At night, when all is at peace and rest, VVe pass into the wondrous land of dreams, And then is when the world is at its best For all is as we wished, so it seems. Castles in Spain we build while we lie, And never think to see the towers fall, 'VVhen we have raised them almost to the sky They crumble, and the1'e's nothing left at all. But all our plans and fancies fade away, For dreams are meant for night and not for day. MABLE BALLARD GQ-sLiML1w. A Salina.

bevy of silk waists assembled in the dining hall. It is true that the young ladies were not very particular as to the difference in shade of waist and skirt, but their originality of taste was not to be disputed. Much to their amazement they were informed after breakfast that-thin white or tailored waists would do, pro- vided they were clean. Baseball began about March first, the expert players all being well versed in the new rules of the game, one of which is, to allow the ball to strike the bat. It is spring at last, the days are growing shorter and before long, some of us will leave Bishopthorpe forever. VVe all know finally how to study, how to make the most of golden hours ,U and there is not one of the forty-five girls who would not gladly re-live this happy, happy year. VVe have all made friendships which we mean to keep and to be worthy of in the years to- come. All of us have our faults, our virtues, our own ideas and opinions, but there is one thing which is equally divided among us and which we hold above all else, most dear, our honor. ' ' Bishopthorpe does not claim to be a society school, its aim is not to turn school girls into society belles, but rather to teach them to become intelligent, true, noble women. We are very loath to leave our dear school, for we know that never again will we be together as school girls. VVe leave behind us our best wishes for the future success o-f the school, and for the congeniality and happiness of the new girls next year and all the many years to come. Hail, Alma Mater, all glorious to view, To thee will we ever be faithful and true, Thy precepts to ,guide us, thy fame to renew. Hail to thee, Bishopthorpef' MARY GILMAN.

iinnern Qtnnerrlla r I-IE eventful day had at last arrived. Girls were standing around in groups, discussing what they V ii should wear to the Alpha Pi dance. This was the big dance of the season, so of course every one Eg wanted to look her prettiest. Only one girl stood aloof, trying hard to keep back the tears which B QE would come. jane, together with four of her school-mates had not been invited to the dance. She suffered many heart-aches and pangs during that day, for Jane, even if she was quiet and queer', as the girls termed her, loved dances as much as any of them. jane Austin was a girl not very easily understood. She loved to be alone and the girls, seeing this, did leave her sadly alone. Only her room-mate, Betty jo-nes, seemed to understand her, and many times had she bravely pointed out jane's good traits, when the other .girls criticised or made fun of her. jane, do pin this bow on, cried Betty, as, with brush in hand, she was vainly trying to make her toilet for the dance. O, dear, I am so rushed, how shall I ever get ready? Did you ever see a clock move so fast? Yes, that is in exactly the right place. O, Jane, I never could do without you. just then Mary poked her head in the door, a head done up in curlers, asked for the matches, and hastily withdrew it again. Now who's at the door? jane, put out an engaged sign. I canit bother with any one. But Betty, it is a telegram for you. I hope, dear, it is not bad news. Betty rushed for the telegram, tore it o-pen and then with a gasp sank down upon the bed. For a moment she sat with blanched face, gazing, half dazed, at a slip of paper, but the next minute she was pulling off her finery and packing a suit case. I shall just have time to catch the 7.45 train, she gasped, mother is ill and I must go home at once. You must go to the dance in my place, jane,-now donit say no. Oh, jane, won't yo-u helpxme pack this? jack Dennison has to have a partner and, besides, he has our dance orders filled and you just must say that you will go. Think what a position I shall be in if you don't go-I'll explain everything to him, so thereis a dear. I knew you would be willing to do me this favor. So saying, she fairly Hew out of the room to telephone. Q In the meantime Jane pondered things over as she slowly started to dress. At last she was going to the dance-her dream had come true. Betty would be placed in an awkward position if she did not go, so she thought that it would be best for her to take her place. And to think of it, she, Jane Austin, was going to the Alpha Dance, and with jack Dennison of all persons! He, the ideal of all the girls, wouldn't f Q. E' 4 1.
