School Days

Morey Hall

DSYCHOLOGY asks, “Is the worm a social being 1 We don't know whether it is or not, but this we do know the girls at Morey Hall are social beings. Very few evenings during the year have passed without a “spread" or tasty luncheon on the floor of some room. Occasionally the girls have met in the kitchen to pop corn or make candy; and such delicious candy as they can make! At other times they have gathered in the spacious living-room to read or sew.

In order that all might participate in the social activities of the Hall it was decided that each corridor take its turn in providing entertainment for the other girls.

The first corridor, a little shy and timid at the thought of appearing in public, asked Miss Richards to read the story of “Hans and Gretel" while they performed behind a curtain. Their shadows, however, told the story so well that everyone was delighted.

This so encouraged the middle corridor that they decided to come out boldly and present an original playlet, “The Mystery of the Queen's Lace Handkerchief. 1 he Queen of Roumania, who is falsely accused of stealing a lace handkerchief, flees to America, and chooses Winona as a quiet, little spot in which to hide. A group of Morey Hall girls ,with their chaperon, are at luncheon at the Winona Hotel, when the queen arrives. Here she is found by her pursuers, who attempt to arrest her, but Herlock Sholmes, disguised as a waiter, scents the plot, exposes the villain, and with the help of Pat, the policeman, arrests the conspirators. The parts were ably taken by all the girls, and the costuming and scenery cleverly carried out the idea of the play.

I his performance demandedthe best efforts of West Lodge, whose turn came next, and they gave a unique entertainment on Washington's Birthday which quite eclipsed all former efforts. Strange to say, however, the other corridors have not been heard from. We suppose the increasing pressure of school duties is sufficient excuse, but we are wondering if stage fright is not present somewhere.

West Lodge

Scene Observation car to the Range.

Time September, 1915.

Characters Former Lodge girls.

“Why hello, if here isn't Ruthie!”

“Well, Flora! I'm glad to see you. Are you still teaching on the Range 1

“Yes, but don't you wish you were going back to the Lodge 1

“Very often! Do you remember the night we got together for the first time and started our good fellowship in the living room, which was the scene of so many pleasant hours?"

“The most fun we had, though, was giving our Colonial Party for our Morey Hall friends. As I was looking in my memory book the other day, 1 read the pro-

gram, and the event that stands out clearest in my mind is that darky quartette singing,

‘Down in de cawn-field, Hea' dat mou'nful sound.'

‘‘That was good, but the ‘Lodge Cabin' entertainment afterwards, by George Washington s slaves, with the gossip, music and jokes, was the thing of the evening for me. The negroes were not a bit bashful in telling about the prospective teacher meeting her model-boy on the bridge.

“No, but Ruby was ‘pretty miffed' about that, to announce it so in public. Wasn't it good when Minerva told about Carmen being raised on a crazy-quilt? And didn't the minstrel show have a clever ending when Flops' finished the evening by reminding us of beans and, 'Hash for your breakfast, hash for your lunch, hash at supper time; Hash! Hash! Hash! Hash! Hash! rain or shine!

We never have ham, chicken or lamb, strange as it seems; The Hall I admire, but I do tire of Hash! Hash! Hash!

“Well, here's my station.”

“Good-bye.”

“Say 'hello' to the girls.”

The Summer School Picnic

©OTH students and faculty were disappointed when President Maxwell announced that it was impossible to get a steamboat and that the Summer School must forego the pleasure of the customary boat ride on the Mississippi River. There was a little brightening, however, when he proposed a picnic across the lake.

Whether the calendar said or did not say "June," it was a genuine Lowell June day. The baskets were well packed and the "little cares that fretted" were laid aside with our books, and we, in our big sun hats, were ready for an afternoon out of doors.

I he picnic grounds at Bluffside Park were ideal. Before us was the quiet lake, while looming above us were the dark bluffs, with their covering of white birches.

Swings had been provided for the children, who also gathered flowers, explored caves, and later took part in the races. The cracker contest was of the greatest interest, the speed at which the boys were able to devour those crackers causing mothers to count over to themselves the number of sandwiches they had packed in their lunch baskets. The men of the faculty had a baseball game with the Normal boys and strange to say, the Normal boys were defeated, by a score of nine to seven.

Floyd Perkins, as master of ceremonies, soon announced a program by the faculty, and those who did not know of their entertaining ability were very much surprised. A debate, "Resolved, that the work of the Normal School is more effective than that of the High School," was decided in favor of the Normal after several rounds by President Maxwell and Mr. Voorhees. They do not advise the use of the fists in settling all arguments, but we who saw their method can vouch for its effectiveness. Dr. Ruggles won applause rather easily when called upon for an impromptu speech. Fie asked his son to take his place and the child rendered "Jack Horner," in a dramatic way using his plump little thumb to make it clearer. Miss Gildemeister, as drum-major, was the master-comedian. "1 am dying, Kate, 1 am dying my mustache," was sung with much feeling by Mr. Holzinger.

At supper, which followed the program, those girls who had thought their landladies could not cook, positively beamed and declared their supper tasted "simply swell." The faculty, with their ability to build on whatever is given them, had saved the lemons received during the year, and made delicious lemonade.

As the afternoon drew' to a close everyone from Dr. Ruggles’ four-year-old son to our President, declared that the Summer School picnic had been a success.

The Senior Hallowe’en

ON the night of November first a tall Senior enteredthe Main Building, as per request, and unconcernedly groped his way through the dimlylighted hall. "Might have decent lights," he growled, when suddenly his hair rose as a ghastly figure screeched at him to go down stairs. He obeyed with more haste than dignity and started hurriedly through the tunnel, but at the first step a fiendish face was thrust near his own, and the Ruler of Wherewe-never-hope-to-go glared belligerently at the cringing Senior. Gasping from fear and with chattering teeth he scrambled by, praying for deliverance.

In desperation he plunged into the blackness of the subterranean passage when horrors! His feet encountered a soft, sickening Something, and the air was filled with chilling groans. With terrified determination he lunged forward only to have another soft body flop against his head. Unable to find and grapple with his illusive tormentor he stumbled on, and after pulling himself over a hill which seemed to reach from Down Yonder to Up Thither, he fell against the gym door. Weak with horror he entered the room hoping to find a place of refuge, but he was unprepared for the sights and sounds which assailed him and madly rushed to a remote corner where he huddled with friends as far as possible from the unchanging, bodiless heads with glaring eyes and fiery breath, which haunted the shadows of immense shocks of corn.

Presently weird chords from a phantom piano were heard and the moaning spectres dragged their unwilling guests through the bewildering figures of a grand march, and as the uncanny music grew louder and more hilarious they circled in a mad dance about thedetached head of an unknown monster, this head being lighted within by some infernal spark, an ominous, yellow glimmer coming with a hazy glow through the grotesque face.

The shades growled and hissed, and gnawed their fingers in jealousy as they watched the trembling creatures of thisworld partake of the stimulants which had been provided. But the spooks were ignored by their earthly companions who were bolstering their spirits by an unnecessarily large consumption of the tempting viands.

In a short time some of the guests became more daring and laughed loudly at the horrible moans and shrieks of the spectres. But laughter, moaning and shrieking suddenly ceased when one of the brazen mortals began the narration of a ghastly tale in that dark, fiend-haunted place. Even the shades trembled in terror, and at theconclusionof the story the moans and shrieks of the spectres were mingled with the groans and howls of the mortals who fearfully clung to each other as they shook themselves from the room, leaving it to the pumpkins and corn shocks, and to the moaning, groaning, howling and shrieking spectres.

A Day in the Open

ON the morning of May fifteenth we arose early and looked at the cloudy, threatening sky, all the while gloomily debating the question of our intended excursion to Dakota Park; but finally the discussion was happily ended by the appearance of the flag, flying at top-mast over the Normal building, which meant that the trip would be made in defiance of the weather.

Immediately each of us rushed to do three or four things at once and still watch the antics of John, the janitor, who was staggering heroically under a burden of eatables provided for the Hall girls by Mrs. Beede.

After being duly identified at the levee, we braved the perilous ascent of the slippery gang-plank and sank with grateful sighs upon friendly benches, but by the time the boat cast off we were again very much alive. As the morning slipped by we felt the absence of that portion of our breakfast which in our haste we had missed, and we became so hungry that certain women, who had anticipated this sad condition, had no trouble in exchanging their w'ares for our nickles and dimes.

After an unusually short two hours we landed at Dakota Park where we w^ere grouped into classes which took up various phases of nature study for the remainder of the morning. In the meantime the Domestic Science classes made a practical application of their art, and as a result we were greeted by the pleasant odor of coffee when we straggled back to the Park. Congenial little groups soon spread out their lunches and presently "Eat, drink and be merry” was the orderof the day.

Luncheon was followed by field-games which were suddenly ended by the longexpected rain. However, we continued our picnic on board the boat and barge which soon were under way, struggling against the current and high wind of the homeward trip. Although we shivered from the moisture which the wind drove across the open decks, we sang and played games all the way home, just as though the sun had not shamefully deserted us, and at about seven o'clock w 7 e arrived at the levee, a tired and bedraggled, but withal, a happy party.

The Junior Party

As Told by a Junior

XN the city of Winona there is a Normal School, and in that Normal School there was during the year 1913, a most brilliant Junior class. Now this class, in its own unique and original way, conceived the idea of having a “Tiny Tot's Party," so on the momentous evening, all the Juniors, in the array of primary undergraduates, gathered in the gym for a festive hour. Everybody was there, from a squalling infant in long clothes, to Mr. Bening in dress-suit, and “Nurse" Samson, the last to arrive, was greeted with most vociferous shouts of joy as she appeared in true patronizing style upon the balcony to review her multitude of little charges.

Now it chanced that the social function was so exclusive that no outsiders were bidden to attend not even the Seniors whereupon certain of the vengeful Seniors did seize upon and carry off into seclusion an enormous freezer of ice cream. The freezer of ice cream was “enormous" because the hearts of the Juniors were generous to-wit there were more freezers. Here, let me state, that toward the latter part of the evening, the President of the Junior class received an unsigned missive from the Seniors, stating that the kidnapped ice cream could be found in some ventilating room. But the heads of the Juniors were not so airy as any ventilating room, so no rescue party was formed.

But to return to the evening of revelry. All the little ones present were given five cardboard pennies with which to buy ice cream cones, candy and cookies. And their clever minds were busy too for someone suggested a grand march, in which all the dainty little children in their abbreviated frocks passed up and down the dark corridors of the school and back into the gym.

Upon their return some were induced by bribes of more candy, to recite little verses for the nurse. The program was most entertaining and instructive? And still the cunning little dears munched gooey ice cream cones and contested with many shrieks and howls over sticks of candy, while the floor was fairly carpeted with broken bits thrown aside by the careless children.

During the course of the evening a wild desire to dance was prevalent in that juvenile assemblage, but the nurse was forced to limit all such hilarity to a stately folk-dance or Virginia Reel. Then, horror incarnate! Some one divorced the electric connection affording light upon that scene of revelry, and in the twenty minutes of Stygian darkness which followed, the piano in some way was kept in a tuneful mood, and the little tots danc— but I promised not to tell! Yet more terrible! During those same twenty minutes the owl-eyed Seniors, the unbidden guests, entered and helped themselves to the bountiful supply of viands spread for the internal delight of the Juniors, who, by the way, had paid for all that feast.

After the Seniors had seized upon and carried away certain pails of candy and cookies, they forgot to bring them back. In fact, as a freezer of ice cream had disappeared, so vanished the candy and Christmas tree cakes.

For a week afterward any mouse in the basement of the aforementioned Normal School in Winona, might have beheld certain of the Junior class rushing wildly up and down the basement corridor during intermission, in a vain endeavor to secrete some candy andcookies which had been rescued from marauding bands of Seniors. At last secret word was sent out and a clandestine meeting of Juniors was held outside the gym during intermission one morning, at which time the remaining dainties of the Junior Kid Party refreshments, were consumed just in time to escape ravaging clutches of last year's verdant Juniors.

The Junior Party

As Told by a Senior

ONCE upon a time in late October the Juniors decided to have a Kid Party in the gym. Such an idea! And such a party as it proved to be! Their infant attire surely was cunning. “Billy," being the only boy brave enough to make his appearance, was quite popular, this probably being due to his costume, for he wore a little straw hat, blouse of the good old country type, and a pair of overalls three sizes too small, into which he surely must have been poured. A small slate, old with use, hung coquettishly from a string attached to his blouse. The maidens were quite transformed and the nurse was stunning.

As soon as all had arrived, the refreshment committee “got busy’ for they were to have elaborate “eats" at this, their first social event. But woe! mad cries and frantic racing to and fro ensued, and loud wails were wafted to the outside world. What had become of those buckets of stick candy, and those boxes of delicious cookies?

Meanwhile the Seniors, much experienced from their numerous encounters with the class of 1912, were lurking in the shadows, waiting for opportunity to be of assistance to the Junior infants. Finding tempting boxes and large pails calmly reposing outside the gym door, they were ready to grasp the opportunity and incidentally the pails and boxes and concealed the plunder in the ventilating fan, safely away from the reach of little hands.

And here the cry: “Blucher is coming,” was cautiously whispered among the Seniors, for another group appeared upon the scene, just in time to meet Schuler’s men bringing two enormous freezers of ice cream, which they put in the place so fatal to the other sweets.

But one man judiciously guarded them while the other went in to interview the “kids. The Seniors tried to induce the man to carry the freezers to the side door, where the shadows were deeper. But he was wise beyond his years, and nothing would move him. When his partner returned they carried one mammoth freezer to the infants, inside.

Company 11 was ordered to the front on double-quick. They made one frantic dash for the unguarded freezer, and ran with it to the other side of the building, hiding it temporarily in the coal bin. A big man, wearing a suspicious looking star, was on duty at the Normal that evening, so they made a hasty retreat to avoid an encounter, expecting to return later for the spoils. The riddle remains unsolved to this day what became of the ice cream? But only the coal bin seems to know and it won't tell.

Joy unbounded! Company 111 appeared! These were the daring knights of the class of 1913; what could their plans be? They gracefully clambered through a window in a remote corner of the building, seldom visited except by night prowlers with a definite purpose in view, landed upon a pile of kindling wood and fell clattering to the floor, some six feet below. Frightened by this sudden fall in their expectations and alarmed by the sound of their own footsteps, they cautiously made their way through numerous dark corridors and stairways, falling over chairs and indescribable things, till they reached the attic. Now this attic is far above dear Mother Earth. But short people must get still farther up before they can reach and throw the switch which disconnects those flickering gems.

which we call electric lights. This particular small-bodied, big-brained Senior, stretching from the top of a shaky pile of books which were stacked on a treacherous old chair, hesitated, and nervously exclaimed to his partner, "I tell you, pard, this is a dirty trick! You know I’m going to graduate next week and I don’t want to lose out now!”

At this his iron-willed partner growled, “Get down out of that and let me do it.”

Promptly, in the festive gym, where a peaceful and jolly crowd of infants were playing the games of babyhood, all was darkness! The terrors of night so frightened the children that they instantly became ten years older but not dignified Normal students. The Seniors outside heard strange strains of rhythmic music. What were the infants doing? Surely the nurse was on duty. But no! she had “become as one of the least of these” and, “everybody was doing it.” But this period of supreme joy didn't last long for Mr. Streiff was on duty, and soon the gym was brilliant with light, and certain swinging, swaying strains of music abruptly ceased.

And what had happened to Company II in the meantime? Smitten by their guilty consciences they were bewailing the fact that the Junior children would be getting hungry, and though they cried desperately, no red and white candy would they be able to find, and no frosty, spongy cookies could they eat to make pains in their “sawdust.” Softened by these thoughts they summoned a messenger boy and sent a note to the Junior children. The note read, “You will find your eats in the fan; ask Mr. Streiff where that is.”

Now no one can deny the fact that those Seniors were the most sympathetic and generous individuals living. But the Juniors didn't think so. They growled, “Another joke!” and didn't look in that well-filled pantry in the ventilating room.

As the party drew' to a close a few of the Seniors thought it w'ould be fun to walk right in and help themselves to some ice cream. Were they sorry? Ask some of these noble knights of the Senior class what the speed limit is in Winona at midnight, and if anyone ever broke the record.

I he next day various rumors were abroad. One was that Mr. Maxw'ell had returned from his trip out-of-town. Another that the faculty thought it advisable to give these dear, innocent Junior children another party, where they would be undisturbed by ranting humanity in the shape of Seniors.

*S^^^HE purpose of this organization is to so unite the students in Christian felm ^ j lowship, that they may desire to lead a more spiritual life. We attempt to accomplish this through our Wednesday night prayer meetings. These meetings are very informal. We usually have some member of the faculty or one of the local ministers address us. Early in the year Miss Viola Marshall, of Minneapolis, visited us and later Miss Clara Fay lor, who was the guest of the Commercial Club, gave us a very helpful talk on “Social Service." The willing assistance of our musical friends has made many an evening more enjoyable.

We were represented at the Efamline Conference by Miss Edith Erwin. At this meeting our association was brought in contact with delegates from all ofthe student organizations in the Northwestern Territory. Miss Erwin returned very enthusiastic over the convention and with many helpful suggestions for the coming year.

HE musical events have been of unusual interest this year. Among those not given by the school may be mentioned the gala evening of the season, namely, the appearance of Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink at the opera house. The great artist was at her best and each number seemed to be the finest on the program.

The musical number of the Lecture Course was greatly appreciated by the students and their friends. Mme. Chilson-Ohrman, soprano; Marcus Kellarman,

baritone; and Wm. Alexis Parsons, pianist, gave an excellent program, consisting of many good things in music which make the evening memorable.

I he choral numbers presented at the different school programs indicate a busy year at chorus practice. The year began with a study of Grand Opera. Several selections from "Lohengrin," including the "Swan Song," w'ere given by the school, after the story had been beautifully told by Miss Frances Smith.

Bruch's Choral Ballad, "Fair Ellen," was given by the Normal chorus on May

2. The soloists. Miss Maud Potter and Mr. A. C. Hodge, together with the chorus, gave a fine rendition of this w'ork which is intensely dramatic.

Among those w7 ho have helped to make the music of the Normal Chorus a suecess should be mentioned Miss GraceE. Charles who has assisted most ably as an accompanist in all the choral programs of the year; Miss Alice Munger, who gave an artistic rendition of Handel s aria, "He was despised;" Mr. A. C. Hodge, who has contributed in a large measure to the success of the musical events of the school; Mr. King R. MacDonald, who has taken the entire responsibility of leading the male section of the Chorus safely thru all the choral music of the year; and Miss Edna Kingsley and Miss Harriet Charles each rendered several well selected instrumental solos.

XF you had possessed a long ladder one that would reach from the ground to a secondstory window; if you had known where to find Mrs. Chorpenning’s flat; and if you had brought the ladder to that place on some second or fourth I hursday in the month, placed it firmly beneath the window, climbed stealthily up its wooden rungs and peeped into the room lo! a very strange sight would have met your eyes, for you would have beheld nine very wise and solemn creatures gathered about a table at whose head was seated a most tyrannical looking gentleman, the Mr. King R. Mac Donald, he being sole officer of the club and bearing the profound title, “The Despot.

The purpose of this organization was a study of the construction of poetry and prose. The greater part of the time has been devoted to the various forms of versification.

Each member has, in turn, led the meeting. After the leader's exposition came the discussion of the subject by the members, this being followed by a halfhour of practice work. Many very interesting and amusing verses were written during the half-hour period and they have been recorded in the club "Log-Book.' We here submit a morsel of its contents.

Ninety-Nine in the Shade

Ninety-nine, Darling mine, Ninety-nine in the shade!

I'm glad I'm lean. And somewhat green, And strong to call for aid!

Ninety-nine, Darling mine.

Ninety-nine in the shade!

Don't take your rat

From under your hat.

Or else your brains will fade!

Sonnet to Cusses

Oh naughty words like damn, and gosh, and gee, Oh wicked execrations, black and bad, Oh all ye implications of the mad. Oh all ye gosh-darn words containing “D I bid ye hence, oh cusses! Beat it! See 1 In lowest Hades may ye sweat, by Gad, And all the little divels help their dad To cremate you in blasted misery.

Woe is my tongue that ere you slipped therefrom, Cursed be my brain that you did therein dwell. Damned be my pen that it should us expose; Full rather had I in my sin repose; But now, ye fiends, I bid you go to tell Old Satan that I've just sworn off, by Gum.

W. F. B.

A Sonnet

A thought! A thought! My inkwell for a thought! For I must write a sonnet. Soar sweet muse, And then, descending, crammed with thoughts, infuse My empty mind, and stay till I have caught The mystic inspiration, and have taught The mind to follow and the pen to use Thy whispered theme; my soul will not refuse To open wide to all that thou hast brought.

Such rot! Where art thou, muse, who wouldst impel My pen? I do not need thee. Thou art fired!

Forever on Olympus shouldst thou dwell And air thy learning. Brains are not required To write a sonnet. Not in any line Can brains be found the ink and page are mine.

The Tri Sigma Literary Society

HE Tri Sigma Literary Society, organized in the spring of 1912, has carried out during the past year the work for which it was intended, namely, social and intellectual culture.

The social events have included a reunion picnic at Bluffside Park early in September, a Hallowe’en party for the members of the faculty on November second, a Hard-Times Party at the home of William Baker on February fourteenth and one initiation ceremony at the beginning of each term.

Besides the informal programs given at the regular meetings, the Society aims to give one open meeting each term. Two such programs have been given, one at Thanksgiving, the other, a Burns' program in February. The final open meeting of this term is planned for May third.

The Society pin has been chosen. We feel that it is a fitting symbol of the pleasure and profit derived from our Tri Sigma.

The Highland Fling

Misses Murphy, Sullivan, Lawrence, Olson and Rowles

S in former years, the principal activity in athletics has been basket-ball. Foot-ball died its annual death because of lack of material, while base-ball found its only adherents in the High School Department.

But what was lacking in these last two sports was not wanting in the first. In the High School, both the boys and the girls organized teams and began practice early in the year. The girls played the Juniors and defeated them by a score of 11 to 5. The boys played several games with the Normal Juniors and Seniors and defeated the latter in two closely contested games, resulting in scores of 20 to 22, and 18 to 20. This prepared them for their games with the Congregational Sunday School team in which the High School won the first by a score of 20 to 19 and lost the second by 25 to 18.

The two teams, the ‘‘Odds and Ends," and the ‘‘Flying Dutchmen,” were composed of players from all departments of the Normal School. The “Odds and Ends" won over the “Murphy” team by a score of 26 to 13, and challenged and defeated the “Flying Dutchmen." The latter played the Faculty team several times, and played and defeated the second High School team.

The Middy Team made its debut in 1911 into the athletic world of the Normal School by wiping the superior Seniors off the floor. In order to keep up their reputation it behooved them to beat the other teams this year. They were able to do it because their forwards, Helen Kemp and Edna Brugger, knew how to roll up the score; their guards, Helen Jeans and Katherine Sainsbury, knew how to do the “Stonewall Jackson act; and their centers, Marion Robb and Gladys Brugger, Here’s hoping the Middies will always be

were always able to hold their own. the Champions of the school!

Anybody here seen Kelly? Sure we have! But say, there isn't an Irish one among them! I wonder why they gave themselves that name. Green is their color, but they bear it cheerfully, just as if it fitted them personally, although it isn't half as appropriate as it might be.

The “Kelly victories were few and far between. But what of it? They enjoyed life, had parties, good times, and, best of all, splendid spirit. In playing with the High School team, they lost, and did it cheerfully. In playing with the “Odds and Ends, they lost and took it wonderfully. In playing with the “Middies,” they lost and took it naturally. In playing with the “Fast Faculty team, they won and did it easily. These “Faculty-Kelly" games took place on Saturday mornings and the scores were beyond keeping. Taking their career, all in all, the “Kelly's” had a mighty good time, whether they won or not.

Wenonah

®E would like to have you meet our friend “Wenonah." We are not obstreperously proud of her for she doesn't look nor sound much better than our other friends, and yet we are not ashamed of her for she has been raised just as well as we knew how.

You should not feel obliged to adopt the child, but if you need some one to keep the dust off your parlor table we are certain that "Wenonah" will be worth her "board and keep."

Seniors

HE High School students are launched; the Juniors are started; the members of the faculty are anchored; we, the Seniors, are leading in the race!

But Himmel! What do we amount to 1 After we have taught for two years we will be married; or, if we miss this, after we are dead two days we will be forgotten. In either case our hopes for fame and glory are buried with our individuality, and our best black suit.

I wonder if our geography really has taught us the size of the world; and from our physiology have we learned the size of the human body? Let us put these objects under a microscope. The world is rather large; and we are miserably insignificant creatures. Am I right 1 No 1 Kindly crawl under my microscope while 1 take your picture.

Most of us can say that the world was made before we were; and it could get along very nicely without us. But we couldn't do very much without the world. In return for this it is our duty and our life-privilege to donate ourselves, soul and body, to the world, and to do it cheerfully. This last, our cheerfulness, will be the measure of what we are worth.

A Toast

nERE'S to our diligent Chief who has so mercilessly, yet vigilantly, cracked the lash above our bended necks, but who has labored unceasingly and unfiinchingly thru long and weary midnight hours, with an earnest zeal to make this Annual a success.

The Staff.

High School Department

©HE members of the High School department still live, and have an occasional good time and affair of their own, mixed with many squabbles and disagreements, in spite of the fact that they are kept very busy under the present plan of four years work in three years' time.

We have a High School chorus under the direction of our principal, Mr. Hodge, which, although exhibiting no wonderful talent, has done exceedingly well, considering its few members. It has blossomed out quite gayly this third term with the additionof eight or ten boys’ voices, of which we were greatly in need. This course in music has been interesting to say the least, and has been varied by some good solos, instructive sketches on operas and their composers, and an occasional Friday morning "jaw," on strolling in the halls, the afternoon tete-a-tete in the Frances Elmer room, the gymnasium tea-party, and other "raps" on the "conduct of the undeveloped."

Our literary society, the Fortnightly Club, has also aided in breaking the monotony of the usual academic work. The programs have been good, our committees and officers have worked and the members have cooperated in their efforts to improve the work of the society. Naturally, we have had some disappointments; our High School paper could not have been called a dazzling success, and one or two of our programs were not so good as they might have been.

One meeting we especially remember. We had planned a perfect program one of the best of the year we thought in fact it was good enough to persuade our few boys to come out, and they, feeling timid among so many girls, invited at least half of the numerous male contingent of the Normal proper. The presence of these [54]

The Officers of the Fortnightly Club

august Olympians caused a healthy young panic among the performers one or two immediately developed headaches, some others dropped out, and those who still had work to domade a mad rush with pencils and notebooks for the library. The result was one of the poorest programs that we had during the year, and a severe loss of pride by some of our embryonic literary geniuses.

T his is only one incident, however, and remains prominent among the many good programs because it shows the extreme susceptibility to stage fright of even our most seasoned performers.

The social side of the High School has been in no danger of over-development. At one time we were seriously threatened with a party, but the danger was averted by the assistance of the Juniors, who established a prior claim to the gym. Miss Richards then took pity and kindly came to the rescue, by entertaining us at Morey Hall, one night soon after Hallowe’en. Some among our number with the tenacity of purpose worthy of the militant suffragettes, claim that we are going to give a party before the end of this term, but most of us are doubtful.

A hopeful fact is that the boys now are present in the High School in sufficient numbers to be discernible even to a casual observer, though they still enter and leave the room in "bunches' —evidently for self-protection.

Sketch of a Cooking Class in Three Scenes

Time—About 1:29 P. M.

Place—Cooking rooms

SCENE I.

As the scene opens, girls breathlessly enter the room, and hastily put on aprons.

Girls [sniffing expectantly], Wonder what we ll make to-day? Doesn't it smell good? 1 can almost taste it. [Tardy bell rings; class all attention.]

Miss B., Are all present? Then we will proceed to concoct a luscious dessert. (To Grace S.) No apron? That's not unusual though, in a class of this kind. It's really not necessary. [Proceeds to give directions.] Ruth K., you may light the gas oven, we may need it. Waste the gas? Oh, no! we don't care for expenses. Edith R., you may put these prunes on to cook.

[A few minutes, later.]

Edythe M., What became of that prune juice, and where’s the cream?

Vesta D. [looking suspiciously at Myrtle A.], Someone was hungry and drank it.

Myrtle A. [in her kindly way]. You needn't look at me. I'm not starved. But Marcia P. didn't have any supper last night, and missed breakfast this morning.

[During the excitement Julia B. goes to the garbage can unobserved, looks about anxiously, and throws in lump after lump of gummy cake ]

Edith R. [excitedly], Marcia, just look at that water! It's almost burned up.

SCENE II. The Laboratory.

[A smothered scream is heard. Several girls rush out.]

Vesta D. [opening a large cupboard from which the sound comes; releasing Gertrude B ], Why, who locked you in? Ruth did? How shocking!

Julia B. [calling attention to another part of the room]. See that brazen fly on the window.

Few Girls [in chorus], Twas the last fly of summer, left buzzing about; All her lovely companions had gone up the spout.

SCENE 111.

[Some of the class flock back into the kitchen.]

Edythe M., That chemistry class has taken half our supplies. They are trying to prove that we use alum baking powders.

[In the meantime Gertrude B. has been leaning out of the window, waving at people below ]

Miss B. [smiling]. Girls will be girls.

[The closing bell rings; smoke from hot frying-pans suddenly clears away; aprons are doubled up and flung into desks; dishes cease to rattle.]

Miss B., You had a splendid lesson. To-morrow we will visit the Gas Plant.

Suffragist Meeting

'Wi^^‘0 the sound of curtain-rod-fife and cookie-can-drum, and the words

■ j “Suffragette, Suffragette, Put the men in the kitchenette!"

the Suffragist Parade came marching into the Living Room of Morey Hall on the afternoon of November twenty-third. Banners, bearing the words “Woman Suffrage," “Votes for Women.” etc., and flags of yellow and white, were much in evidence, while the “Antis" were well supplied with signs, which stood out above the banners of their opponents in glaring letters.

The “Militants" were dressed very becomingly in bloomers and short suit jackets with hats to match. Each delegate wore a band of yellow bearing the inscription, “Equal Rights," or “Political Equality," or some such phrase written in large black letters diagonally across the band.

The West Lodge Band then made its appearance and favored the audience with many beautiful selections. This Band, made up of ten pieces, was under the leadership of Miss Flora Edwards, and showed what beautiful melodies may be brought forth from combs, cans, sticks, and curtain-rods, when the right persons are back of them. Hours of hard practice certainly were shown in the music which they produced.

Many speeches were made by those in favor of the Suffrage movement; but each time their worthy opponents, “the Antis," were asked to defend themselves, they held up such signs as, “We think our thots, “Silence," “The Home is the Place for the Mother, and numerous others.

Miss Lucinda Goltz was elected temporary chairman, and later Mrs. Wier was elected President, Miss Ross Secretary, and Miss Florence Hilliard Treasurer.

After this brief business meeting the West Lodge Band again was prevailed upon to render a few more selections which they did to the satisfaction of all present.

Politics may be all right for discussion—-but it is not good for the digestion, so the meeting adjourned to give the supper bell a chance to ring.

The Junior Class

v JUNIORS; younger than Seniors; not so old in service. Ah, yes! hut just as 1 capable in mental capacity.

Although we have two hundred or more within our ranks, you would hardly suspect there is a Junior class for we are as quiet, reserved, studious and hard working a body as could ever be found. “Silence is Golden." That accounts for the apparent insignificance of the Junior class.

But next year when we, who this year have been continually seated in the background, burst forth with all the fervent ardor and ambition that becomes the name of Seniors, the world will suddenly stop, and, with open eyes, exclaim— “Look! See! I he brilliant butterfly has burst from its cocoon."

Lucinda Goltz.

The Kindergarten

efARLY last September, the Senior Kindergartners gave their annual picnic at Bluffside Park to welcome the Juniors into their department. After dinner much fun was afforded by the Juniors who submitted very graciously to the formal initiation “stunts." The old saying, “We make friends but to lose them," was soon illustrated in the department, for within a few weeks, some of the Juniors were afflicted with the common kindergarten disease, nostalgia, and so were compelled to discontinue the preparation for their chosen profession. Alas, for those poor Juniors! We, as Seniors, desire to show pity to whom pity is due.

Another interesting social event was the Hallowe'en party given by the Junior Kindergartners in the gymnasium where ghosts, witches and black cats were in evidence everywhere. The free dispensation of fortunes by a weird, old witch caused much merriment.

The musical ability of the present Junior Class has been greatly appreciated. In November they gave a musical program from such masters as Chopin. Rachmanioff, Hood and Wells.

There have been Mothers' Meetings at intervals throughout the year as well as other gatherings and teas for parents and teachers.

Wenonah

To thee, O fairest city of the fair

Thou garden of the gods

O nature's crown

Of loveliness to thee, whose beauty vies

With every lovely gem of nature, we In homage, pay our lovely tribute song.

O city! thou dost lie, a strand of gold

Embraced between two silver water-ways

Which, like old warders worn from days and nights

Of watchfulness, have stretched at length and slept

In peaceful dreams too sweet to wake again

Tho these may sleep, the great and silent hills, In stately height, watch o'er thee. They observe

Thy fairy grandeur in the spring unfold

In richer tints of summer's leafy garb. The burning bursts of gorgeous hues the warm

Autumnal glow the hush of winter snows

That robe thee like a bride; all this they mark

In silence. Song and story ne’er could tell

The secrets that they keep. They knew thee when

The wigwam poured its curling smoke, in clouds

Of lazy haze low hanging o'er the plain; When birch canoe cut lightly thru the wave; And when the gentle, plashing paddle dipped

The reedy lakebeneath a limpid moon

Which threw across the black and sullen depths A silver path of light.

Once, long ago, Far up the river-valley, in a place

They called Keoxa, dwelt a tribe, the brave Dahcotahs, led by chieftain, Wapashaw

The bravest of the brave. His daughter fair Most beautiful of all the maids, and called Wenonah loved an English huntsman, tall And strong, who longed to wed the Indian maid. The chief forbade the marriage, hence, ’tis said, That while the tribe were feasting on the plain.

And when the dance and chant were well begun, Wenonah scaled a lofty cliff, o’er shrub

And stone, where hung a jutting rock above The river’s rushing wave. And lo! she paused Upon the topmost peak at airy heightHer beaded garment waving in the wind Her face turned west as tho to catch the glow Now paling fast, in last farewell then leaped, And sank beneath the angry river tide, Into the hidden mists.

Thou bear’st her name In memory, O City Beautiful!

Farewell, Wenonah! Since the flight of Time Decrees it, we must leave thee now. We go To seek a larger world the gifts that wait Our coming, and the tasks we must perform.

Farewell! We leave thy presence. Fare thee well!

Irma M. Whomes.

A man is a curious creature; A mixture of heaven and hell; If hell is the dominant feature He settles with God in a cell; But whatever his act, and no matter his past. The men of his kind are his friends to the last.

The man who has heaven and lives it In spite of his portion of hell

Whose Love is the world, and he gives it His life, and his substance as well Has a friend at his elbow wherever he goes; The wind brings him others however it blows.

But some can do nothing but struggle; The forces of heaven and hell

Are the same we are fools and must juggl Till death with the heaven and hell; And where is the friend when a man is a fool

When this is the life he unwinds from his spool?

Shadow Philosophy

ONE night not long ago, the shades of the Immortals adorning the walls of the Normal School, descended from their lofty pedestals and made their way to the Frances Elmer Room whither Shakespeare had summoned them. The hour was late, and knowing the importance of the work which was before them, they, after brief greetings, quietly gathered around the table, whereupon Shakespeare asked Abraham Lincoln, the secretary, to callthe roll and said, “You who are present may answer with familiar quotations."

“Father Phelps" “Now please get out your music."

“John Milton" “You may give the gist of chapter six."

“Horace Mann" “Can't you give us your picture of that 1

“William Shakespeare" “Absolutely.”

"Abraham Lincoln" “Now can't you be more spee-cific?"

“Benjamin Franklin “Don't come to class without your pencils properly sharpened."

“Judge Waterman" “You are excused for the second-hour class."

“And now," said Shakespeare, “we will hear the minutes of our last meeting.”

Lincoln read, “Fourscore and seven weeks ago, we assembled in this room to decide whether the authority back of this institution rests upon the Resident Director, the Legislature, the President, the Board of Trustees, or the tax-payers; we concluded that the government of the President, by the President, and for the President shall not perish from the Normal School.

Shakespeare then remarked, "Before we proceed to the work of the evening, I think it would be well for John Milton to read a selection," and Milton responded;

“Blessed are the poor in purse; for theirs is not the Colonial, nor Kratz’s.

Blessed are they that 'rag it'; for they shall be ejected.

Blessed are the meek; for they shall get in right with the high and mighty.

Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after hash; for they shall be filled.

Blessed are they that rant and tear when a superintendent is below; for they shall lose their 'reps.'

Blessed are they that flunk; for they may get a chance to try again.

Blessed are they that borrow and return; for they shall have little competition."

The room was quiet for a moment and then Father Phelps, in his soldierly way.

said, "I was president of this school during the Civil War, and of course I am well acquainted with those members of the present faculty who were here then. But who is the woman that I see every day who has the poise and bearing of a foreign queen, with every hair faultlessly arranged, and whose little shoes are the envy of the Parisian ladies? And who is the little dark woman with the well-modulated voice and who stands as if her chest were supported by a string fastened to the ceiling v

Judge Waterman answered, "Father Phelps, these models have only recently been added to the equipment of the school, and undoubtedly through association they soon will become more normal.

Here Lincoln slowly turned toward Benjamin Franklin and asked, "Has anything of interest occurred in the Assembly Room since our last meeting?"

branklin hesitated, then said, "Frequently during the year, I have heard students and even members of the faculty discuss the subject of political equality."

Shakespeare interrupted, "In my day women were content to devote their time to the homely arts of spinning, weaving, and cooking. Methinks the women nowadays do engage in most strange and unusual tasks."

"Those are my sentiments," drolled Lincoln. “1 see them hour after hour dabbling in sticky clay; and this they call ‘the new education.

"1 can't see how that sort of training fits a woman to perform ‘justly, skillfully and magnanimously the duties of a home, remarked Milton.

"Since there is much business yet before the meeting, let us allow Benjamin to complete his report," said Shakespeare, and at this Franklin continued:

“The last year's Seniors at their faculty meeting suggested the installment of a psycho-sodo-mathematical-fountain, and the question was recently brought up again this time at Chapel. On this occasion, for some unknown reason, the President laid aside his recently acquired authority and asked the opinions of certain of the faculty for the physiological, pedagogical, and psychological effects of such a plan.

For the physiological effects, it was stated that usually it is considered disastrous to eat between meals but that since the present young people seem to be able to endure it, surely food of a light form can do no harm.

In spite of the fact that our psychologist stated that the straight road to clear thinking is an empty stomach, he agreed that an important experiment could be made and valuable statistics obtained.

The students heartily supported the idea, thinking that possibly the fourthhour class could be a little more comfortably endured if a lunch-counter were introduced at which Horlick s Malted Milk, cocoa, and bouillon would be served. Therefore, the psycho-sodo-mathematical-fountain was realized."

Here Lincoln, because of his sympathetic nature, called attention to Judge Waterman, who for some time had been rubbing his eyes, and proposed that the meeting be adjourned. Shakespeare, as he rose, exclaimed, "Well maybe after all you are right. Times and manners change, and we shades can only look on and speculate as to the outcome. I wish though that they would devote more time to the study of dramatic art." With this parting remark, all shook hands and faded away into the night, and once more silence reigned in the Normal School.

Fog

We paused upon the mountain-top at noon, Surprised, abashed at absence of the sun. And grass, and flowers, and beauty; for a swoon Of all things natural seemed to have begun. The distance died. A shifting veil was run Around our little portion of the wood. And in the charmed circle, one and one. The giant shapes a monstrous brotherhood Appeared to sway, and then to vanish where they stood.

J. L. S.

Birds of Passage at Winona

So seems this valley like the life we share When all the slopes are green, and every hill Is snowed with buds, and sweet with flowers which spill An ecstacy of fragrance everywhere. And are so innocent of grief they wear The tears the night has shed for jewels; still The birds wing north, and sing, like hopes which fill The heart of youth, of joys which wait them there.

But when the sumac wears its heart’s blood wrought To grace, and autumn's lyric sigh is strong And sweet among the trees, the birds, far brought. Wing silent southward, voiceless, like the long Mute memories which haunt the heart when years Have mixed the taste of joy with taste of tears.

THE WENONAH SNOOP

ALL ABOARD

A short time ago our Mr. Risinger consulted a gypsy fortune teller, but well, she predicted that Gerald was doomed to a life of single blessedness; he calls it a life of single cussedness. Only one alternative was given him. In a South Sea Island he may be able to find a bride, so Gerald is hurrying for the Philippines.

bean with a boulder w'hich rendered him insane.

The proceedings w'ere frequently interrupted by the violent sobs of the defendant’s wife who was overcome with grief.

The jury was instructed, and after due deliberation returned the verdict, "Guilty."

The convict is now working out a sentence of extra study under the scourge of some of the more ferocious of our faculty, while his grief-stricken wife, nee J. Robb, who testified bravely for him in the trial, patiently aw'aits his pardon.

RICHARD GOING CONVICTED OF MURDER!

A touching scene took place upon the afternoon of Friday, April eleventh, when Richard Going, a High School boy was brought to trial before the Fortnightly Literary Club, on the charge of murder in the first degree. It was alleged by "ear-witnesses” that in the small hours of the morning, about 2:30 A. M., he had assassinated our highly esteemed editor-in-chief. King R. MacDonald, w ho was working at his desk. Jealousy and revenge were given as the motives of the dastardly crime.

During the course of the trial it was proved by the flexible testimony of certain witnesses, that in his youth, Mr. Going had been bumped on the

On Wednesday evening, April 23, while Miss Helen Field had her friend, Alfred Livingston, out on the lake canoeing, they were suddenly immersed in the dark, cool waters as a result of Mr. Livingston’s amateurish attempt to guide the craft under the bridge.

Heroic Phoebe Saves Miss Field from a Damp, Watery Grave.

THE WENONAH SNOOP

As Helen was sinking slowly from sight amid despairing bubbles, stalwart Phoebe, who had fallen in conveniently near piling of the bridge, plunged desperately at the spot where she had disappeared. He returned triumphantly to the surface, frantically gripping a handful of Helen, while with his free hand he nobly clung to the piling of the bridge, retaining this heroic pose for twenty-seven and three-eighths minutes.

At last aid arrived from the boat livery and the water-soaked victims were towed to safety.

THOSE JUNIORS

Last fall our little friends, the Juniors, fell hopeless victims to the annual malady of class organization. They were sure that it was correct first to elect a president, but great was their consternation as to how this should be accomplished.

Now it happened that some clever Senior had evolved the brilliant idea of giving the verdant Juniors an object lesson in the practice of “Roberts Rules of Parliamentary Procedure."

To this end Miss Winters, a Senior, well supported by several classmates, was to conduct a Junior class meeting for the unsuspecting children and eventually have them elect a Senior for their president.

Promptly at 4:45 one afternoon the Junior class assembled as per notice, and Miss Winters with her colleagues mingled among them. Presently she called the meeting to order and opened nominations for president. As prearranged, a Senior arose and nominated Pearl Winters, another seconded the nomination, and others contrived to get the nominations closed. All the

Seniors present and most of the unenlightened Juniors voted for Miss Winters, not know ing her to be a wolf in sheep s clothing. Senior tellers were knowingly appointed to collect the votes, and this they did, being careful not to lose any of the many extra votes cast by the designing Seniors, the resuit being that Miss Winters was elected by a very suspicious majority. The meeting adjourned with great satisfaction to those who attended and also to those who had stood behind the half-closed doors and listened with amusement to the proceedings within. Thus happily ended the Juniors' first lesson in the application of Parliamentary Form.

The Seniors thought this too good a joke to “Hide under a bushel," so by the end of the following day, all the school knew about the Junior class meeting.

A second meeting was called by the now desperate Juniors. This time Seniors were specially invited, but so many accepted the invitation that the little hosts fled in fright, deferring the meeting to another day.

At the third attempt Miss Lucinda Goltz, a real Junior, was elected president and since that time she has been guiding them with an efficient hand, through the varied intricacies of Normal life to the point where they may, as Seniors next year, maternally direct the faltering footsteps of a new Junior class.

THE SENIORS, AS OTHERS SEE THEM

High School Students—The convolutions in our brains have not yet sufficiently deepened to permit therein fitting and impressive words to describe the lofty Seniors.

THE WENONAH SNOOP

Juniors—What do we think of the Seniors? Shall we tell the truth, or shall we conform to conventionality and sweeten our thoughts? Aye, there's the rub, whether ’tis nobler to expose our feelings in regard to their duplicity and meddlesomeness in the choice of our Junior president, or whether tis better to grin and bear it.

Janitors—Yes, dey is smart but den dey vant to be too smart even dey tink dey smarter den de janitors.

President Maxwell—They are ardent believers in the Initiative and Referendum, having an abundance of initiative and some referendum. Additional referendum is gladly furnished whenever they feel a "felt need and sometimes even though they don't A Critic Teachers—

Some are so young, some are so old. Many are timid, while many are bold; But give them a jolt before it’s too late And then as a rule, they'll strike a good gait.

Faculty—Star babies just leaving the milky way.

Possibilities seeking opportunity. Lost chords which may find the music to which they belong.

Nothings from which somethings may develop.

Meteors chasing comets of fame.

School Physician—Bundles of nerves with ever weakening phagocites, undoubtedly due to midnight spreads and "Kratz concoctions.

BEAUTY DEPARTMENT

Conducted by Mile. Marguerite Stark

Dear Miss Stark:—Where can I buy a complexion like W. Bening's?

Anxious Eloise.

At Kupperhauffer’s Drug Store in Fountain City. 25c per jar.

DearMiss Stark:—1 am greatly troubled by a large wart on my nose. How can I remove it? N. Aure.

It can be easily eradicated by a gentie application each evening of No. 2 sandpaper. On the third evening w hen the study-hour bells ring, dash wildly out the door despite all rules and regulations and around the block three times. Walk up the steps, close the door like a perfect lady and behold the wart will have disappeared.

My dear Miss Stark:—What is the present mode for coiffures?

Helen Johnson.

Mass your hair into a scrambled heap and hold it in with a net. It's very popular with Normal students.

Dear Marguerite:—The color is entirely leaving my cheeks. What shall 1 do?

Edith Williams. Use more of the "Bloom of Youth' cosmetic that I loaned you. If this does not seem satisfactory, borrow some pastelles from Miss Speckmans special drawing class and apply as thickly as possible.

Dear Mile. Stark:—My hair is a funny sick shade of red. How can 1 darken it?

L. M. Tracy.

I'm afraid it is hopeless. The best of applications w'ould leave it with streaks of aforesaid sickish red.

Dearest Marguerite:—I have vainly tried everything to remove freckles from my face andneck. What would you suggest?

G. Dahlhjelm.

A vigorous scouring with Old Dutch

Cleanser will work wonders. Since you live at Morey Hall perhaps this will be difficult for you to secure. Whiz may be used as a substitute with practically the same results.

Dearest Marguerite:—Is there such a thing as fatal beauty and how can I acquire it? W. Bening.

Better not try, Walter, you can't afford to lose what you now have.

Dear Miss Stark:—How can I best reduce my weight 50 pounds?

OUR FASHION FORECAST FOR SUMMER 1913

By the Direct Supervision of Miss Florence L. Richards

Immense, flimsy, flip-floppy, faded brown lace collars will be worn, loosely attached to horrible, wildly variegated mixtures of strangely beautiful rainbow hued opera cloaks, suitable for street wear.

All of my "gentle readers who fear sunburning this summer will gratefully thank Ruby Schaull for setting us the pleasing fashion of wearing gaily decked, overgrown clothes baskets for hats.

Shoes with heels over four inches high are no more in vogue for Phvsiography “hikes."

Jewelry this summer will be kept presentable in the following manner: Procure a bowl of warm water; some ivory soap; three or four turkish towels; a few packages of cigarette papers and some tooth brushes. With much patience proceed to cleanse your gem. This fashion has been successfully set by Gertrude Hanson.

Aigrettes will be worn when they can be borrowed or swiped.

I hardly know how the public will receive this hint, but Miss M. Quilty has found that a grey flannel shirtwaist is certainly good for unlimited wear. I might also add that a cerise tie and baby-blue belt would be quite striking.

Any young ladies having a Persian silk that they would like made over are advised to consult with Marie Crouch.

Let nothing but last year’s girdles go to waste.

Gowns made after absolutely original and eccentric patterns will be much in vogue this season as introduced by Miss Genevieve Abbott.

Miss Violet Klein has this season been successful in heading a Sandal Brigade. The style, I am sure will hold for the summer.

Something New! Mile. Richardson announces that princess dresses ten (10) yards around the bottom and ten (10) inches about the waist will be all the rage at Newport this season.

Much crockery, wire, bone and celluloid will be used in staking down individual strands and locks in a coiffure. For further particulars consult Miss Irma Whomes.

I wash herewith to inform Miss Hattie Bartlett that there is more than one way of doing up one’s hair.

THE WENONAH SNOOP

Very loud summer gowns this year will be made from very conspicuous purple and white check materials. Miss L. B. Shanewise has already made the fad popular at West Lodge.

Hall girls who reside upon the very apex of social life permanently cast aside much superfluous hair during Easter vacation.

In case any are planning on a black velvet gown this summer, let me advise that you may secure the pattern from Miss Orilee Hudson if you want the skirt to be bewitchingly short.

Dame Fashion, through her representative, Mile. Celia Murphy decrees that on cool evenings this summer flashy, sick-brown and faded orange plaid cloaks will be in vogue.

My dear Miss Henderson:—What is the correct time to go automobiling? i have been in the habit of going any old time. Laura Chatelain.

Yes, go, but be careful not to teach Grace Dahlhjelm bad habits; someone else may have a machine. R. H.

My dear Miss Henderson:—There is a young man here in town whom I love very much, who returns my sentiments, I am sure. Would you consider it improper for me to climb out the window to see him on study nights?

Ruth Kellett.

I am sure Miss Richards will agree with me that provided you are engaged to the person, your-course of action is very plausible, but don't upset the window boxes. R. H.

Dear Roxa:—I want your opinion upon a matter which troubles me greatly. A while ago Miss Kramers was the victim of a mad desire to capture a man, so she had one of the Seniors arrange a meeting between her and a town fellow at Kratz's one night after a play. All the friends and relatives were present at the hanging and standing-room was at a premium. Now, was it right for Ellen Crosgrove to tell Bud Baird that he was to be introduced to Florence Steichen’s classy cousin i1
