LL.D., Kk Dedication to Miss Hood and Miss Heron Adown the vista of the dear past days Come thronging: memories, all tender-eyed. Of grey walls all shrined in sunny slopes, and filled With echoes of gay laughter and of song Of days of earnest toil and twilight hours.

SNOWBOUND AT BELMONT. Belmont Sno-wbound MALLIE GAINES WILSON. HE Snow King sate in his ancient hold — A palace of hailstones, shining, cold — ' Round him his warriors, stern, severe. And armed each with an icy spear; They sate and planned. Anon their lord Called for his messenger. At his word A mighty lord came bustling in, The North wind he, sans kith and kin. He will crackle, and whistle, and storm and squall. Or will soothe and caress, and over all His beautiful snow send silently down. Till every villa and farm and town Be adorned in a robe of matchless white; The streams will stop to own his might. And obeisance make; and even the day Will diminish its train and hide away. The Snow King spoke (his voice was deep And hollow like the downward leap. Or the frozen fall of a river, great) : Our pleasure is to invade the State So long exempt from our stormy rule. So far removed that she feels not full The sway of the power that owns her; we Must claim from the sunshine, Tennessee. Go, good wind! the Snow King said; The North wind went, and his great head Was whirling with messages out of the North, Which he soon would scatter abroad in the South; And the Snow King chuckled aloud as he thought Of the many changes that would be wrought In the land of the South, and mostly the jaunt He had planned for a fair place called Belmont. Go thou, in all thy furious haste. Sweep from the land each ugly waste, Each leaf and twig that lingers yet To tell of summer ' s growth ; and let Thy roaring voice speak loudly forth, And say or sigh that from the North The Snow King comes in all his might. Armed with sleet and icy night. ' Twas after all the light and warmth and joy Of Belmont ' s happy Recreation Night. The girls had danced the last to Home, Sweet Home, And now they slept and dreamed till morning hsht. And when the morning came ' twas still and grey, And not a bird was stirrin g in the trees, And not a yellow leaf of autumn ' s store Hung and fluttered in a morning breeze. For while they ' d slept and dreamed their dreams of joy The wild North wind had tamed him for the fight, And creeping down in sighing fashion, sly, Had robbed them of their summer memoirs light. With howling, screaming, whistling then he ' d blown Till warmth crept out and fled in dire dismay; And lowering snow clouds filled the morning sky, And mingled with the hills, so dim and grey. Ere long the great white flakes began to float Thro ' all the air. Not softer is the fall Of apple blossoms in the early spring — As silent as the swaying of a poplar tall. But now with greater speed and more intent, Fighting and dancing with each other down Thicker and faster to the earth they went, Like armies of gay fairies rushing round. And when again the day had followed night, A wondrous change had come o ' er every place. And everyTvhere a filmy, feathery white Was clinging, swinging, or heaped up in space. The boxes, large and cumbersome and dark. Were burdened round with heavy patches white, Which dared a contrast with the bold, dull green, Striving to rise up and assert its might. And all the little twigs on the bare trees (Which lately had stood out ' gainst sunset sky) Now gleamed and glittered in the gayest array. The daintiest lace-work that e ' er met the eye. All, save the mighty pines, which bowed their strength In calm submission to their native lord, The round magnolias, too, did bend them low, But more in wonder than in dread of monarch ' s word. Belmont itself, the gay, the grand, the good. Was bound indeed in airy fetters white, And every haunt the happy girls had loved Was changed now, heaped up with jewels bright. The carpet of the lawn, once green and gay, Was sprinkled with a thousand diamonds o ' er, A heap of snow crowned every summer house. Center pavilion, lab. and gym. and tower. The statues stood new decked in garments pure ; The Please-keep-off-this-Path -es hid their face, And stood, half covered, here and there amidst The snow that pathless lay, a glittering waste. For wheresoe ' er the eye was cast was beauty. From hill to hill, from cottage and from tower, And every heart was glad and gay and merry, Despite the cold, despite the Snow King ' s power And the Snow King sate in his ancient hold — The palace of hailstones, shining and cold — Around him his warriors, stem, severe; But each had left his icicle spear Dangling low in the land of the South, From many a roof of many a house; They sate and talked ; each told his tale Of merry work with sleet or hail. But after the many tales were told, Of boisterous lands o ' ercome with cold. And the King had approved their exploits fine With many a flagon of royal wine, He chuckled aloud, as he raised this toast: Good for the works of which ye boast; But here ' s to the South, and mostly the jaunt That we planned and carried at fair Belmont!

ARLYLE has very wisely said that a collection of books is a real university. Indeed, it is a fact that books are the reser ' oir of inexhaustible wisdom. It is probably super- fluous for me to give Belmont girls advice on this subject, but as our school-days will soon be over, and we will then be occupied with society ' and affairs d ' amour, resulting in our becoming queens of a kingdom called Home, it certainly cannot be amiss to offer some suggestions on reading. An old philosopher has said: The firefly only shines when on the wing. So it is with the mind. When once we cease cultivating the mind, to which the fountains of knowledge are opened, we wiU deteriorate. Therefore education must not cease when we leave college walls, so it would be advisable for us to pursue a systematic course of reading. What incalculable comfort and pleasure there is in a well-selected library. Macaulay, who had wealth and fame, position and talents, often said he derived his greatest happiness from his books. How fortunate that we live in the present century, when books are inexpensive and accessible. Our ancestors experienced the greatest diffictilt} ' in obtaining books, and a hundred years ago many of the most charming productions — Scott, Thackeray, Dickens, and Bulwer Lytton — were unwritten, not to mention the delightful productions of the present living authors. There is absolutely no limit to the opportunities of the present day, and let ' s not be forced to admit, with Sir Henry Taylor, in after years, that the retrospect of life swarms with lost oppor- tunities. We should grasp every opportunity now that we are standing face to face with the grim realities of life. Richard de Bury, bishop of Durham, author of Philobiblon, the earliest English treaty on the delights of literature, says: Books are masters who instruct us without rods and without anger. If we approach them they are not asleep; if investigating we interrogate them, they conceal nothing; if we mistake them, they never grumble; if we display ignorance, they never laugh. Indeed, books are charming friends. They dispel cares and produce the most delightful exhilaration. They are companionable in solitude, in happiness, in sorrow, and in sickness. They open up to us the various avenues of all the arts and sciences, and we can confidently rely upon such information, for in choice literature we have the richest thoughts of the most brilliant men. We can easily find entertainment for our variable moods, if we do not wish to confine ourselves to a systematic course of reading. If we would be soothed by charming verse and fairly intoxicated by the delightful rhythm of the serious poets, we have but to read the works of Longfellow, Tennyson, Whittier, Byron, Milton, Burns, or J. Whitcomb Riley. If we would be thrilled with oratory or inspired with patriotic eloquence, we should consult Wesley, Luther, Parker or Calvin; or if we would investigate the theories of more liberal religious thought we should turn to Voltaire. We may travel around the world with Kingsley or Ruskin, Herschel and Humboldt accompanying us on a trip to the mysterious nebulae beyond the sun and even the stars. The geologists will carry us back a million of years before the creation of humanity, even to the origin of this vast universe. After the disastro us defeat of the Athenians before Syracuse, Plutarch tells us that the Sicilians spared those who could repeat any of the poetry of Euripides. There is no possibility that any of us will owe our lives to poetry, yet we owe it a debt. How often, when tired out physically and mentally we take down Milton, Homer, Horace, Shakespeare or Pilgrim ' s Progress and feel a sense of rest and repose. John Quincy Adams, when closing his final lecture on resigning his chair at Boston, said: In your strug- gles with the world, should a crisis occur when even friendship may deem it prudent to desert you — when priest and Levite shall come and look on you and pass by on the other side — seek refuge, and be assured you will find it in the friendship of Laelina and Scipio; in the patriotism of Cicero, Demosthenes and Burke, as well as in the precepts and example of Him whose law is love and who taught us to remember injuries only to forgive them. In conclusion, memento mori. May our years be many, and may the world be the better for our living in it, and may we, when the lamp of life is extinguished, be prepared to enter the pearly gates where angel mothers are waiting us, and join the angels and archangels, and all the company of heaven. ■ ■ LoLLiE Morris. 11 Senior Class f f w t i % s ' X ■ k m ' Senior Class Co ors—XeWmv and Whii jt t Ti ' £v— Daisy MAl D BURNS ....

The Senior W ill IVf K ' -;S MARGARET GIBSON, in view of the fact that she is no%¥ entering upon the career of a lady of leisure and fashion, leaves to some of the hustlers, who ' ll need it, if thev make ' 06, her brisk .gait. Shi- hereby bequeaths it to Misses Katie Stump and Blanche Chase, advising that they get a move on themselves. Miss Christine Clark bestows all of her unbounded affection for Mile. Fleury upon -Mi.sses Florence Underwood and Virginia Street, hoping thev mav find it useful. To Miss Clemmie Tucker she wishes to leave her ability to see the funnv side and enjoyment of analytics. Miss Louise McKee would like very much to honor with her red haar Miss Nell Huston and Aniw Wanwr, but she feels her utter inability to pait with it at present. So, instead, she leaves her dignitv, trusting it may serve them as well as it did her. She had hoped to leave her crushes to Miss Cornie Bass, but by special request from Faculty, she takes them with her. Miss Julia Hunter tenderly bequeaths to Miss Charlotte King her old uniform, her brown collar and her analytics, with a hope that she may fully appreciate the .great honor conferred upon her. Miss Lila Hunter — ditto, of course. Miss Maud Burns leaves her pompadour combs to Misses Bettie Duke and Elise Avdelotte. Also her knowl- edge of Equinoctial Systems and Parabolic Curves. Mi.ss Mary Huey leaves her tight blue skirt, so dear to her heart, to Miss Lida Prichett. Her sunnv smile she bestows upon Miss Varina Cook: so cheer up, Varina. Miss Ava Lankester leaves her history note-book to Miss Annie Martin. Whew! what a cinch for vou, Annie. Miss Elizabeth Ross bequeaths her troubles and her housekeeping ability to Miss Virgie Roseborough and Rrna Wright, respectively. Miss Mallie Wilson, feeling that she will have no use for it in after life, wishes to bestow upon Miss Betsy Ashbrook her vocal powers. May she use her talent wiseh- and not to the discomfort of others. In view of the noticeable prosiness of the class in general. Miss Mabel Harris leaves her poetic muse to the entire class, with the hope that they mav prove vastly more interesting in the future.

TKe Irregulars Ho w Belmont Girls Go a Touring, and WKy MASTER ' S degree in the University of Travel would not alone be proof of preparation for the complex duties of modem life. As a substitute for study, sight-seeing is a very poor thing, but as a supplement to scholarship it is inestimably valuable. Like music and art travel is the pie, the ice cream, the delicious dessert of an education, pleasing to the mental palate and capable of rendering more wholesome the rest of the menu ; but like music and art, travel cannot by itself sustain intellectual life. There must be the bread of books and the meat of writing and meditation and the indispensable drink from the fountain of Life Eternal, otherwise the brain will be weak and the heart action poor. A railway coach is a very useless sort of school-room to an ignoramus, and the sights of a great, strange city are lessons too difficult for an untrained understanding. But with some knowledge of maps , an express train study of geography is a pleasure unmixed with anything less delightful than the widening of the mind. With an intimate acquaintance with history there is great advantage in seeing the places where history has been made, and in looking upon the faces, and even upon the gravestones of those who have made histor r. Following a well directed course in music, art, architecture, engineering, or anv other one or dozen courses in the schools, it is vastly more a delight, it is even a duty if it be possible, to hear the best music, to see the greatest art galleries, to stud} ' specimens of the finest architecture and engineering — in a word, to go and see what the books and teachers have been talking about, for only by such process of personal observation can culture be completed and education fully available. But there are otherwise intelligent travelers who see little, just as there are readers who know no books, and concert goers whom no music ever blesses. An occasional case of blindness, however, is no argument in favor of marring all beauty. Because a few men are deaf the harmonics need not become discords. Some people, in order to be able to say, Yes, I have read it, will drudge through the heavy pages of a book in which they are not interested; and for the sake of saying, Oh, I have been there, not a few travel up and down the face of the earth, heedless the while of the beautiful features and noble outlines of that fine face. Some, therefore, who travel much might as well stay at home, and some there are who cannot travel, but to whom the world which others behold with unseeing eyes would be a glorious vision of thrilling and satisfying interest. Travel, then, is more than recreation, it is a means of education; and he who goes for pleasure alone will find somewhat less than he seeks ; but he who travels to learn will get more than he goes after — he will receive both information and pleasure. The foregoing are some of the articles in Belmont College ' s creed of travel. Sight-seeing is here regarded as an important elective which the prepared are advised to take, but in such moderation as shall not render it neces- sary to neglect the weightier matters of the — curricula. Once, twice, possibly even three or four times a year, a young woman without irreparable harm to her well-ordered course of study may join a company of her fellow students, and under the leadership of one or more trained travelers from the executive and teach- ing force staff, visit places of interest near and far, foreign tours, however, being confined to the summer vaca- tion period. Term-time trips are usually short for the double reason that they interfere less with routine school duties and that there are in easy reach of Nashville many places of scenic and historic interest. Among these are the greatest battlefields of the Civil War, the Cumberland Mountains, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Mam- moth Cave, the Hermitage, and a score of other places which travelers from afar constantly come to see, but which a Belmont student can visit in from one to six hours. But numerous longer journeys are planned and enjoyed. A memorable one this year was ' ' Belmont ' s Presidential Inauguration Tour, led by Miss Hood, Mr. Clifton and the Regent, and thoroughly enjoyed by every one of the thirty-one young ladies in the party. It was a special sleeping car trip via Cincinnati, Pitts- burg and Harrisburg to and from Washington, where the larger part of three days was given over to ' ' the strenuous lif e , seeing the capital city and its environments and witnessing the inauguration of the apostle of this same strenuous life, Theodore Roosevelt. Weary enough to appreciate the proverbial restfulness of the City of Brotherly Love the party left Washington for Philadelphia during the night of inauguration day. A Sabbath afternoon in Bethany Sunday-school, made famous by the long time superintendency of John Wan- amaker, was followed by attendance upon the Baptist Temple, whose widel) known pastor, Russell H. Conwell, was the preacher. Monday morning, March 6th, was given to an auto ride seeing Philadelphia, as a previous afternoon had been given to seeing Washington, and later a whole day to seeing New York. By special invitation of Mr. Wanamaker himself Monday afternoon was spent at Lindenhurst, his palatial suburban home, where is one of the finest of America ' s private art galleries, the chief pictures being Munkacsy ' s masterpieces, Christ Before Pilate and Christ on Calvar ' . Two nights and a day and a half were of Course too short for a visit to New York, but no other company ever saw in so brief a time more of what is desirable to see in the Metropolis. Carefully planned for economy both of time and of cost, the entire trip was crowded with profitable in- formation, pleasant experiences, and satisfactory results of every kind, including the gratifying fact that, although we traveled first-class, generously patronizing both Mr. Pullman and the dining cars, and although we secured the best entertainment in good hotels, and otherwise had high grade accommodations, the nine days out and the 2,500 miles traveled cost us only sixty-four dollars and sixty-eight cents, or more than ten dollars apiece less than we expected, though more both of comfort and of pleasure was provided than had been promised before the journey began. Of course no attempt is here made to describe the trip or to r ecount the varied experiences of ' ' Milady in Brown, who, by the way, was everywhere, individually and collectively, the object of admiring comment for her intelligence, refinement and modesty. Pages of this volume would be needed for a mere catalogue of what we saw and heard, and other pages could be filled with what we said and did; and every page would sparkle with merriment and glow with joy, for, since this trip was not taken for fun ' ' but for information, it was full of information and gladdened with harm- less fun. Although the party was large and the crowds both in Washington and New York immense and heedless, and the necessary exertions of the journey almost cruelly severe, there were no accidents and no unpleasant incidents. But the homeward bound company was weary enough and enough mentally awhirl over Washington and its civic wonders, Philadelphia and its historic associations, and New York and its commercial intensity to appreciate the contents of Wagner ' s The Simple Life, a personally inscribed copy of which Mr. Wanamaker had given to each member of the party on the occasion of our visit to his home. Farmer s Sonne A farmer had a sonne who sought renoun. He sente him off on one condicioun, That ner whan he in trouble muche or lyte Was he his fader at such tymes to vyste. He rode to toun upon a col blak mare, And all around him how that he did stere , For ner by for in alle his yonge lyi Had he him sen so much of cite stryf. His eyes he opened wyde as eny door, And cast him up and doun upon the floor ; His heres were long and lyk the yellow hay That he did cut upon a somer day; His clothes were big and ugly for to see, I dare not tell when they wer made, pardee, His voys was large and sounded lyk a horn, His face was with a yonge berd adorn. He was so grene that alle the folk did ponder Why such a wight allowed alon to wander; He was a mark for alle the bunco menes. Who sold him golden brickes for copper pennes, And whan he found his pocket was emptee He was a woful sighte for to see; And than he longen with his hole herte To be back on the farm, ner more to parte. R-epetition On tKe HeigHts. Same old strolling On the park, Same old blackbird. Same old lark ; Same old roses All aglow, Same old story E ' er doth flow. Same sweet young things, Same sweet looks, Same old tempter, Oh, those books! Same dear frat. sisters with Same dear smiles, Same silly No tion, Drives many miles. Same sweet young things. Now must tread. The same weary paths, Their ante-sisters led. Out under the stars in the silent night, When weary I wander alone, I gaze far up in that dazzling height And pray, Had I only known. What hand can it be that guides so true The stars in their endless course? Oh, would that this hand would guide me, too. With all of its strength and force! My burdens all seem to roll away, When I look to the heights above; They do not change, but remain alway, As signs of his grace and love. So now I know that the power above, Ruling the stars on high. Doth guide my life because of His love. And He will not pass me by. smmifYi Beta Sigma Omicron Founded at Columbia, Missouri,, 1888. Chapter Roll Beta Fulton, Missouri. Delta Sedalia, Missouri.

Crossing the £.bon Threshold T WAS Friday afternoon, early in October, hot, dusty and the murky air full of coal smoke. The sun was lurid and angry looking — just the kind of a day for teachers to linger long in faculty studying our best interests (?), and for witches, goblins and sprites to walk forth. We were standing in a room that was stifling hot, and in which the odor of burn- ing brimstone was rife. There were nine of us in all. We had been chosen from among one hundred new girls — enviable distinction, wonderful honor. We had been rushed, captured and pinned, and this was the first step in our initiation. A tall figure draped in sheets and closely masked like a spook stalked into the room. She must have been on stilts, as no girl was ever so tall. She literally towered. She carried in one hand a very big book, in the other a small sputtering, green candle. She strode up before us and opening the big book, she began to read in what must have been Hebrew or Sanskrit, and a dialect at that, for there was not even a familiar sound until the last sentence, which was read in a deep, dead voice, and which said; You will, one by one, pass the Mystic Gate As your names are written in the Book of Fate. She opened the big book once more, shut it quickly, and reaching out a wand in a long, bonv hand, she touched my head, and then vanished without a rustle. Quickly another figure in black motioned my comrades to the door, and I was left alone to be the first to cross the Ebon Threshold. My teeth chattered, my knees shook, my blood was cold. I thought of the hazing stories I had read and felt sure I would not live through the coming ordeal. I am a long. lank, towheaded Sophomore, but this Frat. had chosen me (I was told this in confidence), because I had an aunt in town who would invite us out sometimes, a brother at Vanderbilt that would be a nice acquaintance, and my schedule card filled with something ever ' hour — an evidence of a future brilliant career in college. I was honored, but I began, like ever} ' one who is suddenly raised to the heights of fame, to envy the peace and quiet of mediocrity. However, my time to think did not last. The figure in black seemed to be mistress of the orgies. She glided forward and began to unbraid my hair and comb it over my face. Then my eyes were covered with a heavy celluloid shade, burnt orange in color; a part of my clothing was replaced by a ghastly white kimono. Then I was led into a darker room, the only light in which emanated from the head of a skeleton. In front of this was a table covered with a black cloth on which sat a bowl filled with drjf leaves. They were as hot as cayenne pepper could make them and as bitter as wormwood. In a sepulchral voice my companion bade me to feast in the presence of the king. I dared not disobey and began, as best I could, to feed upon the leaves. When I had feasted she handed me what seemed a glass of ice water, but before it reached my lips I was strangled with fumes of ammonia. My next experience was, as I was told, to inspirit me for the hereafter. I was seated in a cushioned chair. When I leaned back to get m}- breath there came down suddenly upon my head a shower-bath of ice water. The drops seemed as heaw as hailstones, and I shrieked from the shock. My companion spoke for the third time : Ah, you shriek! You must take a ride on the breezes for your lack of courage. She led me to the attic and seated me in a rope swing, which at once began to rise. Pretty soon my poor wet head was among the rafters and cobwebs. Then I went slowly down to the floor again. After several oscil- lations, on coming down to within three or four feet of the floor, I was suddenly dropped . Before I could cry or collect my scattered wits, she said: Now you must go to bed and rest. A little bell rang and the person sum- moned came, dragging chains. Together they bore me to my bed, and after several cruel falls on the way I was laid to rest in a bath tub of cold water. Then the initiation began in earnest. I was — Oh. I must stop, or I will be telling Frat. secrets! I came out of it alive. When I went to supper that night I was an object of general interest in the dining-room. My eight comrades-in-honor cast on me very in- quisitive glances, which I evaded. The non-Frat. girl eyed me with envy, because I wore a new pin. The teach- ers carried puzzled expressions behind their glasses. I suppose that I should have developed such a degree of dignity. My Frat. sisters looked down on me ver) ' tenderly, with a pity born of repentance I verily believe, and my heart went out in love to them. I do not yet know which ones acted the part of spook, shade and jailor, and I have not courage enough to ask, but from that day I have been a member in good standing of the Fraternity. A Statue All winter long he stands there, Hooded and bowed as if in prayer; And sleet and rain and wind and storm Have raged about his cowering form. But now the flowers grow ' round his feet And cast abroad their fragrance sweet; A thousand birds aroiind him sing — He stands a stranger to all spring! For still he droops his aged head As if he mourned for one long dead ; Hooded and bowed as if in prayer. In desolate grief, he still stands there. Forbidden Fruit Bring me, she said, a poem for next time. And let it have a metre and a rhyme; To 3-ou I leave the choice of ever -thing. Except, dear girls, please do not write on Spring. ' In vain I sought for ideas, pored o ' er books. My thoughts would stray to April skies and brooks; I saw the flowers, heard the gay birds sing. Then came the thought, I must not write on Spring. ' And still I rack my brains and try to choose Some subject that will tempt the stubborn muse; There ' s nothing else to write of — not a thing — Why did she say, Please do not write on Spring ? TKe Strug ' g ' le Yes. beaten in the race! ' Tis painful plight As meed of toiling day and sleepless night. Yet something ' s gained, e ' en in the bitter fall — I pity those who never strove at all! — Nellie Frances Milbu A ' waky Do-wn So itK MARGARET GIBSON. The days are full of love and light. Away down South; The sky ' s so blue, the sun so bright. Away down south; The birds come flocking there in throngs. And fill the air with mirth and songs. And make us all forget our wrongs, Away down South. The flowers shed their fragrance sweet, Away down South ; And earth and sky appear to meet. Away down South ; The rivers there so lightly roll, And gently kiss the sloping shoal. Their murmuring billows have a soul. Away down South. Both day and night life ' s one sweet dream, Away down South; And hearts beat lighter there, I deem, Away down South; Then turn me loose and let me go. Where roses bloom and soft winds blow, And life presents a ruddy glow, Away down South. A. Midni Kt Hscape AS I frightened ? Well, I guess I was! It was the first time I had ever been in a fire and when I saw the smoke rolling into the room I felt quite sure it was time for me to be rolling out. So I jumped out of bed, slung on my coatsuit, and jerked on one shoe, but thinking time pretty precious, shoved the other into my coat pocket. Then I looked round the room, grabbed some of my clothes, opened the door and rushed out. Come on! Come on! I cried to my roommate. Which way? Oh, where must I go? Can ' t I get out? Why don ' t you come on? But why did people look at me so hard? It is true I didn ' t arrange my toilet that night for dress-parade; but what was the difference how I looked? My hair was hanging in my eyes, my hat on hind part before; my jacket on wrong side out, and shoes, stockings and various other articles were peeping out of my pockets. I made a mad rush down the stairs and through the hall, but the smoke was too thick for me to reach the door. What could I do ? Had ever ' one left me ? Almost frantic I ran to another door of the building only to find it locked! I ran back upstairs screaming as I went, Girls! Girls! How are you all going to get out? Answer me. We have plenty of time; they ' ll unlock the door, and even if they don ' t we are safe, for there is the fire escape. Oh, rapturous thought; the fire escape! The very thing, of course — but what was the matter with the girls? Not one would go ' with me. Do you all want to burn up? I cried, as I ran down the hall to the fire escape. As I had never been down one before, of course it couldn ' t be expected of me to know all about it. Why, I ' ll go down on the outside, I suppose. So I crawled through and with my little bundle of clothes started down the outside of that iron ladder. Just then I heard a voice far, far below me: What you doing up there, girl? I ' m coming down this fire escape. You ' d better not come down there; you ' ll break your neck. Oh, I guess not. Anyway, I am not going to stay up there and burn to death. Why, there is no danger; but if you must come, for pity ' s sake throw that bundle of clothes down. I did. Then he offered to help me. No! I don ' t want your help, I said. You just go on. I am getting along fine. But, horrors! Presently I felt my feet swinging in the air, and f could neither get up or down. Help! Help! I cried. I thought you ' d need help, he assured me, as he held out his arms, and with a one, two, three, yelled — - Drop! The f ' ll dock your deportment for coming down the fire escape. Deportment! What could — Maybe I had better go back, I said. But he advised me as I was downi to stay, so I did. While stooping to pick up my scattered clothes something fell on my head, knocking me to the ground. What! Had a burning rafter been thrown on me? Joy; no — it was only a sheet of clothes, bric-a-brac, books and alarm clocks thrown from one of the girl ' s windows. I collected my things and stationed myself under a tree. Of course I was scared, for there I stood out in that dark, lonesome park and not one of my friends with me. Presently a man came out of the building. She ' s a blazing! She ' s a blazing! Sure as the world she is. Oh, am I on fire? Help! Help! I am on fire! I was talking about the building. Miss, he answered. What a relief! Soon, by some miraculous chance, I found myself in the midst of a bevy of girls, and above all our voices- could be heard the voice of a man, Here ' s something that belongs to that girl that came down the fire es- cape, and — here ' s something else.

Our deportment is laid out As though ' twere some choice bit, And pieces large our teachers take, Just whenever they see fit. These little mice each represent A teacher whom you know ; Each one nibbles with all her might And leaves us pain and woe. That little one who ' s looking on Seems prone to make a start. But do not be deceived, kind friend. Miss Fleury does her part. The one who ' s always right on top To take the biggest bite. Is she who tries to make us stay Right in our rooms at night. Mrs. Burrus, too. though you ' d not think That she would prove untrue. Always keeps that book chuck full Of things she ' s seen us do. And then Miss Sparks, would you believe That she ' d mistreat us, too? But once I saw her take a name I shivered through and through. The last one pictured here Is known to aU — Miss Wade, And if we dare to skip a walk There ' s no mercy in that maid. Many others that I ' ll not name. All just as bad as these, To nibble our deportment dear, Like mice, a piece of cheese. A Modern IlnigHt •1 The spelling class stood in breathless sus- pense, for the head boy was hesitating over the last word in the lesson. He made one more desperate attempt and failed. Next, said the teacher, nodding to the little chubby fel- low who stood sec- ond in class. The boy, feeling a dozen pair of eyes bent on him, squirmed uncomfortably, shifted his weight from one foot to the other, and then began haltingly to spell the difficult word. In the meanwhile his neighbor, a little red-headed fellow, with a good-natured freckled face, leaned toward the little blue-eyed maid on his left to catch her pleading whisper: Oh, Tommy, she lisped, If you ' d only miss, I could go head. ' Pooh! he returned, snapping the one suspender that ser ed to hold up a pair of patched and faded trousers, I can spell it, too. Now, Tommy, interrupted the teacher, here ' s your chance to go head. S-q-u-i-r-r, Tommy began, and then paused. He traced an imaginary figure on the floor with his bare foot, glanced at the teacher and then sideways into a pair of pleading blue eyes, i-1, finished our knight with a gulp, blushing to the roots of his hair. Anne Warner. A FresKman ' s Plea on Departure of Senior Class {Apologies to Byron. ' ) Wise of Belmont, ere you part, Bequeath some knowledge to our heart; We all know you ' ve had to dig. And that your supply is limited, But bless us now, before you go — Wise one, we envy thee. We are easy, we are green.

On the comer-stone of another temple — an invisible one — is another inscription, which makes the first far more significant, as the soul adds meaning to the body. It reads, Bel- mont College Young Woman ' s Christian Association, Founded 1S92. So much for the date of its birth; but, as in most early histories, the facts of its 3-oung life are mainly lost. The legendary and authentic are mingled together with no clear line of demarcation between them. The Annals say that in the late fall of 1892, when the snow was white on the cedars and the girls had stayed one Sunday away from church, several of them gathered in a piano-room on the North Front Hall to sing Sunday-school songs. At the sound of this sweet echo of their home life other girls flocked into the music-room and their voices filled the room to overflowing with a volume of love, praise and home-sickness, to the great annoyance of the teacher who was to preserve order on that hall. She came to the door and opened it. The flood of song escaped and the greater number of the girls likewise. The teacher, Miss Gertrude King, now Mrs. Carter, of Lawrenceburg, Ky., invited those girls who were left to her room, and they spent a quiet hour together reading Ben Hur. When the room bell rang they separated, declaring they had enjoyed the evening immensely. On the next Sunday evening these girls were again invited to Miss King ' s room to read, and they came. This continued a few weeks. Each time there was a face or two added till the number amounted to fifteen, when Miss King proposed to them the forming of a Young Woman ' s Christian Association. This they did. At this time the Southern field had not been organized by the International Committee, and the scope and power of the Young Woman ' s Christian Association was not under- stood as it is now in our Southern schools. Regularly this little Association met in a weekly devotional meeting. Devotion does not stop with itself . Very soon their hands were busy, too, and while one read aloud some thrilling mission stor3 ' or some other religious book, the others were busy sewing, making clothes for the little folks of the Nashville Home for Working Women ' s Children. In this way many garments were made, many times, doubtless, with lack of skill and accu- racy ' ; but the girls ' spirits glowed over their work; their hands took on new ciinning, and their hearts began to pulsate with the joy that rewards ministration ever -where. For four j ' ears this work went on. Sometimes the girls came in and the attendance was encouraging ; some- times it was pitifully small, but regularly the faithful few met, sewed, sang, read and prayed, thus keeping alive the flame on the altars of their hearts. Sometimes they went to Vanderbilt to hear the lectures of the secretaries who came there, but no Association secretary visited us during those years. Frequently they went out on little tentative excursions of Christian work, like singing and reciting for the orphans or the inmates of the Old Woman ' s Home. Once they gave a sacred concert to a country church that was highly appreciated. The only president of those prehistoric times whose name has come down to us was Miss Mar ' Rankin, and so I suppose she was the first president. The first delegate sent to a student ' s conference was Miss Pearl Garrett of Illinois, who paid a part of her own expenses and attended the conference at Lake Geneva, Wis., in the summer of 1896. With the opening of the next session, September, 1896, our Association began its real life. Miss Pearl Garrett, who had been in a conference, was chosen president, but leaving school in the fall, she was succeeded by Miss Elizabeth Wittich. During this year we had our first visit from an International Secretary. Miss Nellie Allen, who was with us several days, and gave us our first insight into the real life and purpose of the Y. W. C. A. as it existed in the Eastern colleges. After her visit some committees took charge of certain phases of the work. Cabinet meetings were held regularly and systematic giving was begun to raise funds to send a delegate to the Southern Conference, appointed to have its meeting place at Asheville, N. C. The summer of 1897 found us with a better organization, an increase in numbers and interest, a broadening of the work and more effective devotional meetings. We sent one delegate to the conference at Asheville, Miss Elizabeth Wittich. Miss Jessie Rose went, paying her own expenses. This year, just closed, had been our struggling year. The quiet days of the infant life of the Association was past. She was getting on her feet. With this preparation it is not surprising that the next year, 1897-98, saw growth and progress along many lines in our Association. Miss Wittich, who had been at Asheville, was chosen president, and took up the work with zeal and enthusiasm. Only twelve names were enrolled at first, but the number grew rapidly. Miss Rose, who was not in school, gave us valuable help by sending to us very carefully-taken Asheville notes on missionary work, by suggesting a missionary library and sending us a nucleus of several books for it. The Association room was fitted up and made much more attractive. Twenty dollars was spent in books for the library. Twenty-five dollars was paid to the first Southern secretary. Miss Laura Beazell. During this year our Association was affiliated with the Western Division of the Southern Conference. Miss Beazell ' s visit, and one made this year by Miss Laura Wilde, an International Secretary, were very helpful to the Association. Through Miss Beazell ' s influence the girls who had never had the responsibility of leadership were willing to undertake it. Miss Wilde ' s talks on Bible study resulted in a large enrollment of students for this work. During the year we sent Miss Pauline King as a delegate to the Student Volunteer Con- vention, which met in Cleveland, Ohio. Through the influence of the Associaton the school had a long-to-be- remembered visit from Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster. Systematic giving began early, and two delegates, Miss Frances Weber and Miss Bettie Drane, were sent to Asheville. Miss T. J. Buchanan, a member of the Faculty, who for two years had been deeply interested and very efficient in the work of the Association, paid her own expenses to Asheville. On account of starting a mis- sionary library and of the great interest taken in the study of missions we remember this as our Missionary ' Year. The next year, 1898-99, Miss Frances Weber was chosen president. The work was organized very thor- oughly and vigorously. This year the Finance Committee originated and carried out plans for earning money, and over three hundred dollars were realized. The Y. W. C. A. began to be felt as a strong factor in the social life of the school. A new bookcase was bought and a number of new books added to the library. Miss Cora N. Crosby was the Southern secretarj ' and made Belmont her home while in Nashville. Her presence in the school was apparent in the spiritual uplift of the leaders of the work. On account of our rapid growth financially and the increase of the Association in social power, this is our Financial and Social Year. We sent three delegates to Asheville, and Miss S. B. Cooke, a member of the Faculty ' went, paying her own expenses. By this time the Association was fully organized. The work has gone on, year after year, with steady growth. Two things worthy of note I wish to mention as coming in the year 1899-1900. One was a visit and a strong gospel meeting by Miss Harriet Taylor, General Secretary of the American Committee. The other was the loss to the Association of Miss T.J. Buchanan, whom failing health sent to the West. Her earnestness, consecration, zeal and wisdom had done much toward estab- lishing the Association work in our midst and in the States of Tennessee and Kentucky, the Western Division of the Southern Conference. We have at present, as the year 1904-1905 draws near its close, an enrollment in the secretary ' s book of one hundred and thirty-five names. One hundred and ten of these are active, the other twenty-five associate mem- bers. This is seventy-five per cent of the student body. We have one hundred and eight students engaged in devotional Bible study, a circle of fort) ' studying in a Personal Worker ' s class, and a class that meets weekly to study the subject of prayer. We are trying to bring our budget up to three hundred and 6ity dollars, contributed to the world ' s work, the American work, the State work. We had three delegates at our Division Conference in Lexington, Ky., last fall, and we hope to have seven delegates at Asheville. This year has been marked by increased fidelity and earnestness on the part of the president and her cabinet, and a deepening of the spiritual life of the student body. The Association is planning greater things still for another year. We are hoping to increase and develop our work at home, with every possible means in our power, and in the near future to have a secretary ' in the foreign field. We are also ambitious that some of our nimiber will answer the order, Go ye into all the world. When we remember our motto we feel sure we will not be disappointed, for it is: Not by power nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.

Webster Elliott Ah, senorita, you foreigners do not understand the Spanish. You call us sentimental. We are normal. You have so spurned sentiment that you are all prose. These things happen (all) around you, but you are too busy to care, while we love to hear and remember them. There is a reason for everything, and we find it out. You have heard of Lake Chamelicon? I nodded. You like to account for it by saying that it is the crater of an extinct volcano, and the bad lands leading up to it were caused by the — what you call it? I can not think rapidly in the Eng- lish. Lava flows, I sug- gested. I was seated on the gallery out on the banana finca watching the clouds roll up as they always did at five in the even- ing, when this old Span- iard came, and I knew he would tell me a story of his country. He spoke in the soft accent peculiar to Spanish, and even our harsh English was made beautiful by the gentle rolling of his r ' s and his slow way of speaking. He had mastered the language, and only when excited did the words fail to come rapidly. I tell you the true reason wh) ' that is so. Once on a time there was a handsome prince who was beloved b) ' the young queen of Spain. All thought what a happy marriage it would be and what a good king the prince would make. The queen heard him admire a beautiful table that Merlin had given the reigning house of Spain many, manv years ago. The top of it was of alternating squares of the diamond and the sapphire; the pedestal of one solid pearl carved in exquisite design, and the legs of gold fashioned like dragon ' s feet. The queen, hoping to gain the favor of the prince, gave this to him. Now, the prince cared nothing for the fair lad} ' , and became so tired of her professions of love that he mar- ried the ladv of his choice and came to Honduras. He built a magnificent castle and had a special room made for the table. In this secluded place he passed sixteen happy years, and his daughter, Doloris, was the joy and pride of his life. It was his desire to rear her to know nothing of the outside world. One day he stood looking at her as she sat by the great fountain watching the fishes play. Ah, he thought, she is so happy she has not a care or fear. May I always keep her so. Doloris turned and came running up to him. Oh, padre mio, now you can come with me to feed the peacocks; I have been waiting for you so long. Chiquita, aren ' t you happy? he asked, anxiously. Happy, padre; of course I am happ} ' . You give me everv ' thing I ask for, but I want you to come and play with me. But where is Anitasia? he inquired. I don ' t know where she is; talking to Pedro, I suppose; but what she can find interesting in that stupid man I cannot see. Men are always stupid. I don ' t think 5 ' ou are a bit, padre mio. I wish I could find some one as interesting as you to talk to, then I would not have to bother vou. Come, let ' s go and feed the peacocks, she said in her most enticing manner. Not this afternoon, Doloris. Listen; the birds have been calling you this half hour, Chiquita. He watched her run down the path, and kept thinking, I will buy her anything she wants just so she will keep happy. On her wav she met a gentleman who inquired for her father. He saluted her just as her father did that beautiful Seiiora Gonzalez. When she returned she was glad to find that her father had asked the 5-oung man to stay awhile. He proved to be a French nobleman traveling around in search of adventures, and as he brought outside news, the prince was glad to make him welcome. Doloris and their guest were much together, and he told her such interesting things about life at court, of his travels and the duels he had fought, she thought him just as interesting as padre. At last he told her of his love. The old Spaniard paused. Ah, senorita, I will have to skip that part for the English is too poor to express such sentiments. Your language is good for business, but mine is the love-making language. When, he continued, the father learned of their love he was furious. Monsieur was banished, but the two escaped together. Soldiers were sent after them, and the two were caught. The young man was put in prison, condemned to be killed the next morning. Doloris, in despair, went to the cave of an old witch she had helped once and begged her aid. ' Ah, daughter, it is too late, too late; I can but curse the ground for not letting you escape more easily. ' ' Modo, you must do something; at least give me some poison so that I mav die, ' she implored. The witch took from her pot of herbs a ring, and slipping it on the girl ' s finger, said: ' Wish anything but that you may return to your lover and it shall be so. ' Thanking her for this little aid, she hurried to the castle. On reaching it she noticed some commotion, and a faithful servant told her that her sweetheart had been killed. ' Oh, may we all sink to the bottom of the sea, ' she exclaimed. That night, as the moon arose, it looked on what had been the palace, and saw a calm lake. And the table, I asked, for his telling had charmed me, what became of it? On the seventeenth of April of each year the table comes to the surface of the lake. It has been seen by many. One man rowed out to it, and with the aid of three yoke of oxen, towed it to the shore. As it neared the bank it began gradually to recede, when it reached the center of the lake it sank, carrying all down. What a pretty story, I remarked. Story ! story ! she cried. Seiiorita, that is no story. That is the truth. Oh, I forget; you are an Ameri- can. They do not believe what they see or hear ; they must have proofs. You go. I take you up there some day and you see. Adios, Seiiorita. For tHe SaKe of Science Gladys Moxtague W ' ixstox. Chapter I. AVERLEY, for the sake of science I would lay down my life; I would sacrifice my motherless child, Professor Randolf said to his friend, a fellow professor, John Waverley, and. he continued, would you not do likewise? You know my love of science; you know my deep thirst for knowledge; but whether I can go so far as j ' ou, Randolf, I can hardly say. T ' hen it would come to the sacrifice of my handsome bo}- — no; I fear I could not go with j-ou. After arguing for some hours Professor Randolf rose, his face set in stem lines. I will do as much as I have said, he began; perhaps I shall be considered insane, cruel, unnatural; but I am not what I consider cruel. I will make this sacrifice if you will promise something also. You know my belief. Now, I will take my three-year-old daughter to a fruitful island, uninhabited, in the Southern seas. There I will leave her with a negro child of the same age. If a young animal can grow there they can — they are strong and fruit is plentiful. Nature shall be the mother of my chUd — her onh ' teacher. It is my belief that the child with the influence of nature will, on account of that and generations of civilized ancestors, be all that a woman shoxild be. Also, I think the negro will grow up naturalh ' subser -ient to mj ' daughter Alice. That, on account of generations of slaves she wUl be bound body and soul to my daughter. And now, Waverley, for your part, wiU you solemnly bind -ourself and your son, that at the age of twenty-two he shall go for my child — the first one who has ever gone from this countn,- — see her, bring her to me, and marry her. Say! Do vou agree? Why, Randolf, his friend answered, you are a fool; but you are determined you will have your wav You may leave your child there, but she will be a perfect savage or die. Nevertheless, I give my word for my part. On my life Horace will have a bonny bride! Yes, I agree; here ' s my hand. Chapter II. Land, ho! the sailor cried from the mast-head. Professor Randolf stepped to the railing of the small steamer and lifted his little girl to his shoulder. There, child, is your future home, a beautiful place it appears. Say beautiful! B ' uful, she repeated, smiling. Soon a small boat was let down, one sailor, the professor, his little daughter, and a negro child embarked. They landed, and Professor Randolf viewed the island and was well pleased. Surely no place could be better suited to his scheme. He remained there two days and nights, and on the third day he took leave of Alice. Here I leave you, my child. It is for the sake of science. May you live and grow as I think you shall. May God guide you and keep you from all evil. Horace will come for you — child, say Horace! Horace; say Horace! Horace, she repeated, Horace. Professor Randolf knelt and kissed the child. God keep you, he said, and went away. Chapter III. Eighteen years had passed and another craft neared that South-sea island, the yacht of young Horace Wav- erley. Waverley stood on the deck smoking. A fine fellow — tall, well-built. His handsome, intelligent face wore a slight smile. Jove! he said aloud, did ever a fellow go on such a chase as this? I, Horace Waverley, of Yale, cham- pion football man of America — I going to see — the Lord knows what. I engaged by my thoughtful father to marry! Marry what? A savage. Well, throwing his cigar overboard, it is something rather out of the ordinary at any rate. Put on more steam there, Jacky, he cried. Ah! my gentle savage, indeed my heart longs to see you. How I do wonder what I shall find. Have as much curiosity as a woman. Quite a decent- looking isle; wonder what is on it; what kind of a creature — no, two creatures — there is a negro girl also, the old Professor said, crazy old fellow. Professor Randolf. He is a heartless brute! All these years he has lived and enjoyed his profession and the fortune left to his daughter, for the sake of science! Am rather interested in it myself ; but as to placing a helpless infant on an uninhabited island, may the gods deliver me ! Hurry up, there, Jacky! Oh, well, she may be dead; but this trip is worth taking anyway. Off with the boat there! Row, fellows, row! Here ' s to my lady savage. Chapter IV. The boat touched the shore. Horace Waverley stood still. He was dazed by the beauty of the place, the stillness, only broken b) ' the songs of the birds; the stretch of green back to a jungle of trees, palms and ferns; and rising beyond a mountain capped with snow. To the right was a still blue stream, shaded by palms. A paradise! he murmured. Where is the goddess? Would it were not a savage. He looked again toward the stream, and there on the bank stood a girl — tall, majestic, dark. She wore a queer dress made of grasses, and she was crowned with a wreath of flowers. Her face was proud, and her great eyes pierced the stranger. Each hand rested upon the head of a leopard, restraining them. Near her crouched a negro, trembling. Was this a picture ? There was not a movement. The young man bowed his head in reverence of the beauty of this — goddess. So he stood. He heard a light step, and looked up. Toward him the girl came ; the clouds had given her their majesty ; the motion of the storm had given her grace ; her face had in it the beauty of the morning; she had the calm of mute insensate things. And thus she approached him. He knelt before her. No fear was in that fearless face of hers ; only wonder, deep wonder. Horace rose and stood before her. He could not speak, but took her hand gently, and she spoke to him in a strange tongue. It was the note of the birds, their language she seemed to know. Dear God! just to speak with her, he sighed. She must know me, he thought. Horace! he said to her. A light broke over her face. She laughed joyously. Horace, Horace, she repeated, Horace. Then they talked in the strange language of signs. She was happy as a child, and the man — he could not take his eyes from her — he devoured her with his gaze. She was imperious, then gentle as a child. She led him to the crouching negro; she spoke, and the servant rose. She waved her hand, and the negro disappeared. At her command the leopards licked Waverley ' s feet. All the island was her kingdom. All the animals her subjects. She was the queen of the realm. And she had conquered a strong man with a glance. Here was a noble woman, and the theor ' of Professor Randolf was proven. Ch. pter V. Three months had passed. In the home of Professor Randolf there was gathered the intellectual aristoc- racy of the East. A servant appeared in the great doorway. Mr. Horace Waverle) ' , Miss Alice Randolf, he announced. The people were keen with expectancy. Professor Randolf staggered. They entered — Horace Waverley and Alice Randolf — a man flushed with pride, handsome as a god. At his side — there all eyes were riveted — fearless, with her dark head thrown back, Alice stood, a dark dress clinging to her superb form. Her face — how glorious! Her eyes swept the room. With a little cr r she went to her father. And this is your daughter, Horace Waverley said, and his voice trembled. This is your daughter. She is as pure and noble as God can make a woman. And you find her but to lose her. I found her and I shall claim mv own. TKey Have you heard of the terrible family They, And the venomous, dreadful things they say? Why, half the gossip under the sun If you trace it back you will find begun In the wretched House of They. A numerous family, so I am told, And its genealogical tree is old. For ever since Adam and Eve began To build up the curious race of man Has existed the House of They. Gossip mongers and spreaders of lies, Horrid people whom all despise, And yet the best of us, now and then. Repeat queer tales about women and men, And quote the House of They. It is wholly useless to follow a They With a whip or a gun, for he slips away And into his house, where you cannot g It is locked and bolted and guarded so- This horrible House of They.

They grew long ago in a garden so old Were wooed by the sun ■v ' ith an ardor bold, Till once there was pressed on the blossoms so white The lingering touch of a still summer ' s night, And never again could the bright sun efface The purple shade of that night ' s first embrace. Their perfume was drawn from a fair princess ' breath. For the soft, dainty petals absorbed her caress; The delicate odor went down in their pure hearts, And left the effect of its magical arts; And long after, when the sweet lady was gone, The fragrant breath from the flowers was borne. The iVomance of a Rose To M. N. F. KATE ANDERSON DINSMORE. In a garden, in a valley. Where the mockingbird ' s notes call And the tiny elves and fairies Hold their midnight flower ball. Where the sparkling fountains glisten ' Neath the beams of moon and sun, And reflect the tmnkling stars As they blossom, one by one. A single crimson-pet aled rose Lifts up its stately head, The queen of all the garden fair- Love ' s heart, so warm and red. The wond ' ring breezes woo her The sunbeams gently kiss this rose, With sweet songs, soft and low; The dewdrops gHsten bright With sighs and gentle kisses. Upon her velvet petals. As she sways to and fro. Refreshing her each night. The rose coquettes and nods at them, And slowly, day by day, Her crimson heart grows deeper, More beauteous every way. One night two lovers, strolling In the moonlight through the flowers, Pause beside this queen of beauty, Enthroned in perfumed bowers. A strong hand plucks her from the throne, On her heart a kiss is pressed. And then a slender little hand Holds fast the rose — Love does the rest.

Each night, trooping homeward, we meet, Pacing his same nightly beat. The faithful night watchman ; He ' s grizzled and stiff-kneed and old, But he cares not for rain nor for cold, And he guards us with heart stout and bold — Brave old night watchman! And to-night, in my room, I ' ve no fear, For I know that he always stays near — Blessed watchman! How nice to be safe and — but. hark! What a dreadful noise out on the park! Oh, girls! it ' s some boys on a lark! Oh, that watchman! They are singing a song, I ' U be there, ' Let ' s go to the window — take care — I see the night watchman. Oh, girls, he is making them quit: Shut up, you young rascals, and git! No more of that noise, not a bit! That cruel night watchman! They fade away into the gloom, Once more all ' s as still as the tomb — That mean old night watchman! What a wretch the old sinner can be. Why we need him I really don ' t see; I would fire him if they left it to me — That dinky night watchman! I odpd f hont Qolle e YA7y D£RaiLT Grinds Let us laugh and be merry while we live, for we shall be dead a long time. Miss Lankester, in describing an elk said : ' ' This animal has ten feet between its horns. Mary Howard Golladay must have been very much ex- cited about the fire when she went up to the statue of Her- cules and said, Can you tell me where Amy is? Flunker in Astronomy: Sun, moon and stars forgot. Bunch: Oh, Tot, you walk like Priscilla in Evangeline. Dr. Landrith — Bunch, your father says that you must go to school until you are grown. Bunch — That ' s an unlimited time. Dr. Landrith — Yes, it ought to be three inches longer. We are surprised, but this is what one of the girls says about a Vanderbilt fellow who came out to a recital not so long ago ; Many a glance around he stole. And then his chink he chunk; Many a wicked smile he smole. And many a wink he wunk. Miss Wendel — Rebekah, tell me something of Alexander the Great. Rebekah — Why, he made a city in twenty daj ' s and put electric lights in it. Alice — Julia, what have you been reading to-day? Julia (heaving a great sigh) — Oh, I have just finished ' Dante ' s Divine Comedy. ' Alice— - ' ' Oh., is it cute? If it is let me read it. Mary Huey in describing some animal in geology said that it was herbinivorous. It doesn ' t take a chemist to understand why Lot ' s wife turned to rubber before she turned to salt. Miss Blalock — Christine, define space. Christine — I can ' t express it, but I have it in my head. A fly and a flea in a flue were imprisoned ; now, what could they do? Said the fly, Let us flee. Let us fly, said the flea. So they flew through a flaw in the flue. A young lady, with initials P. H. when reading a descrip- tion of the heroine in one of our modem novels, came across the expression, And she had beaux yeux. The young lady immediately made inquiries as to what kind of a disease the heroine had. Laura G. , posing with that inevitable smile for a picture — How is that, Mr. Thuss? I Ir. T. — Madam, I ' m sorry, but I suppose you will have to wait for Mr. Taylor, my lens only takes thirteen-inch grins. THe Erditors Would LiKe to K.no-w If you have ever heard Miss Cooke tell of her trip abroad. If you have ever seen OUie Clark asleep in chapel. If you have ever heard that Glee Club sing. What happened to Ema Wright ' s hat while she was in Washington. What makes Willadel Freeman so pretty. The pedigree of Miss Taliaferro ' s Httle Fido. Why some girls persist in going through Rec. hall and gazing at the callers in the parlor. What Miss Hood means by the dude nuisance. The last man who wore Emma Lee ' s frat. pin. How Jane Austin would look in red. If you have ever heard Miss Mitchell speak of Knoxville. Why Edith Branham continues to rave over Sib. How Marguerite ever worked it out that pigs were pig- gish. Whose K. A. ring Genevieve is wearing. It ' s a Hard- (th)ing to tell. A. Fe-w Terms We Woxild Suggest For Ne-w Dictionary Test — (Egj-ptian, tesio; to kill), (n) A process by which the students hope of a good grade is shattered. A means for givin g teachers knowledge of the student ' s ignorance. A producer of that awful, empty feeling in the cranium. Special — (Ancient Sanskrit, Specia, to wander), (n) One who won ' t be in Freshman class and can ' t be in another. One barred from class receptions; (syn.) outcast, prodigal. French Receptiox. — (Root of word not known), (n) An ancient custom for causing happiness (?) A thing you hate (?) to miss. (Syn.) Heaven (?) bhss (?) Belmoxt College — (French, Colle, pasted or stuck, and etude, study.) A place where every one is stuck on study (?) Browxie — (Hebrew. Bron — a lovely shade.) Something that loves Miss Cooke; flourishes in laboratories; always seen in a reclining position. Some Variations on Going ' to CKurcH To wash your face and brush your hair, And then your uniform to wear; That ' s preparation. And then the special car to ride, And have girls step on you beside; That ' s transportation. And then to gaze into the street. In hopes your eyes with his may meet; That ' s expectation. And when his face you cannot spy. Why, then, that sermon ' s long and dry; That ' s thunderation. May Mayfield wasn ' t a boy. Alma Rhinock ever came to Belmont. Ethel Richardson always has her teeth worked on at Dr. Dale ' s. Lida Pritchett ' s small body does not grow aweary of this large world. The Kirkman girls were late one Sunday morning. Genevieve Evans lost her high spirits. We Wonder Why Louise Ray lost her seat in chapel. Kathleen Jones dislikes to deliver Miss Cooke ' s mail. The boys avoid Pauline Kelley ' s window since the night of the Glee Club entertainment. We don ' t march out of chapel oftener. We make so much noise when we get out our song books. We don ' t have student government. It is so very objectionable to be seen in north front windows. 2Cl.

The Choral Club o Court of L.ast Resort NE of the most brilliant members of the staff has consented to give authoritative answers to all the strenuous questions that confront us in this struggle for existence at Belmont College. Full name and address must be given. Alice Nelsox. — I am sorry that you are insulted because you were not roasted in the Annual. I have investigated and find that they intended to knock everybody, but the best of intentions sometime fail. Teacher. — Yes, I think it is a brilliant idea to punish young ladies by making them memorize parts of the Bible. Although they may not to appreciate now, they will thank you in after years. Seawright. — By all means fold your hands at roll-call. It adds to your natural grace. Louise. — I cannot exactly tell by the color of the hair enclosed what kind of a disposition you have, but I imagine from your handwriting you wotild be a great one on crushes and spooning in hallways. LiDA. — Too bad we all can ' t have good health, and I mu st confess that I ' m surprised that My Little Geor- gia Rose does not flourish in Sunny Tennessee. Perhaps you study too hard. I suggest that you take a change — cut classes once in a while and go to the infirmarj ' for an hour or two. Ethel King. — A good, hearty meal and a long spin on the park immediately afterwards may, in course of time, reduce your flesh. But be patient, and if any one should make any slanderous remarks in regard to your form raise the eyebrows slightly and take it like a man. Jane ' s red dress!!!

Never worry shouldst thou receive 50 or o in order and neatness, it is not thy fault, for thou knowest thy room- mate is a careless room-mate, leaving the light burning when she should turn it off, dusting only in the places she thinks will be seen, and thereby bringing destruction on the whole house.
