A Word from the Editors

ITH this issue the Agnes Scott "Annual" again makes its appear-
ance after an intermission of two years. In some respects, how-
ever, this is not a continuance of the former one. In the first
place it has be-en more decidedly a private enterprise of the stir-
dents. The entire responsibility has rested upon them. Then a new name
graces our volume. When the former "Annual" was discontinued, its title,
"Aurora," was bequeathed to the monthly publication of the two societies.

The new name appealed to us as peculiarly fitting, since it has been
our aim to cast upon these pages a silhouette, as it were, of our life at
Agnes Scott an existence itself as transient and flitting as firelight shadows.
It is merely an outline that we have tried to present, but we trust we have
done it well enough, dear reader, to bring before you the whole picture.
And we beg your kind indulgence. We have done our best.

The compilation of this volume has been a pleasure to us, for we hoped
that it would contribute not only to our own enjoyment, but to that of
others also. And if, perchance, there be anything included between these
covers that may disclose the oddities and eccentricities of any of our fellows
let it be remembered that it has been done with the kind intention of giving
as true an idea as possible of the people and events that go to make the
history of our year just past. "All history is but the biography of great
men." We hope that our "great men" will not have any cause to say,
after reading the "Silhouette," "Blessed are the people whose annals are
vacant."

And now we would thank all those who have in any way been of service
to us. Especially are the business managers indebted to Dr. Arbuckle for
his constant aid and advice. The editors are under obligations to Miss Lytle,
Miss McKinney, and Miss Louise Ivcwis for many helpful suggestions.

WEST LAWN COTTAGE.

Retrospective

GLIMPSE of tlie Twentieth Century Agnes Scott is a revelation
to the A. S. I. girl of ten years ago. The enlarged grounds, the
additional buildings and equipments, the extended curriculum, the
increased faculty these make her wonder, admire, rejoice. A
jear of unusual prosperity for so we have the pleasure of characterizing
the 5'ear that is fast making a page in the history of Agnes Scott always
brings to those interested in the success of an enterprise a desire to look back
over its history, that they may take encouragement and kindle enthusiasm

13

by noting great results growing from small beginnings. A glance at the
twelve 3'ears' history of Agnes Scott will show grounds for bright hopes
for the future.

The power of a dormant idea is illustrated in the very beginning of
the Institute. Though Agnes Scott is of recent organization, the idea of a
Presbyterian school for girls was discussed in the Synod of Georgia as early
as 1845, and it is said on good authority, that Decatur and the present site
of the Institute were selected as in every way desirable for such a school.
For the time, the idea bore no fruit ; but, after lying dormant for two
decades, it brought forth a bud of promise. In 1889, Dr. F. H. Gaines, Col.
G. W. Scott, Milton A. Candler, J. W. Kirkpatrick, Hiram Williams and
others, met and took steps for the organization of the Decatur Female Semi-
nary. In a rented frame building the school began its career with four
teachers and an enrollment of sixty pupils, all from Georgia.

But the geuerosit)^ of one of its founders was not to suffer the usefulness
of this institution to be limited by poor equipments. In September, iSgi,
Col. Geo. W. Scott, of Decatur, had built and equipped at a cost of $112,500,
a handsome brick building which, with the engine house and laundry, at
that time constituted the sole buildings on the campus. The steadily grow-
ing reputation of the Institute, however, soon increased the patronage, and
the need for more room became imperative. Agnes Scott spread beyond the
"Blue Line," as the old Consolidated Electric Car Line was called by the
Institute people. On the east side of the Institute may now be seen a block
of buildings belonging to the school.

Southeast of the main building is the President's house. This com-
fortable two-story building, with its shady, well-kept lawn and artistic flower-
beds, is the home of Dr. F. H. Gaines. Here, on certain happy occasions,
the hearts of faculty and sometimes even of seniors are gladdened by the
hospitality of this home. In neighborly proximity stands the little green
cottage with its white furnishings its muslin curtains and white iron beds.
This is the realm of our trained nurse, whose cheery presence and skillful
care rob the Infirmary of many of its terrors.

Beyond the Infirmary is or rather, sad change, zuas the cottage, the
two-story frame building that furnished shelter for teachers and girls after
the first overflow from the Institute proper. The site of the cottage is now

marked by two lone chimneys and a few scattered bricks ; for on Friday,
December 21, in spite of heroic efforts to save it, the cottage burned to the
ground. Memorable day ! A day that has been found convenient as the
date of numerous jokes at the expense of unsuspecting and distressed persons.
Since the burning of the cottage, the homeless teachers and girls have been
moved to the large white house just below their former quarters.

The most recent, and perhaps the most welcome addition to the Insti-
tute property, came to us at the close of last session through the liberality
of Mr. S. M. Inman and Mrs. Josephine Abbott, both of Atlanta. Theirs
are names that have long been prominent in benevolent causes, and we
believe that they could not have bestowed their gifts where they are more
needed or more sincerely appreciated. Using the ten thousand dollars placed
at their disposal, the Board of Trustees purchased the property adjoining
the Institute on the west. The property was improved and the house fur-
nished, thus providing for the accommodation of the increased number of
applicants. "West Lawn," as this last gift has been nained, adds greatly
to the appearance of the campus, and already it has become a favorite spot
to many of the '02 girls.

In every way Agnes Scott is growing ; in consequence, there are new
needs to be met each year. As long as these needs are met by the earnest
efforts of the past years, we may expect this growth to continue. There
are still crying needs a new chapel, a separate building for a library, an
increased number of volumes in our library. L,et those of us who are most
interested in our Alma Mater not rest content until we have these things,
too, and have made ourselves useful in placing Agnes Scott in the forefront
of Southern educational institutions.

Aquarius, the water-bearer, is responsib'e for her
faults and virtues. She is extremely indolent and
needs thorough training in the art of punctuality.
She may make biting little remarks sometimes,
but don't take them seriously, for at heart she
does not mean it at all.

ANNA MAY STEVENS, Atlanta, Ga.

Vice-President Senior Class; Treasurer Junior
Class.

The sign of Virgo, the Virgin, pres'des over her
destinies. She has dark hair (?) and complexion.
She is haughty and proud, reasons from external-
ities, and has a fondness for sweetmeats. She is
magnetic, but not demonstrative ; is apt to talk too
much, and should be taught the value of silence.

The constellation of Leo presides over her desti-

somewhat lacking in individuahty (?) but she has
high ideals, is generous and magnetic.

Pier astrological sign is Aquarius, the water-bearer
She is both strong and weak ; she is rarely gif ed.

She is often pleasing and as often cruel. But her

The conste'lation of Libra, the scales, was in ihe
ascendency at her birth. Hence, she is energetic,
ambitious and very high-strung and quick tem-
pered. Still she is true and good, and can be rea-
soned with, (an excellent thing in woman.) In an
inventive way she is a genius, but this trait in her
must be developed by slow degrees, else the spark
will be quenched by its own brilliancy.

History of the Class of 1902

By Mr. Dooly (?)

HAN 111' liou'ra^-ble iditers iv tli' Silhouette infir-nned
me iv til' gra-at pairt Oi was ixpicted t' coiithribute t'
tliayer aimooal me hairt failed me. But aftlier tlioiukiii'
it ovlier Oi scratched me haid 'ii' called t' me iniud
til' watcl;-\vur-rd iv old Payter Stuyvesint, wan iv tli'
br-raivest sons iv Erin tliit iver set foot in th' ray-
pooblic. Me frind, it was this, " If ye do ill' best
3'e kin, ye do well enough." 'N' th' watcli-wur-rd iv th' beeogriphy
iv th' Senior Class is this old motto iv me aincestor. Wan day Oi asked
me frind Hinnissy his opinyion iv th' bisness. Says Hiunissy, "Well, in
all me expayrieuce Oi niver coome across sooch soobject. But, me frind,
Oi kin say this much fur-r 'im if they er loike th' rist iv thayer sex iv th'
praysint gineration, they thoink they er is good is anny wan ilse, 'n' faith,
a little betther. "But Oi waived him asoid, yooung la-adies, with a floorish
iv th' hand, 'n' resoolved t' write a hist'ry iv yer class wur-rthy iv sooch a
soobject. 'N' may it plaise yer honers, Oi procayd t' set forr-th th' raysults
iv me la-abors.

In many rayspicts th' class iv nineteen hoondred 'n' two is a ra\inark-
able wan. In the fur-rst place, they did not orginize thiinsil\-es into an
administhrative boody till th' year whan they called thimsiKes jooniors.
'N' Oi've been told that usooally they elict a praysidint, 'n' all th' ither ixay-
cootive officers bayfur they be sure they will matricoolate into th' college. But
two years bayfur this th' iditors iv th' Annooal, lookiu' ovher th' waters iv
th' say iv Agnes Scott 'n' percayvin' th' gra-at ship iv th' Frayshmen adrift
without pilot or captain, iinmaydiately appointed officers t' direct th' sailin'
iv th' boat. 'N' though th' crew ignored th' ixistence iv this ixaycootive
boody iv'ry wan ilse raycognized th' validity iv th' interfayrence iv wiser
'n' older haids. At that toinie th' maymbers iv this class were is noomerous
at Agnes Scott is vayhicles on Fifth Avenooe iv a sunny April mornin'.
Nearly ivry ither wan was fraysh, 'n' Oi've no doubt that they praysinted a
rayther green appearance.

But after the fur-rst bombshells iv examinations struck 'im broadside
'n' th' smoke was beginnin' t' clear away ye could see th' mayjoority iv 'im
la-aid low, niver t' roise ag'in. Th' rist i\- 'im went braively on, loike a
lamp on a street corner iv a rainy night feeble 'n' flickerin', but bur-rnin
still. 'N' whan they came back th' next year thayer were enough left, the-
gither with fraysh raycruits, t' make up a rayspictable boo;ly ; but they
were yet ayther too weak or too modest t' hold an eliction 'n' orginize a
little governmiut iv thayer own. Indaid th' most distinguishing chayrac-
teristics iv th' class iv nointeeu hoondred 'n' two are its ixtrayme modest)'
'n' its habit iv long 'n' cair-rful deliberation prayvious t' i\Tv aict.

Now at th' beginnin' iv this scond payriod iv its ixistence it met with
perhaps th' gra-atest misfortune iv its loife. Having begun th' charge upon
Biblical Notes 'n' Outlines half iv th' timid craytures were most unaccount-
ably saized with fraight 'n' horror 'n' turned aside t' th' flayshpots iv
Fraynch 'n' hist'ry with a small spraynklin' iv th' Ainglish tongue. This
repulse thinned th' ranks so that thim that remained were scattered so
so fur-r 'n' wide that each wan iv 'im niver caught sight iv anither wan fur-r
th' rist iv th' tur-rm. Wan day a letther came t' th' class fr'm a jewelry
istablishmint, 'n' no member iv th' class could be found. Whau Dr. Gaines
heard iv th' praydycimint he telephoned th' city police t' sind hilp at wance.

However, me frinds, the ra-al story iv this raymarkable class begins
with the toinie whan they called thimsilves jooniors. Early in th' year

they met in ixaycootive sayssion, 'n' after cair-rful 'n' critical deliberation
succeeded in giving ivry maymber an office. (Here Oi beg laive t' offer th'
sooggestion t' th' praysident iv th' United States that he employ these
yoGung la-adies t' settle with ivry office-seeker who disturbs his payceful
sojourn at th' White House.) Followin' this prodigious bur-rst iv activity
thayer came a complete cessation iv hostilities fur'r th' purpose iv raycoo-
peratin' th' strengh iv both th' officers 'n' th' rank 'n' file.

Along in th' early spring toime th' jooniors were agin in ixaycootive
sayssion. Oi'm told that th' whole commoonity held its breath in soospence
awaiting th' final outcome. 'N' as all things airthly have an end, wan day
it was announced unofficially that cair-rds were out soommonin' in brayf 'n
simple wur-rds th' maymbers iv th' class iv nointeen 'n' wan t' enjy a ban-
quet furnished fray iv charge be th' jooniors. Oi suppose it is hairdly
naycessary t' say that ivry invitation was iccipted. Th' guests said it was
the hair-rdest thing they iver had t' do t' wait fur-r th' gra-at ivint. 'N'
ayven th' maymbers iv the faculty praysint agreed that a king could not
wish fur-r betther intertainmint. But though praised on ivry soide 'n' be
ivry wan, th' maymbers iv th' class dayported thimsilves loike sober yooung
Amayricans. 'N' th' only fault Oi halve t' find with 'im is they be too
quiet fur'r the raypraysintitive Amayrican. But Oi've noticed all me loife
that th' folks in this wur-rld that get thayer names in th' papers be mostly
raj'scals or rogues.

The class iv nointeen hoondred 'n' two has now ra-ached th' praycipice
iv its dignity, 'n' in a few walks it will have stepped off t' mayke room fur-r
a yoounger gineration. 'N' befur Oi take laive iv this highly interesting
soobject Oi wish to say fur-r it that it is a class that has from beginnin' t'
end met th' approval iv th' praysidint, th' faculty, 'n' anny wan ilse that
may happen t' be in authority at A. S. I. ; 'n' that is sayin' a good deal fur-r
it. In its short life it has met the usooal vicissitoodes iv th' usooal college
class, 'n' through all these vicissitoodes it has come with fiyin' colors ; 'n'
that is sayin' more fur-r it.

It was many and many a year' ago.

In a building tall and red,
That five little kids run to and fro

Freshies, it has been said.
And these Freshies they lived with no other
thought

Than to frolic and play and be fed.

Three were Crackers, and one was a Coon,

And one was a Creeper slow.
They were green in color, but ah I how soon

That melted away like snow,
For the five little Freshies older grew,

Though they yet had far to go.

And that was the reason at last one day.

In that building tall and red,
That their names were changed to Sophs, for
they

Were wise and blue, instead
Of the gay little, green little Freshies of yore ;

And they studied till each little head
Was ready to burst with its ponderous store

As if it were filled with lead.

Yet bright were the days for the Crackers three.

And the Creeper and the Coon,
Their sole delight was at work to be

At morn, at eve, and noon ;
Till Ihey finally landed safe and sound

Where Juniors stand in June.

Now, there's never a night but you see the bri
light

Of the Creeper and the Coon,
And the Crackers three in their d'gnity

Rest not for sun or moon.
Oh, the joyous day when they'll all be free !

It is coming swift and soon ;
For Seniors now are the Crackers three.

And the Creeper and the Coon.

Junior Class History

JUNIOR CLASS that has never been " Fresh ! " A truly unusual

class. During the first year of our college life, we were not an

organized body, and so could not be properly called a Freshman

Class. It would not be advisable for any of our readers to try to

prove that we were ever fresh, or at least to state their proof iu the form of

a syllogism ; for we are just logical enough to detect the fault and show

that you are fallacious. (The chapter in logic Miss S forgot was not

the one on syllogisms.)

Our history as a class began in the fall of 1900, when we by our organi-
zation aroused the first real class spirit that had ever been at Agnes Scott.
Believing this class spirit to be an all important factor of college life, we,
the Sophs, even condescended to beseech the little Freshmen to organize,
so enthusiastic were we for the welfare of our college, and so ardent was
our class spirit that some glory of it touched the hard and frozen hearts of
the Juniors and Seniors, causing them, though late in life, to vie however
indifferently with the Sophs in showing some love for class.

And now as we look back from one continual struggle with Psychology,
Trig, Astronomy, and last but not least, Dr. Gaines' Bible Notes, the mem-
ory of Soph year is a very bright one. Our merr}- May pole dance last com-

35

iHencement, when "evening skies were all aglow with soft amethyst and
gold " but expressed our life as gay, light-hearted Sophomores.

This year, too, has had its pleasures. On Hallowe'en Night, at least,
we forgot our dignity, and as we entertained the Sophs., enjoyed as much
as they, and with something of our old Sophomore spirit the gypsies and
the ghost stories. The Junior box party which Miss Hopkins gave us was
in every way an enjoyment and one we will ever remember.

The greatest achievement of the Junior class was that of giving to
Agnes Scott The Silhouette. When the question of having an Annual
arose among the students, the Juniors with characteristic zeal took the res-
ponsibility upon themselves and this little book will always be cherished
as in a peculiar sense our own.

The Class of '04

|OMETHING had always been lacking at A. S. I. The Trustees
felt it, the Faculty felt it, and even the students. Time and
thought had been given to the investigation of the great mystery,
but in vain. Dr. Gaines had grown gray over it and Miss Hop-
kins worried, still they were no nearer the solution. Must the Institute
enter upon a new century weighted down by such a burden?

The year 1900 was memorable in the history of A. S. I., because it
brought with it the solution of the great mystery the class of '04. At its
advent Dr. Gaines smiled and rubbed his hands with satisfaction. Miss
Hopkins drew a long breath of relief. The Faculty agreed with one accord
that the long-felt want was filled.

We were sure that we could teach the mighty "Sophs." something,
and so we started bravely upon our career, bearing with the greatest indif-
ference their sarcastic remarks.

We struggled on, surmounting the many difficulties which beset the
path of Freshmen, and trying in every way to excel the Sophomores and to
"heap coals of fire on their heads" deep down in our hearts wanting these
coals to burn. At last commencement came, and, of course, we were con-
sidered the most brilliant and studious class of the school. No one but the
Sophomores denied that and they would deny anything.

Realizing the hardships awaiting us, as Sophomores, we returned in
1901 with the fixed determination "to conquer or to die."

" Our deep research in mathematics has made even solid geometry seem
plane, and we have learned that life, here at least, is governed by the tri-
angle rather than the square." We have also heard Cicero hurl his thun-
ders at Catiline and have followed with Virgil the fate of the "pious
.5jneas." In the English Department we have written ourselves into
immortal fame, and the Aurora is always clamoring for our productions.
In the laboratory we have learned not only to "earn our salt" but also to
make it, and that discouragement is an essential part of chemistry.

Shakespeare has said, " The night is long that never finds a day." The
night has, indeed, been very long and sometimes starless, but the bright-
ness and splendor of the placid plains of "Juniordom" and the dizzy heights
of "Seniordpm" are fast approaching. Historian,

^04

'Twas in the fall a year ago

When fiist we formed our class.

But those were not our days of woe,

For we weren't green as grass.

Yes, we were jolly, jolly girls,

And those were happy days.

And though the time still onward whirls.

Yet fresh their memory stays.

Now we're the dignified Sophomores,

Our trouble has begun

With Math and Chem and scores

Of all things under the sun.

But still we work and toil along ;

To graduate's our aim ;

And if we go not too far wrong,

Perhaps to bring us fame.

Chorus

Hurrah, for the scarlet and cream !

Hurrah, for the class supreme!

Hurrah, for the girls of naughty four

Hurrah, for all, once more I

To dear old A. S. I. we're true,

Long life and health we wish her,

And may each year bring something new

Ol life and wealth to bless her.

But this we ask in future years

To hold in her esteem

The class that loved through all its years

The scarlet and the cream.

Freshman Class History

[H, liow our curiosity was excited tliat morning in chapel when the
English teacher requested the Freshmen to meet in the English-
room at recess ! Freshmen could be seen in groups discussing the
matter. What on earth could she want? Perhaps she wished to
speak about our terrible English marks, or perhaps horrors ! she was
going to increase the number of themes a week. At the mere thought of
either of these things, our hearts fairly stopped.

When recess came, we filed into the English-room where we found

Miss L awaiting us. She told us that she had called us together to

speak to us about a class organization, as all the other classes were very
much interested in our becoming an organized class as if we were not able
to manage that for ourselves. W'e proved to them that "a word to the wise
is sufficient," for the next week found us an energetic Freshman class with
Miss Barnett as an honorar}' member, which fact alone insured our success,
in our estimation.

We were green as all Freshmen have been from time immemorial
green because we were Freshmen, not Freshmen because we were green.
Every one expected us to be green, so why disappoint them? Notwith-
standing our color, we are the wonder of the whole school, and although
every one tries to look unconcerned when we appear on the scene, envy
shines through every feature.

The Seniors look on us most kindly, for they have reached that age
when the great learn not to despise small things. The Juniors regard us
in our gaiety and tell us that "things are not what they seem." The
Sophs oh, those conceited, scoffing Sophs! look upon us and pity us, as
if they would advise us, were it worth their while. Yet, when a Freshman
meets a Soph and asks her about her Basket-ball Team, the Soph's face
falls. She will not talk on that subject.

We have our ups and downs like any other human beings and are too
young to have much history yet, but just wait until next year when we are
Sophomores ! then we will have a history a history in the truest sense of
the word.

Alumnae Association

Organization

PRESIDENT, Anna Irwin Young. VICE-PRESIDENT, Martha Corb Howard.

SECRETARY, Mary J. Barnktt.
TREASURER, Annie Jean Gash.

A. A. A. S. L

fHE history of seven ^-ears is sufficient to indicate the spirit, character,
and effectiveness of a working body. In 1895 the graduates of
Agnes Scott, at that time numbering only nine, determined to form
an organization which should be helpful to their Alma Mater.
They provided that all future graduates should be eligible to full mem-
bership, and that the faculty and those holding certificates of proficiency
should be invited to associate membership. It is with no small degree of
warrantable satisfaction, that they look back upon the intervening record.
It is impossible to sum up a /I the results accomplished, for influence goes
on and on, and widens as it goes, and can never be gathered back into itself
and weighed with scale and balance. There are, however, some interesting
statistics which suggest to the initiated the energy, enthusiasm, persever-
ance, prayer and faith which have been compressed into them. Far from
being dull and cold, they are animate and warm, pulsing with the heart-
throbs of concentrated love.

Under the auspices of the Alumnae, lectures have been pro\ided and
receptions gi\'en from time to time. The Association is five times as large
in numbers as at its inception. Financially the expenditures ha\'e always
kept within the receipts $604.93 have been collected and disbursed. The
incidental expenses have thus been met, the tuition of a day pupil has been
paid five different years, and the parlors have received some attractive
additions to their furnishings. Besides this, $560.00 stand to the credit of
the Association as the beginning of a permanent scholarship fund. We
have reason to take courage and press on. Let every member resolve to
urge forward the work.

In no s|)irit of self-glorification but with thankfulness for what has
already been accomplished, and with the hope that flagging energies may
be reinforced and waning interest revived, a banquet has been planned to
be held during the coming Commencement. An effort has been made to
reach every member of the Association and a warm response to the invita-
tions is expected.

In keeping with the divine injunction, let us put our light on a candle-
stick, that it may shed its beams on others. We live not for our own
generation alone, but for the generations that are to come. We reach a
helping hand to eager searchers after truth, not that they alone may be
ennobled, but that they may extend the work of beneficence. We look not
for the esteem of our companions alone, but for the commendation of Him
who has called us to be his co-laborers.

The Phenomenon

' O ! teacher ! vliat's that goin' by ? "
The child shrieks out with fearsome cry.
' My child, be calm ! your fears liave o'er !
'Tis nothing but a Sophomore."

' Its head is large and fierce it loolis ;
\'et all it does outside its books,
From morn till night and night till morn,
It blows its class's brazen horn."

Societies

The Literary Societies

HE Mnemosynean Literary Society was organized in 1891 ; the
Propylcean in May, 1897. The two societies play a very impor-
tant part in the lives of the students, and have no small share in
their development. Although the primary purpose of each is the
mental improvement of its members, the Saturday night meetings are
occasions for social intercourse as well. The regular weekly programs are
gotten up and carried out by the girls themsehes. On several occasions,
however, the members have been treated to lectures from prominent out-
siders, at which both societies have been present.

The interest always manifested in the two societies is even greater
than usual this year on account of a new prize offer. Air. Theodore P.
Shouts, of Chicago, has inaugurated a prize of $100 to be awarded annually
to the society which has done the best work during the year. In contesting
for this prize each society presents three papers, which may be either essays,
stories, or poems. Besides these the programs and attendance are to be
taken into consideration.

Finally, the members of each feel a deep devotion and lo}-alty to their
society, and they take the greatest pride in furthering its interests.
Although many of the members will leave the Institute never to return,
each one will continue to feel that she is as much a part of her society as
when she helped initiate members after meetings.

Christian Band

^GNES Scott Christian Band was organized b}' the teachers and
students of the Institute in 1891, while tlie school was yet in its
infancy, and has grown along with it, improving as it has im-
proved, till now this society is doing its best and most earnest work.

The purpose of the band may be said to be the foundation of the work
of the whole school, to promote among the students the one thing needful
for all worthy ends Christian love. In order to carry out this purpose,
the working body is divided into committees to whom different parts of the
work are assigned. The Committee on Committees consists of the officers
of the society. These officers are the same and perform the same duties as
in other societies. The Committee on Membership keeps a list of the mem-
bers of the society, strives to keep them interested in the work, and urges
outsiders to join. It is the duty of the Committee on Reading Matter to
encourage the reading of religious literature by distributing, in the different
rooms on Sunday afternoon, religious periodicals. The Committee on
Devotional Exercises selects a leader and arranges the programme for the
regular meetings of the society. The Committee on Christian Work sees
to the money matters, welcomes strangers, and visits the sick.

Christian Band meets every Sunday evening immediately after tea, and,
excepting one evening in each month, when Dr. Gaines addresses the band,
the meetings are conducted by the teachers and students. One evening in
every month is devoted to Foreign Missions, when interest is shown not
only by a study of this cause, but by contributions and earnest prayers for
the conversion of the world. The greater part of these contributions are
sent to China for the support of a little Chinese girl in one of our schools
there.

This band has done much good in the past ; may it continue to do so
in the future.

The Mediator

HE white cow was certainly uninteresting to-day. Slie would
hardly lift her tail e\'en when Frederica tickled her with a long
willow switch ; and the switch had a bunch of leaves at the end
that made it most suitable for tickling.
Frederica was sitting on a post of the pasture fence, at a discreet distance
from the house, and hidden from it furthermore by an intervening clump of
cedar- trees. Slie felt that for several reasons it was wise not to be seen at
the house just now. Aunt Esther was making peach ] ickle, and as
Frederica frequently had to help pare the fruit when Aunt Esther did this,
she had taken time by the forelock this morning and had left shortly after
breakfast. She had even thought it best to wait until after dinner to dust
the parlor, for Aunt Esther did start pickling so very early in the day. So
Frederica had stuffed the dusting cloth in the bottom of the hall clock and
come out by way of the parlor window. Then another thing that kept her
from going home just now was that she had dropped her clean suubonnet in
the mud at the mill-run, and torn her skirt polishing a cedar-tree. All the
cedar- trees on the place bore marks of Frederica's polishing process. She
performed it by pulling the hairy bark off the branches till the wood was
soft and brown, and tlien sliding rapidly up and down like an uneasy lady
in a side-saddle. After this the limbs were in excellent condition till the
ne.xt rain.

But the white cow evidently had small intention of taking any notice of
little girls that day, so Frederica climbed down from her post on the fence
and turned towards the woods beyond the mill. She had to walk carefully
because her shoes and stockings were with the dusting cloth in the tall clock
case. It was nice and quiet in the woods, and Frederica had ample time to
think as she strolled along, dragging her feet over the sandy pathway. She
wondered whether Miss Christine would help Aunt Esther with the peaches
and talk about interesting things all the time. Miss Christine always seemed
to like to tell Aunt Esther everything, just as Frederica did. Aunt Esther's
face and hair were so smooth and unruffled, maybe that was the reason.
Frederica thought Aunt Esther was like "Elaine the fair, Elaine the lovable,"
though certainly Elaine was very young and Aunt Esther must be very old

66

tiow, for Aunt Esther had been taking care of her ever since she couid re-
member. She thought Miss Christine was just like "Ivvnette," because
"lightly was her slender nose tip-tilted like the petal of a flower." She
told Miss Christine this one day and Miss Christine laughed very much and
said she was a little poet. Frederica didn't see why saying that made her
a poet, and she wondered if she were to say "Behold thou art fair, my love,
thou hast doves' eyes," if Miss Christine would call her a little Solomon.

Poor Miss Christine ! she had seemed to be so cross and unhappy lately,
and she used to be so jolly. Aunt Esther ought to make her read the Bible
some, as Frederica had to do after she had been cross or naughty. Aunt
Esther said if she read her Bible very often it would make her good and
wise. So Frederica read her Bible in the morning right after breakfast.
This morning, however, she had read "The Cliarge of the Liglit Brigade"
instead. She felt reckless to-day.

The path wound along through the woods and came out near the big
mill-pond a quarter of a mile from home. As Frederica appro died the
open place, she saw some one sitting on a log by the water-side fishing. It
was a strange gentleman, she found on nearer view, and she came and stood
quite close to him, wishing he would look around, but the gentleman
seemed very much absorbed in his fishing, for he did not notice Frtdeiica
at all.

"There isn't any fishes here," she finally volunteered in a very
friendly voice.

The gentleman nearly dropped his rod, he turned so suddenly.

" Why, hello!" he said, "Where under the sun did yo/t drop from?"

Frederica wished very much that she hadn'c been naughty and come
out barefoot. The gentleman seemed to be looking right at her feet.

" I didn't drop," she faltered, blushing, and trying to stretch down her
short skirt. " 1 didn't drop. I just came through the woods."

" Oh ! yes," said the gentleman. " Well, won't you sit down and help
me fish? "

" You'd better try at the dam," said Frederica, climbing over the log
to sit beside him. " Miss Christine said she couldn't catch any fishes 'cept
at the dam."

The gentleman gave Frederica such a quick, searching look just here
that she felt all the smoldering sparks in her conscience burst into flame.

67

"I just believe he knows how bad I was and ran away," she thought
miserably. " He must have read the Bible till he is very wise. It's no use
pretending, I just might as well tell him right quick," and with a little gasp
she burst forth

" Aunt Esther was going to make peach pickle, and I didn't want to
peel, and I guess ]\Iiss Christine will help her, so I ran away, but my shoes
are in the dusting cloth ."

Frederica was apt to get confused when she talked fast.

The gentleman laughed a little, but there was a pucker between his
eyes.

" Is your aunt Miss Esther Trevilian? he asked.

"Oh! yes. Do you know her?", exclaimed Frederica delightedly.
She felt as if a hundred pounds had been lifted from her by the hasty con-
fession, and was beaming radiantly.

"No. That is, not exactly, I have heard of her," replied the gentleman
vaguely. "Do you live ah, do you live quite alone?" he continued.

"Why Zack and Molly are there always," answered Frederica, "and
Miss Christine in the summer-time. And it's lots of fun when Miss Chris-
tine is there, only she is cross now most all the time."

"Cross!" said the gentleman in a surprised tone. "Cross? why you
don't seem to have a very high opinion of Miss Christine."

"Oh ! Oh ! " cried Frederica, leaning forward in earnest effort to cor-
rect whatever false idea her words had given this curious man as to dear
Miss Christine's character. "I didn't mean that. She is a virtuous woman,
and her price is far above rubies. But I think somebody is unkind to her,
somebody in the city. That is why she is unhappy and not like she used
to be. Oh, you don't know how nice she is and how good she is" she
stopped breathless.

The young man was listening as if he were quite interested.

"H'm," he said, "What makes 3-ou think some one is treating her
badly?"

"Oh ! because she looks so disappointed when Zack comes from the
post-office and she doesn't have a letter, and I heard her say to Aunt Esther
they knew I was there, so I truly wasn't listening I heard her say she
thought he would have written if she hadn't been so horrid, and I think
it must be a very bad brother like 'Elsie Hardcastle and her Brother, you

68

know. But wlien I asked her if her brother wasn't kind to her and if she
loved him very much, she said I was just a little girl and to go down-stairs."

Frederica could not help feeling rather aggrieved in recalling this
repulse given her sympathetic advances.

The gentleman looked at Frederica in a very kind way indeed, and
Frederica thought she had never seen anybody with such nice eyes. She
smiled responsively.

"I am very much obliged to you for telling me that" said the gentle-
man. "You see, I'm rather foolish and impatient in the way I treat people
myself sometimes, and I hope it will do me good."

After a little pause he went on.

"Don't you think we are good enough friends to know each other's
names? Now, I guess )our name is Frederica. Mine is John Gray."

"Why, how could you know, Mr. John Gray?" exclaimed Frederica,
dimpling with appreciation of this fresh proof of her new friend's wisdom.

Mr. John Gray only laughed, and Frederica felt quite mystified. He
had known Aunt Esther's name too !

Mr. John Gray then kept staring at the water for such a \-ery longtime,
that Frederica felt he must be thinking once more of fishing.

" Don't you think you'd better go down and try again at the dam?"
she asked. "You know what I told you about Miss Christine."

"Why, yes, Frederica," said Mr. John Gray, springing to his feet. " I'm
going to try again after what you told me." And he laughed in a very-
merry way.

Frederica s'.arled to scramble tip too. Tlien she gave a little sudden
terrified scream and cowered trembling and shuddering on the ground.
And Mr. John Cjray made a dive like lightning and snatched a horiid
writhing, hissing something from the grass scarcely a foot from Frederica's
bare leg and flung it far out into the mill-pond.

Then he gave a quick ejaculation and clapped his wrist to his mouth.

Frederica clung to the log and fairly moaned in the agony of her terror.

" Oh ! he bit you ! " she cried ; " he bit you, and it was because of me.
Oh ! I have killed you ! What shall I do ! What shall I do !"

John Gray made haste to lift her up with his free hand, and soothed her
gently.

69

" Don't be so frightened, Frederica," he said. "Wh}-, I'm all right, little
girl. It isn't going to hurt me at all, and it wasn't a mite your fault.
Now you run home quick to your Aunt Esther, there's a good girl. Let me
see you start down the path. I'll be all right. Don't bother one minute
about me. I'm just going to the blacksmith's for a little while. Run
along, fast."

Frederica did run along fast. She ran so very fast that if she hadn't
been so frightened she must have dropped before, breathless and trembling,
she at last flung herself into Aunt Esther's arms.

" Oh ! I have been so wicked," she wailed, "I started with being only
na-na-naughty when I ran away from the p-peaches and d-d-dusting, but I
am wicked now and I have slain a man, and the C-Ci-ty is so far away."

" Whatever is the child talking about ? " exclaimed Aunt Esther. Jl7iat
city? slain a man !"

"Oh ! the City of Re-efuge," sobbed Frederica. "I know he will die.
He said he wouldn't, but it was a snake, and I know he will, and I will be
a man-slayer."

"Try to tell us about it, dear," said Aunt Esther, and Miss Christine
smoothed back Frederica's hair.

" It was at the mill-pond," gasped Frederica, still rather sobbingly,
" and he was fishing, and his name was John Gray, and we were just going
to the dam because he said he was going to try over again after what I told
him about Miss Christine ; and then the snake .started to bite me, and he
grabbed it, and it bit him, and he has gone to the blacksmith's, he said ; and
he said it wouldn't kill him, but it will, I know"

" The blacksmith's !" cried Miss Christine, and she ran out of tlie house
almost as fast as Frederica had come in.

" Dear, put on a hat," Aunt Esther called after her pleadingly.

Then Aunt Esther took Frederica up-stairs and made her lie down, and
bathed her face, and said she had had a shock, and kissed her a great many
times.

"Aunt Esther," said Frederica, "I can't think what made me be so
wicked. Will I really not have to go to a City of Refuge? O, Aunt Esther,
' I am aweary, aweary, I would that I were dead,' just like Mariana in the
moated Grange, Aunt Esther."

"Don't say that, clear, God wouldn't like it," said Aunt Esther. "Voii
have been naughty, my child, but now you are repentant and we all forgi\e
you ; so lie quietly, dearie, and go to sleep."

"It was good of Miss Christine to go so quickly to see about poor ]\Ir.
John Gray, wasn't it. Aunt Esther?" asked Frederica.

Yes, dear," said Aunt Esther.

Then after a little while a joyful voice called from below: "Miss
Esther, O Miss Esther, can't you come down just a minute?" And Fre-
derica heard Miss Christine running up the stairs.

"He is all right," she cried. " He says it is perfectl)- safe now. Where
is that precious child? Oh, Frederica, dear little Frederica, it was all
because of you."

" I know it was, ]\Iiss Christine," said Frederica penitentlv, "and my
heart was wasted with my woe. But he is going to get well, isn't he? And
isn't he nice? Is lie going to be your friend too. Miss Christine?" asked
Frederica. M. B. D.

A Saga of Eventide

Art wearied, love ? All tired out from play?

Wilt rest these little limbs in mother's arms?

Aha I 'tis but an hour ago since thou

Didst say, "The night comes on too soon." Yet now

Hast come to lay thy head on mother's breast.

And gladly hear herlell thee foolish tales.

Then nestle close, and listen, Heart's Delight ;

I'll tell thee how the fairies close ihe day.

As glowing sunset fades-out in the west.

The leaders sound their tiny horns; so soft,

Dear Heart, that thou and 1 would never hear.

Hut ail their liltle subjects hear the call.

And soon come trooping in from everywhere,

From Forests, out from under rocks and leaves.

They meet together in a shady glen.

And there await the coming of their queen.

It is not long before faint music sweet

Is heard. Then they behold the queen's approach.

She stands there in her car, a single flow'r

With violet wheels. She drives her four fire -flies,

Well harnessed in with twisted spider's web.

Her people raise a cry of joy and pride;

And as she passes spread their tiny wings

And follow close behind. Then on they go.

And on, and farther on. The moon comes out.

At last the queen veers 'round her ro)'al car.

Then all turn back, and through the moonlit woods

I'hey softly flit ; now slower and more slow.

And now they reach the glen, and all sink down

To rest and sleep until the morn, As thou.

Mine own, shalt rest and sleep until the morn.

The Foolish Virgins

OW ivhat right had they to go and take our holida)' from us
this year? It never would have happened when Dr. Tay-
lor was here ! I just knozv that ' priscy ' Dr. Thome's at
the bottom of it all, and I call it simply horrid!"
.-^ "Mean old things!" "Stupid!" "Absolute foolish-

ness!" "Cruelty to animals!"

"Ain't it a shame,
A measly sha-ame,"

chanted a shrill little voice by way of conclusion, as the girls pressed closer
about the swing. Here sat Alice Hay, the first speaker, and four other lead-
ing spirits the Festive Five, they were called each chattering excitedly
in concert with the girls who happened to be nearest her.

Ah ! how righteous was their wrath ! They had sustained a most
terrible injury. For reasons, best known to themselves, the faculty of
Engleside Seminary had desecrated a time-honorod custom. Instead of
meekly signing the annual petition for holiday on the first of April, they
had firmly declined to affix their signatures to this document. Such mu-
tiny had been a thing unheard of in that school for the past fifteen years.

Regarding the cause of their deprivation Alice's venture was quite cor-
rect ; but her characterization of it was not so good. Whatever else Dr.
Thorne may have been, he was not what that much-used epithet of the
school-girl, "priscy," signifies. It is true that during the few months of
his principality, he had wrought a number of unwelcomed changes in the
school, for he was a man with many ideas differing from those of liis lenient
predecessor ; but the reason and justice of these changes, even the girls had
finally to recognize. But to return to the indignation meeting.

A silence not the genuine article, of course, but a fairly good imita-
tion had fallen upon the little group. A sure sign of miscliief bre\^ing !
Suddenly Ann Tanner, the girl sitting next to Alice, sat up very straight
and looked intently into the faces before her.

"Girls," she said impressively, "we must rebel ! "

"A-a-h!" gasped her audience ecstatically.

"Yes," she went on quickly, "it's come to that. We must simply show
the Faculty we Tvon^t be treated like infants! We've a right to that day and
if they won't give it to us, why we'll take it ! Sh!" as the clamor began
to rise again. **Be quiet, girls ! We don't want the others to know about
it till we've gotten everything planned. Then we'll tell the rest of the
girls, and make all of them promise to stand by us. Come on up to our
room right now, all of you." And hopping out of the swing, she and Alice
ran swiftly across the campus, the other girls swarming after them.

On the first day of April the sun rose bright and early at Engleside.
The occupants of the Seminary did not follow his example till some time
later than was their custom. When the janitor came to wind up the bells
that marked the events and periods of the day, the key was nowhere to be
found. So it was only after a very cross set of teachers had gone from
room to room that the sleeping damsels were roused from their dreams.

Breakfast was hardly a success that is, to the teachers. There may
have been present some who disagreed with them. A series of the most
remarkable phenomena was observable ; chairs were pulled from under
tables only after much untying and breaking of strings, and most of the
napkins refused to be separated from the tablecloths. Then there was tea
and coffee, which, no matter how much sugared, would no I give up a cer-
tain bitter taste. But under these and similar discomforts, the student-body
bore up with praiseworthy fortitude.

When the meal was fairly begun, and most of the giils had assembled.
Dr. Thorne rapped on the table for silence, just as if he had an ordinary
announcement to make.

"Young ladies," he said, without a trace of irritation in his voice, "I
merely wish to remind you of something that may have slipped your mem-
ories. We will have chapel this morning as usual, at 9 o'clock." And
equally undisturbed did his hearers appear.

Promptly at 9 the chapel began to fill up, and in a few moments
teachers and pupils were in their places. After the opening hymn, Dr.
Thorne rose and began to turn the pages of the big Bible. "As you will see
from our reference cards, the lesson for this morning is found in Matthew

74

XXV : i-ij- The Parable of ihe Foolish Virgins. Let all join in the read-
ing." And together they went through the story of those unwise young
women. Then came the prayer, and then

"Young ladies," said Dr. Thorne, looking pleasantly down at his
audience, "we have just before chapel made a most astonishing discovery.
Would you believe it, every recitation room in the house is locked!" [Looks
of polite surprise from the young ladies.] " Yes, it is quite true," he went
on. "At first we were quite puzzled as to what course to pursue. Of one
thing we were sure, that you must not be deprived of any useful knowledge
and experience which this day could possibly give you. At last we hit
upon a plan. As you know, we are fortunate enough to have here two
large, sheltered verandahs, also several long corridors and passages. We
have assigned divisions of these to the various teachers ; you will find the
order of arrangement on the bulletin-board. In each of these divisions I
have had a chair placed for the teacher. I feel sure that you young ladies
will not object to standing during recitations. I hope this may prove a
pleasant and profitable day to you. You are dismissed."

For a moment the chapel was absolutely still. The girls were literally
stupefied. The teachers were stnilingly observing the eiTect of the Princi-
pal's words.

"You are dismissed," repeated Dr. Thorne, blandly.

The girls rose with a start, and began to file quietly toward the door.
A certain little crowd of cronies came last.

"And five were foolish," murmured Ann in Alice's ear as they passed
out of the chapel. M. B. J.

An Errand of Love

' Enthroned there in a dewy lily stalk.

The rustling breezes told the midnight hour;
A screech owl, in her far secluded bower,
Awoke the echoes of the woods around
Wliere elves and fairies, in sweet slumber wound,
Were dreaming of some mischief they might plan
To wreak upon some unsuspecting man.
Anon, a silver bugle, low and clear.
Across the woodland sounded far and near

And shook the green leaves on the forest trees.

And forth from all the woodland, at the sound,
A hundred thousand elves and goblins bound.
So lightly, swiftly, sped they o'er the sod
No tender sprig of turf on which they trod
Was crushed beneath their airy-winged feet,
While far on o'er the copse they went to meet
Their bugler-chieftain in the elfin grove.
At last they halted in a moonlit cove,

Deep-shadowed in the gloomy, leafy wood.

76

Enthroned there in a dewy lily-stalk
The king and queen of all the elves who walk
Abroad to plot and alter human fate,
Encircled by their courtiers, sat in state.
The goblins settled on the leaves and grass
And grew as si ent as a nun at mass ;
They well knew by their rulei's tragic mien
He did his numerous subjects thus convene

To speak with them of great and weighty things,

"And forth from all the woodland at the sound

At length the king arose with stately grace.

Glanced 'round upon his mighty elfin race,

And said, " O brother-spirits of the air.

There dwelleth in a distant college-hall,
A studious maid, of youthful years and fair
As she who caused great Ilia's direful fall.
And there when all the world's to slumber gone
She toils and works and frets till early morn

With books and books and books that have no end.

Now who among my elves will be her knight.
And save this lovely maiden from this plight

Vnd gain renown in every land and clime ?"
At once a hundred fairy knees were bowed
Before the lily-throne of their liege-Iord ;
A hundred fairy voices begged a chance
To try their fortune with their magic lance
Each proving well beyond all doubt that he
Alone could this poor maid's knight-errant be.

1 he elf-king lisl'iiing to his chivalrous band
t'pon his shoulder felt an airy hand,
And, turning, met with id concealed surprise
Pan Cupid's little wily, prying eyes.
At once began the reckless little sprile
To tell the fairies of his wondrous might
And power to sway these fickle human hearts,
Till he had gained by his persuasive arts

The king's consent to free the luckless maid,

Thai eve the maiden by her window stood
And gazed out in a silent pensive mood
At passers-by along the busy street
That echoed with the tramp of hurrying feet.
Sometimes a group of laughing children

came,
And now and then a stately gray-haired dame,
And once a troop of jolly college men
Paused at the rolling campus' farther end

And boldly entered the enchanted grounds.

Just then a naughty littly boy, concealed
Within a lofty tree-top's lealy shield.
Let fly a silver arrow from a bow
Straight to the Maiden's window right below.
II she was wounded by it no one knew.
If any one had seen it when it flew
Her future conduct might have been explained,
But as it was thev sought to find in vain
The reason why she threw away her books.

Thine Eyes

Dear e)'es, sweet eyes, in whose deep depths do lie
AH untold truths of love's own mystery
Ma chcrie, look once again in mine own ;
Let me not grope in darkness all alone.

Be thou my guide ; thine eyes shall be my light.

Thy soul, O chcrie, was to thee God-given,
And through those dark brown orbs it shines so bright

A vision of the purity of Heaven.

Fate

Only a lily half broken,
Only a word half spoken.
Only a whispered prayer.

Only a violet constancy.

Only a frivolous fancy.

Only drifted apart.

Only a jasmine of beauty.

Only a life moved by duty.

Only left bleeding there.

Only a rose ihat is scattered,
Only a dream that is shattered,
Only a broken heart.

A Lullaby

(Dedicated to Mr. Davis.)

Sweet and low, sweet and low, ( !)

Whistle of A S. I.
Slow, slow, shriek and blow

Whistle of A. S. I.
Out of the power-house you flow
Forcing some angry girls, we know,

Back to their rooms to hie,
While you shriekingly, while you piercingly blow.

A Few Sensible Re narks

Yoii are now in a jollier court,
Here mirth and laughter's our fort ;

May j'our time be repaid

By the hits we have made,
Till you're glad you've come to this court.

There are times when Miss H. says "Girls,'
In this noise my head simply whirls.

If the sounds in the hall

Do not cease, I must call
Dr G. to come pull out your curls."

A certain professor said, " How

Can I find who doth make such a row

On m}' pianos most dear !"

Had he caught her I fear
She'd not have been living till now.

There was once a young lady from Deem,
Who had daily to write a short theme.

This torture she stood

As long as she coidd,
Then expired with a last piercing scream.

I^UST outside a little village of great antiquity, at the end of a
Laue of Hardie Burcli trees, arise the Brown, moss-grown turrets
of the castle of Gaines. It is a fortress consisting of a large Stone
tower, surrounded by smaller buildings and encircled by an Apple-
yard of great size. One lone Chick and two Peacocks are the only inhabi-
tants of this yard. A Wolf and Lupo hover near, awaiting an opportunity
to spring upon these unfortunate creatures, which catastrophe is averted by
three Hunters who constantly keep guard upon the battlements.

Outside the wall stretch the vast Akers of an old Duke, a valiant Scot
and the lord of the castle. In one of the fields a Farmer is raking Hay.
On the grassy slope of a Hill in an expanse of Green meadow-land, a
Shepherd (ess) is tending her Wooley flock. A little to the Wright the
Whitesides of a mill gleam in the sunshine ; the jolly Miller is standing in
the door, while Sheetz of water pour over the mill-dam. At the huge iron
gate you Meet A Barker, the guardian of the fortress, a Good old dog not
really so fierce as he looks.

Inside the castle is a great banquetting Hall, communicating with other
apartments and having at each end immense fireplaces with the Cranes
hano-ing in them. The old Duke is now left alone with his two Young
grandchildren, a Win (some) lass and a Bonnie Laddie. Most of his retain-
ers have left him. Only the Baker, the Butler, the Cook, the Brewer and
the Smith remain faithful.

During the long twilight (for in that country it is Lyt tel late in the

evening), the old man and his grandchildren often sit aronnd the hnge fire-
place piled high with logs of Wood, while the grandfather relates stories of
former days.

One stormy night, as the West wind howled around the walls and the
fire sent out its ruddy glow, lighting up the antique old room with its relics
of the past; the tall silver Candler (labra), the trusty sword of the aged
warrior, scarred and Gash(ed) by many a conflict, and his spear with its
Sharp and glittering point, the Duke sat as usual with his grandchildren at
his knee.

Pointing to two curiously carved buckles, he said to his grandson :
" Laddie, you must ever cherish these, for they Arbuckles which your great
grandfather won at a tournament. O, that was a Gloer(ious) day in the
times of spruce King George, when he rode forth on his Black charger and
I by his side with our trusty squire Davis. On the way we met two gallant
knights. Sir Stephen and Sir Maclean, going to the tournament to Winn
the favor of the fair ladies of the faculty, and Wright valiantly did these
two brave knights fight Daily in this tournament. They were accompanied
by their attendants, who were your cousins your Uncle Hugh's son, your
Uncle Donald's son, your Uncle Tom's son, your Uncle John's son and
your Uncle Robert's son. That was the day when I was wounded nigli unto
death (poor old man, if he could only have been sent to the Hopkins), and "

Just then the Peel of the Curfew sounded and the story was interrupted
by Cora, the children's nurse, appearing in the door.

" Land a Massie, chilen, it's time you was in bed."

"O Shaw, Cora, the whistle hasn't blown yet," cried Laddie.

"There, there, children," remarked their grandfather, "run along to
bed and sleep till yon are awakened by the crowing of the Cox ; and if
the Morrow is Farrar, we will finish our story when we go for our walk."

The Olympic Council

I sing of the Council Olympic, assembled one mid-winter night.

Great Jove sat enthroned in the arm-chair, a great and an awe-filling view,

And nearby sat Juno, the white-armed, who ruled all the circle with grace,

Minerva, Proserpina, Vesta (the household goddess of the land).

And Ceres was seen, pondering deeply, in German she's thinking I ween,

" If a worm has a cerebellum, how much does a June-bug know? "

The sou of fair Maia debated with the stately Euterpe,

" If a cat sings six notes to a minute, how much of a tune will that be? "

Then Jupiter called them to order, and the roll Roma started to read,

When lo ! nor Aurora, nor \'enus, nor Diana answered the call.

Great Jove looked over his glasses, "Now where can they be? " he said.

"If convenient will some of the council please hasten and go out and see?"

iMinerva, wise, offered to find them. She searched all the haunts of men,

And found them at last, friends, destroying about thirty eggs of a hen.

They left them at Jupiter's call, but their hearts they were heavy and sad.

They knew that before they returned those eggs would be burnt to a coal.

They marched in and all took their places. The council proceeded to work.

Of a sudden, prepare, friends, 'twas startling, it ne\-er had happened before.

The door opened wide, j'oung Apollo came swiftly into the room.

'Twas Juno he wanted to see, for the council he always had shirked.

Jove stared in amaze for a moment, then said, " Sir, please have a seat.

We're glad )-ou have come. I believe, sir, the very first time in three

months."
And then, in the midst of the council, a wailing was swept through thin air.
Mixed with bloodthirsty barks from Cerberus. They rushed to the window

to see.
'Twas naught but a poor youth whom Charon had allowed to escape from

the car.
And wander up in the direction of the brick-walk that led to the house.
Cerberus had had quite a dinner from off of his shoulder before

Il6

They could rescue the youth from his clutches, aud wildly the poor lad

did wail,
"They will call me 'the!\Liu with the Ho(l)e," aud straightway his hair

did assail.
But Medea fixed back his shoulder quite uew with a uice piece of Bacon.
The council once more took their seats and began to discuss the reports
Of the maidens who dwelt near Olympus.

The council was very harmonious, until Goddess Roma complained
That \'ulcan talked quite too often, she thought it was her time again.
\'ulcan breathed hard and fast, mighty blast of wrath and of ire and

contended,
That if he but thus desired, he would talk till the meeting was ended.
Jove called them to order, but Vulcan's heat rose to such height that a flask
Of explosive he had in his pocket went off with a terrible blast.
And the council was quickly resolved into naught but thin air aud some

smoke.

Stupidity. Take one trig., one " Eysenbach," six "3000 words," four
" chardenals," six rhetorics, and as many "Latin proses" as are available.
Pile up rather loosely. Saturate with naphtha, or any other substance of
like nature. Apply a match and look calmly on. And if you don't see
stars and at least the tails of comets it is only because there is no hidden
brilliancy to be discovered in book lore.

A Beauty Lotion. Take seven parts of burnt ochre to three of cerulean
blue ; two of magnetic oxide of iron to six of ammonium chloride ; one of sul-
phate of magnesium to six of crude diamond; seven of thermo-magnetic
chloride of potassium to six of filtered chloride of water ; five of electro-
magnetic acid to thirteen of violet phosphate. Apply to the face at regular
intervals. (Any of the above ingredients may be had on application to Dr.
Arbuckle at the laboratory.)

To Improve One's Disposition. Come down too late for chapel with a
fourth of your lessons weighting down your brain and the remaining part
burdening your arms. Before 9 o'clock lose half your books. Hunt them
high and low till your hands are black with the accumulated dust of unused
desks and shelves. Then just at the time for your written lesson in math,
lend the only pencil you have to some one \vho is too conscientious ever to
return it. Forget to study the last part of your Bible lesson, and don't fail
to say so at recitation. Later on use potassium chloride in a two-hour ex-
periment which calls for ammonium chloride. Finally work three hours on
a trig, problem to find at last that your mistake was in taking the log of A
in the .'in column instead of the Cos.

Idleness To a solemn compact to sweep your room once a month add
a great reputation for arranging the hair and remembering what the history
lesson is. Mix with this a tangible announcement of your ability in the
fine art of candy-making. Flavor with an extremely obliging disposition.

Disappointments . Discard all expectations.

Homesickness. Go and get a "nintitriate " friend.

Giddiness. No prescription. But every one is advised to be rid of it

Don't walk pigeon-toed.
Don't take chops when there 're not any.

Don't ever get on the Annual staff.

Problems

M. B. J. In answer to 5001' inquiry concerning proper costume for
breakfast, I reply, that a coat biittoning close up to the neck, worn with a
slock collar, is quite the thing this season. The skirt worn with this may
or may not be of the same material as the jacket usually it is not.

N. S. & B. Mc. Yes, thej- often assemble around the church gate, and
I know it is very annoying to you. Walk gracefully on in a dignified man-
ner and pay no attention whatever to them.

S. Iv. Quite the thing for foot-wear on cold, rainy days when you
make use of your shortest walking-skirt, are high-heeled opera slippers.

A girl fifteen years old should wear a pompadour at least ten inches high.

E. Mc. You should always bid your friend good-bye at the drawing-
room door. Under no circumstances is it allowable to accompany him to
the gate and bid him a fond adieu in view of the spectators who might be
on the campus.

I would discourage correspondence between school-girls and boys.

B. J. Yes, it is always worn on the third finger of the left hand.

I would advise the young ladies to invite to their receptions only those
young gentlemen who are of sufficient age to be allowed to come without a
chapercM.

O. & S. A sweet disposition is absolutely essential if a young girl
wishes to be attractive. You should strive to be always pleasant even to
those of your own household, with whom you come in contact every day.

D. S. A young man certainly deserves a pleasant "Thank you," for
picking up your bundle, e\-en if he is not the one you intended should pick
it up when you dropped it.

J. C. A kind, sisterly manner on your part will do much to bind up
his broken heart.

Jockey. Perhaps you are suffering from spring fever. Try an hour's
ride on your best "pony" daily. It is advisable to take these rides entirely
alone.

For information on any other subjects about which the young ladies
have asked, " they will please remain after prayers. ' '

Reflection on Exams

One may justly suppose
That she many things knows,

If she only is able to tell 'em.
But paper and pen
Confronting her, then
The whole of it goes
And rapidly flows

Risfht out of her cerebellum !

' The Unknown Quantity."

Mr. Donald Fraser and Miss Agnes Scott.

(Not) As Ithers See Us

From Five A.M. Until Ten P.M.

<iy^,^ HOSE fortunate people who have either graduated, or at least

^r\,-^ " quituated," are forever saying, "How I wish I were a school-

^ \f) ^k girl again !" If it were merely a matter of choice, I'm sure

^J-^ they would find plenty of toiling, laboring girls who would

\ willingly exchange lots with them.

Call them "the happiest days of jour life," indeed ! I'm sure nothing
is more pleasant than to work from seven p.m. to nine p.m. and from five
A.M. to seven a.m. , on five Trig, problems and then go to class the next morn-
ing and report, "I've just gotten three, Miss Y , but I think I could get

them all if I just had a h'//le more time."

You always feel in a very pleasant humor, too, when Miss M hands

back your Latin Prose Book. It is more highly colored than when it was
handed in "black and white and red all over," truly describes its general
appearance.

All this is bad enough, but it is worse still to go out to the laboratory,

say at one o'clock, and start an experiment which Dr. A says you can

easily finish by the two o'clock bell. Two o'clock comes, you rush in late
to dinner, hurry back, and at four-thirty, tired, and disgusted at the loss of
precious time, you put up the old apparatus, and joyfully think of the five
hard lessons to be learned for the next day.

One has to experience the maddening pleasure of writing themes to
know what true happiness is it is something that words cannot describe

nor the mind conceive of. It is a peculiar sensation, too, when Miss L

reads your theme in class, and exposes all you shortcomings and un-
heard-of blunders to the critical comments of all your classmates.

After all, that old whistle, harsh and discordant as it is, seems almost
melodious when, at a quarter of ten, it bids you say good-night to your
Psychology, Logic, Latin, French, History, or whatever is your companion
for the evening. E. G.

{Aurora^ Jaruiary, igo2i)

A Class Pin

"Oh, they are perfect!}- beautiful!" "Aren't they dear?" and other
such expressions came from a group of merrj' Sophomores who stood
together looking into a box. The long-looked-for class pins had come.

"And to think they belong to us! Girls, if any one has to drop out,
let's have her forfeit her pin. (.)f course we will pay her for it," proposed
Ellen Gray.

"Let's do," responded the whole group at once.

Then ting-a-ling rang the recess bell, and the girls separated.

The school year passed the summer passed, and still, as a Freshman
jokingly remarked,

" Ellen has her little pin,

It's made of gold (I'm told),

And everywhere that Ellen goes

There goes that pin of gold."

And now as the Junior sits under a tree on the lawn, the same little pin
shines from the knot of silk on her waist. But she is so tired this evening,
perhaps Juniors have harder work. Her head rests against the tree and her
eyes are closed.

"Well, Ellen," her father seemed to be saving to her, "we think it will
be better for you to go to Mrs. Simmon's and leave Agnes Scott."

" Oh, papa !" and tears came to her eyes.

"Now, dear, don't argue the matter."

"But, papa, my pin I'll have to gi\'e it up !"

Ellen's eyes flew open, as a peal of laughter sounded on her ears and a
merry voice called to her.

" Hello, there, Ellen ! Don't hold j'our pin so tight. Nobody wants
to steal it !"

But Ellen only held the pin clo.ser in her hand.

"Oh, Mary," she said, "I've had such an c7 a'/)// dream."

Behind the Sigfn

"Please don't knock." The above sign, flauntingly conspicuous upon
tlie door of No. 69, makes the passers-by pause curiously, wondering what
the new girl can be doing behind that mysteriously closed door. But you
and I are privileged characters. We knock above the sign and enter. Bare
walls confront us. An open trunk stands by a window. The floor is strewn
with every imaginable article of a school girl's wardrobe, from afternoon
gowns to tennis rackets. The table is littered with a motley assortment of
books. Tennyson and Wordsworth are elbowed aside by Cfcsar's Commenta-
ries and Wentworth's Algebra ; a dainty blue and gold set of Ruskin is all
but hidden by an enormous green dictionary. We turn toward the dresser.
Here, dainty, useless toilet articles are almost hidden beneath a rainbow
heap of ribbons. Numberless photographs lie ignominiously, face down-
ward, in every conceivable place, and framed pictures are stacked on floor
and chairs. On the bed in the corner, in a crumpled heap, lies the owner
of it all, the new girl, miserable victim of the old complaint. We draw
nearer, but she does not see us. Her swollen eyes are looking far beyond
the tumbled room, far beyond the spreading campus. Softly we turn away.
We may not enter there. M. W.

{Aia'ora, Novemher^ igoi.)

The School Girl's Clock

Oh, the school girl's clock if it could only speak, what wonders it could
tell ! With its round jolly face it stands on the mantel and ticks calmly on
through all the ups and downs of a school girl's life. When she gazes
frantically up at it and sees she has only ten minutes more to learn that awful
lesson, it smiles at her encouragingly, still keeping up its steady tick-tick,
tick-tick, as its hands creep slowly around.

Although this little clock has such a serene countenance it is very
strict in the performance of its duty. About five o'clock on a frosty morn-
ing it goes off with a great whirring and jangling just at the time for which
the brave girl set it the night before. She lies for several minutes half asleep,
waiting for it to stop, but it perseveres. At last in desperation she seizes it
and bxiries it under the bed-clothes where it continues its admonitions, in
muffled tones for several minutes longer.

The ne.xt thing it knows of the outside world, it is being dragged from
its grave and hears a sleepy voice cry: "Why, I must have gone back to
sleep ! It's a quarter to seven and there is the rising-bell "
