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, whn. James G. Truitt, LaGrange. Edward K.

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. 16 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! E. AT.

"All fancy sick she is pale of cheer With sighs of love." 20 21 lass iftBtory 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. 22 pnijjlirry fur 1314 fctiinr (ttlaas SL GL "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. Mary Hunter. 24 &rmar Mill Georgia, Troup County, LaGrange, 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," Daisy Roney 34 ritmt?

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. Josie Hurst 47 . II. (.

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." 50 ilmttau 3Gtt?rarij Swtrtij Motto Colors Purple and White Willouise Ruth Sparks Dolly Palmer Jones Rebecca Louise Knox Essie Mae Floyd Rowena America Dillard Vera Morgan Rawies Eunice Inez Dean Marjoree Humber Miss Hallie Claire Smith Calera Pauline Becton Calera Pauline Becton Bessie Blackmon Daisy Louise Boney Mary Pauline Brock Fannie Elizabeth Black Irene Butenschon Eddie Mae Chastain Marie Elizabeth Cotton Marp-aret Province Cornwell Rowena America Dillard Eunice Inez Dean Mary Dee Erwin Margaret Elizabeth English Essie Mae Floyd Annie Victerberg Fennell Miss Ada Mildred Gane Ruby Godwin Missouri Ellen Harris Marjoree Humber Mrs." C.

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 !

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. (chorus) Then hurrah for the Purple and white ! Then hurrah for the I 'urple and white ! We herald thy glory and honor ; Then hurrah for the purple and white! We would cherish thy memory ever, And keep in our hearts bright aglow The purpose which thou hast enkindled, 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.

"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. 57 Mezzofantian Society Mascot Truman Hale 58 Miss Pilcher After a diligent search in the Bible for the Book of Daniel "Louise, where is Daniel?"

All aboard for old LaGrange!" 79 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.

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.

Grand pianos playing 'round the door, Teachers walking tip and down the floor.

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." 80 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. B. McKown N. Maxwell 81 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. 83 "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.
