Although the question, “describe the ideal man seemed too difficult for a number of those examined, the answers which we did receive were so uniformly excellent that it is difficult to choose between them. Before taking up the various parts of the question, we wish to call attention to two answers which show extraordinary depth of thought and remarkable facility of expression, although the two are widely different, one being a concise and well set forth summing up of all the answers, the other being written in verse of the most surpassing beauty and excellence. The first—The one whom one hasn't yet met (details unimportant). Miss Towle. The second— My ideal man has light brown hair. And eyes of grayish blue. His neckties charm the very air— They're of every rainbowed hue. He's a banker sympathizing. With a temperament divine; In height, six feet and rising. In weight, a hundred eighty-nine. He smokes cigars, cigarettes, a pipe. And likes the last very ripe. His name—ah, if I dared to tell. I'm afraid he'd be mad as anything. Mrs. Boyd.

He replied, ‘Yes, it does. IPs a regular brute of a bee'.” Edward Lear. Answer—This is a cute poeml E. Lear is portraying his outlook on life. The tree represents life, and the bee the little things of everyday that sort of annoy each and every one of us. By using alliteration (bored by a bee) and onomatopoeia (buzz) he makes the idea more vivid. The metre brings out the deep feeling in the poem. The whole rhythm is darling! Miss Brinsmade. Answer—Painful suspense, aggravated by the discomfort of the situation, induces uncharitable words about a perfectly innocent insect who is living his own life in his own way and giving expression to perfectly natural emotions. Miss Morrison. A ns wet—That his bore is worse than his buzz. Miss Meyer. A ns wet—St u ng! Miss Bustard. Page Sixteen
