It surely has faults, but we can not be benefited now by criticism, since this is our only Annual, Alpha and Omega. Please tell next year’s Seniors, so that they may profit by our shortcomings. Although we can not boast to rival Shakespeare at any literary effort, we confess ourselves to be furthest removed from that renowned dramatist in the matter of “never repeating,” when we en- deavor to pen a foreword. There must be the proverbial apology lest “we spirits have of- fended;” and the customary plea that the optical apparatus of the readers be reduced to a state of utter blindness, and, if this be impossible, that they peruse our volume with vision dimmed by Dan Cupid and his crew. Speaking, then, in the language of all fore- words to College Annuals, “We have tried to give you a picture of our college life, painted to amuse, not to instruct. May you read with the eyes of love and be blind to our faults.” VETERROPT t DEDICATION O tKe Boys in K.liaki in acknowledgment our great indebted- ness to tkem for tkeir noble service and sacrifice, we, tbe class of nineteen hundred and eighteen, with love, admiration and respect, dedicate this vol- ume of the Veterro t.

Much sought after to fill positions of responsibility and trust — and not a scheming politician. Yes, Marion is one of our girls whose char- acteristics we can mention with pride and whose virtues we can praise with a superlative; but with it all, she is just the same all-round girl whom all the students and teachers love, admire, and respect. There is an elegance and re- finement in her manner and a beauty in her smile which alw ' ays captivates one. S ZIDA ADAIR, A.B. Columbus, eorgia.

Who does not remember the timid voice apologetically waking you from a blissful Sunday snooze with an “Aren’t you going to Sunday School this morning?” Mattie is a perfect adept in the use of the “Palette and Brush,” and it is inevitable that her paintings will some day adorn the Hall of Fame. Her bewitching dimples bear evidence that ere her startled eyes opened upon this world, the angels stooped and kissed her; but a look into her mischievous eyes convinces us that we heed some proof that she has had such close connection with the angelic host. She is sympathetic and lovable, sincere and original. i VETEI3130PT t MARGARET COOK ATKINSON, A.B.

Margaret entered Wesleyan greatly handicapped by the unconcealed expec- tations of the faculty that she would sustain the brilliant records made by the two sisters who had preceded her. Little did this drawback trouble her freshman soul, however. She had her own ideas about how to manage a col- lege career, and she forthwith proceeded to execute them. She has always got- ten what she started after — be it a basket-ball victory ' or a Senior privi- lege. Her ready wit has made her con- spicuous at class and college functions, and her loyalty, which is as true blue as her eyes, has won for her a world of friends. o VETERROPT mrz ANDROMACHE PORTER TAY- LOR BAILEY, A.B.

Now that we have given you an introduction, we sadly inform you that you can never hope to know her, for she is a creature made up of surprises.

Being the head of this crew of college girls, everyone watches out for her. However, this does not mean that she is a tyrant from whom all flee. We are glad to say that she is liked by all, admired by most, and enjoys a lion’s share of popularity among faculty ' and students. Ray has a peculiar affinity for vocal strains at the midnight hour and can be pleased any time by ‘‘A Long, Long Trail.” Most people have a deep aflFection for brothers and sisters, but Ray has an unusual fondness for the “Little Sister.” A real love for hu- manity is not surprising in a preacher’s daughter, but Ray possesses this quality to such a degree that she could easily become a wonderful P.

It seems to take absolutely no eflfort for her to “do and say the kindest thing in the kindest way.” By her cheerful, gentle manner she wins friends wherever she goes ; and when it comes to being a friend, she can not be beat. We can not think of Jes- sie without thinking of loyalty to school, class, and friends. We know that wherever her path may lead in the fu- ture it can not but be filled with sun- shine, for that is what she always car- ries with her. a i VETEPPOPT I MARY LILLIAN BASS, A.B.

We envy her for her golden curls, we admire her for her fairness; we love her for her dear jolly self. Perhaps her se- rene nature is sometimes ruffled, but if so, her camouflage is a screaming success. Her big blue eyes seem the embodiment of angelic innocence, but — “Alas, it is delusion all !” See the incomparable collection of “Ads” in the back of this volume and you must realize that a w’ealth of hard, every-day, business sense lies behind that entrancing baby stare.

At first sight of her on one September morn in 1915, we felt like asking the question, “Are there any more af home like you?“ But we re- frained from putting such an imperti- nent interrogation, remembering that time would tell. So it has, not time alone, but time and closer acquaintance have told us emphatically that she is in- deed “The Only One.” Not since time immemorial has “The Wesleyan” had such an “Editor-in-Chief,” nor Exec such a member, nor the Philosophy Class such a bright and shining light, nor the M9 Historians such a sympathetic fel- low sufferer, nor a Senior class such a small, but significant little person within whom is embodied the sum of noble qualities such as wit, intelligence, sar- casm and love for teachers (more prop- erly termed capacity for boot-licking). p J S 4, r I i T i f A j HILDA BLOUNT, A.B.

She is always the fun of the crowd, yet she is not all fun. She has her serious moods that re- sult in kind deeds for others. If you do something for her, you may be as- sured that she will cherish kind thoughts always. To know her well is to love her dearly. Her best friends might easily think of her in connection with the dainty fragrance of the flowers. Hilda is a composite being of kind words, thoughts, and actions. ? i VETERROPT V 4 .

She is known as “the poet of all poets,” because she not only writes songs that stir the emotions, but she thinks, speaks and lives in poetic terms. To look at her face, one would hardly read in the smile and in the twinkling eyes, that poetry is not her chief ambi- tion. The secret can not be read. Win her love, and you will find that she is preparing to become an assistant aviator. With such an assistant as she is to ac- company an aviator over the German line, would certainly mean “Vici!” elec- trically intensified, for this is her nature whether by actual flight or by song.

She entered Wesleyan in the fall of ’13, and since then her little “Hup” has been a familiar object on the landscape, parked across the street from the main entrance. She is quite accomplished, having studied both expression and music, in addition to regular work. However, she is very modest, and it is only with difficulty that she can be per- suaded to perform in public. Adelle has especially enjoyed her Se- nior year, having only a few subjects, and those rather “snaps.” Her most treasured memory is the Geology field trip taken one day soon after Christmas when we were having such record- breaking winter weather (so warm, you know !) t V ETERROPT V ALLIE JEFF DOSTER, A.B.

We had always thought that she would cover herself with glory in the realms of music; but early one morning in January she surprised us by being the first from our student body to stand the civil service exam, and later by declar- ing that she hoped she would be of- fered a position in Honolulu. Such a remark comi ng from the vice-president of Y. W. C. A., the secretary of Stu- dent Government Association, and the girl that ran Ray Ballard a close second in the contest for the most sensible girl at Wesleyan, seems unusual, doesn’t it? But honest, she’s all right, just loves travel and adventure and when Uncle Sam gets her, he may well pat himself on the back. GENIE AMANDA FINCHER, A.B.

There are no words to describe Genie. If every adjective descriptive of good- ness, honesty, sincerity, and conscien- tiousness were applied, the picture would still be hopelessly inadequate. She burns the midnight oil, then gets up before day to study. No detail es- capes her observant eye or her irre- proachable memory. You have heard of those creatures who have the happy faculty of making themselves absolutely necessary to a class and school. We could not be without Genie; and can not conceive of Wesleyan being without her. 3 i. VETERROPT MARY NAOMI DIGGS, A.B. Alulbcrry, Florida, Entered Fall 1915. ‘Hold the fort!

What it takes to shine in “P7,” “M7 ’ etc., Lois hap- pens to have it. “A maid demure,” she seems when first you know ' her, but clrser acquaintance proves that ‘‘she seems what she ain’t, and ain’t what she seems;” for her room-mate recently con- fided to ye scribe that the subject of this article had just taken it upon herself to administer a lecture — to be more defi- nite, a “blessing out.” For fear ye gen- tle readers will misconstrue the above, we will explain that our meaning is, that it is far removed from Lois to be any kind of a “back-sitter,” for she has plenty of the kind of real “pep” which always gets one there. k ■ VETERROPTT i RUTH BAILEY HOUSER, A.B.

Ruth prepped at Fort Valley High, and came to us stocked full of pre-col- lege knowledge. She has been afflicted with a double, since the first day she landed, and the marked resemblance of the “sin-twisters” has proved a bane and a blessing to both. Her adventures have been varied and interesting. She has perpetrated such little misdemeanors as making a graceful and untimely exit from Prof. Hinton’s entertaining Math class through one of the windows, hold- ing a responsible and hair-fading posi- tion on the “Wesleyan” staff, but has held the esteem of the entire student body, despite these small favors. a { VETERROPT ELIZABETH HUDSON, A.B.

Elizabeth Hudson, otherwise known as “Super-Six,” and several other pet epithets which I dare not include, proves that Shakespeare was wrong and that there is a whole lot in a name, for she is indeed a “Super” and then some, in every respect. She, as one of those Methodist preacher’s daughters, has seen life in various and many places and declares that her highest ambition, after excellently playing the role of the for- tunate few who live through four years at Wesleyan without losing their sweet and lovable disposition, is to at least find out what a “sedentary life” is. — Elizabeth has alw ays declared that she is ping to teach school for a year any way, just to prove that she can (since there are many rumors to the contrar ’). Her favorite song, a parody, is: fV hat ' s the use of marry in f It never uas uorth while. So try a single life instead. And smile, smile, smile But who thinks she means it?

Beth was the pioneer e pluribus unum of the Wesleyanites (their name is Legion) who hail from Thomson, Georgia. She has proven to be such a worthy representative, both of Wesleyan and of Thomson, that each year she has led a still larger number of her towns- women to seek knowledge within these historic walls. She is of a scientific turn of mind; but the truth is that she seems capable of having any turn desirable, and to feel at home at any task which she encounters. She does not believe in camouflage; so she is one of the (dis-) honored few in the class of 18 who are not taking the course leading to State license to become a pedagogue. Thus, she does not try to conceal the fact that her ideal for a joyous future has more of a domestic atmosphere than a schol- arly.

There’s a light of love in her eyes, a smile of happiness on her lips, and a note of joy in her voice, which will glorify the darkest, saddest days for those who meet her along the way. There’s a fire of intellect brightly burn- ing, which enables her to recall at a word the minutest processes of plant, mineral, or social life, — and yet, strange to say, she can forget. Never can she recall any faults in those about her. Nor can those soft brown eyes ever see any- thing but good, for “unto the pure all things are pure.” a V I i I VETERROPT I I I. r I ' til m f i T i. WARD McWilliams, b.s.

' Fhe world is full of beautiful trib- utes to a beautiful woman — some are to her beauty, others to her mind, but greater and most worthy are those paid to her influence on those around her. In glorying in her, we lose ourselves and approach the great Throne of Divine Love, and in our love for her are made more like the Christ. We feel like that piece of clay which upon being asked by a mortal, “Tell me, art thou of heaven or earth? for I am charmed by the .delightful scent:” answered, “I was a despicable piece of clay, but was some- times in company of a rose: the sweet quality of my companion was communi- cated to me : otherwise I should have re- mained only what I appear to be — a bit of earth.” J p I 8 I ■ 1 VETERROPT MARY ADDIS MIMS, A.B.

Our class, despite its numbers, has only a few members by means of whom it can come in direct contact with the world without. One of the cherished few is Leonora.

' fhere were times when the help of some one in town was essential, — for instance, in our Sophomore year when an effigy had to be made, absolutely in secret from the prj ' ing Juniors and un- suspecting Freshies. In later years, Leonora and the Oldsmobile have saved the day for us innumerable times. We believe that she has labored under an excruciatingly heavy course this year, for the faculty has not required her presence at chapel on several days out of the week.

She has had other things to test her amiable disposition, for she was the first to start the “measly” ball to rolling.

Is it possible that this brilliant star which gleams in the Wesleyan firma- ment is the wee little curly-haired lassie whom we noticed when we first entered here?

We started off by “shooting” the profs, every time they fired a question at us. They thought that we were raw recruits, but we soon caught on to the new methods of warfare used at Wesleyan, and showed them that we were used to being fired on. After much preparation and cramming we took the first trench on the first of January. Some of us were slightly wounded, but managed to recover in time to take the second trench in May. We came out better and wiser, filled with grim determination to stick it out till we had routed the last enemy. Some few dropped out of the ranks, but our company was complete enough to put up a strong fight the second year. One morning we actually got up before reveille, and opened fire on our newest recruits, the Freshmen, just to get them in trim for real warfare. It was a sham battle but it fired them up. In our Junior year we showed them that we could “shoot” goals as w ell as profs. We took off the championship for “sharp-shooters.” The “Dress Parade” of the season came off on May the fifth, in the form of the “Junior Prom.” The moon was shining and the band was playing and — well, the dictionary is inadequate to describe the occasion. After this, we took one more trench. We fought so successfully that neither exam-filled trenches nor barbed wire entanglements stopped us. By using a little camouflage we secured promotions, each of us being ranked ‘Senior. After a short furlough of three months, we returned to the firing line, thirty-nine strong. By this time we had become quite skilled in the use of camouflage. We knew that man could not live by bread alone, but we found that if there was a little filling in the bread it was quite acceptable to soldiers at Camp Wheeler, in the form of sandwiches. Trench fever attacked us severely January 19, of this year, but we all survived, took another trench, and came out with flying ‘‘Passes,’’ ready to train for the last trench, just before commencement. We have, at length, delivered the ultimatum to Dr. Jenkins, our com- r r each of us is armed with a “Safe Conduct for Life.

Item I. To the Juniors we leave our caps and gowns. May they wear them bravely, despite the suffering caused by high collars and twirling tassels. Item II. To the Juniors, also, we bequeath the Se- nior Crow’s Nest, with all the rights and privileges thereunto appertain- ing. It may be used for all kinds of meetings, whether they be joyous, such as after the Thanksgiving banquet, or the sad and solemn gathering of the last night of commencement. Item III. To the same class we also leave our seats in chapel with the earnest hope that they shall have the undisputed privilege of making their daily march into Chapel to take possession of them unmolested by any authority. Item IV. To our sister class, the Sophomores, we will all of our best traits, including our successful art of camouflage, our victories in basket-ball, our irreproachable character, and the esteem of the faculty. Item V. To the Freshmen, we leave our dignity, in addition to our ability to express our noble thoughts in writing. Item VI. To our newly acquired ally, the Special Class, we would bequeath our extreme good nature and cheerful disposition with the hope that they will always remain in the ranks beside the lavender and white. Item VII. To the class of 1922, which is not yet in existence as an organization, we leave our colors, lavender and white. May they esteem them, fight for them, die for them if need be, in like spirit with us. Item VIII. To the faculty, we leave our splendid examination papers, in the case that they should desire to compile them into volumes on the I respective subjects which they teach. I veterropt t Item IX. To the class of ’20, we will our “Round Table” with all the joys and mysteries with which it abounds. Item X. To Wilma Ridgdill we leave Genie P ' incher’s incomparable and admirable habit of “deep-digging.” We believe that she could bear this distinction well. Item XI. To Mary Atkinson we solemnly bequeath Sara Pearce’s heavy course of three hours per week, in order that she may easily graduate in three years. Item XII. To Kathrina Bush, we leave Katharine Cleckler’s A T n jewelry, with the condition that she wear the ring on the outside of her glove, and the pin on her coat, and that she regularly discuss the frat at each meal, with anyone that will listen. Item XIII. To Louise Strange, we bequeath Helen Maffett’s votes for the most stylish girl in school, with the hope that she will win in next year’s contest. Item XIV. We leav-e Addis Mims’ diamonds to Lillian Price, be- cause vve think that they would betwinklingly adorn her graceful fingers. Item XV. We leave Ruth Houser’s art of sneezing to Eileen Gallaher on the condition that she does not try to surpass Ruth in the rapidity and frequency of the spasms. Item XVI. Marguerite Adams w ' ishes to leave her “own, bright, happy self,” with a few pin-and-ink sketches on risque subjects, by Dean Bakewell, to Esther Harris, on condition that she uphold her reputation and become cuter every day. (N. B. — It is Esther that is cute, not Marguerite.) Item XVIL We leave Sue Tanner’s hair curlers to Lois McMath, on the condition that she will use them only under cover of darkness, as Sue has always done, so that no one will suspect her camouflage. Item Xyill. To Agnes Claire Little we leave Ray Ballard’s burden of responsibility in connection with Student Government, hoping that its sobering effect will add to her dignity, as we believe nothing else could. . Item XIX. We leave Lillian Bass’s notes on “How to Successfully rmance an Annual to Linda Anderson. Item XX. Vail Jones’ T. L.’s we leave to Elizabeth vising that she “have a heart.’’ Day, only ad- Item XXL We will the tie that binds Katherine Stowe, Lois Dis- muke, Allie Jeff Doster and Elizabeth Hudson, to Elizabeth Clanton, Lora Waterman, Louise Withington and Clyde Smith. Item XXII. We will Sara Singleton’s manuscripts to Emma Love Fisher, with the request that she add them to her own and have them pub- lished in a book some day, under the title of “Love’s Young Dream.’’ Item XXIII. We leave Pauline Pierce’s privilege of writing the Wesleyan Letter to The Telegraph every week, to Katherine Thomas. Item XXIV. We leave Leolene Morris’ invincible championship in basket-ball to Carolyn Kelley, of the Sophomore Class. Item XXV.

I , .. . ... I VETERI30PT I ■ ■ But, concerning my present life, — After several years of study up North and abroad, I have come back to New York and have a splendid school devoted to the study of aesthetic dancing. For some time we have been giving balls, the proceeds of which go a long way in helping the New York charities. My work is quite an inspiration and, though I often long for another twilight meeting in the “Crow’s Nest” and a “heart-to- heart” chat with you all, I yet think that as it is “Life has fallen to me in pleasant places.” Lovingly, Marion Cook, President of the Class of i8. Washington, D. C. Dear Girls: Lest I should be an example of “she knew not when to stop,” as we have often said unanimously of our erstwhile instructors, I am making the fact that “school days are not your happiest days” the main feature of my contribution. I have been spending the winter in Washington with “Sue.” You knew old “Sue” had long since given up the ambition of being a Florence Nightingale number two and declares that experience has taught her In all her thoughts to strong approve Nought is so sweet as is true loveJ You know the rest. Katharine has been here with us during the absence of her husband, who is in Europe on a government commission. We are all so proud of the fame “Kithryn” won while with the Metropolitan, and even now she threatens to go back to her old vocation, just to “try It out” once more. In spite of the numerous demands of club work and of many social duties, we still have time to talk over the “has beens” and to hope that there soon will be a full Class reunion. Marguerite Adams. Geneva, Switzerland. Dear Old Cl assmates: I shall have to “fess up” that I was all wrong when I swore “vengeance is mine. I’ll paint no more,” after serving that brain-racking sentence of Art Editor of the Veterropt. I have been accompanying mother on her lecture tours and upon reaching this place of snow-capped mountains, exquisite sunsets, and a moon that even excels ours of the Junior Prom, I have gone back to the subject nearest to my heart, and, untiring, study my beloved art. I VETEI2ROPT Did you know that Martha Rolston had married a professor of Ox- ford University and was spending the summer traveling and writing poems which threaten to surpass even those descriptions from Byron, which stirred us so in Junior Lit? Watch for the first edition, which has already gone to press, and you will agree with me in declaring, “Martha always was a genius.” Your devoted, Mattie Armor. tell,” so here you find me a college president’s wife and as “Lucky Jim,” “ know just what there is in married life. Tis scores of calls and social duties legion , frith scarce a minute ever for a rest. But of all lots, in any kind of region, I claim, by far, mine is the very best. Margaret (Atkinson). Boston Conservatory of Music. Dear Old Seniors of ’i8: I often long for another “Comrades Round the Camp Fire” or “Ladies of the Round Table” meeting. Is it that as we grow older w ' e live in the past, or Is it a case of I-love-you-still-and-just-can’t-help-it ? Anyway, I like the Round-Robin idea, as our links, though during, may not be of the unbreakable type. I am afraid that you people would term me not half so “sensible” as of yore, could you see how I spend days and nights of toil and labor composing manuscripts unceasing, of music. I agree whole-heartedly with the old Greek poet that “0 r mortal state fVith bliss is never satiate. He knew whereof he spoke and yet, lest you think that I have be- come a confirmed pessimist, I shall tell you briefly of one of my indulg- ences in the joys of life. Last night we had a wonderful program on which Polly, nee Pierce— nay, Pierce no longer— featured. After having completed her study of violin in Berlin and having marripH hpr I VETEPBOPT I remark that I was surprised to find her still a “soloist” in life as well as in song, and she responded : “O fie, of many men Vve had my choice, But I have always longed to train my voice, 5o my advice to yon is Never IFed, But choose a life of lasting fame instead” And Dell Dennis was here, too, not long since. She is now a concert pianist, and a fine one at that. She says that it is too much “Wandering Jew” life and such endless exertion to sustain your reputation; but that is Dell’s same old retiring modesty, so don’t take that remark at its face value. Hurry and send the Round-Robin round again. It is like an echo of the past. Yours, Ray Ballard. Seattle, Washington. Dearest Classmates: I count this indeed one of my Red Letter Days and a surprisingly nice one, at that. 1 had not heard of the Round-Robin plan before the real thing arrived, and thinking that the others may enjoy it as greatly as I did, I am hurrying it on. I love my home up here, though I spend most of my time in Wash- ington, D. C., as my husband is there in the Senate a great part of the time. I guess you would call it the penalty of being a senator’s wife, but it is all in life and I really w ould go weary of a sedentary existence. While in Washington last summer, I saw two of the old ’i8 girls: Vail Jones, who is now a splendid speaker and an ardent worker in the “Woman’s Work for the World’s Betterment” campaign, gave a stirring and forcible address in which she made the statement that, “ Tis no longer woman has to sit and wait Til men may bring her news worthy of note. For now she holds her sway in every state And even has to help men with the vote” Then I met Mary Will Wakeford on the street one day. She has the same old jolly smile and cheery greeting that we always loved her for at Wesleyan. She and Margaret Thompson went straight to France after a short course in Red Cross work in the summer of ’i8 and did unknown amounts of good in the hospitals of France. Then after peace was de- clared, Mary Will came home again and married a wealthy mechanic. They have made several tours around the world in their aeroplane, and Mary Will says that as in times “by-gone” (after those frequent week-end visits) she often gets “up in the air” but it is always “back to earth again” too soon — alas — too soon I Margaret, true to her “old love,” is married and happy, leading a many-sided, active life in Y. W. C. A. campaigns and Civic Leagues. Hasta la vista, Jessie Barnes. Review of Reviews Headquarters. Dear Girls: “This is a great day for learning,” so you still find me drinking at the Fount of Knowledge, or, to express it more aptly, still in desperate pursuit of further knowledge. It is no easy task to keep a world-famed magazine like this, up to the standard demanded, and though my stall cooperates with me splendidly, it is still a great responsibility. However, I feel real natural with Lucile Bowden on the staff as our leading modern poet and with Sara Singleton’s frequent contributions of short stories. She has been for some time with The New York Times and we list our- selves among the “fortunate few” and “greatly favored” since she has transferred to us. At Miss Garner’s suggestion and with Professor J. W. W. Daniel’s assistance, I am running a series of articles, the main features of which are: “Why Do We Exist?”; “What Am I Thinking Of?”; and the “Whyfulness of Tying Up the Past With the Present and With the Future.” Be sure to read the articles by Dr. Ward McWilliams, who now holds a prominent place in the medical world. This is the staff’s letter “three in one.” The others await the next installment. Sarah Bethea, Editor-in-Chief Review of Reviews. Florida. Dear Girls: Did someone say — was it Pestalozzi? — that a teacher’s life is work endless and then that all over again? Well, he was right. I am teaching in a school run entirely on the “Gary” basis and my work is very interest- ing and my pupils adorable. Zida taught with me for a while, but a cer- tain soldier back from France dared her to change her name and she never took “Adair,” so Zida has wed; but still Naomi Diggs. P.

And I am very much “on the same old rail” when it comes to arranging plays, original dramatization, and all that. By the way, I am bringing an original play to the Grand, in Macon, real soon. I wish that everyone of you could come. Andromache — and all the rest — Bailey writes that she has tired of a life of rest and “flowery beds of ease,” and is now taking a business course at G. A. B., preparatory to accepting a civil service position in Honolulu. I hope to see her while in Macon. And dear old Leonora Neel has promised to have me a full and over- flowing house. She is at home for a short while now after spending sev- I eral years in New York and other points of interest; but I think that she I will soon be “at home to friends” in New York. She still declares that, I ‘ Single life for her does hold no woes.” I But it’s rumored that’s all joke; I She soon will wed — who knows?? I Mary Lou Gramling, Head of Expression Department, Emerson.

Addis was with me for a time; but you no doubt remember Addis’ strongly developed migratory and anti-sedentary tendency, greatly increased by frequent campaigns on Annual “biz,” and after sufficiently Convincing her- self and all those it may concern, that she could easily make her own money, she now proves just as emphatically that she can spend it just as well, in numerous journeyings “e’en from Africa’s sunny fountains to In- dia’s coral strands.” I - fVETERPOPT I Item z. — After that, my work grew dull ’til “Billy” came (I’ll soon be through) and then 1 found, through billet-doux, why china should be used for two.

Beth Gibson is a splendid success as millinery designer. They both send greetings hearty and say ' that were further details “necessaire” .they would indulge.

I had hoped that 1 would leave schedules behind with the other debris of Wesleyan sorrows; but when you have to be in a dozen places at once and have demands innumerable thrust upon you.

I do believe that it has “taken on” a hale and hearty growth. Since last we met I have verily led a varied and eventful life. For a year I was an example incomparable of the hard and heartless peda- gogue, teaching genius to burn and the infant mind to “shoot” with re- I markable zeal and energy.

Her love affair was so romantic. Make ' her “fess up” and write you all about how she met him in one of the ' hospitals of France and what wild adventures they had. I always did declare that Lois’ seemingly calm and demure exterior hid a fiery spirit j that would “out” sometime. And w hile on the subject of “pep” and fiery spirits, Allie Jeff is, in- deed, a living example of same. I see that she has not written her career yet and lest modesty should prevent her telling the “straight,” I hereby do so for her. After the summer of ’i8, the government accepted her as one of the leading “men” in Civil Service. She has had many and flattering commissions, among them one year’s service in Paris, where she came into , great prominence. But she tired of her political career and came back to Atlanta, where she dwells and now does wear a plain band ring above her solitaire. i ' “K” is here in my home with me at Buffalo.

Seeking deep in worlds of knowledge Our A. B, dips, that we might gain. But while engrossed in studying history. Which men of ages gone have made; W e ve still been conscious of the present. Compared with which, all past things fade. Together, this great Class has watched Our country forced into the whirl, And each has pledged to do her bit To make the hostile banners furl. W e began with eager longing Our high ideals to put in force. And though at times we ve made a failure, W e ve still been faithful to our course. Oh, now we re looking to the future.

An unseen hand must have guided them, for they met one day at Wesleyan’s historic portals. What prophetic omen foreshadowed their arrival? Surely it was more than idle curiosity that prompted the students of the preceding years to bend upon the new- comers that steady gaze of inquiry, as, one by one, they firmly advanced to add their names to that “tell-tale roster of has-beens.’’ The ease with which they glided over the freshly polished hardwood floor was often repeated in the facility with which they later slipped through matters of grave importance encountered in the halls of history and literature. With superb indifference each bold pilgrim grasped her courage in one hand, and a pen in the other, and applied for a reserved seat in the Hall of Fame. But should she find it n ecessary to read her title clear to a degree from that signature four years later, it would be done with fear and trembling, for so she wrote it, in spite of her determination. But when the question of classification arose, spirits rose also. Some of the responses to Mr. Hinton’s inquiries were startling, and immediately the attention of the world of learning was centered on these new arrivals. Kindred spirits as they were, they at once banded themselves to- gether as the Class of 1919, and vowed to trample beneath the French heels of their armor the hosts of Ignorance. Over their coning towers they raised a scutcheon of gold and white, bearing a mystic scroll and the legend “Labor Omnia Vincit.’’ Their fame grew to such an extent that it became distasteful to the pilgrims of the year before. They rumored among themselves that the faithful band were workers of magic. Burning to death was the penalty for witch-craft, so the whole future of this extraordinary class was at stake. The hostile clan realized their situation, and fired by a desperate desire to end their career, their red-hot determination flared up, set fire to the stake, and the Class of 1919, in effigy, was reduced to ashes. But, tarry a little, gentle reader, the end was not yet. The spirit of the valiant class, brought down to earth by the fiery ordeal, planned revenge. On Thanksgiving Day they met the enemy on the Field of k ( I. I i !i 1 1 t i I I It II Gym., and the lavender and white standard went down before the cham- pions of the white and gold. Whether their basket-ball prowess was gained by magic, no one ever knew, but many remarked the conjuring power of the weird, unintelligible shrieks and yells of those who watched the battle from afar. And whispered stories wxre told of the nocturnal orgies which took place in the secluded foyer of the auditorium, or the deserted basement, during the week before the battle. They heard these murmurings, but treated them as vain conjectures, and offered no explanation. There were other realms to be explored and conquered. They wandered through a literary labyrinth peopled with King Arthur’s knights and the hosts of Beelzebub; they roamed about in the gloomy forests and haunted caves of Science. They listened to the music of Pan as the panorama of the world’s history was revealed sys- tematically before their eyes. All these achievements the world rejoiced in, and everywhere immortal fame was prophesied for the toilers. But what mortal is there, outside the clan, who can tell what hap- pened at that banquet feast of April 14, 1917? Not an alien shade sat at that charmed board, or listened to the enchanted music. Their friends of the sombre cap and gowm revealed to them dark secrets, and they quaffed again the Cup of Inspiration. One sorrow was the portion of this valiant band. Some of their members had gone away from time to time, seeking success in other realms. But, in the fall of 1917, the faithful twenty-nine raised the invincible stand- ard a little higher, and stepped past the second mile-stone on the road to Fame. Because they die with smiles on their faces when “shot” in intel- lectual bombardments, and light up everything around them with their incandescent remarks, they are now familiarly known as “Jolly Juniors.” Possibly their jubilant spirits are caused by the approaching realization of that climax of Freshman dreams and Sophomore hopes — Junior Prom; but may they not be the lingering memories of those boxes of Christmas cheer sent to the khaki clad men in France? Still, they “LooAr before and after, And pine for what is notJ Their dream is yet one more glorious year of achievement, then a name to Wesleyan’s honor. — Gl.adys Butner.

Forward, march! Charge!” So we, as “wee bit” Freshmen, timid but resolved, made our appearance into the dim expanse of college life in the fall of 1916. At first all looked rather discouraging — a sea of unknown faces, a mass of strange corridors, and class rooms here, there, and everywhere, but the exact one for which we were searching, always nowhere. Then began our first onslaught and soon, almost to our own surprise, timidity and confusion lay crushed at our feet. Our way was not one succession of marked victories — what army’s is? The Sophomores whipped us out in basket-ball, but, after all, that enabled us to win a fresh victory, greater still — a victory over discouragement. And at the end of the spring term, we had overcome the mighty Horace, the first elements of French, Spanish, and German, public speaking, the wiles of mathematics, and the Old Testament — a queerly massed foe, perhaps, but one no longer able to trouble us, at least. We began a fresh campaign, September, 1917, no longer as shrinking Freshmen, but as bold, brave Sophomores. Again we were whipped out in basket-ball, but this time, we maintain, it was not by our opponents, the F ' reshmen, but by the contending forces of Nature, in the form of measles. At any rate, we made the world look up to us that day, for our colors flowed out in the wind from the topmost point of the topmost steeple of the topmost college of the land. Now for our other foes! In our study of literature we have con- quered dates by the score and other facts by the hundred and have made some remarkable and valuable discoveries. For instance, we have learned for the first time that Shakespeare was not only familiar with electricity, the possibilities of the power of steam, and the art of camouflage, but also invented phonographs, telephones and invisible ships, worked out a system of sanitary sewerage and showed his approbation of the use of individual drinking cups. If you don’t believe it, read “The Tempest” again and ask Mrs. Burks. Under Professor Rosser’s guidance, we have gained, with the early apostles, a deeper and more quiet faith in the Master, as we have followed Him about in His w ork. In botany we have learned names as long as around the world and back again, for particles a millionth as large as a pin-point. We have conquered “unknown tongues” and made them our prisoners. We have not limited our fight to regions close at hand, but have entered the world w ar with our soldier [I ll — 1 1 1 1 1 V w 1 I 1 boys against the dreadful Huns themselves. We were the first class at i Wesleyan to buy a liberty bond, thus making more certain the victory for a the Allies. i As you see, great have been our foes and great our gains, but I must desist in the enumeration for fear that you will begin to think that we are too marvelous to be true. So now, as we retire to summer quarters, we ' bid to each of you, our readers, a fond and tender farewell. If you keep on the lookout next year, you will be sure to hear of many more of our remarkable exploits. Ida Mallary Cobb, Historian.

But this is not true of the Freshman History, because it is brief and important. Almost before our trunks were unpacked, we had burned that Sophomore effigy, and scattered its ashes to moan woefully on the back Campus. The Sophomores can tell you about the way we play basket-ball, and although w e are not gloating over the results, we are terribly proud of our victory. Of course our class is the youngest, and no one really expects much from us except proud mothers and dads, for it is pretty much as Pat said: “Stick to your old friends, for where’ll new ones as has stuck to you as long as your old ones have?” But long before w e became “old friends” we were stickers — sticking for Wesleyan and the Freshman Class. — Mary K.

Look!! Listen!!! And you’ll not regret it. Worlds may come, and worlds may go; but our Special Class goes on forever, never stopping, we have no end- ing, no beginning, just a great laughing class of girls — specializing in one current of profound thought; trying to do our bit for humanity by giving forth our all in our talent. Braving the jibes flung at us from the banks by some mortal with an A. B. or B. S., who can not fathom our music and laughter; giving to them, whene’er they wish to delve in our great depths, a great cooling and refreshing love. On either bank, whether it be A. B. or B. S., our kisses, our tears, our struggles leave cooling cresses and blossoms for weary mortals to enjoy. If you watch our course rather closely, putting on the eye-glasses of love, you will see little joyous ripples made by our glee, during our school- life, where we have played pranks — maybe it was in the stealing a banner or in winning a tennis or basket-ball tournament. If you look real hard in the chronicles of 1914-15 you can see the time that we stole the Fresh- men’s banner. Since we always get what we want, we got that banner. .My! How happy we were! We sang and sang for days, and the Fresh- men stood on the bank or waded in the stream, trying to find their “pre- cious child.” We sent a mermaid, with the banner, to her coral home, away in the deep, and we ran around the Freshmen’s toes, nibbling like little fishes sometimes and sometimes just tickling their feet. .Again that year we had a good time, for we got up a basket-ball team and, sending it out on the field, won and won. Our girls are always ath- letic. Ask Mr. Billin, if you don’t agree. He can certainly prove that singing develops all sorts of muscles that one never heard of before. We rippled ourselves into the Special Class. In 1915-16 we were friends of the Freshmen; in fact, had signed a Grand Alliance, formed of Specials, Juniors, and Freshmen. As should be expected from our neighbors, who live by the axiom, “Steal all you can from your nearest, dearest neighbors,” we had a terrible battle, a blood- thirsty, hair-pulling, screaming battle. It was started by the enemy at 6 . . M. by doing a Hoodo dance around some straw in the middle of the Campus. In order to give vent to our feelings and to get that bit of straw, we, the Grand .Alliance, arose in all dignity, swept over to the enemies’ store-rooms, stole their caps and gowns, climbed a china-berry tree with great dignity and calm brows, and then, hanging up a “Senior-likeness” made of feathers, danced sesthetically around the tree on devv-besprinkled grass, singing that w onderful oratorio, “Hang John Brown on a China- Berry Tree.” Of course there were a few casualties; but as we had not been preparing ever since Bismarck to drill our neighbors, we captured only a few sun-kissed curls. Next year we shone in athletics, in fact, the hall seemed bewitched in our favor. This year we have had a fine team and glorious success. Next year our story will be bigger and finer; our class will be fuller; new faces will take the places of our graduates of this year, and these new sisters shall be loved as much as the rest. We hate to tell our Seniors good-bye; but are glad that while they were in college we had them for classmates. May their careers, whether they be in home or in business, be successes, and their lives happy and joy-giving. • Alice N.apier, ’i ? Jn illm0nam Edith Wilson PULASKI.

I gaze at the mountains , The wondrous beauty profound. I listen to the calls of the wilderness. Interpreting every sound. I catch the note of a wild-bird And the trill of its mate is heard; They flutter and fly, winging their way as they go. He called and she answered , — How do they know? Again comes the answ er — God did will it so. To the northland, southland, eastland, Westland , And out on the ships of the sea, Tis the same wherever I go; And wondrous it seems to me That nothing fails its allotted share fflth a goodness whole and free — A poor concession to Him who put them there. And yet it is the part of the Plan they re given. So willed by the God of Heaven! When Harmony paints with varied hue The heavens opalescent, and the deep sea blue. And the delicate colors are blended with red And the prayers of the children are said; H hen the day draws near to its close And the world again calls to repose — Why is it, the wild-bird seeks his home, And the flocks of the pastures cease to roam. And the flowers of earth close up for the night— To await the Dawn — Usher of Light, And man looks for his loved ones then? The answer comes to me full and strong. The answer for which the souls of us long, Because it is so willed by the God of men! r ,1 I V I VETERROPT I Then what in return do we give For the hafiftiness granted by Him, The joy for which we iivef — For life without happiness would surely seem dim — It is a reverence born of the soul A reverence which serves as a prayer against sin, IFhich makes us constant to something worth while. And a brother to men. It is a season of war, The war of a being the physical for a dominant ideal. The soul trampling Artifice for a triumph of the Real, IF here do we stand to maintain the brave fight? IVhat means that word. Duty— to darken or make light? And if the conception of Duty be obligation, Hhy hesitate to pour out the libation? Hlien we give, it is with joy that we know That the Lord God of Heaven has willed it so, Winifred Rawlings. 21. ( I VETERROPT | Intellect (With Apologies to “Beowulf.”) RIXCESS Sophomore built for herself near the Sea of Wisdom a beautiful castle, where she could sit with her companions at great banquets of learning. For a while she was known far and wide as a splendid and liberal lady. But one night there came from the wild March-land a great and terrible creature named Sophomore Lit. Enter- ing the castle of the Princess Sophomore he slayed thirty “Nights” of Pleasure and carried their corpses away to his lair. The next night he came, and carried away thirty “Nights” of Sleep. No mortal power seemed able to cope with the gigantic foe. In the winter nights Princess Sophomore would crouch by her cold radiator, trembling with fear. For four long months this scourge afflicted Princess Sophomore and her comrades, until their spirits were broken. At last the story of Sophomore Lit.’s deeds crossed the Sea of Wis- dom, where Prince Intellect dwelt with his Uncle Knowledge. He de- termined to go and aid the Princess. With fifteen companions he em- barked, sailing over the blue sea like a bird. At dawn of the second day the voyagers caught sight of a beautiful land, where in the vale beneath stood the famous Castle Sophomore. The young heroes went into the hall where Princess Sophomore sat, young and beautiful, amid her band 4 of companions. Prince Intellect asked permission to fight with the ter- rible monster. Sophomore Lit., and Princess Sophomore consented that he and his band should await the coming of the monster. Meanwhile, until darkness came, the heroes sang and told tales of wild adventure. They drank their mead freely, never dreaming that before dawn some of them would be dead. The feast came to a close, and Prince Intellect and his followers lay down to rest. The night grew dark and darker still. The wind whistled and a sud- den mist filled the air. Prom the lonely moors Sophomore Lit. stalked. Straight to the castle he came. He rushed into the hall where the heroes lay. He seized a warrior and, biting his “bone casings,” drank his blood in currents. Next he came toward Prince Intellect, but the hero, who had in his hand the strength of thirty men, seized the monster with such a mighty hand-grip that he turned to flee. The warriors, who had awakened, struck at Sophomore Lit. with their swords; but no mortal weapon could ■ F veterropt I wound him. At last the monster wrenched his own arm from its socket and ran to his den to die, leaving no “bad report” in the ' hands of Prince Intellect. The next morning Princess Sophomore and her companions sang and danced before Prince Intellect, showering upon him gay flowers. All day they made merry with feasting and dancing. But at nightfall, when the warriors had again fallen to sleep. Examination, the mother of Sophomore Lit., came to take vengeance for her son. She seized one of the heroes and bore him away to her watery den. Prince Intellect vowed to seek the new foe and fight with her. With his band of comrades he went along the rough and windy cliffs of Ques- tions, until he came to the den of Examination. It was a dark cave, shut in by large rocks. Trembling Juniors, standing nearby, told how they had seen many heroes lose their lives in the dark den. They shook their heads and mourned for Prince Intellect. The pool was so deep that it took an entire morning before Prince Intellect reached the bottom. Fear and Deceit made war on him as he descended. At last he came face to face with Examination, and at once the struggle began. Once the giantess threw Prince Intellect to the ground, and, sitting astride his body, drew forth her sword to stab him; but with superhuman force Prince Intellect struggled up again; threw away his broken sword, and seized from a heap of arms a magic sword. With this sword he cut off the head of Examina- tion, and then that of Sophomore Lit., whose dead body he found lying in the cave. So poisonous was the blood of Examination that it melted the metal of the blade, leaving only a shining white card in his hand. When Prince Intellect reappeared at the surface of the water, all had given him up as lost. Great was the joy when he knelt before Princess Sophomore and placed in her hand the shining card, on which was written ; “Sophomore Lit passed. Your Castle is safe!” NeLLE NeWiVUN, 20. VETERROPT The Advertised-for Bride By Sara Singleton, ’i8 T was June. It was south Georgia. It was storming. Helen Linn was alone in her six-cylinder roadster, speed- ing along as fast as the deep-rutted, sandy, country road would allow. Then she came to a small, unpainted farm house and stopped her car under a large oak tree at the gate. Hurrying to the door, she knocked. When there was no answer she opened it and entered a sitting room. The bare floor and uncurtained windows sent a shiver over her and she hastened through the house, looking for more comfortable quarters. In the kitchen she came upon a young man, with sleeves rolled up and a towel as an improvised apron tied around his waist, frying chicken over a hot, smokey, little stove. When turning the chicken over, the grease popped up and hit him in the face. “Darn it!” he ex- ploded, but other exclamations were prevented by a laugh from the door. “I beg your pardon, sir. I was seeking shelter from the storm, and when no one answered my knock, I just came in,” Helen explained. “Well, I’ll be ,” he ejaculated as he dropped the fork, then quickly substituting for the “dog-goned” framed on his tongue, “mighty glad to have you. My name is Nelson King.” “The author?” she gasped. “Even he,” with a polite bow and a smile. “But really I’m not so bad as my writings.” He was enjoying her evident confusion and em- barrassment. He was flattered and amused; but yet at the same time he almost hated himself for having told his real name. Suppose that she did not get over her awe soon. She was so delightfully frank at first. Oh ! why should she think that he was not a human being, just because he had written a few stories? .Anyway, did not most folks write stories, whether they were ever published or not? Everybody, he thought, imagined them. Some people were simply more fortunate than others. But the world-wise and woman-wise young author was mistaken in Helen. Within a few moments she had regained her composure and was as frank as ever. “.■ nd mine, Helen Linn,” she said. “Well, Miss Linn, were you riding or walking or did the rain bring you from heaven?” Nelson laughed. “ ‘Trailing clouds of glory do I come,’ ” she smiled. FVeterropt I ■ ' ■■■ “Hallelujah!” he almost shouted. She was even jesting. No woman whom he had just met had ever before failed to launch into an eulogy of praise of his stories. Almost in the same breath the other women had praised and flattered him, had invited him to teas and dinners, and had asked that he address the Woman’s Club or Literary Society. “F rom heaven, which is your home,” he finished, getting the senti- ment of the poem, if not the exact words, with a note of high approval as he took in his pretty, curly, brown-haired visitor, from the top of her small panama hat, past her dripping white sport suit, to the sole of her low-heeled white shoes. Then, “I drove from Waycross. My father has been over at the Cross Roads’ saw-mill, on business, and I was going for him to take him home,” she explained. “Miss Linn, you’re aw ' fully wet; but I don’t know what I can give you to put on. John Wickline and I live here alone.” This last word reminded Nelson that after to-day they w ould no longer be alone. He had persuaded young Farmer Wickline, with whom he w as boarding while he hunted “copy” for a story of south Georgia country life, that a woman was needed about the place. Wickline had at last timidly proposed to a neighborhood girl, with whom he had played when a child, but had been refused. Although he loved her, since she would not marry him, he might as well marry some other girl. So he tried to convince himself. The next week he had put an advertisement for a wife in the country weekly. Within a few days he had received an answer a nd had proposed by letter to this would-be-bride. “Thank the Lord,” he said to himself as he addressed the envelope to Miss Dorothea Curtiss, Cross Roads, R. F. D. No. i, “She don’t live so fur away. Maybe she ain’t so different frum my kind ur folks, after all. Funny, though, I ain’t never hearn that there name before.” She had accepted and to-day she was to arrive at the Cross Roads, where John and the Justice of the Peace were going to meet her. John had offered to drive over for her; but she had declared that she wanted to come alone to the home of the Justice. “Never mind, that’s all right,” she drawded. “I reckon I’ll dry in here by the stove in a little while.” Before the chicken was done, a big, husky, bare-footed man in over- alls stalked into the kitchen. “Golly, this is shore some rain. Orter do the craps a right smart, ur — ” On seeing Helen, a blush overspread the tan of his face and then a pallor. “Good morning. Miss.” Pause. “This here’s a awful day fer a weddin’,” he stammered. “Why — er — yes, I guess so,” she assented with a puzzled expression. Helen wms absorbed in browming the chicken. She had taken charge of the cooking, because she wanted to be near the stove, she said. I VETERROPT sake man, when’s she come? I wan’t expectin’ her ’til this evenin’?” “This morning,” he grinned. “Hush, or she’ll hear you. And do John eased over to Nelson and whispered excitedly. “Fer the Lord’s be civil.” Nelson gave him a push. “Go talk to her!” “Yer had a right bad ride over frum Cross Roads, didn’t yer?” She interrupted, “I didn’t come from — ” But John paid no attention to her. “Why didn’t yer lemme know yer wuz a-comin’ this mornin’ ?” he scolded. “Goodness, I didn’t know it myself until it started raining.” John hastened to add with a timid smile, “Well, hit don’t matter long’s yer’re here. Miss. I reckin hit’s ’bout time fer dinner. I’ll go out an’ draw some fresh water,” slammnig the door after him. “What does he mean?” she exclaimed, flushing. “Oh, nothing,” Nelson chuckled. “He’s timid and didn’t know what else to say. That’s just his way of trying to make you feel that you are welcome,” assuringly. John opened the door, stumbled over a chair, and spilled half the bucket of water. He muttered an unintelligible something, which sug- gested either a superabundance of emotion or an apology. Since it was still raining, Helen remained for dinner. During the first of the meal she and Nelson did all the talking; while John remained silent, with his eyes fixed upon his plate, except when he occasionally looked up to shoo the flies with his fly brush cut from the branch of a tree. Yet he contributed his share of noise by the awkward use of his knife and fork. Once he dropped his knife, bent to pick it up, and bumped his head upon the table. Nelson boyishly began to tease. “Don’t get so nervous, John. She won’t hurt you. Why don’t you sit up and talk? Remember, you are the host; we, the company.” John replied only with a blush, and then busied himself with his dinner. After a while Helen and Nelson began to talk about themselves. He told her why he was there. He was from Atlanta originally; but with his first bit of success at story writing he had left home and had begun to roam about in search of new and varied experiences. After three or four years of drifting he had become homesick. Hence, now he was in the country of south Georgia. It was a new country to him, yet it was home, because it was Georgia. The long level stretches of pines and of live oaks, with moss hanging from their branches, the abundance of sand and of wire grass, were all new to him. Even the country farmers were somewhat different from those that he had known. Helen listened inter- estedly, because the man himself was interesting and because she, too, secretly, however, aspired to be a writer. I VETERROPT I Then by skillful questioning Nelson led her to talk of herself. There was nothing much to tell she said. She was just like other girls, she declared; but Nelson knew that she was not. To him she was different; she was beautiful and wonderful. There was not another like her. Then John became tired of hearing them talk about themselves. He wanted to talk about himself; but he knew not what to tell. At last he hit upon the subject of his possessions. “I got fifty head of cattle,” he burst out, “and ’bout two hundred chickens. Me and my brother, who’s married and lives ’bout a mile frum here, has got the best hogs uv anybody ’round here. My craps is doin’ powerful good and I got five hundred dollars saved up, too. In a few years more we orter be right well off,” he finished embarrassed, and again became absorbed in his dinner. After dinner he went out to feed the stock. When he returned, Helen was washing the dishes and Nelson was drying them in goodliest com- panionship. Had John noticed he would have known from their eyes that they both thought it fun. “Miss, hit’s stopped rainin’. We mout as well ride over to Cross Roads now, to see the Justice of the Peace,” with desperation. He turned on his heel and flung over his shoulder as he left, “I’ll hitch up the wagon, so’s to bring the trunk. You’ll go, too, won’t you. Nelson?” he pleaded. “Certainly, John.” Helen turned a puzzled and questioning face to Nelson. “He’s carrying his welcome a little too far, I think.” He told her of John’s approaching wedding. “He’s a bit nervous and wants you and me to go with him to meet the unknown bride. It won’t take long and then you can go for your father. If you don’t mind, please go,” he urged. “Of course, if that’s it, I’ll be glad to go. I love to go to weddings and this is such an odd one.” “Indeed it is,” roguishly, and then added under his breath, “in more ways than one.” When John had donned his “Sunday best” and had hitched the mule to the wagon, they started to the Cross Roads. At the front, John saw the roadster. His eyes became big and he stared at Helen. She stepped into her car and called to Nelson to ride with her. John looked at the two; then with a muttered, “dog-gone” and an injured air, climbed into the wagon and yelled “git-up” to his mule. There were two roads which led to the Cross Roads; one was better but longer than the other. Helen took the long one and John the short- cut. She drove slowly in order not to reach there sooner than John, so she said; and he drove furiously in order to get the thing over with in a hurry. They drove up at the same time in front of a large, ivy-covered old house where an aged man and a young girl were standing on the porch. As they ascended the grass-grown yard, John saw the girl. He paled as he gazed at her with a startled expression. Nelson, too, was surprised. “Why, that’s the girl to whom John first proposed,” he whispered to Helen. John shook hands with the Justice of the Peace and spoke a tremu- lous “Howdy” to the girl. Then turning to Helen he said: “Here she is. Judge. She come this mornin’ to my house in her audimobile, instid of waitin’ to come here this evenin’.” Both Helen and the other girl started, and the la tter began to cry. “Oh, John, yer writ me that yer’d marry me,” she sobbed. “I didn’t tell yer my shore nuf name and I let yer send my letters to Miss Hattie’s box ’cause I wanted to surprise yer. I meant to marry yer all the time. I was just a-teasin’. 1 thought yer’d come back, but yer didn’t; and when I seen that advertisement in the paper, I had to answer it, ’cause I couldn’t let yer marry nobody but me,” she wailed, rushing into the arms of the old man. The Justice of the Peace frowned over his glasses, which were dan- gerously near the end of his nose, thrust his hands into the pockets of his “go-to-meeting” trousers, and glared at John. John stared amazed at his sweetheart, at Helen, and then at Nelson. “Lord, what’s it all mean?” he desperately appealed to Nelson. “I thought she wuz the one I wuz to marry,” pointing to Helen with a shaky finger. “Oh, no. It’s all a mistake,” Helen hastened to assure him. “I didn ' t know that you thought 1 was to be your bride. I stopped in your house this morning, out of the rain,” she explained. Helen and John turned accusingly toward Nelson, who stood “hold- ing both his sides.” “Dog-gone yer. Nelson, why didn’t yer tell me? Yer knowed I thought she wuz my gal.” Just then the sun came out, his sweetheart smiled through her tears, and John forgot his anger. He married his advertised-for-bride and they rode home together in the old wagon. They were happy then and ever afterward. Helen and Nelson went for her father, but he had gone home on the afternoon train. Nelson, having decided that he would be a crowd at John’s home, rode to Waycross with Helen, and that night he called to see her. The next day he returned home, that is, to John’s home, packed his things, and went back to Waycross to get “copy” and — But sure, you know the rest.

Tis in the stillness of a woodland glade, A trickling stream, and checkered sky abo ve The rich perfume of needle carpets strewn. And budding plants the warm, mild air has made All promise that the message of the dove Heard from its snug retreat among the pines. Is verily a harbinger of Spring, Assurance, that the drear, dark days have fled. Far o er the hill there indistinctly comes The sound of bells now heard as in a dream; Then vanishes the lovely scene around And while the bells from village steeples sound, I bow my head in humble, reverent prayer.

A. thinks that variety is the spice of life and gives a mock basket-ball game in the grand parlor, instead of hav- ing the annual reception.

Agnes Clark tried to get gay and had ’em twice. She ought to Hooverize better than that.
