife in 1S53. All the
early journeys to and from his native town were made on horseback ; and
it throws a strong and beautiful light on the character, both of the young man

and of his mother, to learn that, at her wish, he never traveled on Sundav, and
always went to Sunday-scliool if one were accessible.

By and by the civil war broke out, and Mr. Scott, obeying the voice of
principle rather than of preference, took the Southern side, becoming first a
private and later a colonel in the Confederate army. Directly after the war the
white liemocrats of Florida showed their confidence in Col. Scott by electing
him Governor of the State. Those were the "trying times" of reconstruction,
however, and the Republicans counted him out.

From 1870 to 1877 the quaint old city of Savannah was Col. Scott's home.
In 1 5)77, fit 'he ''"le of the yellow fever epidemic in Savannah, he came to
Decatur; so that for twenty years his presence has been a benediction in this
little North Georgia town.

How, in 1889, Col. Scott, in memory of his dear mother, Mrs. Agnes Scott,
built the Institute, and what has been his connection with the school since, is
told elsewhere. Every Institute girl would like our first Annual to have a more
detailed sketch of his life, but we know he would have it as brief as possible.
Every girl would like the world to know how constant, how thoughtful and how
delicate is Col. Scott's kindness to the Agnes Scott folk, and how rarely beau-
tiful is the life and character we have had glimpses of from time to time. But
because it would give him pain to say much, we must content ourselves with the
single wish; "Our dear Col. Scott -God bless him!"

CD'S most perfect work is a noble woman. Who could help
saying and believing this when he stands witbi'n the walls of
Agues Scott and remembers that this is a grand monument and
tribute to the virtues of one woman who, though dead, yet lives in the grand
results which her life and her influence have brought about. Thou, Agnes
Irvine Scott, hast left thv impress on many through this school which has been
raised to thy memorv.

Agnes Irvine Scott was born in Ballykiel, County Down, Ireland, June 13,
1799, and was the youngest of three children. Her father, William Irvine,
died in the same vear which witnessed the birth of his youngest child, and six
years later her mother was married to Edward Stitt, a distant relative. Novem-
ber 29, 1814, Edward Stitt died, and the family then consisted of his widow.
Mary Stitt, and her two daughters, Susanna, then married to James Stewart,
and Agnes.

After her father's death Agnes Irvine made her home for several years with
her uncle, James Irvine, who lived in Newry. James Irvine was very desirous
of adopting his niece, but his plans in that respect were against the wishes of
Agnes Irvine's mother, who did not wish to be separated from her daughter
and who had decided to leave Ireland and come to America where she thought
better advantages were offered to her children than at the old home in Ireland.
It was on the 29th of March, 1816, that Mary Stitt, her two daughters and son-
in-law sailed from Warren's Point, Ireland, for Philadelphia, and thirty-six days
after they landed at the latter city. It had been no easy thing for Agnes

Irvine to leave her comfortable home at Newry and take a long voyage in a
small sailing vessel such as was then in use, and the trial was made even
heavier by the loss of her sister Susanna, who died and was buried before the
ship reached its destination.

After landing in Philadelphia the small party traveled through the country
by coach, for this was before the days of fast express trains, to their new home
at Alexandria, in the interior of Pennsylvania. Here they settled among old
friends and relatives, and here it was that Agnes Irvine was married to John
Scott on the 29th of October.

The Irvines were of Scotch-Irish stock, and of the true Presbyterian type,
so it is not surprising to learn from the records that soon after reaching Alex-
andria Agnes Irvine and her mother gave their letters of dismissal from the
church at Kilkiel, Ireland, into the care of the Hartslog Presbyterian congre-
gation. t)f this church she was a member until the day of her death.

John Scott died in 1S50, but his wife still continued to live in Alexandria.
She died October 23, 1877, aged 78 years and was buried in the beautiful ceme-
tary near Alexandria and overlooking the valley of the Juniata river.

These are the simple facts, the outline of the life of one whose name to
many women has become inseparably associated with the happiest part of their
lives. To these and to all present students of Agnes Scott what has been
written is enough, for //ley no not need to be reminded of the life and character
of her whose name has become so dear to them. Let the pen then be silent and
let not the hand of any, however tender, draw aside the veil, that the staring
multitude may look into the inner life of this Christian woman.

ANNUAL STAFF

preface

jNE afternoon, late in last February, a group of girls was discussing affairs in general, and longing
with the rest of the world for something new. "This routine of school life becomes unen-
durably monotonous," moaned one, "and I would give anything for a little variety." "We
need some point of common interest to arouse the girls from this selfish indifference of theirs,
and to draw them closer together," said another. " While you are amusing and benefiting us
you might be charitable enough to consider the good of the school," chimed in some one else.
Whereupon a girl, who always has ideas, electrified her audience by exclaiming: "I have it I
Let's get out an annual. We will enjoy doing it ; it will call forth an untold amount of latent
talent, and it will be to the interest of the school." Of course a chorus of objections was raised.
"We are inexperienced," "We are deplorably ignorant," "Southern girls have never done it
that I ever heard of," " We will never pay expenses," "We have not time;" these and dozens
of other obstacles were all mentioned at once, which is probably the reason they had no weight.
The proposer of the annual carried her point, and then and there the board of editors was
elected, committees appointed, and earnest work begun.

Such was the origin of the first annual published by the girls of the Agnes Scott Institute.
The "Aurora" for '97 is intended to present life at the A. S. I. from the students' point of view, and
is almost entirely the result of efforts on part of the pupils. However, without the co-operation of Dr. Gaines,
Miss Field and other members of the Faculty, the enterprise must have been abandoned in the beginning, and
for their assistance we return warmest thanks. We are very grateful to the student body and to the alumni for
their interest and valuable assistance. We also desire to thank Mr. Will Larned for his kindness in contributing
several pen sketches.

The courtesy and efficient aid of our able publishers. The Franklin Publishing Company, puts us under many
obligations to them.

We now present the Aurora to you, and trust that you will be indulgent in your criticisms.

The Editors.

AS born at Tillico Plains, Monroe County, Tenn., July 25, 1852,
and was graduated from Cumberland University, literary course'
June, 1S70.

After graduation he read a course of medicine and attended lectures, but
cne study of medicine was soon dropped, and in September, 1873, he entered
Cnion Theological Seminary, Hampden Sidney, Va., from which institu-
tion he was graduated May, 1876. In September of the same year he was
ordained to the ministry by Ebenezer Presbytery, at Hopewell church, near
Paris, Va., and from that time until 1896 he was regularly engaged in active
duties of his calling. During this period, from 1876 to 1896, he had five pas-
torates, one in Kentucky of about eighteen months, and two in the valley of
Virginia of about five years each and the fourth at Decatur, Ga. Dr. Gaines
took charge of this last church in December, 1888, and continued in the pasto-
rate until June, 1896. These eight j-ears were prosperous ones for the Decatur
Presbyterian church and it soon so grew in members that a larger place of
worship had to be built.

But while the church itself increased in membership, there quietly grew up
under its care, and by the gift of one of its members, an institution which has
since become known as Agnes Scott Institute. Dr. Gaines was President of
the Board of Trustees of this institution from the very beginning and has ever

since been intimately connected with the school. He was instrumental in gain-
ing the first teachers, these being Miss Hopkins and Miss Cook, of Virginia.
He formed the Bible curriculum and held that chair, and has besides had general
charge of affairs. In May, 1S96, Dr. Gaines's duties in connection with the
school, being considered by the Board of Trustees arduous and important
enough for him to devote his whole time to them, he was elected to the Presi-
dency of the institution. After due deliberation, he asked for and received his
dismissal from active work in the ministry and accepted this position, thus being
brought into even closer connection wiih the school.

In July, 1S96, Dr. Gaines received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from
Davidson College, and in this same year he published the third number of a
series of Bible notes, intended for the use of Bible classes in colleges and in
the church, but especially for his own classes at Agnes Scott. The first num-
ber had appeared the year before, and the second will probably be published
in a year, thus completing the series.

To Dr. Gaines, as President and teacher of Agnes Scott, is due a great deal
of the school's influence for good and for the advancement of the cause of edu-
cation, and in every respect has his loyalty, love, and zeal for this institution
been unchanging.

O

NCE upon a time," during the first happy year of the organiza-
tion of the Agnes Scott Institute, we had with us a poetess
whose best productions were dedicated to our dear principal.
Miss Hopkins. Would that her muse were mine, now that my pen fails to
indite the thoughts of my heart. If it could express my heart's language this
poor tribute of love and reverence would be a glowing eulogy worthy of its
subject.

Six years have passed since that "first year," since those so fortunate as to
be "Agnes Scott girls" then, sat under Miss Hopkins's patient, gentle tuition
and her firm, unwavering but tender rule as principal of that beloved institution.

Miss Nannette Hopkins was educated at HoUins Institute, Va., receiving
a full diploma from that institution. After graduation she had charge, for one
year, of a small school at her home. Warm Springs, Va. After this she was
associated as Senior Assistant for five years with Mrs. J. B. W'inston, Principal
of Valley Seminary, Waynesboro, Va.

In 1889 she came to Georgia to take the position of principal in a school
at Decatur, then known as the Decatur Female Seminary, but afterward as the
Agnes Scott Institute. This position Miss Hopkins has continued to hold until
the present time.

Now, do you who do not know her, imagine the principal of the Agnes
Scott Institute to be an ogress ? Never, even in the loneliness, homesickness
and gloom of their first experience as boarding-school girls did "Miss Nannette"
seem to her pupils other than a guardian angel. Does any "old girl" who may
read this remember the comfort Miss Hopkins gave her during her first days at
school while wrestling with entrance examinations and dreadful longings for
home? Ah! "a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind," and who can sa>' we

didn't love Miss Hopkins better because she told us sJie had been homesick on
just such an occasion. We fortunate "old girls" knew Miss Hopkns under favor-
able circumstances, we were nearer to her and to each other than in those days
of the Agnes Scott's larger growth. How patiently and carefully she drilled
us in her beloved mathematics, and how vividly ye historian remembers the
scoldings she didn't get because of her unusual density in that useful but unat-
tractive science. But this long-suffering forbearance, instead of fostering lazi-
ness in her pupils, incited them to deeds of study of which they had never before
dreamed ; and to have her softly utter, "I am very much gratified by your im-
provement," was equal to laurel wreath and laudatory sonnets to an Olympic
victor.

After the Agnes Scott's first year Miss Hopkins's duties forbade her doing
any class work, so her mantle as a teacher of mathematics fell upon other and
worthy shoulders, and while students loved these successors thev missed Miss.
Hopkins's presence in the class-room.

"A wonderful little woman" a certain admirer said of her not long sincev

and wonderful she is. In thinking of her personality one who knows Miss

Hopkins well is reminded of Mrs. Browning's lines:

"Such a blue inner light from her eyelids outbroke.
You looked at her silence and fancied she spoke;
When she did, so peculiar yet soft was the tone,
Tho' the loudest spoke also you heard her alone."

Gentle as a May morning zephyr, dainty as a violet, vet her influence is all-
pervading and powerful as a sovereign's. Blessings upon the little woman !
Her girls will never forget her, and those who have known her longest feel sure
of their places in her memory, worthy or unworthy, for tliey know "she will not
let their faults erase their names from off her heart."

H Btiet Ibistor^ of Hgnes Scott Ifnstitute

HE absence in this section of a school for young women,
of high grade and fine equipment, under the auspices
of our church, had frequently led to the remark that
Presbyterians were not doing as much as other denomi-
nations for the education of their daughters ; but such
criticisms have at last been silenced by the establish-
ment of an institution which has proved itself the peer
of any of its contemporaries in the scope and thorough-
ness of its work. At the beginning of his pastorate of the
Presbyterian church in Decatur, Ga., Dr. F. H. Gaines
became impi^ssed with the belief that a school of high
order would be an inestimable blessing to this portion of the country. He first
brought the matter to the attention of the session of his church and other promi-
nent citizens ; meetings were held for consultation as to the feasibility of the
plan, and before many weeks had elapsed the whole community had become
interested. A capital stock of S5,ooo had been subscribed, a company formed,
a charter for the " Decatur Female Seminary," under the control of the Presby-
terian church, secured, and a Board of Trustees elected.

The first term of the new school began September 25, 1889, with sixty-five
pupils enrolled. Miss Nannette Hopkins, of Warm Springs, Va., had been
elected Principal, with Miss Mattie E. Cook, Assistant. Miss Fannie Pratt,
Teacher of Piano, and Miss Valeria Fraser, Teacher of Art and Physical Cul-
ture, were residents of Decatur. The large two-story dwelling, erected by Judge
Hilliard, ex-minister to Brazil, had been rented by the Trustees for the use of
the school, and the boarding department placed under the supervision of Mrs.
E. G. Elyea, of Atlanta.

In May of the next year Col. George \V. Scott donated to this institution
^40,000 upon the condition that the name of the school should be changed to
"Agnes Scott Institute," as he wished his gift to be devoted to the memory o
his deceased mother. He then purchased the rented building and lot occupied
by the school, together with the vacant lot adjoining, upon which he had decided
to erect, at his own expense, a handsome and commodious school building.

By September, 1890, the school was ready to enter upon its second year.
The faculty had been increased by the election of three new members : Dr. J. S.
Rogers to the chair of Science, and Miss L. A. Field to that of Latin and
French. Professor Gustave Meyer came as director of the music department.
Growth and prosperity had compelled the Institute to enlarge her borders, and
Mrs. Walter's residence, on the opposite side of the railroad from the building
already occupied, was rented as a home for the boarding pupils

The foundations for tbe new building had been laid during the summer,
and its progress from day to day was watched with eager interest. Days and
weeks wove themselves into months, and the school term closed ; another sum-
mer vacation wore away and the beginning of a new school year arrived. This
was a new era in the history of Agnes Scott Institute. Those who returned the
evening before the opening found the newly completed building brilliant with
electric light. The spacious parlors, dining-room, and dormitories were all
ready ; every room had its dainty, fresh furnishing, homelike and inviting, with
comfort and beauty for its occupants. Each recitation, art, and music room
was supplied with every appliance for study or work in its department. One
piano had been sufficient for the first year, now there were twenty. At this
time the faculty numbered fifteen, and the enrollment, composed of representa-
tives from eleven States, had almost reached three hundred.

The formal dedication of tlie building took place in November, while the
Synod of Georgia was holding its sessions in Decatur. In response to the invi-
tation of the Board of Trustees, the members of that body were present to wit-
ness the dedicator)' exercises and to consecrate with their prayers the offering
made that day to God and the church. When Col. Scott had delivered to the
Trustees the deeds and the statements of expenditure, it was found that his gift
amounted to Si 12,000. He has since increased it by other additions.

It has been the object in establishing this institution to provide not only
for the complete development of the physical and intellectual powers but
also for the culture of the heart, and by refining and Christian influences to
strengthen and ennoble the character. With a liberal course of study, care-

fullv arranged, with a high standard of scholarship, and with the Bible as a
text-book, it is hoped that this broad culture and these high aims mav be
attained.

As from the crest of the watershed upon which its beautiful edifice stands,
the waters, dividing, flow to the Gulf and to the Atlantic, so from this school as
from a fountain mav streams of influence go forth to enrich and beautify the
homes of our land bv carrying with them lessons of fidelity to duty and devotion
to truth and religion. And thus mav it become, for her whose name it per-
petuates, a memorial living in the hearts and characters of those to whom
Agnes Scott shall have been endeared by the tenderest ties and by the sweetest
associations.

QuES. Where must we go to study music ?

Ans. Go to Europe.

QuES. But suppose one is not able to go to Europe ?

Ans. Then by all means go somewhere and stud\' with a German profes-
-iOT or a Polish professor, or anybody with an unpronounceable name, long
hair, and who talks rough, one who is so bewitchingly strict, one who tells you
you are an iJiot. and almost kicks you off the stool in his impatience to show
vou the only correct way. Oh 1 he i.s so charming and eccentric. Study under
any one but an American. Americans know how to do nothing but make
money and spend it on foreign artists and fakes, and American fakes with for-
eign names.

A fond mother who was enthusiastic over her daughter's musical education
was telling me of "dear Susie's" talent, and how rapidly she had advanced.
That she had just learned to play Gustave flange's "Flower Song," and she
thought she was now ready for a German professor. Her dear friend, ^frs. Gold-

bug Ignorance, had said she would not think of letting Aei- daughter take under
any one but a German; that Herr Doctor Knowallstein was such an excellent
teacher, and no one could teach like the Germans. I happened to know that the
Herr Doctor's grandfather really did come from Germany, but this distinguish-
ed grandson had never seen Germany, but was from Germantown, Penn.

There is a very celebrated teacher and composer now living in New \ ork
City. When he was in Europe students, especially Americans, flocked to study
with him. //c moved to New York; t/iey still go to Europe. Who do they
studv with ? Just anybody in Europe. The money is theirs, and spend it
they must .

I was invited to attend the grand musicale at the Commencement of a
large college for women. The directress of music had studied in Germany
four, five or six years. She played on and taught piano, violin, violincello,
mandolin, guitar, and for a recreation, painted family portraits. There were
ten numbers on the program. I will only mention a few : "i,)ld Black Joe,"

29

with variations, three of Liszfs Rhapsodies, -Alice, where Art Tliou," with
variations. The college band played a grand march composer unknown
(perhaps he would not tell his name), and when encored they played a medley
of Dixie and Yankee Doodle.

After visiting another school and paying close attention to their manner
of practicing, I have thought of writing an article on " How to practice," not
giving myself the credit for originating such a splendid system. From close
observation and constant listening have concluded it would be well for pupils
to have a few rules to follow. I will give you the benefit of a few notes I expect
to enlarge on in my article.

1. TO BE A GOOD SIGHT-READER

Practice difficult overtures, symphonies, el cetera, arranged for four, eight
or twelve hands. On first reading notice tempo given for metronome ; set me-
tronome accordingly. Do not count aloud (I would advise you not to count at
all, but some teachers prefer it). Do not notice expression marks, such as p,
loud; pp, louder; ppp, similar to a cyclone; f, soft; ff, softer; fff, whisper.
Put your foot on loud pedal and retain it, never raising it until the end of piece.
Play always with a strong accent. If all do not strike the final cord together,
sit perfectly still and wait for the backward ones. All rise from the piano at
once and file off the stage two abreast.

2. TO PR.ACTICE .SCALES

Practice very rapidly both hands at once, so one hand may drown the
deficiencies of the other. Hoiding right foot on loud pedal through all the
scales.

3. TO LEARN .A NEW PIECE

Never take the trouble to look at the composer's name or to learn anything"
about him, for I assure you it is folly and waste of time. No doubt you are-
learning to play for "company," and company will not ask you anything about
^uch things. But I am wandering from my subject Practice straight through
the piece, never stop to learn difficult passages, alwaj's playing fast with right
foot on loud pedal.

Strange to say such good judges and thorough musicians as our present
music faculty disagree with me on the above rules. Our Director, Mr. Joseph
Macelan (he is neither Doctor, Prof., M.D., LL.D , D.D., or Ph.D.), preaches
slow practice, read slow, and I am loath to confess he has converted a great
many of his pupils to his way of thinking. Oh, 'tis true they may play a few
pieces very well, play them more correctly and with more finish, but we want to-
play a great many. What does it matter if we make mistakes, our friends con-
stantly remind us that they would not recognize the mistakes (neither will they
recognize your good playing).

We have at present a very full orchestra in school composed of seventeen
pianos, four violins, and thirty-two human voices. Concerts given dail)' at the
following hours : 8 A. M. to 2 P. M., then refreshments ; 3 to 5 P. M. rest and
refreshments; 7 to 9 P. M. rest. These concerts are free to all visitors but very

DKTAILED account of the eventful career of the
remarkable ([uartet which composes the present Senior
Class would (firstly) tantalize, (secondly) paralyze, and
(thirdlyand lastly, brethren) annihilate the reader. Hav-
ing been strictly charged to eliminate (oh, algebra,
sacred to thy memory I ) ajfaires du axur from chronicle,
we will be compelled to present " Romeo and Juliet "
with Runieo left out. It may be assumed that summer

flirtations ani.1 " desperate cases " have thus far constituted the chief events in

the life of the " Big Four."

Even the most erudite member, "the modest little girl with the downcast

eye," supposed by the teachers to have a soul which thrills only in contemplation

of "apperceptions" and empirical psychology, and a heart that beats only for

analytics and mental philosophy, several decades ago indulged in "love's young
dream." Having seen in her copy of Tennyson the passage

" It is better to have loved and lost
Than ncNcr to have loved at all,"

heavily underscored, the chronicler exclaimed " Eureka ! " antl following this
slender clue set about with tlie zeal of a Scotland \'ard detective to unravel
this mystery, believing that her overflowing sentiment must have a source
although, like that of the Nile, up to this time unknown. The curious public
will be relieved to hear that once in " auld lang syne " her heart had its mate.
Alas I he died under a dental operation in infancy 1 no wonder now that she
is wedded to books, conscientiously taking her daii}' walks that she may the
more religiously devour, digest and assimilate the world's most profound
thoughts. Since the above discovery we haye decided that her conception of

tlie binomial theorem was, that it is her duty to learn enough for two. What-
ever the cause, certain it is that she has made a record as a student unparalleled
in the history of this institution, and as yet unapproached by the other three
' variables." Miss Strong will probably teach in Walhalla, and we do not
doubt that she will most scrupulously conform to the rules of education, mental,
moral and physical, as laid down by fierbert Spencer.

Apropos of "Spencer on Education," Miss Little is an enthusiast on the
subject of the proper training of children. A treatise on "The Management
of Orphan Asylums" is constantly upon her table, much more in evidence than
her chemistry or Divine Comedy. This trait of her character has become so
widely Unown, that only a few days since she received a letter from a reverend
gentleman, recently bereaved, tendering this "airy fairy Lillian" an opportu-
nity for putting into practice her pet hobby, to wit: The position of step-
mother of his eight interesting children. From the serious look that she has
worn we feel called upon to congratulate her upon having thus earlv met her
destinies. When one of us remarked, "Lily, how could you undertake it?" her
reply was, "Why, girls, he was simply irresistible !" With that smile of hers,
'so childlike and so bland," she has impressed our instructors with the guile-
less innocence of her character. Little have they dreamed that this grave and
reverend senior has been the leading spirit in all sub rosa frolics. Like "Joey
B.. devilish sly," is she, and it is known to only a few that even Mr. Davis
has so far succumbed to her wiles that he has for years been " parliceps criiii-
inis" in systematically robbing the larder, so that she might have sweetmeats to
make glad the hearts(?) of serenaders. For quickness of memory and capacity
to meet emergencies she has no equal. The rapidity with which she can get
up her lessons or prepare for the ne.xt car for .Atlanta is only equaled by her
faculty for uttering the thoughts that flow so rapidly from her vigorous mind.
If "a woman's function is plainly to talk," then Miss Little is ably fulfilling
her mission. She has taken the front rank as an elocutionist and has succeeded
as well in interpreting the thoughts of others as in expressing her own. It

needs no prophet to say that one who has so universally won the love of the
schoolmates will captivate many hearts in Macon's society circle.

Judging from her diminutive form, Julia Palmer Whitfield came from fairy-
land.

"So light her tread
That scarce the hairbell
Droops its tiny head."

It is generally conceded that she was born in the Land of Flowers during
the present century. The leading trait of her character seems to be love of
fragrance, the laboratory is her arcadia and bicarbonate of sulphur her chief
delight. Those who have observed her air of contentment and her general
attitude when performing experiments with the above named will always re-
member it as the ideal picture of supreme satisfaction. It is supposed that her
fondness for sulphur prompted her to ask if all "McFadden's Yellow Kids"
were yellow. Her preferences are groundpeas, the Mandevilles, lunch at
Nonesuch, olives and trigonometry- Her chief occupation is ostensibly solicit-
ing ads for this Annual, but really going on "bums." She finds her diversions
in "mental gymnastics," waving at the car on Sunday afternoons and ruling the
M. L. S. according to her own sweet will. Like the first Hebrew king, she is
head and shoulders above her companions. The lines,

" See the dipper all aglow,
'Twas scoured with Sapolio,"

have hitherto been supposed to be legendary, but Miss Whitfield assures us that
they state cold facts, for she herself, "towering o'er the wrecks of time," did the
work. The tapering fingers that could light the stars afresh will learn not less
heavenly ministry in Johns Hopkins Hospital, and so the hands which might
well serve as an artist's model will always be "beautiful hands."

Some six years ago the fourth member of the Senior Class entered these
walls. Devotion to study and aversion to men have been her chief characteris-
tics. Being genuinely fond of cats she seems predestined to decline life in the
plural number. The fads of this inexplicable maiden are as many as moods.

varying from chocolate drops and football to surgery. She dotes on sketching
and talks learnedly of art, though as ignorant of instruction in that line as Jack
the Giant Killer. She leaves her teachers with regret, but fears they cannot
share her sentiments; she has given them more trouble than they have given her;
they have tried to lead her as good shepherds, but candor compels us to admit
that she has not considered Green's Short History, moral science and trig as
green pastures or still waters. Last year she expected to study surgery, but is
now in doubt, which fact seems to give credence to certain rumors that she is
thinking of adopting the theory of dual existence .

The Class of '97 has been, in the language of our esteemed instructors, a
most remarkable one. Severally and jointly it represents brains, sweetness,
strength and "general good-for-nothingness." If we forget each other let
our tongues cleave to the roofs of our mouths (if there's any worse punishment
for woman, when found make note of).

Immortal four ! should you be cremated, here's peace to your ashes, other-
wise may violets bloom over your grave.

Eternally yours,

"Ye Chronicler." '97.

Ibistov^ of the Junior Class

T was in September, 1S94, that the members of the
present Junior Class entered the hallowed precincts of
Agnes Scott as full-fledged, verdant Freshmen some
of us had been here before, but we have sufificient rea-
sons for not caring to speak of that period in our his-
tory. Strange to say, our arrival seemed to create no
great interest or excitement ; but this was probably due
not to our lack of importance (perish the thought*, but
to lack of numbers for the class of '98 has never been a very large one. As
we now look back over that year from our standpoint as Juniors, we do not
remember that anything of especial interest happened, except that a large part
of the class became disgusted at the outrageous ignorance of the faculty, and
therefore left at the end of the year never to return. But the general monotony
is easih- accounted for on the score that as a class our conduct has always been
above par.

Sophomore year is ever memorable for two things. First, it was at this
time that we were introduced to Gaines's Bible Notes. It was with fear and
trembling and awe-stricken countenances that we first handled those dark-hued
volumes, but we have since bravely recovered from that fright, having found
that those notes were not so terrible as report pictured them. This period is
also to be remembered, and with much sadness, as it was at this time that our
brilliant class regretfully withdrew itself from another one of its members,
mathematics having proved a stumbling block and an unconquerable obstacle
to the further progress of one more poor mortal.

However, the recollections of these sad events are banished from our minds

when we think of the Cotton States and International Exposition, and the Mid-
way. For once we say it proudly, boastfully the girls of '98 distinguished
themselves, for did they not resolutely avoid the vain attractions of the Govern-
ment Building, the Auditorium, the Educational Exhibits, and other such friv-
olous things, and devote their time to " shooting the chutes" and visiting the
Streets of Cairo ? Aye, and one ambitious student, aspiring after eternal fame,
is even known to have offered herself to the manager of the Beauty Show as
one competent to fill the bill for the new woman ; but being refused, she solaced,
herself with the next most desirable thing rides in the rolling " ship of the
desert." "Jim " was entranced with the loud-voiced spellers, and that probably
accounts for the fact that she was so often seen gazing at them with envious
looks, although some base-minded persons //<? insist that there were other reasons
and, as a proof of their statement, bring foiTvard the utterly baseless fabrication
that she was seen, once at least, wandering disconsolately about the Exposition
grounds with eyes fixed on a wofuUy thin purse whose contents were just
enough to buy a sandwich and to pay return car fare,

The year 'gb-'gy opened bright and encouraging, and as Juniors we have
received our fund of knowledge so fast and to such an alarming extent, that
our admiring friends, fearing the outcome, have trembled ; but we, conscious o
unusual strength of mind, can confidently assure them that we will in no way
whatever be injured by our great learning. Sometimes, indeed, the weight of
their scholarly attainments has rested so heavily upon a few of our number that
they have felt as if they must leave generally in haste but the inducements-
for remaining have always been sufficient to keep these heavily burdened
ones among us.

In these nine months of our Junior history we have made the important
discovery that an uncorlced bottle of CS.j will bring peace, quiet and loneliness
in the library, and is therefore to be recommended to all who desire to keep
order in that region; we have found that calls made after 10:30 P.M. are
attended with many dangers to the unwary, and are likely to be brought to an
abrupt close ; we have learned from bitter experience that a course of Egyptian
hieroglyphics ought to precede the study of Junior Bible ; finally, we have
learned that there exists a strong attraction between that species of man known
as night watchman and a pitcher of water, and the force of gravity will, under
favorable circumstances, cause the contents of said pitcher to be precipitated
upon the unsuspecting head of said night watchman.

From these few instances it will easily be seen that we have spent our time
profitably and have not sought after the idle things of the moment as some mis-
guided members of the highly revered (?) !;enior Class have done. But our
spirit of inquiry has not been altogether spent on things outside our individual
selves some of it has been expended in the attempt to lay bare the particular
foibles of the various members of the class yet not the foibles alone, for our

searching investigation has at last revealed those particular branches of knowl-
edge which are most dear to those who are the bright and shining lights of the
class. " Curly " has such a deep interest in metaphysics that she feels that she
cannot exist without the study of that branch of science, while Edna has-
great hopes of becoming a famous physicist, as her achievements in that line at
Agnes Scott have been something wonderful. Two other hard-working stu-
dents put 'ther best^ thoughts in a different line, and of these one. Corinne,
already bids fair to compete for honors with Euclid, and "Jim" reads Latin as
fluently as if it were her native tongue, and composes poetry which excels that
of Horace.

. . . . Now, at the time of writing, the year is drawing to a close.
The memory of this time, with its fun and frolics, and even with its hard study
will always find a warm welcome in our hearts ; but now we are sad, for we
ring the death knell of Junior life and of all unfulfilled aspirations. One more
year is almost gone, and only one more lies before us. To the old, " Reguiescat
in pace" to the new a welcome, and may it bring joys and as pleasant associa-
tions as the old. IIiSTORACUS.

E, the Sophomores of Agnes Scott, have ever)' reason to
be conceited, for every one thinks all the world of us,
but so far our inherent modesty has prevented this, and
vj we trust that it will continue to do so. It is true, in
our own estimation, v/e are as brilliant a class as has
ever blessed Agnes Scott, yet we always say this not
boastingly but simplv in justice to ourselves. Our age, though not as great as
the Juniors and Seniors, is yet gieater than that of the Freshmen, and we con-
duct ourselves accordingly. Once or twice we have heard ourselves disdain-
fullv spoken of bv the Seniors as "those gay Sophomores," but we think that
our dignity is sufficient to relieve us of that imputation. Our career has been
as varied as we could wish, perhaps a little too much so, for sometimes we
become a trifle bewildered by being summoned before the Principal individu-
ally as well as collectively. However, we are well content with our lot. In

September. '95, we as Freshmen entered upon our course with a full sense of
our importance. This same importance was evidently not appreciated by that
august bodv, the faculty, since they did not show us the honor we had expected,
but, nothing daunted, we went calmly on our way, knowing that actions speak
louder than words. Soon after entering our class was somewhat diminished
by the departure of several of our members whom various misfortunes among
which were a disinclination to study and a desire of rest, better known as lazi
ness had driven to take such a step. Later on in the year math proved a
serious obstacle to many, and they were forced by "circumstances over which
they had no control" to drop out of their beloved class. The others have sur-
vived, though they have many scars as testimony of the wounds they received
when wrestling with dragons, otherwise "the studies necessary to complete the
course." We entered upon our Sophomore year glorying in ourselves and
scorning the Freshmen. Our introduction to the Bible course, though a severe

*shock and a great mental strain, did not overcome us, for we toolc it as we did
medicine when our mothers said, "It is hard to take, but it will do you good ''
But we do not study all the time. <-_)h, no I that would make us dull company
indeed, and who on earth wishes to be dull company? We are well informed
on all the topics of the day, and it was a base libel cast upon us when it was
said that one of our members remarked, "Did you know that Cuba is trying to
secede from the Union ?"

Once we brought down upon our offending heads the greatest wrath of the
Juniors by s nging a remarkably poor attempt at a parody
' Their minds are lame.
Their knowledge the same.
But thev are the brightest of all, Ihey <talm."

They say they are bright, and they may be, Ijut we doubt it. When, in the
course of human events, did the Juniors ever gain an advantage over the .Sopho-
mores ? Naturally, then, if the Juniors are bright the Sophomores are brighter.

Quod eratilemonstranduin. About the middle of the Sophomore year the grave-
ness of certain offenses committed by the majority of the class led to a sudden
reform in the manners and morals of the whole body. This state of affairs
lasted for about a week, nnich to the discomfort of the Sophomores and their
friends. The class soon relapsed into its old habit of being comfortably bad
and all went well again at least as well as before.

In the two years yet before this class we expect to surpass all records of
preyious times. The Junior Class does not dare compete with us. Little won-
der, when

There was once a proud Junior girl
Whose hair with terror did curl

When we told her a tale

That made her turn pale.
And she's lived ever since in a whirl.

IF^istor^ of the J^resbinan Class

|T is very true that we are young yet, but we have a history
nevertheless. Our history may not have been very remarlv-
able, but it has been at least exciting. The class was
organized in September, 1896, and went earnestly to
work ; so earnestly that there are not a few girls who have
succeeded in doing excellent work. The last year has
been a very successful one for the Freshman Class in every
department of our work, and we have no reason to fear but
that we will next year have developed into dignified Sophomores. It is in the
Freshman Class of 1896-97 that the familiar memory of Socrates, Aristotle,
and Plato is brought so forcibly to the minds of our teachers. It was the
teacher of Freshman History, who was heard to sadly murmur the words of
Plato when Aristotle was absent from his lectures, " Intellect is not here to-
day," all because she missed one of her pupils from the class. We believe
that a feast of reason and flow of soul characterizes the recitations, and what
more can the Seniors do ?

When the class was formed and a motto was discussed, a worthy Freshman

girl bravely suggested, " Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies";
but the girls in whom the mind of Plato is so well reproduced objected by
reminding us that

" Plato's /oz'f sublime, and all the wisdom of the Stagyrite,
Enriched and beautified his studious mind."

After much discussion, " What is it to be wise?" was chosen, with many brave
resolves to find out. We are drawing near the close of our Freshman year and
onlv one of us has found an answer to the question. It ma\' have taken her
some time to find it, but the answer is found, and by a Freshman. " What is
it to be wise?'" .-Mas I it is hard.

The Freshman girl of iSigS-gy stands her examinations bravely, and at the
end answers to the kind and sympathetic inquiry of the Senior as to how she
came out, " Oh I with flying colors." Soon after, she confides to her fellow
classmate that the suggested colors were *' black and blue." Put that does not
prevent her promotion ; so now, with the hearty approval of everybody who
has yet come in contact with a Freshman, I raise a. hearty three cheers for the
Freshman Class of 1896-97.

MNEMOSYNEAN STAFF

In the fall of 1891 a group of
enthusiastic girls (but it is unnec-
essary to say enthusiastic when
I say they were Agnes Scott girls),
ten in number, formed a Reading
Circle. This band had met only
a few times when one of the num-
ber, a teacher. Miss Mcliryde, urged
the Circle to become a literary
society what sweet memories her
name recalls ! She was the inspiration of many benefits, the friend and
companion of the girls in their pleasures and triumphs, and the comforter of
all who came to her with their little trials.

The Reading Circle became a literary society the Mnemosynean (called af-
ter Mnemosyne,the motherof the Muses),with Miss McBryde as the leading spirit.

This society had been called to order only a few times when it was decided
to edit a paper. A decision formed by Agnes Scolt girls is usually carried
out, and before it could be realized Miss Mary Barnett, with her unbounded
energy and enthusiasm, was editor and business manager of a delightful and
highly creditable little sheet which was called after the society, "Mnemosynean."

By the first of January, '92, Mary's duties had become so arduous (increased
circulation), that Misses Kate Logan and Glenn Elyeawere made editors, leav-
ing her in charge of the business department. The paper not only did not
go into the hands of a receiver, but its success was assured, and it became the
established organ of the society and school.

The next year, '92 and '93, Miss Eloise Martin, our dear old " Crank," was
editor-in-chief, with Miss Lena Wright as assistant. We don't know whether
Eloise was harassed by cares of the paper or studying, but she was ahvavs the
busiest girl in school. Under her direction the paper took the form of a maga-
zine with a conspicuous black flourish on its cover. Eloise's eyes failed, and

she was forced to give up the toils of school and journalism, much to the regret
of all her friends.

It is '93 and '94 now, the black flourish gives way to the gold on a white
cover, and Miss Mary Neel is chosen editor, with Miss Bessie Scott as assistant.

It is almost impossible here to refrain from digressing into a moan on the
trials of the editor. They are innumerable, but 1 suppose the only sympathizers
are the fellow-sufferers, and they don't need to be told. Under the above
regime, with Miss Orra Hopkins as business manager, business flourished, and
our coffers were not left empty.

From its incipiency, advertisers have dealt liberally with the paper, and
assured its financial success. Some say it is because a man is defenceless that
we never fail to get an "ad.," and I daresay that those who are not armed
with coldness and indifference to feminine entreaties sometimes have been
forced to surrender to our advertiseing solicitors.

Perhaps some may not be acquainted with the wiles resorted to and the
subtle method of surrounding a proprietor, so I give them a faint idea in ihe
accompanying illustration, and imagination can picture the rest.

Possiblj' four girls sometimes more, sometimes less dressed in their
" best," with some fascinating ribbon peeping out from among the laces, enter
a store, and modestly and brightly inquire if the proprietor may be interviewed.

Fortunate it is for the Mnf.mosynean bank book that he has had no pre-
monition of such an approaching visit, or he would be " out of town."

How can he help smiling and looking pleased when four bright faces are
smiling at once, and four tongues are working at both ends.

How does he refuse to advertise ? \\ hv, he just doesn't refuse, and he is
not sorry he didn't, till after the smiles are all gone. Possibly he considers it
too much expense when he can think a moment.

I :ur paper's history must proceed, for it has been moving on, and it has
been the aim to have it move upward always.

In 1894 Miss Esther Boyle was chosen editor, and not before has greater
improvement been made. The Mnemosynean is now comparable to any of
its contemporaries.

When Miss Carrie Haygood took the editor's chair in '95, every one pre-
dicted success, and no one was disappointed.

The Mnemosynean, always on a high plane, only puljlislied articles of brightness upon a wide circle of friends and has now come forth in the form of

worth. Onlv editors l<now tlie difficulty of getting these articles. Not that
there is any scarcity of material, but the girls are so averse to making the
extra exertion.

You approach one with a pleading face and expression of anxious uncer-
tainty. She usually laughs at you, and taunts you with " O, I can't write any-
thing ! "

Your pleading then gives way to reasoning, and you explain to her that if
she did not write well she would never have been asked.

Then another course of pleading ; in desperation you almost resort to a
kneeling posture, and with tearful eyes entreat for an article.

Final!}', with a consent, you trip out gleefully. But does she bring her
production to you at the stated lime ? Oh my, no ! There must follow days
of urging until the article is safely in the editor's drawer.

During the present 3"ear, '96 and '97, the paper, with Miss Cora Strong as
editor, has continued to improve and reflect great credit upon Agnes Scott, and
may it always have as efficient and able a corps of directors as now.

During the five years of its existence the Mnemosynean has never been
subjected to harsh criticism, but has received commendation from its friends
and contemporaries.

We have always aimed high. The standard has never, since its first issue,
been lowered.

Many times, doubtless, have mistakes been made, but we have labored for
the advancement of school interest, cultivation of composition and the pleasure
that it might afford.

We are not disappointed at the success, still we hope to continue to improve
and increase the influence of the Mnemosynean, which has reflected some

an Annual, and if it has a warm reception fnjrn our friends, we are satisfied.

Mary Mel Neel.

getting time, oblivious of all sordid cares, pouring out the grandest
notes that ever man uttered. His utterances were inaudible to me,
for I was not within hearing distance, but, thinking that melodious
notes issued from his lips, I was surprised at the pained, grieved
look upon the young girl's face. When he had concluded I
drew near and looked over her shoulder. Then in the place of
surprise and doubt came pity and sorrow, for written at the top of
her paper were the words,

Soft cushions for her feet
A little lass with gold -brown hair
And mouth so dimpled sweet.
The sparkling dew no brighter is

An artless sweetness in her mien

And look of sweet surprise
As tho' some day by us unseen
Did make her wondrous wise.

CUPID went a-wandering
Thro' the meadow's maize,
^^^ Basking in the sunshine

Of summer's long, sweet days.
He met a little maiden

Who was so wrapt in thought
That she did not see the little elf
Till her heart he'd fairly caught.

With subtle skill and magic art,

Which only cupid knows,
He planted in that maiden's heart

A little seed that grows
Nay, which has grown from hour to hour
Till now at last, in maiden's heart,

Has bloomed a perfect flower.

Zhc Ecjnes Scott Hlumnt

OME one has said, "The most prosperous na-
tion is that which has no history." A nation
being simply a collection of individuals,
granted this premise, must we not conclude
that the Alumnae Association, undoubtedly a
collection of individuals, even though a smail
one, is indeed prosperous? Ours has been, on the whole, an
eventful life. We are young in years and small in numbers, but
give us time, and we assure you that these faults, if not all with
which we may be justly charged, will be remedied.

Our Association came into existence Commencement night of
189s, May 24th, with Mary Barnett, '93, as President; Mary Mel
Neel, '94, Secretary and Treasurer, and Anna Irwin Young, '95,
Vice-President. So we are barely two years old, but, as many will
tell you, precocious for our years. It was found necessary to hold
two extra meetings during our first year in order that our affairs
might be gotten into proper working order, for we had large ideas
with small means of carrying them out. In the beginning I am afraid
we were regarded by our friends simply as a set of visionary young
enthusiasts. However, we have succeeded in convincing them of
our earnestness by what we have accomplished. In order to raise
the necessary funds, the members voluntarily agreed to double
their dues the first year, and in addition a musical was given which
netted sixty ($60.00). As a result of these efforts we found our-
selves in a position to undertake a scholarship for the scholastic
year of '96-97.

It having been decided by the Faculty and Association that
Tuesday of Commencement week should henceforth be known
as Alumnae Day, the annual meeting was held on the morning of
that day, and in the evening the Alumna; entertained their friends
with an address by the brilliant orator Lucian L. Knight. This
was followed by an elegant reception, when the " old girls " rev-
elled in the enjoyment of being schoolgirls once more, of being
children again just for the night.

Vacation, with Georgia summer weather, followed (do you know
what that means, O my friend?), but the alumnae were not idle.
By their efforts they enriched the treasury to the extent of one
hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125.00)

Does this sound like vain boasting ? We hope not. We have
simply stated facts, which we feel sure will interest those of " our
girls" who are far, far away, and which we trust will awaken an
in those who have hitherto felt none in our beloved Alma Mater.

Another feature of our work, by no means the least important,
has been the establishment of reading circles under the direction
of the Alumnae, and for the purpose of cultivating a taste for good
literature. To those who have pursued the course mapped out for
the past year, this work has proved most delightful. It is the in-
tention to have a new course each year, taking up different phases
of the literary movement.

It is the aim of this Association to make of all its member truer,
nobler women, and to advance in ever way possible the interests
of dear old " Agnes Scott." So much for what has been done.

What will be done in the future we know not. Right here, perhaps,
it would not be amiss to let you into a little secret of our own, a
dream which is as yet far from being realized ; a dream in stone,
we might call it, for one day we hope to see on the old tennis
court a stately building containing library, reading-rooms, gymna-

sium and chapel, over whose portals will be inscribed the words,
" Alumnse Hall." The day that sees this a fact instead of a
dream will be a happy one for

One of the " Old Girls."

Zbc (Bvabuatino Classes

* *

OR several years no graduates went out from
the Agnes Scott Institute. From the first the
object of the school was to have a high stand-
ard, and to make a diploma gained at that
institution a proof of faithful study and high
attainment, and not mere waste paper Even now the graduates
have been comparatively few in number ; up to the present time
there have been only fourteen, which is a very small per cent, of
the hundreds of pupils who have attended the school. At first
it seemed that, besides the many other things necessary for
graduation, the name Mary was also requisite, for the first two
graduating classes were composed entirely of Marys.

In June, 1893, the first graduates received their diplomas.
This class consisted of Misses Mary Mack of Fort Mill, S. C,
and Mary Barnett of Atlanta, Ga. Fortunately for this class
there was no first honor awarded, and the faculty was kind enough
to keep secret who received the highest marks, for otherwise it
might have broken up a close and intimate school friendship,
which, as it is, has only strengthened as the years have gone by.
In 1894 the second class graduated There was but one
member of this class. Miss Mary Neel of Edgevvood, Ga., so that
the difficulty of the year before, concerning first honor, did not

arise, and all were glad to know that Miss Neel received this
well-deserved distinction, and she is the only first-honor graduate
of this institution, for no other class knows which of the girls
stood highest.

The third class, containing six girls Misses Allie Watlington
of Dayton, Ala.; Anna Young of Atlanta, Ga.; Orra Hopkins of
Warm Springs, Va.; Winnie Quarterman of Waycross, Ga. ; Maggie
Laing of Atlanta, Ga., and Florence McCormick of Bessemer,
Ala. graduated in 1895. This was the largest Senior Class that
has ever left the Agnes Scott, and its members are scattered from
Texas to Virginia. It is rumored that Cupid's arrow has pierced
the heart of one of these fair maidens, and that she is contem-
plating changing her "name and home."

In May, 1896, the fourth and last graduating class left the
halls of beloved Agnes Scott, where they had passed so many
happy days and had attained that high degree of excellence with
which they will prove to the world the superiority of the teach-
ings and influences of their Alma Mater. There were five mem-
bers of this class Misses Mary Strickler of Atlanta, Ga.; Ethel
Davis of Decatur, Ga; Olive Laing of Atlanta, Ga.; Augusta Edge
of Buena Vista, Ga., and Martha Cardoza of Lunenburg, Va.

It is a much disputed question which class was the brightest,

and on this subject the historian has very decided views, but hav- it is hoped and behaved that they have gone forth prepared to

Although few in number, these fourteen girls combine with faithful teachings and its Christian influence, is to our dear South-

their scholarship many Christian graces and womanly traits, and land.

Social %itc

fHE happiness of both teachers and pupils is in-
fluenced by nothing more than bj' the social
life; and in this, as in all other respects,
Agnes Scott is the equal, if not the superior, of
any school in the South. Teachers and pupils
are more sociable and intimate than is usual,
but there is no lack of deep respect and reverence for the Faculty.
Each teacher has her coterie of ardent admirers who will declare
that she has no equal in charms and attractions, and will do any-
thing to win her smiling approval.

Besides the pleasant relations existing between teachers and
girls, there is the more intimate and none the less charming inter-
course between the girls. Everywhere are found enthusiastic
groups relating their wild and exciting experiences. Then for the
greater part of the year the weather permits tennis and bicycling.
In addition to the pleasures of every day life, there are the de-
lightful recitals given by the teachers and pupils. After the pro-
grams the girls receive their friends, but the time always seems
too short, and there are many sighs when the bell taps, meaning
" Good-night." Besides these little receptions, there are several
elegant affairs given by the Mnemosynean Literary Society. These
great events are the topic of conversation and the center of inter
st for weeks before and afterwards. And indeed the Institute
makes a charming picture on these occasions, for the halls and
parlors are always beautifully decorated, and of course the young
ladies are looking their best.

Among the other elegant affairs, none are more enjoyed than the
A O A banquets, attended only by the members qf the A O A.
Now, everybody knowing anything at all about a schoolgirl, knows
that few things appeal more to her than an elegently arranged
table laden with delicious dainties. The conversation are inter-
spersed with music, not an orchestra, but just a guitar and a few
good voices. At the A O A banquets every sense is appealed to
in the most artistic manner.

Of course these are by no means the only "feasts," but the
others are much more informal. When a girl is so fortunate as to
receive a box, a stranger might think it peculiar that a sign ' 'Busy,"
or "Please don't knock,'' should invariably appear on her door,
but everybody at the Agnes Scott understands. If one should
happen to get a glimpse within the room, she would see an exceed-
ingly happy crowd of the young lady's friends very busy indeed,
only making the occasional remark. " Please excuse me for making
a pig of myself." Their farewells are sure to include enthusiastic
compliments for the cook.

Some one may imagine that the belief in ghosts is an old exploded
theory, but it needs only a glance up and down the A. S. I. halls
in the "wee sma' " hours to dispel this delusion, for behold ! spirits
are silently gliding from room to room. These phantoms are
truly godlike in their fondness for nectar; but perhaps it will be
something of a shock to learn that up-to-date ghosts partake of
nectar from chafing dishes, tin pans, and even paper bags.

The event of the week is the Saturday night German in the gym -

nasium. The young ladies always make elaborate evening toilets,
and the gentlemen, too, appear in full dress, consisting of blazer
suits, stiff linen collars, and all the essentials of conventional even-
ing dress.

The Institute girls deem frequent trips to Atlanta not the least
among their privileges; and, indeed, if rightly managed, a vast

amount of pleasure can be gotten out of shopping expeditions, -
concerts and good lectures.

Add to all this the many indescribable " good times" only school-
girls know how to have, and no one will wonder that several girls-
have returned merely to enjoy social life at the Agnes Scott Insti-
tute.

V

NE day as I was sitting in my room wondering
what would be the futures of the girls of the
Mnemosynean Literary Society, I heard a most
terrific noise. The house shook, the beams
popped, my chair fell over after I had sprung
to my feet and with every hair standing on end, I started to fall
out of the window. I turned, when my name was spoken, and
my alarm was increased when I saw standing before me a tall,
hideous man whom, from his resemblance to the pictures in the
Arabian Nights, I knew to be a genii. He bowed low be
fore me and spoke, "O thou most powerful being, permit the
meanest of the creatures to aid thee in thy grand work of ex-
ploring the future. Thou, who art so gre?t, will yet not disdain
the magic gifts of Arabia. On this carpet thou inayest go to
the uttermost parts of the earth, and with this apple restore the
sick to health, no matter how near to death they may be. By
the beard of the prophet, they are wonderful gifts !" When he
had said these things he bowed low before me three times and
vanished. I looked around me full of amazement, but saw noth-
ing unusual except the gay-colored carpet on the floor and the
apple in my hand. Having recovered from my alarm I lost no
time in seating myself on the carpet, and putting on the spectacles
which floated down to me When I shot through the air I was
dizzy at first, but soon became all right again. As Lottie Caldwell's
name flitted through my mind, I saw far beneath me on the earth
in a town, which, from the numerous sign posts standing around, I

found to be Tombstone, Arizona. As the objects became more dis-
tinct I saw a newspaper office; over the door this sign, " Office of
the Tombstone Bugle. Editor, Charlotte Caldwell." To my delight,
I realized that I could hear and understand what they were saying,
and in a few moments I heard stern tones, which yet had enough
of the old time ring in them to make me recognize them as Lottie's,
asking if May Walden had brought in the report of that prize fight
between Marie Brown and Alberta Burress, in Carson City. Some-
thing directed my thoughts to Eliza Carter just then, and a neat
little sign arose before my eyes, "Dr. Eliza Carter, Physician.
Hearts a Specialty. Address Kirk wood, Georgia."

Kirkwood is so near Agnes Scott that I thought I would see how
the old Institute was getting along. Under Annie McCormick, as
principal, and Kate Murphy and Belle Jones as assistants, the
school had flourished wonderfully, and now enrolled something
over five thousand students. Selene Hutchinson next appeared
to me, and I saw that she was in trouble. She had become a con-
ductor on the Consolidated street car line between Adanta and
Decatur, but on account of her propensity for stopping at Nunnal-
ly's the directors of the road had decided to withdraw her from
her position. " What has become of Julia Whitfield ?" I said, half
aloud, and at the words I saw the interior of a large opera house
and on the stage a handsome, stately woman pouring forth her
whole soul in notes of divine sweetness. I could hardly realize
that this was Julia, but as my eyes roved over the elegantly dressed
occupants of the boxes, I had no difficulty in recognizing Emmie

D. Price. Her wink was still the same. She had become the wife
of a wealthy New York man, and employed herself in giving whist
parties and distributing tracts. LilyLittle and Annie Wiley, form-
erly bosom friends, became the worst of enemies while running for
President of the United States, both on the Republican ticket, but
both were defeated by Ada Hooper, who ran as a Democrat, and
bribed every one by her smiles. As soon as I thought of Mae
Murphy I hunted around the earth for Davidson College, and there
found Mae occupying the chair of French, and aweing every one
by her severity. After leaving Agnes Scott, Midge McAden be-
came an astronomer, but was soon persuaded by a certain young
man to abandon her studies of the moon and help him along in
life. I rejoiced over Mae's success and Midge's happiness, but my
joy was turned to sadness when I saw a little grass-grown grave,
and on the plain white headstone the inscription, "Sacred to
the memory of Corinne Davis, who was killed by the sight of a
man.'' With a saddened heart I turned away, and as I thought of
Nell Mandeville, I found myself in New York city, and saw Nellie
in a court room addressing a mighty audience and quickly winning
them to her side of the case. After leaving school she had studied
for the law, and her impetuous ways and Ananias like tongue soon
placed her at the top of the ladder.

Estelle Anderson and Nettie Jones, e.xcited by the lectures they
had heard, decided to go to Africa as missionaries, but when they
reached the Congo Free State, they heard that Anna Peek Robert-
son, Lucy Lore and Belle Thomas, who had arrived there some time
before, were being fattened for the chief's Thanksgiving dinner, so
they left very hurriedly. I did not feel at all grieved about the fate
of these three girls, for I felt sure that several Thanksgivings would
pass over their heads before the chief's purpose could be fulfilled,
and in the meantime they could contrive means of escape. " La

belle Paris" was my next stopping place, and I found that Winni-
fred Adderton and Amanda Caldwell had become great violinists,
and all Paris flocked to hear them. With Ella Belle Emery, of course
I thought of Susie May and Emma Wallace, Julia Dudley, Annie
Council, and Florence Hildreth. What was my astonishment when
I discovered that they had founded a " woman's town " in New
Mexico, where they lived in peace and happiness until Julia, who
could never find a man of good enough family to suit her, eloped
with an Italian peddler, who had managed to make his way within
their town walls. Ella Belle engaged herself in flying kites, but the
other girls became more sedate. Belle Nash, whose aim in life
was to get married, was not disappointed, for she became the wife
of a Methodist minister, and was idolized by her husband's many
congregations, until her death was caused by influenza, brought on
by sitting in chilly churches. Mary Payne, after a thorough course
in Bible at Agnes Scott, set for herself the task of instructing a
young theologian, but her many friends suppose that he instructed
her in the arts of love. At any rate when I saw her she evidently
thought more of the theologian than she did of theology. " Mattie
Harris, where is she ?" I wondered, and at once I saw poor Mat
lying on the floor almost dead, her grief at discovering that Amy
Wallen, a great society belle, would rather receive visitors on Sun-
day night than go to church, yes, Mat's grief was so great that it
almost overcame her. I quickly passed my apple of health be-
neath her nose and soon saw with gratification that the color was
returning to her cheeks. When she saw me she stretched out her
arms to me, but I shook my head and departed to seek Eugenia
Mandeville. I saw a vi^edding party coming down the aisle of a
handsome church. Li the bride, arrayed in white satin and smiling
beneath her veil, I recognized Eugenia, who had found "happiness-
on earth" in a marriage with a "teeth extracted without pain."'

May Ce Robinson, who was one of Eugenia's bridesmaids, had
evidently found the truth of the saying, " One wedding makes
many," for, by the way a certain young " Raphael " regarded her,
I knew that she would soon be crowned with orange blossoms.
Weddings seemed to be the order of the day, so I was not surprised
when I found Clyde White and Leola Birdsong dwelling in " wed-
ded bliss," but I was surprised to hear them pleading earnestly
with Judge Jeanette Craig not to grant the divorces which their
husbands so diligently sought. Our only wit I found.to be Cora
Strong, who had become the humorist on the Atlanta Constitution,
but I sorrowed much to learn that she was dismissed for flirting
with the young reporters. Florida Bethel's name I found engraved
on a monument higher than that of Bunker Hill, and read the pa-
thetic yet pride-inspiring news that, disappointed in love, she had
become an engineer and had lost her life in a terrible wreck after
having saved many of her passengers. Rosa Belle Knox, the
famous book agent, was on the train, and during the wreck sold a
great number of books, since her flow of words was so alarming
that her victims, with fear and trembling, bought all she had. Mar-
garet Cannon became a New England schoolma'am, but when
one of her pupils handed m a blank mathematics paper she gave
up the business and went to Texas to live with Julie Wright, who
had become a cow-puncher, and roamed the prairies free as air,
happy in the idea that she need no longer conform to rules. In my
.search for Lillie Brown I quickly passed over the United States,

through Canada, across the Artie Ocean to the very North pole
itself I was kept warm by magic means, but I could not repress
a shiver, as looking down from my position in the air, I saw Lillie
in a white organdie, and a boat steadily making her way through
the icebergs. She had left her many loving friends behind her
and was searching for a cooler climate. With a sigh of relief I left
the artic regions and hurried to Key West, where I found Sybil
Bethel living in a rose covered cottage, and enjoying herself to the
utmost in her domestic duties, for she was wooed and won by her
handsome lover before she was twenty. In Florida I found Tillie
Fleming engaged in active work for Cuba, and wearing many
medals for her brave deeds done in behalf of her native State.
But I lound Alice Barker in the strangest place of all. When I
spoke her name my magic carpet acted most queerly, and I would
have died of fright if I had not had the apple of health in my
hand. Finally I landed in Utopia, and was utterly surprised when
I found Alice presiding over the town as mayoress. Not only that,
she had also issued a proclamation that if any person was found
giggling within the city limits, he should be executed at once. I
was much surprised at this and floated slowly away toward home.
Becoming hungry on the way I returned to my old school-girl
habits of eating everything I could find, and ate my apple. Soon
I reached my own room again and sat down to marvel at the varied
fortunes of our Mnemosynean girls.
