9TE'l5lUlS'HDD-THE-WDUIHU A xf E see many incidents, both humorous and tragic, in our N . . . . lisp X great institute of learning. But, intent upon that one ve object, namely, to obtain knowledge, we a1'e too preoccu- ,N5 pied to note them. For this reason, dear reader, I shall ' rehearse to you a most tragic incident which happened I not long ago in one of the classes of an excellent teacher -- whom I am about to mention. 1-..r fbi' u , In this class there are two eminent Caesar stars- E cousins-a boy and a girl, who have so enjoyed their as A1125 research in this ancient tongue, that they have at times repeated a part of the course solely for the love of it. One evening when said cousins were most prodigiously preparing a lesson in Latin composition, our heroine failed to understand the con- struction of a particular sentence. Our hero rescued our heroine from further exasperation by a most logical explanation. We know not whether it was the appealing appearance of the fair lady or merely the fact that our hero is subject to frequent fits of jocularity, that impelled him to exclaim, Woman, thou art most dense. Rememb'rest thou not that when the verb 'throw' is preceded by a subject and followed by an object and a prepositional phrase, the adjective 'poor' is placed before the object of the preposition when it is translated into the original tongue? Alas again! For with untold rapture she mistook the villain's words for the truth, We shall pass now to the class room where the teacher presides as monarchess over the select and brilliant assembly of subjects. She points out and designates with her eyes, as friend Cicero would say, our fair lady as the destined one. Our heroine reads, The men throw stones at the poor Romans. Horrified, the pedagogue proceeds to inquire whence comes the unwel- comed adjective. Our heroine, likewise horrified at the displeasing effect that said adjective has upon the instructor, without delay recites for her the villain's axiom. With a flashing of her beautiful eyes the preceptor turns upon the hero, demanding an immediate explanation. And I tell you truly, dear 1'eader, that worse perturbation than then ensued, never before existed within the walls of our dear Alma Mater. Here words fail me: for it requires more skill than I posseses to portray to you in living colors the conclusion of this dire tragedy. -KATHRYN BOWLBY, '23. Uneasy lies the liner writer's head, As through the night he's greatly bored To find the proper adjective to lend Importance to the senior horde.

,FWD-DF-DREFUTS HEN the glowing haze of night Hangs from east to West, And the gentle breeze of ev'n, Wafts sweet tho'ts of restg Then the dross of earthly life, Shines and glows and gleamsg Then every man 'mong high and low, ' Is King, in Land of Dreams. s When the orb of golden splendor, ' Dips yon rugged hills, Bathing all in fiery wonder, Gilding faults and ills, Then from out the human heart Goodness nobly beamsg Then every man of every shore, Rules King, in Land of Dreams. And when at last, the heav'nly deep, In darkness hides in black arrayed, Then the tho'ts of men and women, Pass in grand parade: And in this realm of glory bright, . Their hopes revive, it seems, And every man of every clime, Reigns King in Land of Dreams. -ALEXANDER DOWLING, '21.

. Q? o c TH ' EVULLlTl D'UF'PU F , I HO remembers those first puffs-little narrow rolls cover- at them, especially at the method of their construction, but others persisted in wearing them, until we all suc- A cumbed to the epidemic fthat is, all but a strong-minded, ' g c sensible few, with the courage of their convictionsj. With l the increasing popularity of this fad, new possibilities 4 I were realized in the arrangement of the side hair. At first, mere largeness of size satisfied our desire for the bizarre. V X X But gradually new styles developed, divers fantastical I touches were added. Some fashioned wings over the earsg others, round balls: still others, drooping ones. With the advent of the hair net and the marcelle-wave, nothing seems impossible in the coiffure. Cfnn ing the upper half of the ear '? Most of us were shocked l Seriously, the late modes have been a boon to girls with scanty locks and to girls with over-abundance of hair. Now, since the imitation-bob has been worn for four years and accepted as the prevailing style, the van- guards of fashion, desiring the unusual, are appearing with the ears uncovered, so I venture to predict that before many moons have passed, we will have seen the last ot' puffs. -GRACE TA YLOR.
