A good front has its place — when the outward attractiveness is indica- tive of inward merit. But mere front is only deception. Gourlay Pianos are not made to put on a good front — never. The Gourlay takes its, place with those names in every line of business that pass from lip to lip as quality and honor unquestioned. Gourlay superiority is built in the back as well as the front — and in every nook and corner of the piano, whether seen or unseen. Anything that could even be mistaken for slightly skimping is made impossible in the Gourlay factory.

Much has been written in the past few years on this question, but we feel that Canadians do not yet reahze the menace to their country, which is found in the influx of Orientals into our most Western Province. The question is not the less of great national importance, because for the moment it obtrudes itself mainly in British Columbia. It is rather the graver because of that, for British Columbia is far from the populous centres of Canada, and its representation is so small at Ottawa, that protests seem of little avail. When in the West a short time ago. Lord Northcliffe was- not only startled by the facts, but astonished at the lack of interest shown in them by Eastern statesmen and publicists. Historically, the immigration of the Orientals difl: ers greatly from that of our European immigrants. The Canadian Government frankly paid Europeans to settle in the country, gave them grants of land, and has cared for them, when, leaving the farms for work in the cities, they became the victims of industrial s tress. In contrast with this money expended on these settlers, Canada has derived an enormous sum every year from the head-tax imposed on Orientals. Does part of the lack of Federal interest in the danger of these immigrants arise from the fact that they bring in annually such a substantial revenue ? The circumstances under which the Chinese first came to Canada are of interest. Although now they present a great and pressing problem, at the time of their first coming they filled a great need, and performed a service to our country. The great influx of Chinamen came with the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. This company ' s contract stipulated that the line be built across British Columbia in five years, at a time when there w ere no labourers to be had. The wages were good, but only bartenders, and riff-raff from the mining camps of California, who knew nothing of the work, and were worse than useless, were procurable. Then in April, 1882, two thousand Chinese labourers were brought across the Pacific in sailing-ships. No sooner had they landed than scurvy broke out, and hundreds of the poor wretches perished, lliose who remained were employed in building the railway. 18 THE BRANKSOMK SLOGAN In the main, it was coolie la1: our, and the hfe of a cooHe was not highly valued in the 80 ' s. By premature explosions in the tunnels and cuttings, hy scourge and accident, many died, but finally the great highway connecting East and West was com])leted by Chinese labour. The Japanese came later, only some thirty years ago, but, since their coming, the whole salmon industry, on that most famous of salmon rivers, the Fraser, has passed into Oriental control. Not only there, but all along the coast, where there are good fishing- waters, the yellow tide is creeping in. The story of Steveston will illustrate the fate of many other fishing towns. Here, where former- ly hardy white and red fishermen harvested their profitable crop from the sea, now every fishing boat for miles along the coast is owned and manned by Orientals. In this connection it should be remembered that Canada has only a few hundred miles of sea-coast on the Pacific, that it is almost entirely in British Columbia, and that it is to the fishing poi)ulation there, as in the Eastern Maritime Provinces, that she will turn to find men for her navy, when the time comes that she needs one. With the rapidly growing importance of the Pacific in world afifairs, it is tragic to realize that the maritime population in British Colum- bia is almost entirely from across the Pacific. What may this not lead to in the event o f complications with the Orient ? The encroachments of the yellow man are not restricted to the fishing industry. To the traveller in British Columbia, the most vivid impression that he carries away w ith him is that of the number of extensive fruit farms that he passes as he travels westward. And here, in the fairest and most beautiful of all Canadian vales, the yellow man will be found in possession. As all instance of this, con- sider the Okanagan Valley. It is still a land of lovely homes, of people of culture and means, and above all of loyalty, often most difficult to secure in settlers, and most indispensable to any country. From this valley, more than one-sixth of the population went to the war. In their absence the labour problem became very serious, whole farms were left vacant, crops unharvested. In many cases the financial strain proved too heavy, and lands had to be sold. Then a danger which had long menaced became acute. The only available purchasers and labourers for hire, w ere Japanese and Chinese. A few years later the soldiers, who had given up all to fight for Canada, returned to find thousands of Orientals on the land. Their labourers, their neighbors, and, in many cases, their employers were yellow. And now we see the original settlers, who have so splendidly shown their loyalty to the country, quietly moving away, and leaving the land to the Orientals, settlers who w ork only to send their money out of the country, who live in hovels, who contribute nothing to the beauty, culture or strength of the country, and who will never be assimilated with the white people. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 19 This is not true of the Okanagan alone. In all the most fruitful districts in British Columbia you will find the quiet but rapid invasion of the Oriental going on, and the silent withdrawal of the wdiites. In California, in 1919, there was great consternation when it was discovered that every thirteenth person was a Japanese, and yet in British Columbia, one person in every eight is an Oriental ; but birth records show that the proportions betw een white and yellow are changing with alarming rapidity. Last June, in the municipality of Richmond, Vancouver, out of twelve births registered in one day, only one was that of a white child, — all the rest were yellow. It is a part of the Oriental religion to have large families. A Canadian family of five children is exceptional. This is an average Japanese family. The entire population of British Columbia is five hundred thous- and. In the year 1920, nine hundred and seventeen Oriental chil- dren were born there, and twelve hundred and seventy-five Oriental immigrants admitted. That is, over two thousand were added to the already large yellow population in one year. These Orientals can never be assimilated. The purity of our race, and the purity of their own, forbids intermarriage. Hence we are admitting in increasing numbers an alien race, which must ever remain alien, in thought, morals, religion, patriotism, and standards of living. They will soon dominate us by sheer weight of numbers, they will dictate to us, shoulder us aside, and we will i)ass from this fair land as surely as did the Indians before us. And yet Canadians continue to calmly ignore or quietly dismiss this question as of secondary importance. It is vital to the country. Every year is adding to the num1)er of these immigrants, and they are fast becoming a political, as well as an economic prol)lem. British Columbia is the gateway to the Orient. Let once that province become swamped with the yellow people, yearly pouring in, and the gates of the Dominion are opened to Oriental invasion. On the far side of the Pacific lies Japan, with the third largest navy in the world, with an army that is increasing daily, Japan, greedy for expansion for her teeming population; and on the other. British Columbia. Canada ' s w estern bulwark, with one-eighth of her population already composed of a people who still regard JaDan as their mother-land. Is not this food for earnest thought on the part of every serious- minded Canadian? MARJORIE SHERLOCK, Form V, 20 TH l{ I ' RAN K SOM E SLCXiAN IN MEMORIAM— MARGARET TAYLOR SCOTT. The announcement of the death of Miss Marg-aret T. Scott, the beloved Founder, the first Principal, and later the Honorary Principal of Branksome Hall, which occurred after four months ' illness, on June 30th, 1921, at Vancouver. B.C., l rought a deep sense of personal loss to a large circle of old pupils and devoted friends. But to none did the news of the passing of Miss Scott l:)ring more regret than to the members, past and present, of the staff and Alumnae of Branksome Plall, who, through a long period of close association, were privileged to know her great worth as a loved teacher and friend. As an educationist. Miss Scott held a high place among Canadian teachers. During the course of her long and successful professional career, she was connected in her younger days for a short time with the Provincial Institute for the Blind, Brantford, and later became the Principal of Ottawa Ladies ' College. From Ottawa she moved to Toronto in the early eighties to assume the principalship of the Girls ' Model School, a position which she occupied for seventeen years. After a period of European travel. Miss Scott, in 190v3, in association with the late Miss Merrick, founded Branksome Hall, upon the site of the Sir Frank Smith estate, Bloor Street, East. From the first, the school had a marked success. The high regard in which Miss Scott was held as a leader and teacher, of winning personality and high purpose, attracted pupils at once from far and near, many of them daughters of former pupils, all of whom Miss Scott affectionately regarded as her children and grand- children. In the early days of the school, Miss Scott was ably supported by Miss Merrick, whose buoyant spirit and kindly sense of humor THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 21 did so much to sustain all those who bore the strain and responsibility of the first years. In the death of Miss Merrick, Miss Scott suffered an irreparable loss. In 1910, Miss Scott felt that she must give up the more active duties of the Principalship, and became Honorary Principal. She did not, however, in any way relax her interest in the welfare of the school, but kept, even during a long period of failing health, by correspondence and otherwise, in intimate touch with a large number of the Alumnae. Like Dr. Arnold of Rugby, it was Miss Scott ' s most earnest wish to introduce a Christian j rinciple into education. To this end she sought to stimulate among the pupils the study of the Scriptures, and an active interest in mission work at home and abroad. Her zeal for the work of Ramabai. the Leper Mission, and Ludhiana Hospital, can never be forgotten. That she succeeded through her strong personal influence in making her own high ideals actual in the lives of her pupils, even long after school days were over, has been attested by many old pupils, who now acknowledge gratefully how much they owe to the strict but kindly training received from Miss Scott in younger days. Her Christian faith, expressed in her unselfish outlook upon life, her high sense of honor and duty, her love of all good and beautiful things, combined with a cultivated mind, a rare grace of manner, and a fine presence, made Miss Scott an outstanding figure among- notable Canadian women, and make her memory an imi)elling example and inspiration for all time to come.

The matter was taken up on the re-opening of the School in the Fall, and it was decided to call the new residence for Matriculation Stu- dents, Scott House. It was also decided to inaugurate an annual Ramabai week, when Ramabai ' s work among the child-widows of India would be brought before the girls, and a collection taken throughout the School for this work in which Miss Scott took so great an interest, and for which she used to collect a sum of money every year. The School raised one hundred and seventy-eight dollars in Ramabai Week this year. At a meeting of the Alumnae in November the matter was dis- cussed, and it w as unanimously decided to raise a sum of money that would produce a sufficient annuity to purchase ' all the Scrii)ture Memorizing prizes awarded in the School each year, and that these prizes should then l)e called the Margaret Scott Memorial Prizes. Miss Scott was especially interested in the memorizing done by the girls, and always presented the prizes to those who came first in this subject. The money for this annuity was to be raised by subscrijjtion, and letters were sent out to all AlumncC, all present pupils of the School, and all friends of Miss Scott and of the School, who, it w as thought, would he interested in this undertaking. So far, seven hun- dred and thirty-two dollars have been collected. The lists are still open, and contributions may be sent to Miss Freda Cole, 10 Elm Avenue, Toronto.

It was thought that this would not only assure the future of the School, but would create among the Alumnae and ])resent girls, an added interest, which w ntld be helpful to the School and to themselves. We had hoped with the money invested to build a gymnasium, which has alw ays been so much needed in our School, but unfor- tunately there was not a sufficient number of girls subscribing to enable us to do this. However, we were delighted that enough new capital was subscribed to make it possible for us to 1)uy the pro- perty adjoining the School on the north. This we decided to use as a special residence for matriculation students, and, in memory of Miss Scott, the founder of the School, we have called it Scott House. It has proved to be a most satisfactory building, and we are sure every girl in residence at Scott House this year would testify to its usefulness as a separate residence. We should like especially to thank the following girls of the Alumnae, and of the present pupils, whose interest and financial sup- port made Scott House possible : — Mary Ponton Armitage, ' 15.

There ' s Elizabeth Scott, a day-prefect, you know, Who hustles and bustles when she should go slow. Then Eleanor Sykes, faithful prefect, and friend Of Elizabeth Scott — upon her we depend. Kathleen MacDougall, a Senior ) ' ou meet. Who often falls down when she stands on her feet. At Marjorie Sherlock } ou just have to look. And you could imagine her writing a book. Katherine Strickland lives just near the School, She comes very early — that is, as a rule. Small Janet Dickson, so staid and so quiet. She never appears in the time of a riot. Norma Mielan at playing and singing you ' ll hear ; Her music and school-days she holds very dear. Janet Crowell may seem to you shy and retiring, But get her alone and she ' s very inspiring. Then next in our line there comes Juanita Trapp, As jolly a girl as you ' ll find on the map. Marjorie Duncan is our black-haired beauty, Who always is anxious to do all her duty. From London, Ontario, comes Beryl Jewell, A favorite with quite a few girls in the School. At the sonorous organ, to play hymn and chant. In Rosedale Church often you ' ll find Katherine Grant.

And here ' s to them all, the Fifth Form Fifteen, Their equals in virtue have rarely been seen. 38 THE l RANKSOME SLOGAN SCHOOL NEWS. On September 30th, a guessing contest was held in which some of the g-irls dressed up to represent different well-known advertise- ments. Prizes for the g-reatest number of correct answers were won by Rubye MacMillan and Trembeth Luke. Miss Read gave a most enjoyable dance for the house-girls of Forms IIL, IVS., IV., and V., on November 19th. Dancing took place in the gymnasium which was decorated with the school colors, and supper was served in Scott House. On November 28th, the school was honoured by a visit from Earl Beatty. The girls lined up on both sides of the driveway, and cheered loudly, when the Admiral, accompanied by Mayor Church, arrived. Marion Cann presented him with a bouquet of red roses, after which he wrote his name in the Visitors ' Book. He asked for a holiday for the girls, and was again cheered on his departure. Instead of the usual Junior Christmas closing, the school held a Christmas Carol service in Rosedale Presbyterian Church on Decem- ber 16th. Mrs. Denton Kennedy trained the girls. Miss Hill presided at the organ, and four of the girls, Shirley Johnston, Norma Whelan, Maybelle Purdom and Ida l arker, played violin accompaniments. Rev. f. B.

The girls ' team of McGill University came to Toronto on February 24th, to play the Varsity girls. This proved a most exciting- match and resulted in Varsity winning 3 — 0. On March 23rd, Mrs. George Wright gave a most enjoyable luncheon at the Carls-Rite Hotel, for the Branksome Hall hockey team, and the girls appreciated it very much.

On October 13th, Louise Homer gave a most enjoyable concert, assisted by Miss Cora Chase. On October 19th, we had the opportunity of again hearing one of the world ' s most renowned singers. Galli Curci, assisted by Beren- guer, flutist, and Homer Samuels, pianist. On October 25th, we had the pleasure of hearing La Tosca, with Scotti as Scarpia. On Armistice Day, we saw Abraham Lincoln at the Princess Theatre, and on November 28th. the inimitable Pavlowa, at Massey Hall. On Deceml)er 8th, Tgnaz Friedmann gave a concert at Massey Hall, unassisted. On December 12th, we saw Barrie ' s exquisite fantasv, Mar ' Rose. On January 24th, Mr. Thos. Whitney Surette, assisted by Mr. Campbell Mclnnis, gave a most enjoyable and unique concert in the Hart House Theatre. The National Chorus gave their annual concert on January 31st, with Miss Jeanne Gordon as the assisting artist. Rachmaninoff played at Massey Hall on February 8th, and the Mendelssohn Choir held their concert on the tw entieth of this month in association with the Philadelphia Orchestra. On March 3rd, Clara Butt and Mr. Kennerley Rum ford gave a most delightful concert at Massey Hall. 40 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN On March 17th, we saw Sothern and Marlowe in The ' J ' aming of the Shrew, and on the twenty-second, Mantell in Juhus Caesar, the play we are studying- for Matriculation. The Y. W. C. A. has been very fortunate this year in having a great many interesting and noted speakers at its meetings. During the Fall Term, Dr. Margaret Patterson came and gave us a brief account of Ramabai and her work ; Mr. Clark of the World ' s Christian Student Movement told us of the great hardships the students in Central Europe are undergoing, and Miss Reba Fleming spoke to us about her work in China. On October 21st, we were unusually fortunate in having Dr. and Mrs. Neil and Miss Bain at the school for dinner shortly before they left for California. Dr. Neil spoke to the girls informally after dinner, which certainly, added to the already great pleasure of having them with us. Since Christmas we have had Miss Edgar, who in speaking of the girls of the Orient, Avas able to give us a most delightful talk, owing to the fact that she has just returned from a trip around the w orld ; Miss Kilpatrick, who told us of her school in India, (for which w e made a collection), and lastly Miss Armstrong of Burmah, who spoke to us on the subject of Answered Prayer. It has been a great privilege that Miss Armstrong has found time to come to us so often during her furlough, which every Branksome girl regrets is nearing its close. The work we have accomplished so far this year consists of sixty bags for the University Settlement, which were filled with candy, as Christmas presents ; also each girl made a chintz bag of gay colour for the Orphanage at Manmad. In order to raise money besides taking collections, we have sold cake, candy and hot dogs on several occasions, and this year the amoimt of money raised is already almost double that of last year. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 41 The outstanding entertainment of the Y. W. C. A. was the Skating Party on Friday evening, February 3rd. It was a very merry crowd that enjoyed skating to the hurdy-gurdy music and later was served Avith hot dogs, ice cream and cake. In the coming term we are looking forward to our annual StraAvberry Festival, and before June we are to raise $50.00 to support the Branksome Hall bed in the hospital at Ludhiana. Although we have not accomplished all we might have, it has been, on the whole, a most successful year in our Association. CATHERINE DEWAR, Form IV., Secretary. TREASURER ' S REPORT, Y.W.C.A.

A tournament was begun, and a ranking-board, such as is used in the Toronto Tennis Club, was employed. The tournament assumed such proportions that it was impossible to play off all the games before the cold Aveather came on, but everyone agreed that the tennis season had been a most successful one, and we hope in the third term to play other schools, and to carry our tournament to a finish.

A rose once grew on a lattice green, Entwined around a wire, A rose of beauty in full bloom, Climbing ever higher. A maid came out through her balcony door, And saw the rose in bloom, And, as she looked, she heard a voice Speak in a low, soft tune. And the voice that s])oke was deep and clear, Pray throw me your rose up above. And, with the rose, sweet maid, a kiss, A token of your love. The moon shone down on her trem- bling hands. As she hurriedl}- i)lucked the flower. And, kissing it, threw it o ' er the rail And skipped into her bowser. 1lie knight picked it up with a happy sigh. And, placing it next his heart, Regan to ascend the lattice-frame, But turned about with a start. There on the ground below him Stood his rival, sw ord in hand. The knight jumped down and bravel} ' faced The best swordsman in the land. The maid came out of the bower door, And never a word said she. But descended the lattice to watch the fight. Praying silently. At last with a cry of triumph glad, Her lover stepped to her side, I have slain the best swordsman in all the land. Now will you be my bride? Oh yes, oh yes, cried the maiden fair, I love you with all my heart ! He lifted her on his fiery steed, And they rode away in the dark. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 49 But presently the two returned To the place now brightly lit, And bowed low to the audience. Then curtain ! and Exit ! ELLA LUMBERS, Form L THE LITTLE GOLD GOD He stood proudly in the centre of a black teakwood table in the library, the squat figure of a little gold god, with a curious bafifling expression on his oval face. The odor of sandalwood clung about him; it made one think of the crooked streets, the square bracket lamps, and the temple bells of old Peking. He was a charm, that little figure, and he had crossed the Pacific in the pocket of Bob Shoulty some years before. Since that time, he had sat on the teakwood table in the Shoulty house on Sheradon Avenue in Balti- more. The years had transformed Bob, the debonair and popular son of a proud father, into a lonely and embittered man. The sudden death of his sweet young wife, Patricia Dean Shoulty, had made him an old man over night. Her portrait hung over the fireplace in the library and shewed a beautiful girl, with a smile in her Irish blue eyes, and her hands full of June roses. And always when Bob Shoulty, now an old man, sighed and felt that his mascot had lost its charm, the little gold god seemed to l)e looking straight into the Irish blue eyes of the portrait and smiling a bafifling, inscrut- able smile. Far down at the other end of Sheradon Avenue, the Blake Home for Orphans presented its grey, forbidding front to passers-l y. No hardy flow er, not even a blade of grass brightened its premises. Everything about it was dreary and colorless. On a certain October afternoon it was raining in Baltimore, a cold, steady rain, that chilled the little newsboys at the street- crossings through and through, and dampened the spirits of numer- ous enterprising children sailing miniature ships in the muddy gutter outside the orphanage Suddenly the door of the orphanage burst open, and a little wisp of a girl, v ith a mop of red curls hanging over her shoulders, came running down the steps crying. It was Patty O ' Day, the most optimistic little orphan that ever brightened the atmosphere of the Blake Home. It was she who used to comfort the youngest when they cried at night, and who mothered any stray dog or cat that wandered in from the neighboring alleys ; it was Patty, who ahvays longed to wipe away the tears of others, now wiping away her own on her blue gingham sleeve. Then she shook back her mop of red curls, muttered a defiant good-bye to the Home and 1: egan to run down the long, grey street in the rain. Surely someone would want a little girl with freckles and red curls, even if the orphanage people were all cruel to her. She ran on and on, looking into the faces of the people she ])assed to catch a gleam of kindness, if it were there, l)ut no one seemed to care 50 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN about her at all, and, at last, dripping- wet, and trenil ling with cold, she cowered in the corner of the great stone steps of an old-fashioned house far up the avenue. She could see from her niche an open hre in the big library of the house. It flickered and cast grotesque shadows on the panelled walls. She moved closer to the window and then she saw book- lined shelves also, massive furniture, and a shining black table on which squatted a funny little gold man, who seemed to be l)eckoning to her. Then she felt herself lifted in a strong pair of arms, and carried into the great house, and into the very room she had been admiring as she crouched on the steps. She w as put down in one of the beautiful chairs close to the fire, and then she looked at the man w ho had carried her in, a grey- haired man with a very sad face. ' ' Oh, she said, it was lovely of you to Ijring me in here. The little gold god was beckoning me, but I didn ' t dare to obey him. Is it your house, and will you let me stay? They don ' t want me at the orphanage, and it just seemed as if nol)ody wanted me till you picked me up. Mr. Shoult} looked down at the tiny l edraggled form, the face with its drift of freckles, the riot of red curls, and the clear blue eyes, full of childish appeal. Then he looked at the face above the fireplace, and the heart of the sad old man melted in him. ' T think, he said slowly, that perhaps the little gold god and my Patricia have sent you to me in ni} loneliness, and you shall stay with me, my dear, and never feel again that you are not wanted. I want you very much, and I have been wanting you for a long time. The firelight flickered across the face of the little gold god just then, and found him smiling over the picture of an old man in front of the fire helping a happy-looking little girl to dry a blue gingham dress that w as wet from the rain. JANE BARCLAY, Form II., Special. THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN 51 The following letter was published in St. Nicholas, and, as Mary Crouch used to attend Branksome, it may be of in- terest to some of our readers : Cape Town, South Africa. Last March we arrived in Africa, and perhaps you would be interested to know some- thing- of our life in this so- called Dark Continent. This country is by no means true to that name. It is the sunniest, most beautiful country, full of flow ers and birds, and luscious fruits. Cape Town is a quaint old city, nestling at the foot of the moun- tains, which are called the Devil ' s Peak, Table Mountain, the 1 ' elve Apostles, and Lion ' s Head Mountain. Just beyond the mountains, to the left is Table Bay. The sea and the mountains are so close that the city gives one an impression of pastel-colored jewels, washed up by the sea, and clinging to the feet of the mountains. We have frequent southeastern xvinds, known as sou ' casters. They come sweeping, without any warning, from no one knows where, blowing sand into our eyes. With these sou ' casters there ap- pears a cloud over Table Mountain, known to the peoi)le of a practical turn of mind as the table-cloth. I prefer to think of it as a water- fall, which it certainl} resembles, as it comes in torrents of vapor over the mountain-side. While walking on the mountain the other day, I was above the clouds, with some of their mist clinging in my hair. The sunsets here are vividly beautiful, and the stars at night are brighter than any I ever saw in America. We have different ones here. There is the Southern Cross, which America does not see ; but, though I hunt for the Dipper, I never find it. The streets of Cape Town are of cobblestones, and through them all day long, little barefooted Malay boys run, coaxing along their tiny gray donkeys, pulling their little carts. In these carts are pineapples, bananas, guavas, and naartjis (tangerines). The natives of South Africa are varied. There are the Hotten- tots, the little Bushmen, who are pigmies, the Zulus, and the Kaffirs. There are also many more tribes, w hich would take up a great deal of space even to name. MARY E. CROUCH, ( 15 years). 52 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN OUR BURGLAR. One day some time ago, we had i)umpkin pie for dinner, and, as it was the first we had had this winter, it was quite a sur])rise to us all when it came on the table. We were onl} allowed usually a very small piece of pie, never two pieces, ])ut father said. As this is a special treat, 1 will give you a larger piece than usual, only — don ' t have l)ad dreams tonight after it. That night I was very restless after I went to bed. and could not get to sleep at all. After wliat seemed a very long time, 1 thought 1 heard noises in the next room. A w eird creepy feeling- ran over me, and shivers chased one another down my backbone. On hearing footsteps and the opening of a door, I realized that wdiat I had first believed to be my imagination was a reality. Then I ducked under the covers, though still with listening ears. The foot- steps in the meantime were going downstairs, and 1 immediately thought of the silverw are. Cautiously I crept out of bed and noiselessly felt my way to mother ' s and father ' s room. It took me a minute or two to convince them I had not been dreaming. Father got his automatic at once and while mother flung on her dressing-gown, he had already started for the dining-room. What was his astonishment to sec coming towards him then a little white-robed figure, saying in plaintive tones, I want more pumpkin-pie, please! I want more pumpkin-pie! Next morning w e had much fun and amusement over our supposed burglar. My little sister protested vigorously that she had not walked about at midnight at all, but wdien mother found a pink curl-rag on the dining-room floor, and a straight curl on sister ' s head, the proof w as established. Whenever sister asks for a second helping of pie now, there is a storm of protest from the other members of the familv who feel that they need their undis- turbed night ' s rest !

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER WRITTEN TO THE SCHOOL BY MARY ANDERSON Mayence, Allemagne, December, 1921 How strange it seems to be writing to you from here, and to be going to a French Lycee, established for the children of the Allies in the occupied territories. T have begun German, and am finding it rather difficult, as their articles never seem to mean the same thing twice, and, with all their different changes in the plural, it is enough to drive anyone crazy. In September we made the glorious trip down the Rhine to Coblenz, and saw all those glorious old castles that one reads such a lot about. The day was perfect, with just a slight haze. As w e went gliding slowly along, we saw on either side of us, on the top of the tall hills that border the Rhine, castle after castle, and fort after fort, of old robber barons. We had read all the legends before coming, and knew them by heart. At last we turned a bend in the river, and came upon the Lorelei, that proud rock that has reared its head in stately magnificence for so many centuries. As we glided slowly past it, all the Germans on board stood up facing it, and began to sing the Lorelei song. It really was beautiful to hear the soft, plaintive tune echoing back from the hills and the lap of the water against the boat, and to see the tall, grim hills all around, and their reflections in the river. Slowly we rounded the glorious rock and gradually the song- died away. For a moment there was a dead silence as we stood watching it recede, till Ave turned another bend, and it passed out of sight. On we went down the river till we came to Coblenz. There, on the right, was that great old fortress of the Kaiser ' s, with the Stars and Stripes of the United States floating over it. Coming back to Mayence by train that night, we again saw the Lorelei, with the last ravs of the setting sun falling across its summit.

THK BRANKSOMK SLOGAN 61 THE MAGIC ACORN. Once there was a little l)rown squirrel, and his name was Willie Littletail, because he had not a lovely bushy tail like the other little squirrels. When he A ' as a little baby, a big ' dog had bitten it off! Willie was a very wise little squirrel. He knew he could not hop and jump about on the branches of his big, oak house, as his little friends could, but had to be content to sit and watch them ; for, if he had tried to run on the branches, he would have fallen down, not having any tail to balance him. One autumn day, as Willie was gathering in his store of nuts for the winter, a great l)ig acorn suddenly fell near him. Now, Willie had not found many nuts that day, so he was glad to discover such a big one, and he immediately picked it up. He was just going to run with it to his nest, when he heard a tiny voice cry out, Oh, don ' t take me ' way up there in your dark hole, please ! Willie stopped suddenly at that, and let the nut fall. It cracked open, and lo and behold ! a little fairy jumped out of it. She cried to Willie, ' ' You have been very good to rescue me from that acorn in vhich I was locked up, so I will give you one wish. W ' hat shall it be? Willie answered ' ithout a moment ' s hesitation. Give me a big, bushy tail, ])lease ! The fairy waved her ' and and vanished, leaving Willie the happiest little squirrel in the world- for suddenly he found he had a beautiful, big, bushy tail. After that Willie could frisk and jump, and play about on the branches as much as he liked, and his name was changed to Willie Bushytail. PHYLLIS CASSELS (12 years). Form V.

The Queen knew at once that the little fairy wanted a kitten too, but she had never known any of the fairies to want a kitten before. She said, Well, little Dewdrop, I will see what I can do for you. Then she gave these instructions to all of them. At the last stroke of midnight, she said, you must all come down to the river, — not a min- ute later. So the little fairies went on with their daily tasks, and, that night, just at the last stroke of midnight, all the fairies tripped down to the water where they saw the Fairy Queen sitting in her golden chariot ; there was nothing unusual in that. But a little later they heard a faint Meow% and out of a tree came ever so many little grey-heads, then came little paw s, then tails. At last the fairies had kittens of their own, but they did not stay _ long, for they were only fairy kittens. They were the first pussywillows. HELEN GLENNIE (11 years). ■ — - Form HL Junior. THE STORM It was a grey, still day. The sun had been trying all morning to drive away the black clouds, but it was useless. Towards noon, the clouds grew thicker, and in the distance the thunder rumbled. Nearer and nearer it came, and darker and darker grew the clouds. Lightning made great, w hite rips in the sky, and the rain began to fall. Then there was a blinding flash and a terrible crash of thunder that seemed to shake the whole earth. This was enough for the sun. With one mighty effort he burst through the clouds, and smiled down on the green fields and valleys of the earth. The thunder angrily retreated, and a great rainbow arched across the sky. Everything was peaceful once more. ISOBEL PIRIE (11 years). Form IV., Junior School. 64 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN MARCH WINDS. The loud March ' inds are very strong , They blow the little birds along. Some find a refuge in the trees, But they are bloA n off by the breeze ; March winds are loud, and very gay. They make the bushes sway and sway. JOYCE LIVINGSTONE (8 years).

This meeting, the last of the season, was very well attended. On account of the Alumnge Directory being printed in the Slogan, the cost of the book was very much greater than usual, so ninety dollars of the Alumnae funds were voted to defray some of this extra expense. An amendment to the constitution was also moved and carried at this meeting, namely, that the Vice-President of one year become the President of the following year. The officers for next year were also elected, as follows : Honorary President Miss Scott President Grace Ryrie Vice-President Lesley Sykes 2nd Vice-President Kathleen Cowan Secretary Lois Howard Treasurer Phyllis Hollinrake Slogan Representative Ainslie McMichael Mrs. McKay (Jean Ross, ' 06) of Formosa was one of the guests at the dinner, and spoke for a minute or two. but there were no toasts at this dinner. Tne first regular meeting of the new school year took the form of a, tea given by Miss Read in Scott Plouse on October 28th. There was a record attendance of over eighty. Miss Cole and Miss Grant served tea and coffee in the dining room, assisted by the day and house prefects. The babies were invited, and Mrs. Bennett (Marjorie Hutchins, ' 09) brought her small daughter with her. The second meeting was a luncheon at the Blue Dragon Inn, Clarkson, on Wednesday, November 30th. Fifty Avere present. The girls met at the school, and motored out to the Inn. At this meeting it was moved and carried that Mrs. Clarence Kemp, Marjorie Moore, and Margaret Follett should take the places on the committee of Lesley Sykes, Phyllis Hollinrake. and Lois Howard, respectively, as these three girls had found it impossible to hold their positions. Miss Read spoke about the Scott Memorial Fund. Since the death of Miss Scott during the summer, this matter had been much discussed, and it was now decided to collect a fund w hich would produce a sufficient annuity to purchase all the Scripture memorizing prizes in the school each year, and that these prizes should then be called the Margaret Scott Memorial Prizes. The next meeting of the Association was the occasion of the second Annual Dance in Jenkins ' Art Galleries on Thursday, January 26th. Miss Read, Miss Cole, and the President of the Association. Grace Ryrie, received the guests. There were over two hundred present, and the Dance was unanimously declared a great success.

At this moment George drew hlortense ' s attention to a small Boat for Two in which he ])ersuaded her to go for a paddle.
