After graduating from college you will seek a foreign shore in order to have a larger scope. Fitting through the Old World, you will visit Switzerland. Upon the topmost peak of the Matterhorn you will meet an Alpine shepherd, and charmed by his unsophisticated philosophy, you will marry him upon the spot; and evermore upon the icy pinnacle of the Mat- terhorn in the midst of silver-lined clouds you will live the “simple life.” ZELLA KeELLY—You are impetuous, and your joints of philosophy are well-developed.

Mary Gray—You are partial to Lehigh because you enthusiastically ad- mire the Brown Ells on Lehigh pillows.

AIMEE CONANT— There’s a prim little maiden named Aimee, Who likes little boys, just the samey ; And they'll line up some day In fine battle array, While she chooses Jack, Willie or Jamie.
