Whence these stories? Whence these poems and these fancies. With the spirit of the college, With the go and dash of schoolgirls. With the rushing of the crushes. With their frequent spats and fusses? I should answer. I should tell you, From the class rooms, from the chapel. From the great minds of the students, From the pranks, and from the feastings, From the rooms, and halls, and campus, I repeat them as I heard them. From the lips of those who did them. If still further you should ask me. Saying, What is this Belmont College? Tell us of this growing wonder? I should answer your inquiries Straightway in such words as follow : In the valley of the Cumberland, On a crested hill in Nashville Is our honored Alma Mater; Round about this school of learning Spreads the city with its wonders. And beyond it stands old Vandy. Ye who love the haunts of schoolgirls. Love their mischief and their nonsense, Love the shadow of discipline, Love the voices of the teachers. Listen to this college record — To this song of life at Belmont. — E. McC.  HiLMA Green Florida Annah McIntire Cox Kentucky T. W. C. A.; S. C. S. R. R.; Vice President of Sub-Senior Class, ' 09- ' 10; Bible Study Leader, ' 09- ' 10; Vice President of Senior Class, ' lO- ' ll; President of Cercle Francaise, ' lO- ' ll; Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, ' lO- ' ll; Bible Study Leader, ' lO- ' ll; Program Committee of Violin Club, ' lO- ' ll. Yes, she talks once in a while, but would not come under the parrot variety of people. Her constant companion is her livre francais. On account of her youthful appearance, one would hardly have expected her to have attained the dignity of a B.A., but owing to the devotion of some one down home she grows younger every day, and we fear that this time next year she will have become Young indeed. It isn ' t Hilma ' s lot to be a leader, but she is perfectly happy to be a satellite — and it isn ' t a puzzle whose satellite she is either, because have you ever seen her without Hazel? Her hair is the greatest worry of her life — not how to make it grow — no, in- deed — but what to do with such a bounteous sup- ply. It is always in her own way, as well as other people ' s, and she will be glad of any sug- gestion anyone can give her about it. But these who know her best say she is studious and tries to use every minute of her time. S. C. e. R. R.; T. W. C. A.; President of Senior Class, ' lO- ' ll; President of German Club, ' lO- ' ll; Devotional Committee, T. W. C. A. There is a young damsel named Cox, Whose character ' s one full of shocks. She ' s tall and she ' s thin, And she looks like a pin. And she ' s proof against all kinds of knocks. In classes some say she ' s a shark. With teachers she sure hits the mark. As pres of the class, She ' s quite a stunning lass. And we ' ll ' rect her a shaft on the park. Zeleva Pearl Boland Missouri Y. W. C. A.; S. C. S. R. R.; Northern Club. Pearl, generally known to us as Ma. is an ideal senior, with the exception of only a few small matters. Those being to her disadvantage are: She is incHned to take life too seriously, she worries over her grades. She worries over her appetite, and in an earnest manner she peti- tions some of her friends among the faculty that she needs to keep cakes in her room to mince on during study hour. She is in con- stant hot water for fear Pa Jones will forget his company manners and make some breach of etiquette while out in society. She is crush proof, as she considers it far beneath her dignity to indulge in such foolishness. Which fact some of her dear friends grieve over. On the other hand, she has mounted to the highest peak of Alaska, and there buried her heart (happy may he be). She has commanded the respect of the most sober-minded members of the faculty, and has gained their best wishes by her close observance and tactfulness. And now with such characteristics could you imagine her to be a slender maiden, with tender manner and a gentle voice, blue eyes, and curlv golden hair blowing in the breezes (?) Such is Pearl, whose memory will always be dear to those who knew her. Hazel Tynes Alabama S. C. S. R. R.; CoUegre Editor of Blue and Bronze, ■QS- ' IO; Treasurer of Dixie Club; Vice President of Alabama Club. A happy combination of a shark and a lady (of leisure, given to timidity and much sleep, studies her lessons during the two and a half minutes between classes, and generally knows them. She has not, as far as we know, been subject either to crushes or to the bang fever. ..(T . May Burns Tenn Alay is bright and she is witty, She is smart, but she ' s not pretty. Handsome is as handsome does, As the old-time maxim says. So we say that May is handsome. And that ' s pretty in a way. Although she hails from Tennessee, She ' s just as gay as she can be. She ' s always welcome wher ' er she goes, For she ' s rich in friends, but poor in foes. She ranks high in deportment, And she ' s on Miss Webb ' s floor, Now who for themselves can dare to say more? We ' re glad she is a Senior, For now her work is o ' er. But in the future years to come They ' ll miss her more and more. Bobbie, a Lone Star State cowgirl, who shows a strong preference for bareback riding. Is noted for breaking absolutely every rule in school. A fluent Spanish scholar, who says, For favor please pass to me myself the cream, and when upon asking why her grade was not raised, received the reply that it will be next quarter. A very motherly nature, who sympathizes with all the analytic, home, lovesick girls. A frequent visitor at Skalowski ' s and Luigart ' s, she says for something to eat; but if you sat at her table you would not believe it. Shows a wise choice in the selection of roommates, and lives forever after, like happy couples should. An all around, jolly person, and a most excellent friend. Ellen Hail Alabama Anne Mosei y Texas S. C. S. R. R. ; Secretary of Senior Class; Treas- urer Self-Regulating Roll; Treasurer Alabama Club; Assistant Treasurer of T. W. C. A. Ellen the fair, Ellen the blue-eyed maid of Belmont, has changed her name to Ellen the fair, Ellen the pink-eyed maid of Belmont. Her chief diet is composed of oranges and salt, while her favorite pastime is writing notes to her many victims of the crush fever. She continually quotes from Emerson ' s Essays on Love, but let us not think of Ellen devoting her time to the reading of these instead of getting her lessons. A more quiet and obedient girl is not found on third floor Fidelity, scorns the proposals of dis- turbing another girl ' s room while the occupant is away. Authority on the pronunciation of botanical names, while in logic her sad and silent countenance excuses her from class. In analytics class she never has sufficient time to prepare her lesson and in igth century literature her mem- ory fails her (?). ' Tis in Caesar that she dis- plays her knowledge — also in spherical trigonom- etry in drawing such small and e.xact pictures on the board. But possessing these many accomplishments and failings, her many, many friends at Belmont will never forget her true Christian character, with a happy disposition and known by the name of ' ' Splits. Anne is another renowned member of the Bangs Club. We mention this fact as this is the most popular bunch in school this year. She is studious, of course ; no one doubts it, but there are some few things we cannot quite understand, possibly because of her numerous friendships with the teachers on second and third floor. Founders. She is more than popular, being a Senior and rooming on Miss Webb ' s floor. Can more be said? Annis Helen Jones Texas Florence M. Lee, SIX West Virginia Y. W. C. A.; President W. C. T.

Miss Jones, our star pupil in geology, likes to have company in her interest in class, and often gets it by nudging her neighbors and requiring them to Say yes ' m ' , density. Although she sometimes fails to see the why, we hope that by careful observation of phenomena through life, that by the time she is eighty she will have enough knowledge in this branch to remember that she studied the subject. Miss Jones has been a great addition to her Alma Mater, in that she has helped institute sev- eral reforms, chief among them the VV. C. T. U. (VVomen Continually T roubling Us) to keep her erring sisters from imbibing too much ice tea on Sunday nights, as she feels that though this may not be intoxicating, owing to its unexpectedness, too much would be very intemperate. We would not have done Annis justice without mentioning her brilliant recitations in psychology, and we are confident that the old folks at home will be astounded at the extent of her knowledge in this subject. The President of our Y. W. C. A. hails from the West Virginia hills. She is gifted in more ways than one, and is especially improved since her stay in Belmont by her constant association with a certain member of the faculty, and con- versation concerning the good of the Y. W. C. A. She stands admirably for her seven-tenth part of the Senior Class, and is unusually popular with her classmates. With a lapse of only very short intervals she ran for every office in the class, and in the end came out Just a Senior. She is dishonest, easily influenced, and goes in a boisterous bunch. This is how she came to be Ex-Editor-in-Chief of the Annual. There is system in her correspondence — one a day — and she feels duty bound to love everybody. An anxious inquiry from everyone that has seen West Vir- ginia on the map is. Do you know that good- looking man down there that dances so well? But the Chinese puzzle for us all is how is she to enter upon the matrimonial stage with bangs? E% Louise S. Parkes Tennessee President of Day Pupils ' Club, ' 09- 10; Associate Editor Milady n Brown, ' lO- ' ll; Literary Committee Annual, 09- ' 10. Louise is the silent member of the class, nev- ertheless she generally asserts her opinion by the perpetual up and down movement of her head. Her motto is, Never disagree with a teacher, most especially the science teacher. The height of her ambition is to be a renowned dog trainer, and we believe she will make a good one. ' ' To be or not to be, aye, there ' s the rub — whether ' tis nobler to be a noted dog trainer or to run the risk of being a poor authoress. Did anyone say cruel? She, poor girl, has had sad experiences in her fair youth, and at the very mention of the word she shames the red, red rose. At present she is chief adviser in the law and course of crushes, and specialist for the crush disease. It is evident that one of her patients. Miss L M. H., requires quite a bit of attention from the length and frequency of the consultations held between them. Not only does she make several calls a day. but it has been noticed that she makes several calls, or perhaps visits would come nearer expressing it, over the phone after school. But it is said, No one is perfect, so we must forgive Louise this weak- ness. In spite of the fore-named failing, she is much loved by all her schoolmates, as well as a general favorite of the faculty. Mildred Utterbach Kentucky Yes, it ' s Miss Utterbach, the star of the geolog ' class. Talks continually — never gives another person a chance. Authority on all mathematical questions, from Freshman to Senior work. Be- sides her art of talking she is gifted with the art of singing — and let me add piano, too. Her main ambition is to become a great vocalist, and we are able to see a very good beginning from her appearance in the Student Recitals. Has a horror of the opposite sex — cannot bear to men- tion their names. Very despondent at times be- cause of becoming so slender (?) but lives in hopes of gaining when she returns to her beauti- ful country home in Kentucky. Besides these rare accomplishments, there re- mains to be told that a more sincere, earnest and lovable girl cannot be found in the Senior Class. Nothing but the best of wishes and expectations go with her from her girl friends in Belmont of 1911. m Martha Trogden Illinois Fannie Lou Bragg Alabama S. C. S. E. R.; T. W. C. A.; Dixie Club. No one who ever saw Martha trip across the hall would ever giiess that she was a Senior. She has two aspirations — one to play the chapel organ all the time, the other to excel in Expres- sion. Miss Blalock says Martha indulges in the cultivation of the senses — this is probably due to her fondness for analytics. She is pre- eminent as the tallest of the tall — the greatest rival of Sarah Frances when it comes to lofty achievements. It is commonly believed that she has a particular aversion for broad-shouldered men — and farming — but this is decidedly a mis- take! T. W. C. A.; Dixie Club; S. C. S. R. R. Fannie Lou has a very meek and innocent expression, and seemingly studious habits, but alas ! it is all a great mistake ! She has planned various and sundry tortures for the initiation of unfortunate Sub-Seniors, she is cold and un- sympathetic to poor little Sophomores who are afflicted with crushes, and it has been rumored that most of the noise made at the Senior table is caused by this meek-looking person. She never studies if she can help it, but she has gained her reputation for studiousness by always carry- ing three or four books under her arm. Her roommate says she sleeps with the books, and it may be that she is tr3 ' ing to absorb their con- tents by physical contact. Her highest ambition is to raise chickens and roses, and we expect to see her diploma tacked on the front of the hen- house, or placed on a pedestal in her garden. Fannie Lou ' s chief fault is her everlasting good nature, even when she has a twenty-five page geology lesson, or a review in psychology, but there are hopes of her conquering that fault before the year is over. ti= Fay Wooldridge Texas T. W. C. A.: S. R. S. C. R.; Dixie Club. The Lone Star State has ever been an ardent patron of Belmont, and in sending her daughter, Fay, she feels that she has capped the climax of a long and brilliant record. In her native State this young lady has won fame riding bronchos in Buffalo Bill ' s side shows, and she often uses her accomplishment in this line in rounding up cattle on her father ' s ranch. She is (or has) a shining light in all her classes (on her finger), and when a certain letter does not come out of the West with train-like regular- ity, she wends her way infirmaryward and comes down pale and worn-looking, and languidly in- quires of her neighbor if she has heard from Joe lately, and if there was any news that she might be interested in. QUOTH THE SENIOR, ' NEVERMORE ' NEVER MIND IT! If you kive a girl in school, You ' re called crushes. as a rule. But don ' t lei it make you cool. cver mind it ! If you ' re feeling quite forlorn.

She became quite notable then ; and this year has been kept in public notice by the new regu- lations which she has tried to introduce into Belmont traditions, being satisfied that the list was not long enough. The principal one of these is that a regular dance hour on Sunday might be established, followed immediately by a card game and a feast. She knows this would not be popular with the girls, but as a tradition they would in honor obey it. We are sorry that she takes this way of making herself popular with Dr. Landrith and the teachers. Annie is a most ardent student of astronomy, and finds trouble in deciding which she admires most, the sun or the moon. She finds that on rairy days neither of these heavenly bodies appears.

You know her: she is Chief Barbar of the Bangs Club. She is also the girl who is so hard of hearing that even the rising bell fails to awaken her. and finally when she does gain the chapel it is with a surprised air that she gazes around and sees the monitors just returning to their seats. Late again and five off! You would naturally think from her usual disposition that her favorite song is Home, Sweet Home. Not so. At the end of each quarter her tune changes, and instead of the old standby it is. Oh. where, oh where, has my deportment marks gone? She would no doubt find out should she go both to Miss McElroy and Miss Wendel. Her motto is. ' VVhat ' s the use to worry, you are lioimd to come out on top. -And we firmly believe this.

Her responsibilities, as viewed from her own standpoint, would cause the busiest merchant who ever sold cranberries at 1 hankssiving time to blush with shame that he ever claimed to be busy. Elizabeth won fame last year in her short but brilliant career as Humpty Dumpty who sat on the wall, and his famous unstable equilibrium was so successfully imi- tated by Elizabeth as to bring tears to the eyes of all who witnessed the destructive downfall which even all the king ' s horses and all the king ' s men could not make amends for!

But this did not destroy her beauty nor lessen the love of her many friends. Special Diploma in English This blue-eyed maiden hails from the mountains of East Ten- nessee. Since her sojourn in Belmont she has become quite civil- ized. After she acquires her sheepskin in the merry month of May she expects to return home and startle the natives by apply- ing for a position to teach the mountain lasses there. Some day we think she will be a great missionary, for she has their cheerful smile (better watch out, Katharine, it is said, Laugh and grow fat ) and from her pleased expression we know that she is optimistic, and always looks on the bright side of life, even in her varied experiences as a college girl.

MiLDRKD SiDKHOTT Special Diploma m English iliLLiiKNT Els After a year of Kar-Katching, Mildred decided life was too tame for her, so she became a roll call catcher, so as to be right here in the college in case anything exciting (?) should happen. She has proven herself an nniisual girl in many respects, but chiefly in this: Although her home is just down the avenue, she has never once asked to be allowed to spend the day or week-end with her fond mater and pater. We do not know whether this is due entirely to her affection for Belmont and her studies, or her non-affection for friends and relatives. At any rate, she has shown herself to be a model student in so many other ways that we can overlook this small peculiarity. Special Diploma in Art Y. W. C. A.: S. C. S. K. K.: W. C. T.

A remarkable dis- co ery has been made, far surpassing in brilliancy and worth even the diamond mines of this fair and kicky state, in the person of Hazel E.

Miss Wilson came to Bel- mont two years ago, and as the place in every way stood for her high ideals, chose it for her Alma Mater. She is a yoinig lady of attractive personality, and might in popular slang be called a heart smasher, as she is at the present time exceedingly absorbed in her ' steenth crush. But the question has been raised whether she her- self does not suffer from heart Burns, as special delivery letters and photographs from the city often find their way to form No. i. and by her expression, both of face and vocabulary, interested spec- tators judge that her emotions are at any rate ecstatic.

Sometimes into tlie world there comes a great something that looms up seemingly from nowhere, scatters everything before it into order and vanishes on some prescribed path. So might be considere d the history of Eudora at Belmont, or even her passing down one of the corridors. Of course she ' s f tirtially human and has a few besetting sins, such as havitig-tli sweetest temper on earth. She never has been known to string a girl, and when she hears the expression she invariably opens her eyes wide and asks. What does ' to string ' mean? She spends most of her time evading the teachers, who insist that she must have at least the minimum hours of work. She never expresses an opinion on any subject — far be it from one so modest and retiring, nor does she ever study a second. Her motto, which perhaps explains her posi- tions, is.

Two very small feet projected from be- neath an immaculate white dress, and two chubby hands pulled at one little blue shoe. Johnson muttered something- under his breath. The baby started and lifted a pair of innocent, reproving eyes. Johnson coughed. I beg your pardon, he said, with an elaborate bow — then blushed. The baby continued to survey him in the same questioning way, and slowly a smile broke over the little round face. The man smiled too, and cautiously extended one big finger and touched the little soft hand. Five tiny, rosy fingers closed tightly over the one big brown one, and a friendship was beg n. Philip Johnson, of the University of ■ — , captain of the ' varsity football team, member of the fraternity, and a society favorite, was finishing the four years ' course in journalism. The college career had done little to change Johnson; he still possessed the same clean, good-looking face and boyish spirits. The four years had slipped quickly away, he had known a host of pretty girls, but the heart of Philip Johnson remained unscarred. On this evening, early in May, upon returning to the chapter house at eleven o ' clock, he found the first floor dark and deserted, save for the light in the smoking room. The front door was unlocked. Philip wondered at this a little, and set the night lock. Then he made his way through the dark hall to the smoking room. A rosy flood of light greeted him as he opened the door. The reading lamp cast its soft shaded light upon the baby in the easy chair. - Pinned to the hem of the child ' s dress Johnson found a note. He frowned hard over the round handwriting, while the baby tugged and gurgled at the button on his coat. Then he rushed into the hall and bounded up the stairs and into the room where the fellows sat smoking, some of them intent upon their books. He spread the note out on the table. His flushed and excited face caused them all to gather eagerly about the letter. Above the murmur of excitement and voiced curiosity, Johnson ' s voice read : ■ ' To the L Chapter of the Fraternity— Trusting in God and your manliness, I am asking you to see that my little son is well cared for. His father died two months before his birth, and I am obliged to go to work. His Mother. No one spoke, no one moved for a full minute. Then Dick Roberts broke the silence: Where is the son? he asked. Down stairs, in the smoking room, kicking and gurghng as if he were quite at home, answered Phil. Bob Davis cleared his throat; Bob always cleared his throat before he expressed himself on a matter of impor- tance. Let ' s have a look at him, he concluded. Down the stairs and into the room they filed, each sta- tioning himself at what he considered a safe distaiice. Philip Johnson alone approached the baby, and standing with one hand on the back of the leather chair, turned to face his fraternitv brothers. Something has to be done, he said, in his most matter of fact manner. Shall we call in the police and have it taken to some orphanage, or— and he paused, fingering the note nervously, shall we adopt it? Billy Lawson made his way from his stand at the door- way to ' Phil ' s side. He thrust his hands deep into his pockets and smiled down at the baby. Hello, son, he said cheerfullv. The babv gurgled back at him. and seemed to know that Billv was used to addressing chubby infants, and that he was the admired big brother of several roily polly Lawsons. Let ' s keep him, Billy added with enthusiasm; make a decent sort of man of him. you know, and th?n there ' s the note, and the dead father. Billy ' s suggestion was not greeted very favorably, for everyone began presenting objections and impossibilities. At last Richard Morriston became master of the situation, and silence again prevailed as he said : It ' s all right to talk of the youngster and his parents, but I think the idea of adopting him absurd. What would we do with him? Imagine us taking turns of prancing the floor with him at nights. Babies are all right in their place, but a frat house isn ' t exactly their place. Now I say call in the police, have him put in some home. We ' ll keep track of him, and see that he gets along all right, and has the right kind of care. Now what do the rest of you fellows think? A few voiced their approval, the rest remained silent, and among them Phil and Billy. Phil ' s lips tightened into the smile they wore on the gridiron, and he insisted that the little man himself should be consulted, so he asked — prin- cipally by gestures — if he would stay or go with the cop. The baby held out two little hands. Phil lifted him care- fully into his arms, he cuddled close to him, and his little soft fingers grasped his collar tightly. Phihp Johnson smiled a little apologetically at the faces before him. He says he is going to stay, Phil said softly. A week later the baby was legally adopted by the fraternity, christened John Hopper, and became (under the care of an experienced nurse) the most popular member of the chapter house. The house party at Billy Lawson ' s summer home was in progress. The weather had been ideal for tennis and boating, and the evenings cool for dancing. Billy ' s cup of joy was full to the brim and overflowing. It ' s a howling success, he said enthusiastically, as he adjusted his tie and turned to smile at the pretty IMrs. Billy, who had reigned as such for three blissful years. You see, he added boyishly, Phil and the baby are all that was needed to complete it. Smartest youngster I ever did see, and did you ever see such devotion? It was Saturday morning. Billy was up early and roaming about the deserted house. Philip Johnson and John Hopper, now a vigorous little chap of five, had arrived on a late train the night before. Billy had not seen either of them for two years. At nine o ' clock the house began to show signs of life, but Phil did not make an appear- ance. Then Billy did a very natural thing — sought the consolation of his wife. She was used to Billy, and fell in with his mood. He is a handsome little chap, and isn ' t he like Phil? she returned as eagerly, and smiled at Billy ' s broad shoul- ders as he stood looking down into the garden. There ' s Phil, he cried, leaning out of the window. Mrs. Billy was at his side, and they watched in silence the well built figure of Philip Johnson, pacing the narrow path among the roses. Down in the dewy freshness of t hat early summer morn- ing, among the rich beauty and sweetness of that world of red, pink, vellow and w ' hite roses, Phil Johnson was thinking of the evening, five years ago, when he had found the baby in the smoking room of the fraternity house. The stand he and Billy had taken met opposition on all sides, but soon after little blue-eyed John Hopper had smiled his way into every heart, and came to be the life of the whole house. Upon leaving college Billy and Phil accepted positions on the same paper, Billy working just for the pleasure it afforded him, but Phil working and pushing upward because it was his chosen work and meant his living. For three years they were together, then Billy was married, and Phil and the baby went east. Daddy Phil, the shrill little voice broke in upon his reveries, but he laughed as he tossed away his cigar and turned. Down the gravel path he came, a flying little figure in white knickers. Phil opened his arms, and he sprang into them, winding a pair of sturdy brown arms around his neck, and pressing his moist, red lips to Phil ' s tanned cheek. You tried to run away, didn ' t you, naughty man, but I founded you: he struggled in Phil ' s tight embrace, and demanded, Let me down. Daddy Phil! Now you ' member you said you ' d make whistles out of Daddy Billy ' s trees. Ain ' t you going to ? Phil didn ' t smile, instead he frowned. John, what do you sav to breakfast first, then I ' ll make big whistles, little whistles, any kind of whistles you want. John Hopper stamped his little sandaled foot and shook his black, closely-cropped head with determination. No, I likes whistles best before breakfast, he declared. Phil sighed and pulled out his knife. Then it ' s whis- ties, he said with equal determination, as he turned down the path and found, as he told Billy afterwards, a vision in white standing among the roses and looking as if she thought it a huge joke. Eh-h — what a pitty lady, shouted John, at the top of his shrill little voice. Don ' t she look like an angel lady. Daddy Phil? I likes white ladies with blue eyes, and he darted from Phil ' s side and stood looking admiringly up into Edith Hallard ' s face. And I likes nice little blue-eyed boys, too, she an- swered, patting his flushed cheeks ; and I am sure, she added, loking straight at Phil ' Johnson, that you are a nice little boy. Phil came forward, offering their apologies, and being rewarded by a flash of white teeth and a flush of her sensitive face. John Hopper and Phil Johnson forgot the whistles and the breakfast. Phil talked of himself and John, while the latter was content to hold tight to Edith Hallard ' s hand. All of the Lawsons ' guests had made their departure except Lady Langdon, her companion, Edith Hallard, Philip Johnson, and little John Hopper. Their departure was set for the following day. To Phil that June day seemed the shortest of his life. The sun seemed to fairly race across the sky, and slide, without warning, out of sight behind the blue green hills. The six of them had a quiet little dinner in the arbor at the end of the east terrace. John sat quietly through the meal, watching and listening to the light con- versation of the others. It was only after Mrs. Billy had given the signal to leave that he voiced the feeling that shone in his serious blue eyes. Daddy Billy, he said, catching at Billy ' s hand, I wish we could stay at your house always. Daddy Phil and I gets awful lonesome. We ain ' t got no Mrs. Billy, or no pretty white lady. It ' s jest Daddy and me when he ain ' t busy — when he is, then it ' s jest Foxies ' dog and me. John ' s little voice trailed off into a sob, and two big shining tears raced down his cheeks. Billy and Mrs. Billy gathered him into their arms and bore him away. Lady Langdon fol- lowed them. Phil watched them out of sight, then his eyes fell on the figure of Edith Hallardi. A strange light came over his face, and he started eagerly toward her. The face so lovely, so fascinating to him was turned half away, her dusky lashes were wet and drooped until they almost rested on her cheeks. Are you, too, crying because you are going away? he asked a Httle roughly. She did not raise her eyes as she answered him, and Phil ' s face softened at her voice. No, it ' s not that. I was thinking of another little boy, and wondering if he, too, were lonesome. Do you know John ' s life story ? Phil asked her softly. I know you are a good and noble man to care for a little orphan boy, she answered. Then Philip Johnson told her the story of The Frater- nity Baby, and as his voice died away in the fast falling shadows of night, he thought he heard a little muffled sob. He leaned toward her, trying to see the outline of her face, and then he knew that she was softly crying. Oh ! you are good, so very, very good, and don ' t think me wicked. I really loved him — more than you do, or ever can — he is my little baby, my own baby boy. I left him there because I knew some noble man would pity and care for him. She turned her face toward him and continued, I was married to Ralph Hallard against my parents ' wishes. I was only eighteen and Ralph twenty-one. His death came like a bolt from a clear sky. I was left almost desti- tute, and pride kept me from returning to my father. I became Lady Langdon ' s companion, and — you know the rest. Daddy Phil. They turned toward the sound, and standing in the door of the arbor where the first mellow rays of the rising moon fell upon him, they saw a little barefoot, white-robed figure. Phil lifted him tenderly into his arms and carried him to her — John ' s mother. She opened her arms and Phil gave him to her. Outside of the vine-covered arbor the moon climbed high in the sky, bathing the world in its rich mellow light. The gentle summer wind murmured among the leaves, the roses smiled and nodded their dewy heads, while high in her nest among the tree tops, the mother bird twittered to her little ones. John Hopper smiled. White lady, we ' re going to take you home with us — Daddy Phil and me is, he mur- mured, then he fell asleep in his mother ' s arms.

This was the announcement read in chapel everv dav for two weeks before the date, March 7. So started the most wonderful of all cotillions at Bel- mont. The cotillion girls did go to Middlemarch and thev made pink wisteria blossoms till some of them nearly had the pink-eye. But they were well repaid when, by Miss Greig ' s untiring enthusiasm and unceasing labor, they saw old Rec. Hall looking like a fairy bower with ropes of wisteria draped from the chandeliers to the top of each of the pillars and branches of peach blossoms around the bottom. Excitement ran high when the participants in the party began to assemble, and ohs and ahs of admiration or amusement were heard oyer each new costume as it ap- peared. ■ The costumes were indeed yaried and delightful, feas- ant girls from nearly every country were represented, as well as clowns, flowers, red cross nurses, Mary Janes, Puritans, tennis girls, and even French maids, and Mardi Gras figures. liss Alartha Hall Xewnian. as an Indian maid, was awarded first prize for having the prettiest costume. The prize was a miniature pair of dumb bells and Indian clubs, tied together with ribbon. Miss Nlarybelle Hill as a Dutch girl, and liss Frances illiamson, as a Scotch lassie, tied for second prize. The grand march was led ofl: ' by Miss Greig and Miss Parmalee, two Turks. After this the couples took their assigned places around the room and the fun began. The figures and favors were very prett) ' and artistic, showing- Miss Greig ' s clever ingeniousness and ability, as most of them were made bv the girls at her direction. As a special favor from ] Iiss Hood, the dancing- contin- ued till the late hour of ten o ' clock. Ir. Leftwich then took flash light pictures of the com- pany. — B. B. MID-YEAR COTILLION EXCESS LAUNDRY MAN It was Monday morning, recreation hall was crowded with busy girls, there was an unusual crowd in one corner, and I hastened over to see what the excitement could be. At first just a man ' s foot was all T could see, a man ' s foot in Belmont ! Could it be that a red necktie dude had entered these sacred non-man grounds, or had a Vanderbilt freshman ventured too far over the hill. The crowd around him grew larger and larger. Fearing that I should miss the excitement, T, too, pushed with the eager girls, nearer and nearer. First I saw a modest-looking black tie — a minister or pro- fessor, I thought, as I drew nearer. Suddenly the girl in front of me, with a sigh of relief, moved away, and I found myself face to face with ' ' The Excess Laundry Man. TUESDAY INFIRMARY GIRL The bell had pealed forth its mournful call that dreary Tuesday morning, and with pleasant thoughts of yester- day ' s holiday and Skalowski ' s pleasures we hurried to the beloved chapel, where so often we have wandered. At the foot of the stairs I met such a pathetic figure I was almost moved to tears. Could this pale, mournful little thing be tlie bright, attractive Belmont girlie that graced Fifth Ave- nue late yesterday afternoon. She looked upward with a sigh, and holding her side gasped, Middle Ages. It was then that T recognized The Tuesday Infirmary Girl. FROM MR. BRYAN ' S TALK AT BELMONT, FEBRUARY 18, 1911 I have known of ieHy those assem- It required no persuasion to bring nie your institution, and 1 am glad to visit e ' en br bled here. Circumstances largely direct our lives. We are never quite sure —women possibly less than men — just what environment will con- rrol the life. I believe in giving to women, as to men, an oppor- tunity for all the intellectual development that the individual will undertake. I am in full sympathy with you in all your aspirations and in all your undertakings. I found my wife in a boarding school. I believe in girls ' boarding schools. I am grateful to the girls ' boarding school for the training thai it gave my wife. T have testified to my interest in the girls ' schools. I have sent my two daughters to boarding school. I might say that this is a very beautiful gathering ! I might without stretching the truth or being suspected of insincerity state that it would be difficult to bring together in any part of the country or of the world a body of j ' oung ladies upon whom a young man would more gladly look. Yet I am not here to flatter you. because T l elieve that this is not the most beautiful period of life. I believe there are other periods of life where woman appears to better advantage. I never gave to my sweetheart such adoration as I did to the wife when she came to me bearing in her arms our first child. I have no wonder that the world loves the Madonna pic- tures. There is nothing that appeals to the heart of the man like the countenance of the wife who has become a mother. I want to assure any of you who may feel that you are in the heyda ' of your beauty and of your attractiveness that you have not entered yet upon the richest part of womanhood. It may be as the }-ears go by, the beauty that the young men rave about may be less apparent. There is no reason why it should not rather develop as the stars disappear when the sun rises, and this beauty of your girlhood, indescribably perfect as it is, be lost in the richer colors of the woman, who is developing life ' s possibilities and justifying her place in society. My wife is more beautiful to me today than she was when we were married. There is a work for women in this world, and it is not adver- tising a jewelry store or acting as a pattern for dressmakers. There is a work for woman besides being a billboard to advertise her husband ' s prosperity. Woman was put here as man was, for a purpose, and there is work enough for us all, and the world is full of evidence that woman can do her part as well as man can do his. You cannot set limits to the possibilities of service, you cannot measure what one can accomplish. All the preparation and sacrifice made to give you these advantages by those who founded the institution, by those who are your instructors, by those who sent you here — all this is just f or one purpose, and that is that you should be better prepared to do the work which lies before you. And no accomplishments that may make you shine in society will be sufficient to justify the neglect of that larger service that must as time goes on come within the reach of all of you. MERELY PERSONAL There is a college mate Jones, Who sure is a great one on tones; She strikes lowest C And might even take B, Except they ' d resemble some moans. There is a young lady named Wyckoff, Whose name is a hard one to take off; We ' ve tried hard to rhyme. But we ' ve lost all our time. So we ' ve just got to wind up and break off. There is a young lady named Beckwith. About whom this sure is no myth. That she hears from Winthrop Not just drop by drop. But almost as though he were kith. At Belmont ' s a lady named Kline, Who ' s a crusher from way down the line ; She ' ll crush one a while, Vvhile they are in style. Then drop them with never a pine. In school is a friend named Krell. Who rushes Louise pellmell. She has other crimes. Such as handing out limes To those she desires to sell. There is a young lady named Red, Who ' s named from the shade of her head; She sure looked a fright. And so did her Ike When hit by a car, and she thought he was dead. In Belmont ' s a lady named Bent, Whose affections on - X ' s spent, She wears high his pin And says he ' ll be kin, And he ' s left in her heart a deep dent. There is a young lady named Porter, Who on K. A. pins is a sporter, She ' s crazy ' bout men Who always wear ' em. And to dances she goes where she hadn ' t orter. There is a young lady named Hip, Who sure is our best at the dip. She ' ll dance it with Krell, With Floss or Rachel. And makes it look like ' twas easy to dip. There is a young lady named Floss Who some think is made of just dross. She wears hobble skirts . ' nd she ' s one who ne ' er flirts, . nd in fashions she ' s sure on the gloss. We have in Miss Crebs an aspirant About whom the teachers all rant. She ' s a shark in dear chem.. And outshines all of them. Who do as Lorene they just can ' t. There is a young lady named Major Who ' s a puzzle to all I may wager. We say she ' s odd and she ' s queer. E ' en peculiar, I fear, And still we don ' t quite seem to gauge her. In Lindsay we have our great leader. She thinks that we surely do need her To organize clubs .And to raise big hubbubs. But it takes all our time just to feed her. A demure little maiden once came To Belmont to win herself fame. She ' s Mar ' belle Hill And although she ' s no pill. To crushes she ' s sure caused a pain. SENIOR RECEPTION The scene is Rec.

SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS AT 3 P. M. By Miss McElroy (Ding ding on the bell. ' ) Please get ready for announcements! Eveo ' one turn around with her face the other way, scrape feet on the floor, rattle paper, converse with your neighbors, or keep on writing letters. I. There will be a lecture in chapel Monday afternoon from two to five o ' clock by Dr. Alexander. He will also render a few favorite tenor selections as a special inducement to any girl who is so frivolous as to imagine that she would rather go up town to Skalowski ' s. Attendance on this lecture will be entirely optional, but you will be called and held in chapel, and a strict roll call taken, and five demerits given to any girl absent. II. The Y. W. C. A. will sell Divinity fudge this afternoon at 3 :30 ; something new in the candy line, only 30 cents per half pound. This is a bargain, ladies, and you can ' t miss it. III. Miss Hood sends this announcement: Because the girls keep such refined quiet in the little hall south of the dining room, and because I have had such good reports from your chapel teacher about the ladylike and noiseless way in which you enter chapel at the one o ' clock roll call, you will be allowed to attend the Orpheum Theatre on Saturday night, April i, to see The Window at the White Cat, a play highly recommended in the Red Book this month.

The rules of not dancing in the corridors after light bell at night, not visiting on Sunday afternoon and of never speaking in chapel have been instituted by faculty at the petition of some of our earnest and studiously inclined girl ' s, among them Helen Hanley, Effie Gross, Louise Evans, Grace Kidd. and Marcia Paramore. These new ( ?) regulations will be rigidly enforced and observed, and anyone breaking one of them will be cordially invited to visit the Principals ' sanctum under the espionage of Miss Davis. V. These are the girls who will take seats on the rostrum Tues- day for constantly keeping up a conversation in chapel, cutting roll calls and practice, being insolent to teachers and slippin.g off to town unchaperoned : Stella Hayes, Pearl Boland, Mildred Utter- back, Mary Sue Wallace, Eva Jlilton, Agnes Weber and Ruth Her- vey. VI. The Student Volunteer Movement will have a meeting in chapel this afternoon for few minutes, to be sure not over two hours. A select glee club quartette, assisted by Salvation Army experts, will favor the student body with excruciating selections. Attendance optional. —A. H. J. They say at the gates of Hades, a watch dog stands so bold. They say at the gates of heaven, St. Peter guards the fold. But out at the gates of Belmont, in Nashville, Tennessee, A watchman guards the portals, and no matter what the fee, i or how many good credentials, nor who you want to see. He will not let you enter, if — a gentlemen you may be. S. L. and E. McC. Who ' s the prettiest girl in college? Who ' s the cleverest girl we know ? Who ' s the girl with a great deal of knowledge?

Miss Maxwell says she is anxious to see Shakespeare ' s Hamlet played, but has never had a chance to see a thorough master act it, and thus far her wish has not been gratified. We would recommend that she attend the Bijou on Friday, June 13, when Miss Hazel Wilson ' s celebrated company, with Tommy Allen as Ham- let, is scheduled to play, and we are sure that her ambition in this direction will be gratified and she will never again long to see this master- piece of our friend Bill. They have asked me to write a poem, And my mind is terribly blank; But it ' s up to me, now, to show ' em. Though I know ' twill be perfectly rank. Milady in Brown may be clever.

DEDICATED TO KATHARINE RUBLE I ' ve got a lovely corduroy, And I ' m just in the swim, Just very few h ' aint none at all, And I sure pity them. They can ' t have any fun these days; They ' re worse off than a prep. They never understand the joy My dress is every step. It clings and sticks and looks just swell, It creates lots of talk; Though it gives me little room to grow, I love it — cept when I walk. I wouldn ' t swap my corduroy For any kind of dress. I ' ll wear it days and nights and years, And love it none the less. — L. C. W. DEDICATED TO H. E. M. There is a young lady in school About whom more than one is a fool.

THE DISBANDMENT OF THE CLASSI- FICATION COMMITTEE Our considerate committee ' s disbanded; They couldn ' t seem to proceed, Each dear lady wanted her way. And the others would pay her no heed. At the last all-important meeting Each one ' gainst the other did rail ; When Dr. Landrith appeared on the scene There was lightning, thunder and hail. We decidedly approve the decision That we have no committee at all, For things were getting decidedly mixed And hair was beginning to fall. — R. N. CAN YOU PICTURE? Susie Porter without a frat pin. Eva Milton committing a sin. Pearl Boland breaking a rule. Louise Evans liking school. Helen Krell without her crush. Any Belmont girl ever ' ' flush. ' ' Marie Tremann cutting gym.

So change all your wishes with a sigh for what ' s lacked, For even at Belmont they can ' t — ' tis fact. BLUE TUESDAY Oh, that I were dead, and buried far beneath the sod, Far from Analytics, and the toils that make us plod, Far from Ethics lessons, and the grades we soon will get, Far from the heavenly bodies on which our thoughts were set ! Would that the green grass grew above, and the birds sang o ' er me; Oh, would that my sad heart were still, ' neath a weeping willow tree. Would that I were buried deep, where the school- bells never call, Where pianos never jangle, and where grades can never fall ! — L. S- P. Did you ever go to ethics on a bright, sunny day?

THE THETA WATER CURE Over yonder in Heronholm, About half-past nine last night, The Thetas broke loose in a wild stampede, That caused such an awful fright; Ma Pettus tore out of the bungalow And headed across the lot Like a nineteen eleven automobile With all of the cylinders hot. The screams continued, the yells kept up, And on Mrs. Pettus sped. While out of the windows hung the girls Clad gee, costume de bed. Then ma gave up the chase and came Back into the house, And between her peals of laughter said, Law, it was only a mouse. l ' envoi. It wasn ' t a rat and it wasn ' t a mouse ; Honest to goodness — sure — It was only a couple of Theta girls Giving Marie the water cure. THE STORY OF A BELMONT MAID Nashville had a little (?) school. With quite a bunch of maidens. And everywhere the poor girls went With teachers they were laden. They followed them to town Mon-day, This was a Belmont law; It made the dear girls very sad Not to flirt with lads they saw. And when to Skalowski ' s they ventured In their uniforms chic and brown, They couldn ' t even smile at him Without a teacher ' s frown. — E. L. B. A ROMANCE OF THE INFIRMARY Third Floor Founders, just to the right. Infirmary ' s open both day and night. Measles in there, and chicken pox, too, Girls that don ' t know lessons, and girls that do. Monday it ' s lonesome — girls in town; Tuesday a rush — they want to lie down ! Candy they ' ve eaten, and other things sweet. Girls are imprudent — won ' t be discreet. Complexions get bad — isn ' t that strange? They want to go home, just for a change. Too much practice — girls can ' t stand it. Cut down her work! parents demand it. Excused from church when Sunday comes ' roun ' . Has blues on Monday — can ' t go to town. Things in dining room don ' t suit to eat — Wants eggs and toast — not any meat. She eats in her room as long as she ' s able; Appetite ' s gone when she gets to the table. Teacher gets scared, goes for the nurse ; Doctor is called, lest she get worse. Doses she takes to make her eat ; Though she dislikes ' em — both eggs and meat. From beginning to end the same every year; Girls can ' t help it, but it does look queer. Bad off of a morning, and well so quick. It may be the truth, but it looks like a trick. Vak Lester. A LITTLE DITTY ENTITLED WHO IS IT; OB, DO YOU KNOW HER?

Well you may Stay in till half past three. And on the morrow you may come And on the rostrum sit, Then we shall see if for this thing I can ' t some cure-all hit. And now the girl who spoke to you, I wish her to come here. No one comes ! Miss X was talking To herself? H ' m, that ' s not clear. And so it goes from morn till night, And never is she still, Except from i to 6 a.m. She sleeps again until The bell rings out at 7 :05 Again she ' s in her place. I may not know your name, but I ' m Familiar with your face. But when the last two rows of girls File out at half-past three, This chapel teacher changes quite Her personality.

FOR OUR HERO $• ftto '  lc HtsIkicIc It chanced on George ' s birthday, We all were full of joy, For we had great hopes of a day To honor the Old Boy. We all came down to roll call, How eager we did wait, But not the least allusion To this historic date. But lo, we sat right down again On this good holiday, And all day long the bells they rang. And we in school did stay. At nine o ' clock we came to school. Our hopes were still up high. But when this silence was maintained We heaved a doleful sigh. We thought that this might ease our pai Our country ' s hymn to sing; We all arose to chant the song, Loud did our voices ring. We wired to Dr. Landrith, No answer did we get, But Miss McDonald still maintained That man will wire us yet. So at the evening roll we heard A telegram had come.

I wondered what the terrible offense had been — probably a dance at some Vandy Chapter house or a dinner at Luigart ' s unchaperoned — surely it must have been something terribly wrong, some sacred Belmont tradition had been broken. A long yellow tape measure gave me a clue, and when I moved closer I dis- covered that the girl was one of those hor- rible un- Belmontesque creatures who had worn a dress two inches and one-eighth from her collar line, when she knew that two inches and two inches only was the limit. — E.

' ' i((t ' B t :k ' ,,« B li HM B B H m ii _ AT THE ART RECEPTION THE STORY OF A GULF STORM Chapter One. ' A snapping breeze had sprung up over the Gulf, and the water, hitherto calm and oily, was now broken into tiny blue wavelets with crests of frothy white. Several silver-lined clouds appeared on the horizon and started hurriedly across the sky, a s if to escape from this journey in the blue glare as quickly as possible. The water accordmgly changed color, and their reflections shone in the daintiest of opaline tints. Earlier in the day the atmosphere was sultry, and now the breeze had developed into a full-grown wind, keen, cool, and invigorating. Suddenly the sun ' s rays lit on a yellow racing boat, shaped long and oval, just emerging from the mouth of a bayou into this arm of the Gulf, called Callieu Bay. There were two men seated m It, one at the wheel steering, and the other leaning back in the most comfortable chair smoking. Now, this is something like! the recumbent one exclaimed, stretching his somewhat lengthy frame as far as the cabin of the boat would permit, and settling back to enjoy the scene at ease. Give me the open water every time. Here there are no muddy banks closing a fellow in to prevent his seeing further than ten feet, and even then those blooming oak trees with their gray beards were so grisly— I for one would advise the old gentlemen to change their tailors. Me, I always was a modest, retiring sort of chap, and the moss-beard idea doesn ' t suit my style. Too thinly woven, you know. He puffed seriously at his pipe, noting all the while the exasperated hump in his companion ' s back. Really, you can see — Cut it, Dick, and go pour some more oil on that small fly wheel. You ' ve talked a blue streak ever since we got in here, and It s time you were making yourself useful. Be careful with your oil, there. Skip! went the little motor. Don ' t do it so fast She s skipping worse now. If anything serious were to happen way He kept his anxiety to himself, however, and began to tinker with the machinery near him, while his friend poured oil over the back of the boat in general. • J ' ' ! ' ' ' ' picked its way in and out of the tortuous passes with the ease and grace of a yellow serpent. This was sea-marsh, and the small islands rose up around them everywhere, with trails of glimmering blue dividing them. Some glided up from the water and stretched out lazily into the sun, others were merely green faiolls, pretty islets, each with its beach-girdle of dazzling sand and shells, and all radiant with the foliage of orange or magnolias. Once they came up unexpectedly on an oasis, covered with tawny grasses. On the tips of the grass stalks were things like husks— wheat-colored husks— large, flat, and laid evenly along the lee-side of each swaying stalk, so as to present only their edges to the wind. The motor ' s exhaust coughed sharply, and suddenly the pale husks detached themselves and rose in the air to flutter away by hun- dreds and settle down further off, and turn into wheat-colored husks once more — a whirling flower-drift of sleepy butterflies! Skirting Grande Terre, the most beautiful island in the Gulf they passed through Grande Pass and then they met with disaster. As they left the Pass a small, curiosly shaped cloud pushed its head up over the rim of the sea. It was followed by several others, nsing at first like fleecy cotton, then molded together by the impelling wind into a huge black ball. The air became sultry again, the wavelets that had so joyously slapped against the sides of the boat a few minutes before, now hid themselves in their mother ocean, and the little yellow thing was rocked and tossed in the oily swells. A sharp, jagged streak of light in the threaten- ing mass overhead and the instantaneous peal of thunder awoke the men to a realization of their danger. They hurriedly turned the boat and began the race with the rain for the Pass. The wind increased in violence until it was blowing a stiff gale, and the sea became a seething mass of waters. Through the Pass they scurried and were headed for Grande Terre, when the motor gave a report like that of a pistol and with one despairing gasp stopped entirely. Both men stood up. but the rain was upon them, and deliberately taking matter? Into its own hand, beat them down furiously into the bottom of the boat. A huge wave caught the slender craft playfully into the air, leaving it suspended for one breathless moment, then down it came, wallowing in the trough. Surely they would be capsized if this continued, and the men huddled as much out of the way of the rain as was possible in their scanty cabin and waited, fearfully. They could feel the boat tossed and whirled aimlessly around and around and with no seeming progress in any direction. Suddenly it gave a leap, rode to the top of an enormous breaker, and was cast easily up on a sand bar. The men jumped out, pulled up the boat, and looked about for shelter. Chapter Two. The island was bleakly uninteresting, a wilderness of wind-swept grasses and sinewy weeds, waving away from the thin beach, speckled with drift and decaying things — worm-riddled timber and dead porpoises. In front of the beach, behind some puny scrub timber was an old ' dobe hunting camp, hermetically closed as to doors and windows, and seemingly deserted but for the thin smoke arising from the chimney. The two men hurried up to the house and knocked. The door was opened for them by a very old man — perhaps over seventy. He gave them one astonished look from his half-blind old eyes, then hurried them inside, shut the door and ceremoniously gave them chairs by the fire. The camp was a two-room affair, and this seemed to be the general living room. In front of the door was a large fireplace, about six feet wide and nearly as high. A kettle was hung on a rod between the big andirons, and at one side was an old-fashioned spit. The furniture of the room consisted of a long, narrow cot on the left and a bench and rack for hunting paraphernalia on the right. Several cane bottom chairs and a table completed the fur- nishings. The old man hurried across the room and called, Adele! Adele ! Messieurs have the col ' inside? Mais, out — it iss the wind an ' rain thad iss bad by a possou. The damp id makes not ' in bud col ' , col ' , col ' . I know. I been by dis place one long tim ' . Mais, id ' s the storm whad cain ged not ' ings to move dis house, messieurs. Dis house, id is one ver ' strong house. His old gray head nodded knowingly, and he also sat down by the fire. Before the men could say a word of explanation as to their plight a very beautiful girl came into the room and immediately kneeling before the tire began to prepare coffee in two tin cups. It was very hot and black with no adulterations whatever. The girl ' s appearance was hardly one to be passed over without comment or wonder. She was a dainty, slender thing with bright golden hair and blue eyes, about eighteen years of age. She moved quickly, and seemed utterly unconscious of the men ' s presence. After the tin cups, steaming with black coffee, had been placed in the stran- gers ' hands, she slipped quietly out of the room, and there was silence for a few moments. Then the lengthy Richard ' s curiosity got the better of him. The er — young lady. Is she — your daughter? he inquired awkwardly of his host. Adele ? My lill ' gal ? I mais, no. Now, now, messieur ! exclaimed the old man. Then his face grew grave, and he puffed long and solemnly at his pipe. The storm was still raging, and the boom of the breakers kept up a hollow cannonade, but inside this staunch old camp the men felt secure. You are interest, oui? the old man said suddenly, peering at them. Mais, I will tell you by a story ' boud such storm whad cam ' by Lass ' Isle. Id was one mos ' terreefic storm, yass. He very carefully refilled his pipe. Now, why, thought Richard, can ' t he be nice and tell us about Miss Adele? Even storms grow monotonous at times? But the story the old man told in his broken English, and with his expressive gestures was so absorbing that the ground outside was almost dry when the two men at last drew back their chairs from the fireside. This is the story as Richard afterward told it in his New York home. Across the Pass was Last Isle, in its day as famed as Grande Terre at present. It was a summer resort, patronized by very ex- clusive New Orleans society. There was a beautiful hotel, a massive two-story structure with many apartments, and a large dining room and dance hall. It was the height of the season. The long myrtle-shadowed village was thronged with its summer visitors, the bathing houses were crowded with people who flocked to the water morning and evening. The hotel could hardly accom- modate its guests. At the end of July the weather was perfect. For weeks no cloud had broken the warm blue of the hea vens ; the days were born in rose and buried in gold. Then one great noon, when the blue abyss of sky seemed to yawn bluer than ever, a change touched the waters. The horizon curve lifted to a line — an immeasurable wrinkle of green water that approached nearer and nearer, until it curled itself out in sheets of foam as it reached the beach, with a low whisper of thunder. It was followed by another and then another — they were scarcely two feet high — then all was still. Minutes passed and the heaving re- commenced with renewed vigor. Then the swells became shorter, and the whole sea from horizon to shore was one continued heaving. Yet there was no wind, no cloud, nothing but the restless tossing of the sea. The sun that evening set under a rose-tinted bridge of vapor that arched the sky from one side to the other. With the last golden ray the cloud-bridge trembled, swayed and slowly swung open to the wind ! For a week the Vind blew a steady gale, bringing with it breakers twice the height of a man. On the ninth of August it changed. It ceased being a breath and became a voice, moaning and hooting, uttering weird night owl sounds across the world. That night the breakers began to roll up the sand slopes and into the salines, flooding the village bayou. The tenth of August dawned in a gray gloom and a flood of whistling rain. The weekly mail steamer failed to make its appearance, and the men who had struggled to the beach to look for it returned to the hotel with a haunting fear on their faces. Many of the villagers had hurried to the hotel for safety, as cottages began to rock, chimneys trembled, shutters were wrenched off, roofs were battered to ruin. Trees bent their heads to the earth, and still the storm grew blacker and louder. Towards evening someone suggested a dance. Silks and satins were donned, fear was laid aside in the nervous merriment of the dance. The music was irresistible, and on and on they danced, oblivious to the Wind who was slowly veering from northeast to east, from east to southeast, from southeast to south. He came whirling all before him in his mighty arms I Someone shrieked, water flowed in thin streams over the polished floor. What could it be? All the land began to quake. The building shook. What could it be? There was a panic as the dancers rushed to doors and windows to confront roaring billows reaching up to their very feet, and in the ghostly hush that followed the first terrified cries, there grew a fearful sound rolling up from the south — more horri- ble than the thunder of an earthquake. There were boats, yes I But no human being could reach them now I There arose a hoarse, sickening cry as the selfishness and the brutalities of panic raged. Men wrenched down doors, some clung to sofas, others to billiard tables, during one awful moment — then — then came the giant swells thundering through the blackness. One crash — the frame building rocks and sea-saws. Another — the chan- delier is splintered — a cataract hurls itself into the place and the immense house rises, swings about as on a pivot, and crumbles into a seething billow. One more crash — and where a beautiful village once stood is now a deep sea channel. So passed the storm, ever leaving in its wake ruin and desolation. The next morning a fisherman came from his hut (the only one left standing on his island) and found half buried in the newly formed sand bar a billiard table with a basket strapped to it. In the basket wrapped in blankets lay a little girl of two years. He hurried with her to his wife and together they worked over the little from till the eyehds fluttered up and disclosed big blue eyes, and the roses came again into the smooth sea-wet cheeks. Weeks passed, and the baby who called herself Adele could not be iden- tified. The Creole fisherman wished to keep the child, and this he was allowed to do. She had grown up strangely out of place in this poverty and desolation. But that is all, messieurs I the old man exclaimed. The sun was shining, and all traces of the storm had disappeared as quickly as they had come. The two men reluctantly departed after thanking their host for his hospitality and his help with the broken motor. . Not a word was spoken by either of them until they skirted the Pass and brought up alongside an acre of sand thrown up out of the sea, and adorned with only fine old oak trees, fine stooping figures in line against the horizon, hke fleeing women with streaming gar- ments and hair— thrusting out hands desperately to keep themselves from falling.

The funeral services of All Belmont Priv- ileges was held by the faculty, Friday, March Si- Misses Brown and Hervey are now holding Sunday school classes at the conservatory every Sunday morning. All friends invited. The proper style of wearing spring hats is now being demonstrtaed in the Belmont milli- nery department by Miss McDonald and her model. Miss Boatner. Misses Hood and Krell are now suing the Belmont Annual for six pair of shoes worn out and digestion lost at Luigart ' s during the recent annual mix-up. In order to give Misses Hanley and Rose- borough a rest from their arduous work of the past few weeks. Miss Hood invited them to spend a few days with her. SOCIETY NEWS Mrs. Foster, accompanied by her friend, Miss Montgomery, from Mississippi, have been visiting Miss Hood for the past few days. After spending a few hours with friends in Fidelity Friday night, Miss Rachel Neil was accompanied home by Miss Davis. The girls of First Floor Founders are at home to their many friends from 7 to 10 p.m. — E. L. B. FRESHMAN CLASS The Classification Committee was surprised last fall by the large number of girls who wished to take Analytics. Psychology, Shakespeare, and Geology. Upon investigation it was found that almost the entire Freshman Class was aspiring to these subjects, and they were very much dis- appointed when faculty gently but firmly in- sisted on their taking first-year Algebra, begin- ning Latin, and other subjects to correspond. Since then, however, they have admitted that perhaps it was best that they did not take Senior subjects. Their chief aim and ambition is to advance to the dignified place of Sophomores, when they will be able to look down from their height on other green Freshmen. SUB-SENIOR You wonder why we look so sad. So weary seem to be; But still you know there ' s trig and lab, And then there ' s EngHsh C. We finished Caesar long ago, And all of Cicero, too; And when we ' ve mastered chemistry In one more year, we ' re through. We ' ve worked and worked for all these years With many a jar and rub; But next year we can truly say We seniors! minus sub. — Pauline AxTEttBURY.

BELMONT DAILY NK-WS LOCALS AND PERSONALS OF JUNIOR LIVE WIRE We hear that Miss Marybelle Hill has recently secured a position in darkest Africa as chief Bible leader of the heathen. We were horrified at the revelation of a yellow streak in Dorothy. She resigned from the geom- etry class before the last quarter. Esther proclaims that she hasn ' t got a crush, but — well I guess it ain ' t no harm for to hug and kiss your cousin. Martha Hall ' s interest in the Phi Delta Theta house is becoming alarming. We hesitate to say what will be the outcome of Mr. Pete Howell ' s departure. QUERY BOX Will some one please tell me who is respon- sible for the conversion of Stella Hayes in the kissing line? Country Boy. The answer to this question is personified in seat 13. form 13, and the conversion took place on Friday, January 13. What was the attraction at Mt. Pleasant which proved so great that Miss Warnock found it impossible to remain at school? This is an exceedingly personal subject, but we advise you to look on the first, last and in- cluding pages of Miss W ' s diary. Being very much encouraged by my mathe- matics teacher, I desire to know if there is any large university which is at present in need of a geometrical architect. Zetta E. Jones, Texas, U. S. A. We strongly advise you to stick to Miss Cason, and not venture forth on uncharted blackboards. Why did Miss B-Jtler stay under the table so long the night before April fool? Was she absorbed in a book of Roman history? This is one of our family secrets, therefore e hesitate to reveal it. What ' s the matter with the Juniors of ' 11? They ' re all right, ready for heaven — the senior class. YE EDITOR ' S QUERY BOX Dear Editor: When shall I go home? Sincerely, Helen K.

THE FOUR-LEAF CLOVER You know you ' re nice, dear little clover, Then what ' s the reason why You hide and let us walk right over Your four green leaves so shy? Your answer, There is many a reason Why I hide from thee; One is, if I ' d come every season You would not look for me. So I hide more than any flower, That ' s why you like to pluck. And when you find me in your .bower My four leaves bring you luck. — M. V. E. WHEN SPRING IS CALLING When April skies blend gold with blue. And wand ' ring you would be ; It is the Springtime calling you, From glen and hill and sea. When shadowy wings sweep o ' er the fields And perfumed odors too ; The drowsy murmurs softly steal. When Springtime ' s calling you. When robins sing and blue-jays call, And all the world is fresh with dew; Obey that call, which always falls, When Springtime ' s calling you. IRREGULAR THINGS The long hall was dark, save for the soft light of the moon, which was coming in at the latticed windows, and all was still save for the sighing of the midnight breeze as it rustled softly through the new green leaves of the trees. The clock had barely struck twelve when at the end of the hall was seen coming a long row of white-robed figures, silently, ghostly„ and with some evidently un- seen purpose. The spell could not last, a board squeaked, and they tumbled ungracefully into the big room at the end of the hall — twelve lacey, beribboned little creatures, laughing, pushing and kick- ing in this moment of wild, uncontrollable glee. With sudden silence they went about the big room, and in a short time all was ready. By the light of two little candles and the rays of the dying moon they sat, with hands and mouths very much occupied, eating and talking to their hearts ' content. Suddenly the air became charged with a great -importance ; some unknown presence seemed to be there, something intangible, but distinctly felt. There, cried a golden-haired angel rising to her bare feet and shrinking back in an attitude of evident fright. No more was needed, for all had seen the silent, swaying figure that seemed to cling to the foot of the bed, waving there, as it were, gently in the breeze. What are you doing, said a vacant voice, and the figure ad- vanced a step or two. A little elf with dark hair and daring eyes said : We are irregu- lars, and are having a feast tonight, at least some of us are — the ' game ' ones. And do you irregulars go to school regularly, graduate, and then know a great deal? continued the voice. Oh, we never graduate, cried the elf delighted; we are just here, you know. We have a great many studies, but they are not connected — nothing follows anything, but we are awfully smart. ' That would kill me, said the voice; you, everyone, must come with me at once. With you, they cried with terrified voices; where to? To the land of decision, where you start at the beginning and finish at the end. There now, you irregular, said the shadow, you are even starting at the wrong end of that sandwich. The angel dropped it and looked up startled. A gust of wind came, the candles went out, the moon shone in — a big red balL It was strange, uncanny, but true ; it was the end of nothing. Flower: Blue-bells. Chief Quietus. Miss Hood.

V i THE TRANSFORMATION I have to go to Faculty, A fair young maid exclaimed; But really I don ' t mind at all, In bold tones she proclaimed.

Lie Edda — Speak not so, ' Tis not foul play, ' Tis .but the goodly interest of one Wishing to promote thy beauty. O, thou dame fashion, Where hast thou made a goodlier style. Mary — Hark, the sound!

See what thou hast done. My Princess. Yea, she is ruined! Barber Miller — Ha! Ha! Not ruined. Behold the beauty of her bangs, See how they cling to her lily brow. Then, canst thou say — ruined?

Be sure to hang your coats and hats on the hatrack in the hall back of chapel, as it presents such a decorative effect. It is very advisable to cut all roll calls, as 3 ' ou need that time between classes to study. When Miss McElroy dismisses forms one and eight, form fourteen is expected to rise immediately and rush out, as this has been repeatedl3 ' requested from the rostrum. Never attend chapel services but take your lunch into the college parlors, as it is especially desired that the da3- students feel at home in the college. At 1 o ' clock alwa3 ' s come into the chapel talking- and proceed to make as much noise as possible, as the day students have been granted this privilege b3 ' Miss McElroy. Never address the envelope for 3 ' our reports, as the college is only too glad to accom- modate the day students.

They are smiling slyly at you. Rostrum chairs all scratched and crippled by hard use. Neither whisper nor a smile brew. For ] liss McElroy will spy you. And straightway demand in stern tones, While the rythm of your heart beats Will tune with her reproof beats, Take a seat — be an example for the rest. ' Oh ! the tales those chairs could tell her, Oh ! the anguish would impel her. To relent and make more modern chapel rules ; But the row of chairs behind her Smile and seem to find her Chief promoter of their popularity. Perhaps in years to follow. And before our cheeks are hollow. We will see those rostrum chairs in ruins lay; We will gloat and jeer and jest them, Laugh and cry aloud, Your just end. Rostrum chairs all scratched and crippled by hard use. — M. R. B. WE DONE IT. BUSINESS MANAGERS ' SOLILOQUY AT IIP. M.

Every urban advantage combined with privacy and quiet. Thirty-Four States represented in this year ' s attendance alone, nearly twenty per cent coming from the A ' orl i. While Belmont is essentially Southern in fact, it is national in character and spirit, affording students from all sections the inestimable benefit of association and friendship with other representative young women of the whole country. Twelve Schools, including all branches of Music, Art. Domestic Science and Home Economics, Expression and Physical Culture, besides the various Academic Schools, each presided over by trained specialists whose ruling passion is teaching.
