Florence Botefuhr-Take my advice and do not let him call oftenera than three times a week.. I think that a belt buckle would look better in your hair than the pin you spoke of. Hadley, 'O34-Why not cover up your frank truthfulness with a little palatablenees? - . Hattie R.-I would not wear more than one man's picture in my heart at the same time. You might put thepicturevof one of your friends in the front of your watch and the other in the back. But be careful about opening it in the presence of both. Each day I say A little prayer, And, brieiiy, this is it: Oh, Lord, The Board Will buy no chair For wearied me to sit, All five of them - Wilt thou condemn To Pluto's brimstone pit ! And' may they sit on a ragged rock, ' Quai' steins of nitric 'bock,' U Or vitriol cocktails from a crock, While scampering' imp-folk laugh and leer, This chairless Board-sans hope, sans cheer. Amiability, thy name is Duffy! - ' Do you not know I am a woman? When I think, I must speak. -Florence Winans. ' Her eyes are stars of twilight fair, Like twilight, too, her dusky hair. --Josephine W. Wanted, by a nice Junior boy--A handy literal translation of Xenophong also one of Virgil. Inquire of G. E. O., care CEN'rUR1oN. Q , Cash for acceptable ideas. State if patented.-A Freshman.

Tate-a.-Tetes With Our Young Readers. EDITED BY AUNT JEMIMA. Lisle-As a subject for your Valedictory I would suggest Famous Teachers I Have Met, or else a review of that ine novel, Dead Men's Shoes. Roman-As you say your voice is so weak that you cannot easily be heard, my advice is to visit a menagerie and listen to the roaring of the lions. Try and imitate their tones, and I am sure you will be greatly beneited. My Senior Girls-Whispering is very bad form. If you have something to say, say it out loud. Robert-For a graduation costume ,nothing could be more suitable than a golf suit of pepper-and-salt cloth, with which should be worn the new grass-green hose and stout russet shoes. A belt and collar of pink paune velvet, with a jabot of lace and a knot of cherry ribbon at the throat would complete a costume both simple and elegant. Carrie A.-Your suggestion was most sensible. , The grad- uation gown will do nicely for a wedding gown, and will be a souvenir of two auspicious occasions, Aunt Iemima's best wishes go with you. I should suggest to you not to stand on the corner and talk to young men. Since you live so near the school, it would be better to invite them to your house. My Senior Boys-The characters you are now forming will cling to you through life. For further information consult Foun- dations of Character, by C. G. Ballon. Chauncey A.-No, dear, I think you are altogether too young to wear long trousers. I should advise you to wait until after graduation. Oscar-I have succeeded at last in 'finding a patent which will increase the height three inches. Of course your trousers will have to be lengthened, but that will be an easy matter. judging from your picture a curling iron would greatly improve your hair.
