MY DREAM ROOM Slowly the words of my book fade into nothingness and the classroom becomes my' dream room. Silas Marner looks up from his corner, where he sits ever spin- ning and spinning, and greets me with a smile. My new friend, Sir Roger, about to depart from the chase, delays to converse with me a minute and to ask my sisterly advice, as he jokingly remarks, concern- ing his perverse widow. But who is this stranger? A brave young knight whom I have heard spoken of- D'Artagnan, somebody whispers admir- ingly, one of the Three Musketeers. Determining to make his acquaintance later, I hasten on to my other friends. Should I fail to visit each one frequently, they would cease to be my friends and fade away into memories like childhood friends. Launcelotls familiar face is missing from the group of brave knights surrounding King Arthur's throne. Guinevere too has retired into her chambers during Launce- lot's absence. Sorrowfully I turn away wishing in vain for the old happy Round Table. Suddenly I come upon Alice of Looking Glass fame at the tea-party. The Dor- mouse, squeezed in between the March Hare and the Hatter, is fast asleep. The March Hare starts to sing: feeling poetically songful Twinkle, Twinkle little bat, How I wonder what you're at, Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky. Twinkle, Twinkle. The Dormouse takes up the chorus and be- gins to sing in his sleep,-unconsciously I wander off murmuring, Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle. Secunda pirouettes daintily down OUR HILL and drops at my feet in a quaint lit- tle old-fashioned curtsey. Tertius' chubby legs try hard to keep up with Secunda's flying feet while Prima walks sedately at Our Mother's side. Stooping only to kiss irresistible pink cheeks, I hasten Tertius' onward, when- CKDOt,!l Wake says a faint far-away voice, up and hear the birdies sing! Where have you been all this time? Instantly my dream-room fades away and in its place is the old familiar class-room. My dream-friends have gone and in their The tal stead are my class-mates. Alas! that they should never know my many dream friends and may never see my dream room! Per- haps they too have dusty halls and ancient rooms where they may retire from the here and now. -DOROTHY EDwARDs '23. BOOK CHAT After reading Sophocles' Antigone, it is well nigh impossible not to ponder a lit- tle on the history of Literature. Not nov- elty oflmethod, not contortions, not con- vulsions, produce work which is good and will last, only genius and labor can do that. The business of readers is to be deaf to the cries of the market, to pursue what is old and seasoned, and so to judge the quality of what is still in the gloss of freshness. Andrew Lang thus speaks of our literary duty. Sophocles has been called the dra- matic artist because his works are the most beautiful of all tragedies, they might be called perfect specimens of literary art. Because he extracted sweetness from all he touched he was called The Attic Bee. The character of Antigone is touchingly beautiful. Her beloved brother has been killed in a war against his own land, and as a punishment, the King, Creon, who is the successor of Antigone's father, orders that his death shall not be accompanied by the rites of burial, so sacred to the Greeks. But Antigone, believing that she must obey the will of the Gods and the love she owes her brother, covers his body with dry dust. A guard discovers her in the midst of this work and brings her before Creon. Creon has her imprisoned in a distant cave to die of slow starvation as a punishment for dis- obeying his command. She takes the sen- tence bravely, in the knowledge that she has done the right thing, and is led away. A wise man of the court intercedes, and the King relents. But on entering the cave they find Antigone dead, in the arms of Haemon, who has come to save her. -Dorzornr Rrce '23. THE ,INVIOLABLE SANCTUARYU By George A. Birmingham The Inviolable Sanctuary, is a de- lightfully humorous story of country life in Ireland. The boy, Frank, who is a great hero at Oxford, is visiting his Uncle's country estate during the holidays. His extreme superiority over his young cous- in, Priscilla, is very amusing, particular- ly as she seems blissfully unaware of his importance. Priscilla with her naive, re- freshing vivacity, and her ingenous Way very quickly makes Frank forg-et his dig- nity- bowls him over, one might say. One interesting character, amusing, too, is Priscilla's Aunt Juliet, a woman who specializes in fads. When the story opens, her hobby is Christian Science and as Frank has sprained his ankle on the trip down, rather laughable circumstances result. She goes from Christian Science to Woman Suffrage, and thence to appen- dicitis-surely stopping there because the book is finished. The book centers about the adventures of Frank, Priscilla and Miss Ruthford, an interesting woman whom they encoun- ter under rather peculiar circumstances. The adventures of the three in a sail boat of Priscilla's are very enjoyable. The following speech of Priscilla's shows her gift of speech and the enter- taining and convincing manner in which she uses it- Can't you see that if you haven't really got a sprained ankle, but only believe you have, and wouldn't have if you believed you hadn't, then we should- n't really be drowned-supposing we were drowned, I mean, which, of course, we're not going to be-if we believe We weren't drowned? And Aunt Juliet, with her principles, would be bound to believe w-e weren't, even if we were. We've only got to put it to her that way, and she won't have a ghost of a grievance left. Another quotation shows very plainly the fact that she is unquenchable. By the way, what was that word which Euclid said when he suddenly found out isosceles triangle? how to construct an He was in his bath at the time, as w-ell as I recollect. This gave Frank a superior knowledge and to snub this im- pertinent young cousin. Are you thinking of Archimedes? he asked. What he said was 'Eureka,' and what he found out wasn't anything about triangles, but- Thanks, said Priscilla. It doesn't matter whether it was Euclid or not, and it isn't of the least importance what he found out. It was the word I wanted- One more of Priscilla's speeches shows her extremely disconcerting way of say- ing precisely what she means. She is re- ferring to her aunt, who has just taken up smoking-along with Woman Suffrage. She doesn't. She never did before. Though she may take to it regularly now for a time. I simply told her that she oughtn't to chew the end of her cigarette. No real smoker does, and I could see that she didn't like the wads of tobacco com- ing otf on her tongue. Besides, it was a beastly w-aste of the cigarette. She chawed off quite as much as she smoked. You'd have thought she's been obliged to me for giving her the tip, but quite the contrary. She hoofed me off to bed. It is a book that every young person and every person who has once been young will enjoy. chance to use his -A. BOYDEN '23,
