The students of LaGrange Col-
lege take pleasure in presenting to
their many friends, for the first
time, "The Sillabub." We hope
that it will carry with it the "good
friendship" atmosphere of the col-
lege in all its phases. And we trust
it will set forth the standard of ex-
cellence and reflect credit on its
institution.

To our best friend, who has been so faithful and patient, wh<?
has labored for us and with us, who has made La Grange College
what it is. To our beloved President,

RUFUS WRIGHT SMITH

known to all of us who love him as "Uncle Rufus" we most reverently
and respectfully dedicate this inadequate tribute of our great affection
and esteem.

Fair La Grange, 'tis thy memory we cherish so dear

And with ardor thy praises we sing;

From the voice of the past echoes ever so clear

The sweet tribute we joyfully bring.

A symbol and type of all power and worth

We will long keep thy memory warm

And in hours of distress and harrowing dearth

We will guard thee and keep thee from harm.

May thy destiny ever be glorious and bright
And to others thy lesson still give
With Power to do, and with courage to fight
And forever so nobly to live.
Let us keep from all error
( )ur minds guard tor aye
Through the ages of sorrow and strife.
Be our herald of light through the journey of life
Till the red hills of Georgia decay.

Tunc: Star Spangled Banner

Our hearts now in song for our College so clear.

We lift to the throng, without doubt, without fearing

The world she has blest, every realm she has cheered;

Her battles have won, she has left no defeat,

But victories have gained, never dared to retreat.

The lives she sends forth are ne'er returned unemployed,

But are sought far and wide, never destined as void.

So forever, we live for the true and the right

To battle in life having God for Commander,

In union we die, if perchance in the flight,

Our colors still wave as a world wide defender,

And now our motto still bear "Live for service alone"

Else false to the cause and our college dethroned.

So glory to old "L. C." her name ever true,

Live on thru the years till the day shine anew!

The class of 1914 has had a varied experience and seen many
changes. Tn the fall of 1910 the freshman class was large and promis-
ing. It numbered more than forty girls. That year LaGrange was
stirred by more class spirit than had ever been known before on Col-
lege Hill. The freshmen took an important part in all the class strug-
gles. They were entertained by the juniors and in turn gave them a
famous banquet which no following class has even tried to equal. But
a blight fell on this young class. A senior lost a box of candy and ac-
cused the freshmen of appropriating it. The class did not soon re-
cover from that unjust suspicion. The sophomore class next year was
much smaller, and they attended so strictly to business that nothing ex-
citing happened. The junior class was even less in number in 1912, but
in spite of that, one of the best classes ever known at LaGrange. If the
same rate of decrease had continued, the class of 1914 would have
been a minus quantity. But happily for all concerned, two girls de-
cided that they must have the honor of graduating in 1914 instead of
I'M 5 even at the cost of a summer's study. So the fall of 1913 saw
four A. B. seniors all of whom had the distinction of holding a class of-
fice. The class has endeavored to be an honor to the college and to up-
hold worthily its traditions. This is our Past the Future is before us.

"It is within the rose
In its glory's full array;
See what that hud discloses
On this bright sunshiny day."

One beautiful spring morning- while visiting an ideal country
home, I casually strolled into a magnificent rose garden. It seemed
as if each rose strove to surpass the other in beauty. I passed from
one flower to another admiring the wonderful work of nature and man
Looking over them once more my eyes fell upon a beautiful blushing
"La France" rosebud which somehow had escaped my glances until
now. It attracted me particularly because it was my class flower at
L. C. in 1914. The rose nodded to me as if beckoning" me to pluck it. I
did so and sat down in the cool shade in a large arm-chair. As I sat
gazing into the depths of the rich velvety petals, my eyelids grew heavy
and I fell asleep.

Suddenly as if by magic the rose-bud transformed itself into a
fairy. The little fairy immediately spoke in soft mellow tones and
said, "Since I came from your class flower, would you like to know
about your class mates?" "Yes, indeed," I managed to say, so over-
joyed with thoughts of hearing about my class mates of whom I had
heard nothing in many years. "Well, come with me, and I will take
you to them all."

Soon I was ready for my journey. My wings were securely
fastened to my body, and the little fairy and I made our flight. All
the way I could not think of anything but my college days and my
class mates. I was wondering which one I should meet with first
when the little fairy suddenly stopped. I also descended not question-
ing why the fairy should stop in such a crowded, filthy, dirty squad of
houses in the heart of the great city of New York. Tn every direction
I saw ignorant, pale, dirty-looking children. We passed on into an-
other street and turned into an alley. To my amazement I met Rubie
Moss, my class mate. After greeting me she said she had decided
several years before to work among the tenement house districts of the
city she loved so dearly. T afterwards learned that she had established
an ideal Mission Home and had done a great deal of good. She was then
out visiting some sick people, and a happier person T never saw. T
always thought that in our Sociology class Rubie seemed to take a
great amount of interest in these districts, but the thought of her
working among them had never occurred to me. It was hard for me
to part with Rubie, but the little fairy urged me on.

23

Before leaving New York I purchased a newspaper, and in glar-
ing headlines I read the words, "Great Speech Delivered by member
of President's Cabinet." It read as follows: "Secretary of Treasury,
Mrs. John Bryan, delivered last evening a speech which will be re-
membered in years to come." Curiously enough I wondered who
This woman was, and at the close of the speech were the words, "Mrs
Bryan was before her marriage to the Rev. John Bryan, Miss Freder-
ica Westmoreland, a LaGrange College graduate." Astonishment
is too mild a word to express my feeling. To think one of my class
mates had attained such an honorable position in the political world,
What seemed queer about tins was the fact that she married a Baptist
minister, and then I recalled what she said to me one day when she was
studying Methodism. I said that I would like to study Methodism,
and she replied, "I had much rather study about the Baptists, for I
am going to marry a Baptist." The little fairy conducting me, I soon
reached Washington and Mrs. Bryan's office. It is needless to say that
I felt very much embarrassed, but when I was led into her office it all
quickly passed away. There stood our same "Freddie" with welcom-
ing smiles. She told me all about herself and that one of her teachers
at L. C, Mr. Hale, had been instrumental in securing her this office,
as he was a special friend of the President.

The little fairy whispered to me that we must be on our way and
bidding "Freddie" good-bye, we started to see the last of my class
mates, Sue Green.

We flew on and on over the great city and T wondered if we
should ever reach a destination. Yes, we alighted in front of a beauti-
ful suburban home back in a grove of green trees. I walked to the
door and rang the bell. She, herself, appeared at the door. Being
tired, I told my little fairy I wished to stay there all day. So Sue and
T had long talks over by-gone days. Her home was beautiful in every
respect. Her favorite color seems to have been green. All the walls,
rugs and curtains were green, and she told me she liked green so well
that she decided to let her name remain Green and not change it.
Since her college days she had taught school and had become very
rich, so that she bought this lovely home, and brought her aged father
and mother to live with her there.

As the sun began to sink behind the bank of evergreens, it re-
minded me that I should be going back to my dear old home in Georgia.
I bade Sue "Good-bye" and after a few days I was back in the home \
lcved so dearly. Ah! my little fairy left me. Where did she go? My
eyes opened wide and wider still. What? Did some one call me?
'Mary?" There I sat in the old rose garden and behold! It was a
dream.

I|t0t0nj of QUasa *15

Since history is a record that all man has done or attempted, 1
think it would be incomplete without a brief account of the life and
deeds of the present Junior Class of LaGrange College.

Three states have at different times contributed their brightest
and best to our number.

Since the class was enrolled September 15, 1911, it has always
been one of the strongest classes in school, not only in number, but in
ability as well. And for the past three years the college has drawn on
the class of '15 for some of its most proficient leaders in atletics, in the
different phases of literary work and in the religious life of the college.

During our Freshman year we furnished a debater for the public
debate of the Irenian Society, and Sophomore year some of the best
players of the basketball game between the teams of the two literary
societies. For the past three years our class has furnished more of-
ficers to the Mezzofantian and Irenian Literary Societies than any
other class in school, and this year the majority of Y. W. C. A. Cabinet
officers and all the officers of the student association are members
of the Junior Class.

While several of our number have dropped out from time to
time, each year has not failed to strengthen and add new talent to the
class, until at present six A. B. students, some of the most talented
musicians and students of Expression and Art and a large per cent,
of the best athletes in college compose the Junior Class.

But that I may not seem to attribute too much honor to the maids
of the rose and white, I wish to say here we give the greater amount of
the praise to our teachers, who have worked so faithfully with us; and
with their efficient assistance we hope in the future to ever bear up our
standard, "Cape diem,"

Ittaturij of thr g>ub-3ffrrahman (EUtfifl

At the beginning of the term 1913-14 our class had an enroll-
ment of thirty-two. Since then the number has been slightly reduced;
yet we still remain the largest class in school. "The largest class" is
one distinction we as a class rightly deserve' and do maintain
Quantity we have. What claim can we lay to quality? In our class,
we assert (and what teacher will dispute our claim?) are found some
of the most promising girls in college. Look at our talent. We have
among our number one of the most gifted Expression pupils in school,
several who promise much in the field of Art, others who are threaten-
ing (?) much in the musical realm, and not a few who are making
their mark (?) in the Literary Department. ( Should the reader here
of doubt truth of the above claim, let him see pages thirteen, twenty-
three, and one hundred twenty-three of the "LaGrange Register."
These pages record the results of mid-term exams).

In Athletics we have proved ourselves quite efficient. On the rolls
of the different athletic clubs of our college are already recorded the
names of not a few "Subs." Baseball is one of our specialties. Basket-
ball and Tennis have among us many devotees. We are just waiting
for a chance to prove our strength of "arms." Who can say that a La-
Grange "Sub" has ever shown the white feather or a disappearing
heel ?

Not unmindful of the inevitable fate of "the boast of heraldrv
pomp of pow'r" we speak thus of our present and predict better of our
future. We, the class of 1919, are truly striving to make a history
that is unlimited in events and unequaled in greatness.

The religious life of our college centers in the Young Woman's
Christain Association. The LaGrange Association is a charter mem-
ber of the United States Association, organized November, 1906. Since
then the spirit of this Christain organization has dominated the student
life of LaGrange College. At present seventy-five per cent of the
student body are members of the Young Woman's Christain Associa-
tion. It is the most powerful and influential body in the College.

The work of the Y. W. C. A. is directed by the President and her
various committees. Information as to the general work of the Na-
tional Association is obtained through the Intercollegiate Committee.
The Temperance Committee presents the cause of Temperance and
enlists the Total Abstainers. Various social functions, for the plea-
sure and recreation of all the students are arranged by the Social Com-
mittee. The Devotional Committee provides prayer circles and the
Wednesday and Sunday evening prayer meetings. Through these
prayer meetings the Y. W. C. A. endeavors to reach every student
uninterested in the cause of religion. The Mission Committee or-
ganizes the volunteer band, mission study classes and reading circles.
A result of which missionaries from LaGrange College are at work
in every field of Christain labor.

This year this Association has been represented at the Students
Council, The Students Missionary League, the Kansas City Conven-
tion, and delegates have now been elected for the Blue Ridge Con-
ference.

The next meeting of the Students league, which is a State or-
ganization, will be held in November at this college, and we are looking
forward to the inspiration and help we will receive from it.

All these various phases of Christian work blend together in
the fulfillment of the one purpose, "To win young women for Christ,
build them up in Christ, and send them out for Christ."

The history of our noble society dates from the youthful days
of our grandmothers, from the days of long" ago, even before dear
"Uncle Rufus" came to reign at "L. C," About the year eighteen-
eighty it was organized as the first literary society of LaGrange
College.

Its tone and purpose were then, as now, the very highest. Its
aim was to foster good fellowship among its members, and to encour-
age and promote the intellectual culture and literary activity of its
members and of the entire student-body of the College. Throughout
its history, the Irenian Society has stood for the highest principles; it
has been an important factor in cementing those friendships that en-
noble the lives of college girls ; it has stimulated to mental activity
hundreds of young women ; it has helped to br mg forth from all the
departments of work at "LaGrange" minds and characters worthy to
impress the history of our nation.

Its former motive exists ; nor has its past glory departed. With
the same quiet dignity and power it continues to rule. What made the
Irenian Society the pride and honor of olden days makes it an import-
ant contributor to the honor and glory of present days.

We pay noble respects to all Irenians to those of the yester-
days, to-days, and to-morrows. To our Society this health we drink:

"Irenian, may you always stand
For the noble and true !
Irenian, Irenian, here's to you!"

IRENIAN SONG

( Air "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" )

Irenian, the pride of our college.

We love thee with hearts warm and bright.

We bow to thy grace and thy beauty,

Thou hast ever been loving and gracious ;

Thy guidance has ever been wise;

So we come with a purpose tenacious.

And pledge thee thy service to prize.

Then hurrah for the

Then hurrah for the purple and white!

We would cherish thy memory ever,
And keep in our hearts bright aglow

Truth always and honor to know.
And always in life proud jealous.
With stranger or friend be we thrown,
We should reverence Irenian the peerless.
Nor shame us her name e'er to own.

litBtflrtj nf tht iMrzznfanttan Swtrty

BY MISS CLAIRE BECKWITH, '13

Some one has said that a nation having" no history is indeed happy,
but to a literary society such a statement is not applicable. "Happy be-
yond measure" is applied to that society whose origin stretches back
into the distant past, whose annals have been kept and handed down
from generation to generation. We, as a society, cannot boast of an
ancient origin ; but our past has been a memorable one, and the Mezzo-
fantian Society since its organization, has played no small part in the
history of LaGrange College.

Up to the year eighteen-ninety, there was in our college only
one literary society, the Irenian; but in that same year this society
was divided into two divisions. One of these retained the name of its
foster-mother; the other became known as the Mezzofantian Society.
The real founder of the latter organization was Mrs. Blanche Drake
Smith, wife of Mr. Euler B. Smith. There were about thirty charter
members of this organization. Among them were Mrs. Blanche Drake
Smith, Miss Maidee Smith, and Messrs. Euler, Leon and Alwyn
Smith. It was named for Cardinal Gniseppe Mezzofanti, a celebrated
linguist, who spoke forty-six different languages, and who was ac-
quainted with sixty-four others. Fittingly indeed was "Excelsior"
chosen as the motto of a society named for such a genius. The colors
selected for this new society were gold and black.

From this time on, the Mezzofantian Society has flourished, each
year becoming stronger and more influential in the college life of its
members, among whom it claimed girls of great talent and power.

In eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, the two societies edited
a magazine called the "Oreon." This periodical represented the work
done by the entire student-body of the College. But this magazine last-
ed only a few years.

Two years ago the Mezzofantian Society pledged to the College
the sum of five hundred dollars for a Society Hall. A certain amount
of this sum has been paid, and Ave hope to meet the entire obligation
within the next few years. Tn no phase of the Society work have the
members shown more prominently their loyalty and love for the So-
ciety than in responding liberally to this cause As a result of this re-
sponse, we see no longer a mere "castle in Spain;" but, instead, we
see a magnificent Society Hall rising to grace the Greater LaGrange
of the near future.

Mezzofantian Societv history is so far brief; but with each year's
adding something" memorable to our history, with a high standard
of ideals, with a clean record of work actually accomplished, and with
"Excelsior" as our motto, and a remarkable success in carrying out
this motto, we as a Society feel that, to a large extent, we are gradual-
ly attaining to our ideal.

56

BY MISS MILDRED EAKES AND MISS RUBY NEWSON

Mezzofantian, Mezzofantian, Mezzo girls are high-minded;

We love you so dearly ; They study and don't mind it ;

We will never find your equal; Mezzo girls are high minded;

Dear Mezzo, here's to you! Study all day long.

Here's to the Mezzofantians !
May they live a thousand years !
Here's to the Irenians !

May they live a thousand years less one day !
For what would the Irenians be
Should the Mezzos pass away?

(Tune "Everybody Works but Father")

Everybody studies but Irenians; Just put us both together,

They can't study at all ; And you will have some fun,

Something is the matter; Seeing the Mezzofantians

They have no sense at all. Put Irenians "on the bum."

Rah! Rah! Re! Re!
Who are we? Who are we?
We are right ; you are right ;
Mezzofantians out of sight !

M-E-Z-Z-O spells Mezzo,

The society with intellect, don't you know?

Society Song

(Tune "America") Let us swell the praise;

Mezzofantian ! 'tis to thee, With cheerful voices raise

Our dear Society, Our Mezzo song!

That we now sing! Let every one proclaim

Long mav your colors fly ! Thy glory, honor, fame ;

To the black and gold we cry! "Excelsior" is our aim.

Let us raise our banner high ! The sound prolong.
Loyalty we bring.

(Tune "Polly, Wolly, Doodle")
The Mezzos lead a strenuous life :
It's study and work all day.
We've left the Irenians out of sight ;
We study and work all day.

Farewell, farewell, farewell to the purple and white!

The Mezzos true

Form a valiant crew,

And are 'way ahead in the fight.

"LaGrange, LaGrange, we love you so dearly,
We will never find your equal.
LaGrange, here's to you"

"Uncle Rufus, Uncle Rufus, we love you so dearly,
We will never find your equal.
Uncle Rufus, Here's to you."

"Oh, won't you take me to LaGrange, so dear.

So I can see the sweet old girlies there,

Dear old Ruth, Blondine, too,

There's Annie and Dolly and Pinky and Polly,

Everyone's there, we'll have a jubilee.

W rite Olive and Bess and all the girls you see.

Down where such fun o'er flows,

Back there my heart sure goes,

Take me back to dear L. C."

"On a moonlight night, on College Hill,

We could hear the voices singing, we can hear them still,

You have stolen my heart, Somebody's Bill

As you sang a serenade on College Hill."

"Some folks say LaGrange is dead,

Her bones done riz again.

Hit her in the eye and knock her in the head.

Her bones done riz again."

"Sleep on beds made out of hay,
Pier bones done riz again.
Fish and hash three times a day,
Her bones done riz again."

"Yes you know LaGrange will live.
Her bones done riz again.
'Cause Uncle Rufus foots the bills,
Her bones done riz again."

"When the mid-night choo-chco leaves for old LaGrange

Pll be right there, I've got my fare.

When I see that rusty haired conductor man,

I'll grab him by the collar, and I'll holler

LaGrange, LaGrange.

That's where you'll stop your train that brings me back again,
Down there where Pll remain about a year.
Pll be right there with Bells when the old conductor yells
All aboard, LaGrange! All aboard for old LaGrange!"

Tune : Every Little Movement.
"Every bell that rings here has a meaning all its own.
The awful rising bell that rings just at break of dawn.
And the bell that rings here calling us to breakfast,
Where we will have some grits and gravy.
That's why we have the reputation
'No indigestion here."

Tune: That Coon-town Quartette.
"You don't mean to tell me that you've never heard yet
That L. C. Quartette.

You don't mean to tell me that you never met

That L. C. Quartette.

Sara's the tenor, Pinky's the bass,

Dolly sings soprano all around the place.

Most surprising, harmonizing.

Have you heard them ?

Go and hear them singing

'Billy, Billy,

Sweet little sugar pet'.

Throw a nickel in the drum,

Bumpity-Bum

To that L. C. Quartette."

"Oh! you sixty mile an hour choo-choo bound.

Rattle, rattle, rattle, cause

I 'm LaGrange bound.

You better hurry across the ground.

Don't you dare to go slow. Go

( )h, you honey, all the money honey coast,

Oh, you girlies, Uncle Rufus loves you most.

Wake up! Choo-choo! Roar and roar,

Steam up! Steam up! More and more.

Rattle, rattle, rattle, like you never did before.

'Cause I'm LaGrange bound."

"Old LaGrange, old LaGrange,
\\ ay dow n in Georgia midst the joyous streams.
Grand pianos playing 'round the door,
Teachers walking tip and down the floor.
( )ld LaGrange, Old LaGrange,
There is always a welcome for you there it seems,
For hospitality is a realitv
'Way down in old LaGrange."

"I will love L. C. when silver threads are shining 'mong the gold,
Just the same as \ loved her in days of old.
I will ne'er forget those old buildings standing on the hill,
When my hair is silver grav I'll love her still."

Stljr a 8. 3. Jfaaat

Soon as the midnight clocks did ring,

The girls started to the feast like kings.

On Ava's and Shaver's well filled ground

The girls tipped in and all sat down.

There came a knock on the bolted door

And the girls all scrambled from the floor.

Emmie Lee and Bess had jumped in the bed,

And "Boots" and Olive flopped down on their heads.

Jane and Nina to the closet did fly,

Jane with a dill pickle, and Nina some pie.

Annie Belle under the bed her fate did meet

When she was calmly pulled out by her hands and feet.

Finally came Miss Tatum with a face so fair

To find only Shaver and the goodies there.

Too late came Sara and Mae

To enter into our fun and play.

But to our sorrow, disgust and dismay,

Each one was found without delay.

"I shall see that you girls, each and all,

Shall meet the faculty in the College Prayer Hall,"

Were the dear ( ? ) little words Miss Tatum said,

As she sent us home to go to bed.

So woe betide the wandering wight

Of the girls who walked the halls at night.

Sltr ifftrst Sjalf f mtr After ffiujljt $dl

The light bell rang about fifteen minutes ago and finding out
for sure that every teacher on the hall is either fast asleep or safely
in her room, we venture to turn on the light for just one second.

My room looks exactly like a large mixing bowl. Sacks, papers,
cans and everything else that could possibly hold anything to eat are
piled on the bed, under it, on the chairs, on the dresser, behind the
radiator and almost everywhere else imaginable.

I search frantically about in the darkness for the can opener. It
is nowhere to be found. And Mary was sure she had put it just where
she could grab it anytime we needed it. Where in the world can it be?
Jane dives into a waste basket and at last fishes it out.

Now, where are the pimentoes? I begin opening three or four
cans only to discover that it's something else. I strike one of the few
precious matches and find them under my blanket on my bed.

We all breathe a deep breath of relief, feeling sure that, at last,
everything is just ready to begin cooking and it is only there's
nothing to cook with. To my horror 1 find there isn't a drop of alcohol
in the whole room. What in the world will we do now?

Just now Jane has a brilliant thought and tiptoes toward the
window. She raises it cautiously and slips out. Down the porch
she creeps to the girl's room next door, and finally succeeds in getting
a little alcohol, and tiptoes back. Just as she drops back into the room,
I hear a terrible and hair-raising sound in the hall. Slow and familiar
steps are coming straight to my door. No one knows better than I
what that means. I grow cold and- rather sick, and am suddenly
possessed with an insane desire to go through the Moor. Mary makes
a wild dash for the bed, but only succeeds in knocking over a chair and
a chafing dish full of chocolate, while Jane clutches my kimono with
both hands and holds on to me whispering in a tragic tone that 'she
knew she was going to kill us!'

Then the door is suddenly opened. A tall white robed figure
makes its way across the room; the light is turned on and three
horror smitten girls find themselves looking into the terrible eves of
a teacher.

82

Shaking iEurn

"Quiet Hour" bells had just rung and the girls retired to their
rooms to meditate over their sins of the past week at least that was
the purpose of quiet hour as recorded in the little brown Bible "The
Rules and Regulations for Government of the Students of LaGrange
Female College."

Scarcely had the last bell ceased ringing when two girls were seen
tearing up the stairs to their room. They gained their goal just in
time to save themselves from the usual chastisement administered on
such occasions. They rushed into their little nook of a home and sank
breathlessly on their bed.

"Close call, eh Martha?" said Peggy with a laugh.

"Yes, but we made it, thank Heavens!" was the reply of evident
relief.

"Let's get comfortable and get to writing, I've a billion letters to
answer," said Peggy as she arose and immediately began to change
her uniform for a long, Mowing red kimona, particularly becoming to
her brunette beauty.

"For Heaven's sake, Peg, have you seen anything of my boudoir
cap? I can't find it high nor low!" called Martha from the depths of
her little dressing-room.

"No, dear, 1 haven't," replied Peggy. "But," she added after a
slight pause, "it seems to me I saw something blue lying under the
dresser when I was sweeping this morning, perhaps that's it."

Martha immediately made a dive under the dresser and a few
moments later arose from her knees with the recovered treasure cover-
ed in dust. She gave the cap a vigorous shake and then carefully fitted
it over her mass of golden hair, heaped in coils about her beautiful
head.

Each seated herself with pen and writing pad for an afternoon
with the "folks at home" as they said. Peggy possessed herself of
the window seat, where, amid numerous soft pillows, she settled com-
fortably to her pleasant task. Martha sank into a large arm chair
and taking a sheet of paper from her writing pad, began a letter.

Both wrote steadily for a few minutes when suddenly they heard
three sharp raps on the ceiling above. Peggy laid aside her pen and
paper, raised the window sash and poked her head out.

"What's up," she called in a loud whisper to the girl overhead,
who was likewise leaning from the window.

"We've just fixed up a little salad and junk and thought perhaps
you and Martha might like a taste," explained the girl in the same
subdued tone. "Look out, here it comes," she added as a small basket
was lowered.

"Oh Glory!" exclaimed Peggy as she reached for the descending
basket.

"Don't it look good!" broke in Martha, "let's begin right now.
I'm just dying, I'm so hungry."

"All aboard!" responded Pegov as she ran to the washstand for
two forks.

They spread the dainty contents of the little basket on the window
seat and were partaking of it in high glee when suddenly a knock was
heard at the door. They exchanged frightened glances, then Peggy
quickly seizing two sofa pillows, flung them over the basket and feast,
while almost instantly Martha called sweetly, "Come in."

The door opened and the girls found themselves confronted by
Miss Jackson, the teacher in charge of their hall.

"Girls, what does all this noise mean?"

"Excuse us, Miss Jackson," said Martha in the most apologetic
voice she could command despite the mirth which seemed almost un-
controllable. "We didn't mean to* disturb you. Won't you sit down?"
she added quickly, as she pushed forward a chair.

"No, I haven't time to stay," replied Miss Jackson. However,
as if in contradiction of herself, she sat down on the edge of the prof-
fered chair.

Miss Jackson was a maiden lady of uncertain age and of the
opinion that young girls in boarding schools should be kept under the
most rigid regulations, the violations of which should be dealt with
most severely.

"Miss Alexander," she said addressing Peggy in her iciest tones,
"what is that 1 see lying under that sofa pillow at your side?"

"Why er it's er-er my writing materials. I guess," stammered
Peggy.

"Lift the pillow," commanded Miss Jackson.

Martha trembled for she well knew r what would be the result when
the salad and basket were brought to light.

"Where did this basket come from, Miss Edwin?" she asked,
turning towards Martha.

Poor Martha, with one dispairing look at Peggy, told how the
little basket had been lowered from the floor above.

84

\\ hen she had finished Miss Jackson strode over to the window
seat, picked up the basket and its dainty contents, and, with a few
words of severe reproof, marched from the room.

"She's as mean as the old Scratch, himself," hissed Peggy be
tween her clinched teeth.

"I'll reap vengeance for that or die," declared Martha with em-
phasis.

A short silence followed, which was abruptly broken by an ex-
clamation from Peggy.

"Oh! I know what we can do," she cried. "Lets write to that
Matrimonial Bureau in Cincinnati, that Pat told us about, and tell
them we want a husband and to please send us a half dozen or more
photographs, at once, from which to choose. Then we'll sign Miss
Jackson's name and await the results."

"Good!" exclaimed Martha, as she gave Peggy an affectionate
little squeeze. "Let's do it right now."

Xo sooner said than done. The letter was carefully composed
and they used the most dignified and high-sounding words they could
think of. Then it was addressed and laid away to await the morrow,
when the}' intended getting it mailed through one of the town girls.

A week later Peggy out of breath, rushed into the room one morn-
ing and seizing Martha began to dance wildly about the room.

"Oh! Martha," she cried, "it's come! it's come! And she's mad
as Hector. I saw her when the postman handed it to her. She was
so mad her face turned positively purple. Oh ! Goody ! goody ! goody ! '

"What on earth, Peggy?" asked the stupefied Martha as she final-
ly freed herself from her room-mate's wild embrace.

"The pictures, girl! Miss Jackson!" explained Peggy.

"Oh !" exclaimed Martha, as the light of understanding broke over
her face.

Then they sat down and laughed until the tears rolled down their
cheeks.

"I don't care now if she gives me fort}' demerits and takes my
privileges from now till June! She's into a mess good-fashion now,"
giggled Peggy.

"The P>lue Back Speller or the Multiplication Tables, one. says
that 'W ith whatsoever measure ye mete, it shall he measured back
unto you an hundred fold, packed down, tightly pressed and over-
flowing,' " concluded Martha.

POINTS

THE COLLEGE has no secret clubs.

THE COLLEGE was the first Southern college to adopt a uniform for girls, thereby

saving expenditures for "Sunday clothes" and "commencement dresses."
THE COLLEGE was the first Southern college to abolish "honors" and "medals" always

"apples of discord" in schools.
THE COLLEGE has had for eleven years the same standard of admission (to freshman

class, as Emory College and the University of Georgia.
THE COLLEGE curriculum, beginning with freshman, is a four-year course; and the

college year runs 36 weeks, not counting holidays.
THE COLLEGE has a music faculty who are all graduates, four of them holding diplomas

from the Royal Conservatory of Leipsic.
THE COLLEGE has the oldest high-graded music course in Georgia; it offers exceptional

advantages in voice culture, harmony, piano, pipe-organ (with electric motor).
THE COLLEGE has pupils' recitals in music (and expression) every two weeks during

the session; pupils lose no time in making special preparation for commencement.
THE COLLEGE charges no literary tuition to daughters of preachers and teachers living

by their profession.

THE COLLEGE has had the same President for the past 29 years, and during his ad-
ministration 588 young women have been graduated.

THE COLLEGE is a democratic school; poor girls wear the same uniform as rich girls;
those who "work their way" through school are none the less respected.

THE COLLEGE has a religious atmosphere: at the close of the present session every
student except two is a member of the Church.

THE COLLEGE is the only Methodist college for girls within the bounds and in the sole
possession of the North Georgia Conference.

THE COLLEGE has sent out more missionaries, in proportion to its enrollment, than any
other school in Southern Methodism, its graduates being now at work in Cuba, Porto
Rico, Mexico, China, and Brazil.
