Most of us took only a momentary interest in that phe- nomenon, perhaps some ignored the fact, until one day, by chance or otherwise, we found ourselves pupils in this school, and then our indifference changed to keen interest and enjoyment in every phase of life and activity within Branksome Hall. Ten years have slipped past and, in spite of the many changes, it is the same old Branksome. Perhaps those who followed us think it has im- proved with experience. Be that as it may, if they are enjoying its life half as much as we did, they will be grateful to the kind fate which brought them to it. Many miles divide former friends and classmates now, but we can always rejo ' ce in the common bond of having spent our school days together at Branksome. T 1 1 K n { A N K S 0 AI E S L () (i A N 11 Thost were hai)py times — the workiii ; ' days and play days ! Perhaps the latter looked brightest then, but after all it was the satisfaction of having ' accomplished some liard task which gave the keen pleasure to the play-time. If all the year were playing holidays, To sport woidd be as tedious as to woi ' k. With the encouragement and companionship of teachers and fellow-pupils, we had our first lessons in finding ways to accom- plish the tasks assigned. Having left this sympathetic atmosphere to take up our various duties, we are able to apply these lessons, and get keen pleasure in doing so. May the next ten years find our school enjoying ever-increasing success, and may we, her children, ever strive to be loyal to the high ideals which she has set before us ! 12 T II l ; I ' .

To be ( ' ailed upon to write for ])ubli( ' iiti()ii is (piitc dis(;(jneertinf ' - to one who has not the pen of a ready writer ; but the I ' efpiest was made too graciously to be denied. My visits io Banff and Lake Louise impressed me with the impor tance of our National Parks, where great beauties and won- ders of nature, just as they came from the hand of the Creator, are rendered acee.ssible by the building of roads and the opening up of trails; and where the fauna and flora of these mountain districts are protected from the vandalism, Avhich, through ignor- ance, selfishne-s or greed, would result in their extermination. The Dominion Government set apart, some years ago, several National Parks throughout the Rocky IMountain ranges, and recently organ- ized a separate branch of the Department of the Interior for their administration. To meet the conditions of comfort, convenience and safety, the policy of this Paries Branch necessarily relates to the quality of the service of whatever kind rendered by those dealing with the tourist : character of accommodation ; protection against extortion ; the construction and maintenance of roads and trails of first-class character, in order that the var ' ous attractions may be comfortably and safely reached; supervision over sanitary conditions; water supply, horses and vehicles, guides, drivers, charges and rates; furnishing of full and reliable information; and, generally, ' n not only reducing discomforts to a minimum but in so administering matters that the tourist shall be as satisfied with the treatment received while in the parks as he inevitably must be with the scenic wonders he has viewed. The efforts of the branch are be ' ng directed towards an organization dealing effectively with respect to details concerning all these various mat- ters. — (Commissioner ' s Report for 1912.) These parks attract a large toiirist traffie and promise to be- come an important source of revenue for the nation. The register of the museum at Banff showed the wide-spread interest in the beaut ' es and wonders of this district; toui ' ists from almost all parts of the world had registered, and in many cases had filled up the column for Remai ' ks with expressions of surprise and admira- tion. The steady increase in the numbers visiting these parks is THE B 1{ A X K M () iM K SLOGAN 1:5 so ) ' euiarkal)le llial it is wiu ' tliy of notice; tlio ofHcial numbers for the K ' oeky RTountaiiis Park are as follows: There were 8,516 vis- itors I ' eui-leiHHl in in 19] ' 2 there were 73,725. ' 1 he main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway passes throns ' h the Rocky Mountains Park, the Yoho Park and the blacier Park; excellent hotels, most of them expensive, fnrnish accommodation for tourists who wish to become acquainted with the various points of interest, ' the (irand Trunk Pacific Railway, wliich strik ' es west- ward from I ' dmonton for Prince Rupert, has I ' ec enlly made access- il)le a new woiuU ' rland of ma,uniHeent si-eneiw. It follows up the valley of the Athabasca River, throuiih Jasper Nat ' onal Park, and ahuo.st sk-iits the base of Mt. Robson (13,700 feet), the hig-hest peak in the Canadian Rockies. ' i he drives from Banff to Lake Alinnewanka, and from the Chalet Lak ' e Louise to Moraine Lake, are particularly charming and re]ilete wiUi scenic interest. The excurs ' an to Ijake Minne- wanka ineliides a deliuhtfiil trip on the lake, wliich lies in a long, nari ' ow, winduig valley, clo-ely surrounded by almost Alpine peaks. 1 he road to loraiue Lake, the waters of which have a tropical beauty of color and brilliancy, winds round the slopes of Mt. Temple, the highest peak of this district, down into the valley of the Ten Peaks, affording a fine view of the peculiar and striking rock formation called the Tower of Babel. These drives are memorable to those who have had the pi ' ivilege of enjoying them. Our thoughts turn naturally from the captivating scenery of these great mountain ranges to the Alpine Club of Canada, Avbich has had, in the few years of its existence, a wide-spread influenee in giving publicity to the mountain regions of Western Canada. Information about the club is here, for the sake of accuracy, cfrroted fi ' om (me of their publications. The primary objects of the Alpine Club of Canada are: ICxploration and study of the Alpine tracks of the Dominion; and the informing of Canadians and of the world at large concerning the unrivalled attractions of these regions as a playground. The work of the club is as follows : Every summer a camp is held of a week to ten days ' duration in some place convenient for climbing, where its members may learn correct methods and become aeciuainted with glaciers and lakes and every Alpine feature of the mountains. Care is taken to select a spot contiguous to the largest number of trmly Alpine peaks. Each year the Canadian Alpine Journal is published, containing articles of scientific im- poi-tance and of mountaineering interest, attract ' vely illustrated by original photrgi ' aphs : this is cir-culated all over the world, even as far as Imlia and Japan. In addition, the club has built itself a charming home on a commanding site at Banff, the capital of the Rocky Mountain Park. The camps are held, as a rule, in T II K I ' , l A X K SO .M S L(J t; A N ■ Inly, ;is llir ciitiilil Mills I ' lir i-liiiibiii ' j ' iii ' i ' , ' _ ' i ' iii ' r;i 1 1 s ' , iiiosi fnvorjihli ' ;il ili,-i1 lime.

A later camp was held to attempt the ascent of jMt. Robson : two snceeeded in reaching the summit of this ] Ionareh of the Rockies. one of them beinjr the Swiss guide. The following description, quoted from the fjondon Times. gives even the uninitiated some idea of th arduous character of th ' s mountaineering feat: The valley is only some 2,700 feet above sea level, and the mountain rises straight and. in a sheer face of 11,000 feet, a face of black, rock-ribbed, with transverse bands of snow, and lit np by a great h.inging glacier on the eastern shoulder of the summit. The members of the Alpine Club of Canada are drawn not only from Canada, but also from the United States, C4reat Britain and Switzerland, some of the most noted mounta ' neers and scientists of the Avorld to-day being enrolled. The various physical features of AYestern Canada are on such a large scale that words fail to convey any adequate impression of their extent and grandeur; the West must be seen to be under- stood and appreciated. Truly, God has given us a good land : if o ir people have the ' righteousness ' that exalteth a nation there is a great and noble future ahead of our country. Let us not forget that the nation is made up of individuals, and that each of us has a share, noble or ignoble, in the process of nation-building for Canada. In closing, it is suggested that true patriotism as well as the love of the beautiful in natui ' e should lead the members of our Alumnae to ])ecome intimately ac(|uahited with C anada. fi ' om Atlantic to Pacific, for Fair is oni- lot — O goodly is oiii- hei ' itage. i IAR(iT. T. SCOTT. HE opening of tKe scliool this year was saddened by the death of Miss Hume, which occurred after a brief illness during the hohdays, on August the first. Miss Hume had been a member of the staff since shortly after the founding of the school, and had come into such intimate contact with every student, that each one must mourn the loss of a dear and personal friend. We take this opportuity of expressing our sorrow for the bereaved family and of assuring them of the deepest sympathy of everyone at Branksome Hall.

The old man took the lad by the hand, And the child knew he had found a friend. The days passed on and the hoy still sta -ed With the old musician, and with him played On the old violin, in the attic bare, That was at the top of a rickety .stair. But the year ' s end came and the man grew ill, And sat all day by the window sill. The boy went out to work for food. And earned a little as best he could. On Christmas night when the wind howled ' round. And soft snow had fallen over the ground. The old mau turned to the boy with a cry, My boy, my turn has come to die. I must leave you alone in this lonesome land. But scatter kind deeds with a generous hand. He looked for the boy beside him, but lo. An angel stood in a radiant glow. I am the boy, he said to the man. You come to this earth to complete the span Of years set for you by Christ above, And here you work to deserve Plis love. You have proven yourself and earned your place, And now ere long you shall see His face, For ' Unto the least of these ' you gave Half of all that you here had saved. And now you will go to that world above, Where all is joy and peace and love. The angel ceased, the old man sighed. For the Heavenly Gates had opened wide. And in he passed to take his place. At last he gazed on his Master ' s face. ALLEEN ERB.

The ij ' uests, who nniiihei ' ed over t ' ii ' hty. included the principals, staff and , ' raduatini; ' class of Branksome Hall, and the Alumnae uirls who had conu ' from far and neai ' . All those i)resent were look-nu ' their best, and seemed to be brimming ' over with good health and spirits. The scene v as cer- tainly one to strike .joy to the hearts of the mendiers of the execu- tive. The room, which looked most attractive, was filled with small tables, each decorated with red and white carnations and ferns, while in the centre of the room was a larger table, decorated with red and white peonies, at which the executive wej e seated. The place-cards, toast-lists and menu were ornamented with the Brank- some colors. At the conclusion of the dinner proper, a few words of wel- come were spoken by the President, after which the toasts were proposed and drunk. The first toast to Their Majesties, which wns proposed by the Vice-Pres ' dent, Mrs. Plant, in a very loyal speech, was drunk most heartily. The second, The School, was proposed bv Irs. Henry and responded to by Miss Scott, our Hon- orary President. Then came the toast to The Principals, pro- posed by ] Iiss Ethel Ames, and responded to by Miss Kead. In her response, I Iiss Read traced the advancement in the education of women diiring the last hundred years in Canada. Next fol- lowed the toast to the Absent INIembers, proposed by IMiss Edna King and repl ' ed to by Mrs. Thomas Keefer. of Ottawa, in a letter read by ] riss Hilda Rutherford. liss IMareia Allen proposed the toast to the Graduating Class in a burst of poetry, and ATiss Ainslie lci lichael replied. Lastly came the toast to Our Fu- tures, proposed by IMiss Reda Fullerton and responded to by our treasurer, IM ' ss Jean Morton. In rc plying, Jean drew aside the curtain of the future, and in truly prophetic style showed ns our- . elves twenty years hence. The business part of the meeting followed, and during the election of officers Miss ] Iillichamp very kindly took the chair. The officers elected for ih season 1913-1914 were as follows: Editor-in-Chief of The Branksome Slogan — Al ' ce Anderson. Business Managei ' — !Marcia Allen.

Pal•i . .hily ITlli, Dear Sloiian licadci-s, — I can liardl; liclicve tluit we have J4 ' i)t 1o I ' aris, and ( ' (iiiu ' all the way from |-)i-ist(il in oui ' own oai ' , l)ut such is the case. Th cai ' has hceii iunnin ' heaut ' t ' nlly and the roads are perfect. We spent four days in l.nndon. k avin - there on Tuesday morninji ' . It was pourinj ' rain, hut, as you know, one doesn ' t put ( ft ' outings on account of rain in En.uhrind, and the roads are so hard that it doesn ' t matter much if they are wet . We had a calm and peaceful drive of seventy niik s to Folkestone, which place we reached ' n time foi ' lun; h. We ate an extensive table d ' hote meal, rested for a while, then hoarded the boat, and crossed that channel of ill repute. P ven though I had established a very good record as a sailor, I had heard tales of other good sailors who had weath- ered many rough At ' antics only to succumb on this miserable little voyage. There was no great cause for alarm — just a nice, soothing motion — and we all reached Boulogne in good condition. We had planned to go r ' ght on to Abbeville for the night, expecting to get away from Boulogne about five o ' clock, but there was considerable delay in taking the ear off the boat, and by the time the motor-tank was filled with gasoline, and we had bought some sandwiches and fruit to eat on the journey, it was 7.30 and beginning to rain again. Imagine start ' ng off in the rain at that time of day to drive fifty miles in a foreign ' ' ouutry, with the most meagre smattering of the language and in blissful ignorance as to our route ! It happened to work cut all r ' ght, but before we had gone many miles we realized what a foolish enterprise it was. We didn ' t pa.ss through one village where we could have spent th night with even a suggestion of comfort, and, if we had lost our way, or had any other mishap, it would have meant camping in the car unt ' l moi-ning. The French roads are fine for speeding, and we made pretty good time before it got very dark, but when we finally got to Abbeville and drew up at the Tete de Boeuf it was nearly half- past ten. and a very weary party we were. We hadn ' t felt a bit certain that we were on the right I ' oad. and we saw very few people to ask. Several of the villages were in darkness, and we met practically no one on the road for miles. These little village-, which eons ' st of one .street with cottages on both sides, are peopled by farm lal orers who live close together instead of each one livinu ' right on his farm. Some of them nmst be a long way from th ii ' work. ' I ' II I-: p. K, A N K s () . H sl()(;a. Fiincy oiii- r-eiici ' wln ' ii llic lios1 of 1lic ' ' I ' etc ](; J or;uf greeted us in P n ilish, iinri jissiind u- IIkiI hi- IkkI accommodation for us. The place w;is )io1 lliat it miyhl liavc been, but the rooms seemed tolcraljly clean, and we were all pretty {rlad to hit the feathers. In the morn ' iiii ' we made a preleuce of eatiii r Ijreakfast, but the repast left much to be desired (and we left much of it that was not desii ed). We set out about eleven, armed with ham f-and- wiehes and plums, and farther along we got a bottle of water at a dirty little tavern in a dismal village. Farther on .still, we stopped by the roadside aud ate what we were forced to call our lunch. It was a gloriou.s day, ajid tin. ' trip of a liuudred miles to Par ' s was delis ' htful. We passed aercs iipoi] acres of fine-looking farm land. The country in tint ]nii-t of Fi ' ;ince is very beautiful, but the villages are the most desolate-looking j)laces. mostly very small and s-:o poorly kept. After the quaint little villages of Eng- land, with their picturesque stene cottages and profusion of flowers, the contrast is very marked. The roads are almost as good as those of England, but quite different, hi that there are many long stretches of straight road. The curves are, of course, more picturesque but not so conducive to speed. We drove through miles and miles of avenue, bordered by fine, tall trees — poplar, chestnut and a species of maple, they seemed to be — and we marvelled at their numbers. It was really surprising how little diificulty we had in finding our way. My Est-ce la route de Paris? was quite effectual and though in most cases I had very little idea as to what my inform- ants were saying, they invariably pointed out the direction, and we felt very grateful for the national weakness for gestures. Early in the afternoon we reached the gates of Paris, and were arrested (I mean stopped) as we were about to drive throueh, by an imperative repetition of Essence! essence! which, in our innocence, we imag-iiied was a request to see the license for run- ning the car. Father dived into his pocket and brought foT ' th various and sundry papers, which he presented in turn to the official at hand, but all of them failed to have the desired effect. After much wasted effort and hicomprehensible lansruaffe on the part of the said official, and much amusement and confusion on our side, some interested bystanders enouired in French if we were German. I answered Anglais, and foi thwith our man disap- peared and returned with a paper on which was written, Have you any mineral o ' ls? It oceiirred to someone that he meant gasoline and I renlied Oui. He wrote again. How much? and, after con- idting with the chauffeur, I told him the number of gallons. Whereupon he made it clear that what he wanted was money, so after handing over two or three francs we went gla.dly T 1 1 K li R A N K 8 O : I K S L O ( J A N 21 on our i y ajiniii. We fouiul out l.ilt ' i- that Essence ' ' is French for tjasoline and that there is a tax on gasoline £!,o ni ' into Paris. We drove for some distance hefoi ' e we got into the heart of the city, and then we stopped up every few minutes to enquire for Rue Castigiione and Hotel liOtti. When you consider that all we knew about our destination was the name of the street and the hotel, and that the answers to our enquiries were for the most part unintelligible, it is ratlier remarkable that we only went two blocks out of our way in reaching the hotel. ' W e were greatly amused at our chauffeur at one of the very busy corners. A num- ber of motors had been stopped in a line, and we drove past them, instead of taking our place behind the others. A gendarme ru.shed upon us, and began to remonstrate, but when our chauffeur an- swered him in Engl ' sh, he decided not to bother with us and turned away with a significant smile. Whereupon the chauffeur, as he started up ' the car again, called after him, Which way to the hotel? It was really very funny. Well, we got to the Lotti, and had not been long in our rooms before we were sipping afternoon tea in good old English fash ' o]], and I as-ure you that tea reached a spot that hadn ' t been touched for some time. W e are near the shops here, and not far from the Louvre, the Opera House, etc. W e haven ' t done any sightseeing as yet, but we went out right after breakfast this morning to some of the fascinating little shops on the Rue de Rivoli. We are planning a trip to A ersailles for to-morrow if it is f ine. I think I hear the family discussing in seath ' ng terms iny weakness for letter-writing and it behooves me to break away. If you see any of the old Branksomites please give them my love, and write when you can. With all sorts of good wishes, Sincerelv, E. U. A. T II !•; I ' .

Each g ' irl as she entered the yynina.siurri was f reeted with loud laughter, and such remarks as. Doth baby talk? Wh reth your dolly, baby? and My mamma wouldn ' t let me even wear a bracelet ' cause she said children should never wear jewels. ' ' The last to enter the crowded room was Betty Travi.s, com- monly known as Bones, smiling ' sweetly on the whole a sembly. Being nearly five feet n ' ne and very slender she looked almost breakable. Her costume was a little hand-embroidered dres.s, end- ing quite three inches above her knees, a wide scarlet sash, a very short pair of white socks and little black slippers. The short- ness of the skirt and socks gave her a never-ending, always-going- np appearance that made us gasp. Her pretty brown hair was parted on one s ' de of her face and tied with a large bow matching her sash. The ringlets were really marvelous and they had been made in such a short time. Tender her arm hi carried an enormous teddy-bear, around whose neck was a searlet ribbon. Her conduct during the evening whs quite in keeping with her appearance. When they played musical rhairs she didn ' t think she ' d play, ' cause of erush ' ng her dress, so sat smi iiig on th platform. THE HKAi KS()I rE SL()(iAN 23 WMtclriiii ' the otliors. Suddenly her smiles tufiied to tears, for she saw a lar •er teddy-bear than her own. Nothing ' wonld comfoi ' t the little iiii ' l till we told her that her Tcnhly was m A moi ' e intelli- Si ' i ' iit lookin.ii ' . Even if she did not know what that meant, it sounded nice anyway. Quite happy a ■ain she fell asleep in the big arm- ehair, peacefully sucking her thumb. No one disturbed her till supper-time, and then she was taken down the long passage to the gii-ls sitting-room, where a lovely surprise awaited all. Four long low tables, decorated with streamers of ivy leaves, foi ' med a cross ' n the centre of the room. The bii ' thday cake at the head, with its chocolate icing and Y. W. C. A. written in pink lettering, was so lovely Betty said it was awful to cut it, yet she seemed to enjoy her sh-ire. Each Baby was given a dish of ice eream. all pink and white and yellow, and a piece of the very stickiest candy. After supper Betty received a lovely doll with a wobbly hccHl for being the best baby, and thus ended a very l)leasant evening. GRACE PONTON. HEART CULTURE.

How we did enjoy the ride in the fresh mornin air — up north YoDge Street, thi ' .iimh sleepy little vilhiges. lu one place Ave Aveie annised to see a cow being- led aion ' on the sidewalk. Oh! how gl;id I was lhat 1 was not a pedestrian tlu ' re. Farther on in a peaeeful little graveyard we saw a large family washing hnng out to dry. ()n the farms great yellow pumpkins were ripening in the sun. and in the farmyards strutted fine turkeys, ideal for roasting for Thanksgiving dinnei-. Our first stop was at the little toll-gate at Hi-adford, a relic of by-gone days, but still extracting a toll from all who pass through. We inquired of the old gate-keeper as to the best hotel for a dinner. He directed us to the Queen ' s. saying it was a very good hotel. In fact. hi- added, I ' ve stayed there my.-e!f. On hearing this v ;nderiul re: ' onunendation we decided to try it. It proved rather old and a tiitie uisty, but adequate to satisfy the wants of the inner man. At peace with the world, we once more started on i ur way, up and down long billowy hills. In each valley there nestled a V llage and when we approached one of thase v. ' e besame aware of some excitement. ;-i;d s.) stopi)pd to ascertain the cause of it. Evervcne was gaping after a iniitorcycie. on which was a you.ng man. with a gii-l in the basket chair beside him. In the centi-e of a knot of people was a c;)untry gig harnessed to a forlorn-look- ing h;)rse. Someone was helping an old man and woman into the wagnn, and a man of our party v alked over to ' nquire the cause of the excitement. He came back with a smile on his face. It ' s an elopement. he said, and hei- father and mother are going to give chase. And sure enough, the old horse ambled out into the road with the fai-mer jigging at the I ' eins and trying- t,) urge him to a trot. Poor old couple, we murmured, and yet deep down in my heart I felt a secret sympathy for that up-to-date young Lochinvar. ' We foinid the small town of Bai ' rie sufficiently interesting to while away a cnujile of hours thei ' e. It possesses an ice ci ' eam parlor which we younger members of the party found ve)-y attractive. It was aftei- sundown when we started home, but it was not dark, for the big, roinid moon mad the road bi-ight and clear befoi ' e us. We wei ' e gliding smoothly along ami someone started T 1 r JO B R A N K S 0 M E S L 0 (J A X to sing, Wheii you come to tlie end of a perfect day, when bang! a tire went flat. We all got out, feeling a little jarred by this interruption to our enjoyment ; hut someone discovered m deserted- looking liouse just baelv on the road. Exploring was suggested to occupy us while the tire was being mended, so three of ns went tremblingly up the little grassy pfith. ' i ' he front door was boarded up and through a broken window we saw nothing, in the moon- light, but a small square room. One courageouvS lady suggested Wciilving around to the back. Personally I was just a wee bit frightened. The moonlight made the path as bright as day. but the shadows were so very, very black. However, we followed the path around the house and once more peeped through a Avindow. Suddenly s(mieone clutched my arm. Look, she said, look, and I looked, and saw what made me stifil ' with fear — the glowing red bowl of a man ' s pipe. Well, we didn ' t sci ' cam, but we fairly flew around to the motor again. Not for anything Avould we have told those cold, unsympathetic men-folk what we had seen. They might have laughed at us, and, likely as not, they would go off and explore for themselves, leaving iis to the tender mercies of any wild beasts that might be prowling around. But the brave lady made the remark, in a very quavering voice, that It w-was really a v-very nice night, wasn ' t it ' ? Then we all climbed into the motor and clutched one another very tightly indeed. When we had started again, Avhen gradually the soft pink glow in the south- ern sky became in reality the electric lights of Toronto, our grasp on each other relaxed, for after all, we decided that, while that man ' s pipe had certainly not been a trick of the imagination, still it was just possible that it might have been a ti ' iek of the foxy old moon. DORA O. THOMPSON. T 1 1 !•; I ' , l; A K SO M K S l () (; A It w;is ;i hciiiil ll ' iil .July day, and llic lilUc inli-t ol ' tin- Atlanti ; Ocean was as blue as llic sky. It was dotti ' d. too. with littl ; foam- tipped waves wfiich rescrnbled the fleeey clouds ov(;rhead. From amonu Hh ' l uslirs on the shore of the inlet glided a frraceful red canoe, ( ' (uitainiim a younji ' man in white flannels and a yount? t irl in a white middy suit. She was very beautiful, and the early morniniz ' snn made her hair glisten like spun gold. It also caused something else to listen that juoi-ning. On the girl ' s left hand was a beautiful diamunrl ring which sparkled and gleamed like a tiny sun. They paddled about for almost an houi-, thi- girl ' dly leaning back among the cushions, dip])ing her hands in the cool salt water, when tlie tinkle of a bell brought them out of their reveries and caused them to hurry back to the shore. While drying her hands after leaving the canoe, the girl sud- denly uttered an exclamation of surprise, causing the young man to turn from haul ' ng up the canoe on the dock. Why, Marjorie, whatever is the matter. ' You look as if you had lost your best friend. So I have, she held out her hand. Look. Kobert, my ring is gone — oh, whates ' er shall I do ' she wailed. I ' m afraid there ' s nothing we can do now because we don t know where to look for it. It must have come otf when yon dipped your hands in the water. Oh, dear, I feel so badh% I could just sit down and cry my eyes out, said Marjorie. Oh. please don ' t do that, ] [ar. Come up to the cottage,, and get your breakfast, and then you ' ll feel better, ' pleaded Robert. No, I won ' t ever feel better, I know, she said mournfully, as she led the way up to the cottage along a winding path. Hurry up, called her mother from the verandah. Fve got a surprise for you. I ' ve got a surprise for yon, Marjorie replied. I ' ve lost my engagement ring in the water, and I don ' t know what to do about it. ' ' By the time she had finished her explanation they were all seated around the breakfast table, at one end of which lay a beautiful, broiled and parsley-bedecked blue fish. Oh, mother! what a lovely surpr ' se ! When was it (•aught. ' said MarjoT ' ie.

It lias only been ont of the water about three- ([narters of an hour, said her mothei-, as she began to serve it. With appetites whetted by the fresh moining air, they began eagerly to enjoy the first of the season ' s greatest delicacies. Oh, what do you think I bit on? cried Marjorie suddenly. AVhat? cried everyone, your ring? ' ' No — a fish-bone. ' ' CATHARINE LANGDON. At the last meeting of the Y. W. C. A. in June, just before school closed, the girls who were then leaving voted to take up a definite branch of work. It was unanimously decided to pay for the support of a little orphan girl in India. The name of our little charge is Anusaya, and she was born on the 26th of May, 1913, so is only six months old. At present she is in the Babies ' Home at Nasik, but when she is old enough she will be sent to school in Manmad, where the other little Branksome orphans, that the Y. W. C. A. supports, are living. Aliss Harve.v is in charge of the home at Nasik, and any of the girls Avishing to write her about our baby or to send any presents ma.v do so b.y writing to the following address : Miss Harvey, Babies ' Home, Nasik, Bombay Presidency, India. Subscriptions for the support of Anxisaya should be sent before January 1st, 191-1, to Grace Greer, 99 York Street, London. To her support all the old girls of the Y. W. C. A. are asked to contribute. GRACE GREER. Vice-President Y. W. C. A. and Representative of the Old Girls. T II K i; i; A , K so M K S LO(; A X ?6ranhsom£ ?8 lls ' The hells of which I ;iin iilxjiil I i speak are not Ihe fair Brarik- soiiie belles which (-(Jine and j o in our iialls, hut the Braiiksome hells whieh are always with us. Thi ' V are one of the most impor- tant factors in our life here. They call vis to work and to play, to meals and to bed ; sortie we obey cheerfully, others reluctantly, hut all i)i ' oniptly of course. The most imjjortant bell in Brank- some is the Rising ' Bell. It is of quite a different order from those that rinjj- so fi-equently during the rest of the day. It is rung l)y hand, not by electricity, and belongs to the ancient order of bells. Its work once done, it rests in calm dign ' ty at the end of the hall until six-forty-five the next morning. Occasionally it leaves its superior jxisition to come to the rescue of its fellow- workers, the electric l)ells. when they are exhau ' ted and refuse to work. The Rising Bell is perhaps the least welcome sound we hear in the eourse of the day. Before the dawn, when it seems to us indeed that night has just begun, it arouses us, that is, most of us, from our slumbers and calls us back from dreamland to the stern realities of our daily existence. This bell is followed by one of quite a different character, one miieh more welcome to our ears, the Breakfast Bell. which has just one fault. It always seems to ring a little too soon, and is invariably greeted with loud cries of surprise. The next bell is also a welcome one, for it summons us to the morning walk, and who is there that does not enjoy a brisk walk in the morning air with plenty of good company and so many interesting things to see? At nine o ' clock the bells ring to call us to classes and study; and from that time onward, at half-hour intervals throughout the day. the halls resound Avith bells until nine-thirty p.m, when Silence claims her evening reign — sometimes. There is cue bell, however, which some time may break the silence of the night and strike terror to our hearts, and that is the Fire Bell. When all is quiet save for the gentle snoring of a dear room-mate or the nibbling of some mouse in the waste-paper basket, the Fire Bell will sound forth its loud alarm. Every one will be aroiised at once and will ask in feai ' , Is the building on fire? and as soon as the way for escape is known we Avill rush to safety, to find that it is not a fire but a fire drill. May that not occiu ' in our time ! T II I ' ] 1 U A X K S () M K S 1. () (i A X 2!)

On Wednesday afternoon it amiounces our callers, and each time it rings it causes a thriil of excitement througlriut the stud.v, as each girl thinlcs That nia.v be a caller for me. On Satui ' day at noon it announces our friends who have eallerl to take us out for the afternoon, or perhaps for ths week-end. This same bell also announces the faithful postman three times a da,v. I know from old Branksomites that these sounds all bring back glad numiories. Sometimes we gi ' ow tired of the constant ringing, bringing to us the constant reminder of some duty to be dine: but after all among the true Friends Avho are heiping us to do our work, and to form habits of promptness, we must surely count with iiratitmU ' — tlie Rranksome Bells.

As cnr work has just been resumed foi- this year, there are not as et many meetings to report. However, we are phmn ' ng t.i do more work than ever this year, and hope we may be able to accomplish all we have planned. At cue of our meetings Miss Robson, of the China Inland lission, gave us a very interesting account of her work among the Chinese women of Toronto. Another meeting took the form of a Baby-Party. Each me7n- ber paid an entrance fee of 25 cents and came dressed as a baby. The costumes were .splendid, Jean Kennedy receiving the prize for the best one. After several games in the gymnasium, the party adjourned to the girls ' sitting-room, wheie supper was spread on the kindergarten tables. The I ' oom was prettily decorated with autumn leaves and red lierries, and in the ( entre of the table rcpos:ed a lai ' ge birthday cake, made by the Branksome cook, in h nor of the second birthday of our Y.

Some of the girls dressed in costumes to show us the kind of cloth- ing the women of India wear. A collection was taken to help iTicrease the funds of the Y. W. C. A.

After the election of officers a short dance brought the evening to a close. October 31st. At the second meeting of the society, our annual Hallowe ' en masquerade was held. When all had arrived, partners were chosen for the grand march, which was led in truly weird style by three ghosts. Starting from the house, we proceeded through the dimly lighted passage to the gymnasium, which was gaily decorated in orange and black. Overhead stars twinkled, and the moon shone brightly from a distant corner. After circling the room a number of times, masks were re- moved, causing many surprises and much merriment. The next hour was devoted to dancing, after which refresh- ments were served in the house. On returning to the gymnasium, prizes were awarded for the two funniest costumes, the honors going to two girls who caused much amusement, Kathleen Cahill as Sis Hopkins, and Jean Kennedy as S ' mple Simon. Too much cannot be said in praise of all the costumes, which were both clever and original. Among them might be mentioned several old- fashioned ladies. Red Riding Hood, a sailor boy and girl, two or three suffragettes and a policeman, whose services, we are pleased to say, were not needed. Later in the evening everyone took part in Hallowe ' en games. In one corner of the room in a vei ' y artistic bower of pine boughs a gyp .v added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening by clever fortime telling. The ringing of the bell brought to a close all too soon a very jolly evening. JESSIE LUCAS, Secretary.

We vent out to the oyninasiiim and played several l;;uuc :. One of the games was that everyone had to make a tis.sue-papei- hat, in a given nnmber of minutes. Many fa hionable hats am] caps were made, the prize for the best one being won by Helen Dewar. Refreshments were served in the g ' rls ' sitting-iocm and then we all went to bed. As Preparatory service came on Friday, October 3rd, th rtgular Heta Kappa meeting was postponed. For the girls who were in, the gymnasimn was tni ' ned into a small art gaLery, and groups of things representing many of the Avorld ' s famous pictures weie exhibited. The first prize was won by Irma Brock, who suc- ceeded in guessing all the p ' ctures. The booby prize was carri- d olf by Helen Ross. The first concert we attended was on Tuesday evening, Oc- tobei- 7th. when we heard Madame Melba, as-isted by Edmund Buike, the famous Canadian baritone, and Marcel Moyse, a flutist. Madame IMelba sang- many well-known songs which were very much enjoyed. On Friday evening. October 24th, we were to have heard Paderewski, but owing to his illness the concert was postponed. As it was too late :n the week to arrange for an elaborate recital, an impromptu concert was given by the house girls in the sitting- ro.nn. Piano solos were given by P. Be3ker, A. Bagg, M. Kern, K. Laugdon, L. laclennan, S. Kneeland, A. McGhie, H. Jarvis, D. Adams and V. Zybach; the vocal solos on the programme were given by K. Cahill and Jean IMcKay; the readings by G.

So careful is the handling of these finer fabrics from mylady ' s wardrobe that the Parisian service has grown to be a household synonym for carefulness. This principal of laundry efficiency has been reached through the ap- plication of deft fingers, watchful eyes and approved appliances. The test of laundry is in the treatment of lingerie. The purity of the soap, the process of cleansing, drying and a thousand and one little details must be so perfect that not a fragile strand of the linen suffers. This is an exacting test; but THE PARISIAN LAUNDRY meets the test triumphantly every hour of every laundry day. In THE PARISIAN LAUNDRY a special department is devoted to this service. These articles are given into the care of experienced laundresses. Under their watchful eyes the most delicate lace blouse meets with no injury. The ironing of these articles is done with electric irons automatically heated, so that burning or scorching is impossible. :: :: :: :: :: ;: :: The Parisian Laundry Company of Toronto Limited 602-610 KING STREET WEST When patroniiring advertisers — mention the Slogan.
