Sister — Be Saved V TIIK air quivered tensely. The fierce light of the great hall heat down unpity- ingly on each face and showed it taut and haggard. From the hack of the room came a faint moaning. Everywhere eyes were glazed, breathing labored. One prostrate figure was carried out screaming hoarsely. Concentrating all the fevered attention of the crowd was one small haranguing figure, — small hut compact, vibrating with passionate enthusiasm. Come up, come up! The foundations of Heaven are being laid, but you poor sinners must help. Remember those who have gone before. Would you betray their trust? Would you be false to those who have given their lives that this cause might be furthered? Oh my sisters, my children, this is the way, the way of the truth, the way of the right. Will you not follow? Will you break my heart with your selfishness? I can see the Hell fires licking up higher and higher, eager to get at you. Satan down there too is heaping up the coals . . . Satan, you can t have my girls. I know they ' ll be saved. Get down there, you fellow, where you belong. I ' ll keep them from you . . . Children, sisters, I can ' t fight this battle all by myself. Won ' t you help? Won ' t you help? A breathless pause. The listeners swayed to the throbbing rhythm of the plea. Suddenly from the silence, a sob. A slim, tortured figure staggered up the aisle. I ' ll be saved. I ' ll be saved. I see the light. Put me down for $50.00. May the Lord receive me in his bosom. The spell was broken. Eager faces soaked with tears pressed forward. Hands stretched out to grasp with trembling fingers the pen to sign themselves away. They had not betrayed the generation that had gone before. They had seen the light. The sturdy, golden-haired evan- gelist, eyes glittering triumphantly, chest heaving, smiled wearily and sank into a chair. Satan shrank back to the remotest and hottest corner of the gymnasium basement. Thank God, American youth was not irretrievable. Bryn Mawr girlhood was still a brave pure thing. Goodhart would rise! 17

Variations on A Folk Theme (THE SLEEPING BEAUTY WAKES AGAIN) As The Lantern Might Have It STAGIRIA Ah, sweet was that deep long sleep In the cool reaches of my overgrown forest, — Sweet with the sweetness of soft drugging poppy. Velvet nothingness wrapped me round Like the sombre folds of some Hamlet ' s cloak. Sleep without dreams, Without talk, Without gritting of teeth; Sleep that was peace; Sleep that was Heaven. Yet I am woman, — For even a Princess is woman, — And to the call of the kiss of my Prince. Up I came, up from my deep well of slumber, From the cool, untroubled blackness To stand on the brink of life. Blinded by the hot brilliance and the radiant glare From The Publicity Office BUT darling, I really don ' t know anything about it. That is, officially. I ;ust know what I ' ve heard through rumors. And really I can ' t have anything to do with it. It ' s all up to the Undergraduates. If they want a Sleeping Beauty, I say let them have it. Only, I won ' t sign any bills, without being absolutely sure where the money is coming from. If the prince went broke, or didn ' t succeed I ' d have to pay it all out of my own pocket. Make sure of your prince, I warn you, there ' s no use taking any chances. Have him thoroughly investigated, because if it were a success, it would be just the loveliest thing I can imagine, so it won ' t pay to take any chances. I think a forest is the nicest, of course, out of doors you know. But if it rains we can use Goodhart. You ' ve no idea what a comfort it is to know that, — but it won ' t rain, it can ' t rain. It doesn ' t matter in the least to me who the princess is. I think they are all very pretty, but I don ' t care what she looks like, provided she doesn ' t mind having her picture taken. We had a May Queen once, who absolutely refused to have her picture taken, and I can ' t tell you how difficult it was. Really, from the artistic standpoint this Sleeping Beauty thing ought to be perfectly en hanting. But I must say, I do hope the Undergraduates have the prince investigated. I don ' t want to be handed a deficit at the end of it. And oh, darling, you ' re going to Radnor aren ' t you? I wonder if you could take these cards down? 18
