If I were Miss Long—I'll tell you what is true, I d make the girls happy without much ado; I d make them all forget their very wretched fate By striking off a lot of rules entirely out of date. If I were Miss Long—the girls would have some fun. For I’d never give demerits for anything that’s done. And they could have receptions every month or two— Because I’d want to teach them exactly what to do. If I were Miss Long—Fd always wear a smile, And never look a little cross to a poor French child. I'd grant to everybody everything that they could ask, And never give to anybody a very hard task. If I were Miss Long—no restriction would I give, Nor very many demerits, that make it pain to live. I'd give easy exams—so that everyone could pass, And make every girl a leader of her class. If I were Miss Long—there’re some things Fd permit— A good Dramatic Club, and a good play for it; And a German Club to take away from every Friday night That awful “butt-in system, which has come to he a fright. If I were Miss Long—the Seniors soon would learn To wear their caps and gowns with an air of less concern. To be more congenial with their little Freshmen friends, As they ought to know to be with every kind of “gens.” If I were Miss Long—the Faculty would know To be on time to meals and class—and so They’d learn the lesson, which they all try to teach, And is in simple words—“Practice what you preach. If I were Miss Long—this College now so great Wouldn’t have a rival in N. C. or any other State. The fame of it would quickly spread from pole to pole, And the world wouldn't hold the books—if everything were told. 6 L. A.

A few words of our history will indeed show the truth of these words. From a class of forty Sophomores, we had enrolled only sixteen Juniors, all ambitious to begin Senior work together. In this, however, the hand of fate was against us, for two of our number were forced to throw away this ambition for the sake of the higher demands of health. So we regretfully left them to the class of nineteen-six. When the eventful dav came at last and we gathered to organize the Senior class, we found the goodly number of fourteen. It was with a feeling of genuine pleasure that we saw the narrow escape of the “unlucky thirteen.” However, the rejoicing was only too soon, for in a short time one of our most influential members was called to lay aside her studies on account of illness. Despite the obstacles in our paths we have made most earnest efforts for suc- cess, and in many ways have been rewarded. Our class has had the reputation of being rather progressive in spirit; in fact we once incurred the enmity of some higher classmen on this ground. Yet we are inclined to pride ourselves on this fact, and are doing all in our power to sustain this reputation. The work for the annual has been taken up heartily. We have endeavored to take advantage of the time by beginning early any extra duties, to prevent being crowded at last. One of the most important lessons that we have learned during our work at the Presbyterian College is that we do not finish our education here, but only begin it. When we were in the preparatory school we were so often reminded of the hardships we would meet on entering college, that we began to think these would be the only hardships to confront us. But we have to look at these things i5 very differently now, for instead of the work of College we have to consider the work of life. We would not have the reader feel that our work has been all strenuous and that we have been kept constantly grinding. Our teachers have been faithful in giving us opportunities for our social training as well as for our mental develop- ment. We would note especially the pleasures afforded 11s by the receptions, the visits to friends in town, and occasional attendance at the Academy of Music. Of our attainments in the intellectual line I will not attempt an explanation, for this can best be given by those who have taught us. But if by chance in after years the reader should find our record in the “Doomsday Book” he will be able to judge for himself as to our acquirements in this line. Perhaps among my comrades may be found some future historian who will record the deeds of those among us whose future life proves worthy of note, or indeed may be founded on the romantic touch seen among the members of our class. But for this I cannot say. A full account of the outcome of our years spent here will be found on the page of prophecy which will reveal our future to the eyes of the world. M. J. (Hlasa Prnp ry 05 Kind Muse! to open the Book of Fate, Where all the secrets of the present state And those of the future lie deeply hidden, To me, poor mortal! the duty given. So I, for thy prophetic aid do plead, Oh Muse! since I all the future would read. Then the kind Muse began singing to me Of what each will be and of what degree. And when the class of ’05 has stepped in With Mary Jamison will I begin. She is the one with whom you will find That Cupid was so especially kind— In school she was so studious and smarl, Then least expected to play this part— Never a minute for social life, Everything seemed a continual strife To get the best marks of all the class, But little we knew the things that did pass, For all, blushes red, and divinely tall, In veil she stood the very next Fall. “Annie J.” the next in line has for name Far as I can read in the book—the same Dear girl, and an example will give By her own life of how we should live. Uprooting evil, soothing every sigh, Is she best known for in passing by. She will show best Miss Watkin’s hard work To teach us our duty never to shirk— No better person will there ever be Famed for her goodness and piety. The next as a professor will soar high, Ready to tell things the what and the why. From the beginning you could easily see Very famous for Latin she would be. Strict in her work and always in the right, Thus giving her scholars many a fright. The name, Gertrude Kerr, everybody sings. Not only for this but for many things. When she at last her work shall lay down All the world with her praises will resound. 17 And this is the secret the kind Muse said Of Elva McDowell with her blushes red— As a dainty nurse will she draw near To the sick and suffering to ease and cheer. The weary patient awakes from his nap And wishes to see in the little white cap The one who is ever ready to soothe. To comfort, and all rough pillows to smooth. At duty’s call will she do her best, Thus winning at last a peaceful rest. The business one—Mary Mac—will be Without Muse’s help, we all can see. Always busy from morn to night, And for the class as a shining light, Will prove what we each might do, By being to her calling ever true. Upward in her profession will she go And leave all others far below By saying, “I’m busy—haven’t time.” We know McMurray with more rhyme Oh Muse! what canst thou prophecy About McFadyen as she passes by. You see her holding all alone And holding the people as on a throne. Why do you sit so silently? Draw near, And the sweetest song you will hear. As a prima donna she reigns supreme, And, listening, you fancy yourself in a dream. Much more than a queen has she done, For her name is on every tongue. A musician will there he in some large place Who hath a sweet and lovely face, Not like in that respect to the men W ho in the times gone by could send All such maidens to utter shame That they dare think that their own name Could ever be renowned, but Moore In spite of them just as high will soar, And prove that those that went before Will not be all—there is still “Moore.” 18 If you will go to a certain town. And watch the people riding round, You will see who goes at each call From the sick and wounded—each and all— In any weather—shine or rain— M. Patrick goes to those in pain. We each are glad that we can say: “Why, that physician went in my day To old P. C. and made right there A better name than anywhere. Saddler will settle in a country seat, A little school-teacher, trim and neat. Calm as ever with boys who fight, Never gets angry, but shows them the right. Each one of her pupils wishes to be Just as good and quiet and scholarly. Very plainly now we can see, too, Why she never had time much loafing to do. Was preparing to make as great her art As any we held as dear to our heart. There is a lady in society Who outshines us all, so Muse tells me. Her dresses are many, prettily made; To visit her often really paid. She is so bright, happy and gay, Excel her very few there may. At any ball, reception, tea Among the guests there would she be. “Miss Wakefield,” you would hear them call On every side by each and all. The youngest in the '05 class Allowed no older one to pass Her by, and much there might be said Of how she bravely fought for head. In after years she worked right on And proved her talent hadn’t gone. For the pieces she wrote were many, As well written and good as any Who profess to be greater by far Than Kate—of course, they never really are. “A prophet is not without honor Save in his own country and in his own home. —Matt. 13, 57. 19 B. Martin. iFamurll Farewell to Ethics dull and drear. To French and Latin too. Farewell to History this self-same year, And, Psychology, far well to you. No more your pages I will scan, Once, then again, but all in vain. With fainting heart and trembling hand, To find what knowledge I may gain. No more your lessons I’ll recite. No more your problems I will try; No more your theories deep though right, But to them all now say Good-bye. M.

What is the use of singing the praise of the class of 1906? Do we not think, t like all classes ahead and those to come, that our class is the best? Our trials, joys, and experiences in every line have been just what others have gone through, but it is natural for one to be partial to her own class. Every one should agree that a Junior's life, however, is nicest. The green Fresh days are over; we have passed the stages of the foolishly wise Sophomores, who think they know it all. As Juniors, we realize the more we learn the more there is for 11s to learn. The Seniors, too, seem to think they know a great deal, but as we have not been along that line, we shall wait until next year and see for ourselves how much they really do know. 22 L. R.

We have noticed that conceit is usually attributed to Sophomores, and we wish to say that we are not conceited. Of course we cannot help but feel our superiority over the Fresh., but remembering our young and foolish days, which now seem so dim and far away, we try to be patient with them, and snub them only when it is necessary—which is rather often. Still, they seem to try to look up to us and we remember that we are Sophomores. We have had our share of the troubles; for instance, when we were kept Sub Fresh for three years while they were raising the standard. And we have had our share of the fun, for who is more care free than the Sophs? When they are Juniors the anxieties of the Seniors begin to oppress them. But Sophomores can let all cares alone and have a good time while they can. We now can truthfully say our motto, “Per aspera ad aspera.” H.

I am sorry to say we had not the happy faces we should have had that morning, but how could we when we were longing so to go back home and stay there, forever. And then, we were frightened very much indeed, and looking with envv on the “Big Sophomores,“ whom we thought “knew it all. Our sole ambition was to be Sophomores, too, so we set to work and deter- mined to do our best, no matter what it cost. Although everybody was very kind to us, we thought we had an awful time studying so hard, but the Sophomores took a delight in saying to us, “Wait until you get in the Sophomore class, then you will think you have to study.” We struggle on with our trials and difficulties, but, we assure you, we have had many happy hours. Oh ! those letters and boxes; what untold pleasures they gave us. As Christmas drew near, we were cheered by the thought of going home, but time passed swiftly and soon we found ourselves back at school, the holidays over. Our final examinations filled us with dark forebodings during the last weeks, trying to prepare answers for those inquisitive teachers. Soon Commencement came, bringing its sorrow and joy; sorrow at parting with dear friends, joy at the thought of home. So we bid each other farewell, hoping to meet again in September, Nineteen Hundred and Five. L.

Y DEAR HAROLD:—The scheme of six weeks' sep- aration, to prove our mutual devotion, has at last had its effect, and I am writing to tell you that I have con- sidered matters fully (and matters are much easier to consider away from you), and that in spite of our love for each other, I deem it best to marry money. I have met it here; it is endowed with an overwhelming de- votion for me and instead of being repulsive, as is usually the case, is thoroughly attractive; just the man to make a girl happy. He is coming with me to Charlotte to-morrow, so you can judge him for yourself. I can almost see the love and admiration you have for me running down below the zero point in the thermometer of your affections as you read this sordid letter, but I have known all along that it wasn’t for the best that I marry a poor man. You see, above all other considerations there is Casey—what a royal good time she will have here in New Orleans! She is so young and so pretty too, and the advantages of wealth are overpowering. Then, don't you think that some- times I may sigh for all this that you cannot give me? I may not, but if I ever did our marriage would become a regret and our married life a failure. My reso- lution seems so strong now, I hope it will hold good when I see you again. This is the reason 1 am writing to you instead of waiting to tell you, for I am afraid of you, Harold. Afraid that when I see you again I shouldn’t have the courage to say it to you to your face. So please, please, don't make it too hard for me, and perhaps I’ll get through the crisis safely. When it is over, and I am Mrs. Holmes, don’t think too hardly of me, for just remember it hurts. Margaret. :i' -t: 'I' :ic '!' 'i' -i' “Hello Carty ! Aren't you going to the rehearsal this morning? Look here, old man, what is the matter; you look staggered! Brace up. What's happened? Nobody dead?” 32 Harold Carter stood on the steps of the post office with a newly opened letter clenched in a strong brown hand that trembled. Twice he passed his hand across his forehead as though to smooth away some horrible night-mare. Then suddenly he straightened himself and smiled down at his cheerful companion. '‘Nothing wrong, Harry, only something of a surprise. Sure, I am on my way to the rehearsal now; we'd better hurry too.” He crammed the letter into his pocket and neither man spoke until they reached the theatre where the cast of the Amateur Dramatic Club for charity had assembled for the last rehearsal before the night's performance. As they entered they found the stage in a state of wild confusion. Groups were scattered here and there discussing in high excited voices the calamity that had befallen the leading lady, who had just sent word she would be unable to make an appearance that night. Bedlam reigned! Everybody was offering a different opinion as to what should be done, but no advice seemed to suit the occasion. Mrs. McClellan's brow was wrinkled into an ominous frown. “We'll go on with the rehearsal,” she said, “and I'll get some one to fill the place, even if she can only read the part.” The rehearsal over, the crowd of actors and critics disbanded to finish cos- tumes and make the last preparations for the night. As the door closed, Mrs. McClellan turned to Mrs. Hunter: “There is just one person in this town who can wear Clara Goode's clothes, and decently act the part. You remember Margaret Davenport, the girl we originally picked out for the part? Well, she learned the lines, but before the first rehearsal left for New Orleans, and has been there five or six weeks. She returned this morning; do you think she could do it?” “I think she is decidedly the best substitute we can find. I’ll go to see her at once. I guess I'd better take her the costumes; there may be alterations, you know.’ So before night Mrs. Hunter had every detail about the new star’s appear- ance satisfactorily settled. Margaret was to play the leading feminine roll opposite Harold Carter as the leading man, and both were in perfect ignorance of this game of Fate. The town had been in a buzz of excitement for weeks, eagerly awaiting the initial performance of the new Dramatic Club. The entire house had been sold long beforehand, and tonight people in the lobby were paying fabulous prices for 33 standing room. Inside there was a sight to gladden the senses of the most hardened. Youth, beauty, wealth and manhood were mingled in a glow of color that made one's brain whirl. Diamonds glittered under eves that shone far brighter. Laughter broke in silver ripples from all corners of the house. Each person had drowned his sorrow for the night and waited with eager expectancy the rise of the curtain. In one box there was a merry crowd of men and girls who were criticizing a handsome man in the box opposite. “I don’t blame her at all for marrying him. Margaret has worked hard o o enough to know the value of money, and he has millions, you know! Frank Craven cast an annoying glance at Kitty Andrews as she spoke. “I blame her, said a low voice in the corner, “he isn't unattractive in the least, but oh, girls, she is in love with Harold Carter, and money matters so little when you can get love. Then she broke into a laugh at the consternation the remark caused, and put up her glasses. “But I wonder where Margaret is; she came home today, you know. The group started another conversation, and the suitor from New Orleans sat in the box opposite, bored and expectant until the curtain rose. Great excitement greeted the announcement that Miss Davenport would take Miss Goode’s part, as Miss Goode had been in a runaway that morning and was suffering from a severe accident. And it wasn’t until the curtain rose on the first act that a hush fell over the house. Behind the scene two people were settling their future happiness with tense earnestness. “Margaret, he said, as he shook hands with her, “ I didn’t know anything about this until I came here tonight. I am sorry, but it will be no less hard on me than on you. Why are you so cruel to yourself and to me; don’t you see, can’t you understand-----------but I promised not to make it hard for you and I won't. lie turned away to hide his feelings. She smiled faintly, a sad, wistful little smile. “Tonight we act our lives out there on the stage before an unsym- pathetic public. If at the end I am convinced that the words of the play are true, and that money weighed in the balance against love is found wanting, why, Harold, I’ll tell you so then and there, and you will have my answer for always. “But you know how the play ends? “They always end like that on the stage. Our ending is to be decided by the power of your acting, and if you can prove to me before the cold eyes of the 34 people that wealth is a worthless bauble, why, when the last scene of the third act comes—” “Yes?” he scarcely breathed. “You will read in my face whether I am willing to cast all this other aside for you.” The first and second acts ended amid bursts of applause, and the audience breathlessly awaited the rise of the curtain on the third and last act. In the first j act the heroine had promised her decrepit father on his death bed to marry for money a man whom she loathed. In the second act the detested suitor had striven in vain to please the girl of his choice and had at last been accepted in a half- hearted manner, that made her a martyr. Harold Carter, as the man who had been in love with her since girlhood, and coming from the West at this critical time to claim her, did not appear in either of the first two acts, and the audience was waiting with restless interest to see the strong Westerner snatch the heroine from the gulf of misery that yawned beneath her. The curtain rose and there was a unanimous murmer of admiration. The stage setting was truly beautiful, but the man in the center easily held the atten- tion of everybody present. He was standing to the full height of his six feet two inches, hands in pockets, head thrown back, with its mass of light hair stand- ing out in bold relief against the dark background of the stage. He had used no cosmetic and the strong lights made him look singularly pale and high-bred. Instantly from the door to the left the leading lady made her entrance. Never had Margaret Davenport been more beautiful than at this moment. A simple clinging, white crepe gown left her shoulders bare, in great coils of black, shining- hair a single red rose nestled. Her slanting eyes were accentuated by heavily marked brows, and in the black and white of her face only the mouth was a warm bright red. One single, long stemmed American Beauty rose broke the whiteness of the trailing dress. She advanced to the middle of the stage and held out a slim white hand to the man standing there. “So, after six years of the wild West you have come back, Joe?” There was the least lifting of the dark eves to those so evidently lost in admiration of her personality. “Yes, Mazie, I have come for you !” The tense voice was strong and sweet. 35 “And you’ve grown, Joe.” The hand he still held trembled slightly. ‘You haven't, Mazie. except—” and a glint of mischief was in his eyes, “except in wickedness.” Instantly the spell was broken; she was an actress again, every inch of her. She laughed a long silvery laugh, her chin went up, and she looked him full in the face with eyes that mocked and dared and bewildered. “You are most uncomplimentary!” she nodded, and took her seat at the piano. “I shall sing,” she announced— “Dear Heart, I love you!” “Dear Heart, I love you!” Clear, sweet and strong the voice rang through the theatre, and tears welled to the eyes of people who were sure they had forgotten. “I’d kiss it, And wear its thorns for you !” The last note died out amid a storm of applause, and spell-bound Harold had time to collect himself for his next speech. He said his lines with an earnestness too tense for acting. Word after word of glowing, adoring love he poured out to the leading lady, who was fast losing control of herself. And when he finished he had touched the audience in a way that is seldom in the power of amateurs. But if Harold's acting was good, Margaret's was better. The words of her part, as she said them in a heart-breaking quaver, burned themselves into the hearts of the people. And who that was present that night can forget the look of overwhelming despair as with unseeing eyes she looked into the well- dressed throng and murmured, “I cannot! How dare I?” When suddenly the versatile face changed to a look of radiant, immeasurable love, and with a fas- cinating smile and gesture she turned to the pleading man. “Joe,” she cried, and her voice broke, “ 1 love you.” Then came the last scene of the third act and the curtain. The maid gathered up the scattered finery, while Harold found the star's carriage. As he shut the door she leaned out with a joyful laugh. “Things always end like this on the stage,” she cried. “But this time, Margaret, it has just begun.” 36 —Louie M.

Strong and effective has been the work along all lines. Starting in September with fifty-one members, the enrolment has now reached eighty-seven, the result of earnest individual work on the part of the members. The literary standard has been raised by abandoning the desultory method of selecting program material here, there, and everywhere, and by concentrating the year’s study upon one country, England. No longer is the complete furnishing of the Society Hall a dream ; it has become a reality. Curtains of a dark, rich crimson, and walls tinted to harmonize constitute the last improvements made. Among the social events of this year have been the initiation ceremonies at the opening of College, and the open meeting at the close, each a pronounced success in a different way. The Society now stands upon a firmer basis than ever, and yet, great as is the pride in a past well spent, still greater should be the interest in the future.

Then let each member faithful stay In service high or lowly. The Gamma Sigma Society opened the year favorably by holding high yet dignified revel early in September, when a goodly number of applicants for mem- bership were duly and thoroughly initiated, and were then as generously “treated.” Coming down to sober work, it is noteworthy that the programmes for the year were exceedingly varied, comprising current events, politics, literature, music and general entertainment. The literary programmes brought out live discussions on Japan, on Russia, and on New Inventions, for every member took deep interest in these vital topics. The musical members of the Society moreover, cheerfully used their talents to add by voice, bv piano, and bv violin to the gen- ( eral pleasure and sociability. Early in the Fall the Society held an open meeting, to which all the honorary members were invited. Songs and recitations from the poems of Eugene Field and of Mr. James Whitcomb Riley were well given and were thoroughly enjoyed. Not to be omitted is the fact that the Society Hall is now beautified with graceful tapestry curtains in the Society colors, purple and yellow. Across the transom, moreover, has been hung a purple velvet curtain upon which appears in large gilt letters the initials of the Society. A fitting close to a year of successful work was the banquet to the Senior Class. To every “Gamma Sigma,” The royal purple lift on high ! Though joy or grief befall thee, Keep thou its meaning ever nigh : “Be true till death shall call thee!” 42 % 43 V Just a ICrntp-sirk Utaiil HE HOTEL PORCH was almost deserted. It was too early for the guests to have come down for supper, and so a few men held the porch entirely to themselves. Most of them were sitting with their feet on the rail- ing, calmly smoking and gazing dreamily out over the white sand and the wide expanse of water in front. The white-capped breakers gradually receded from the high-tide mark, and finally became lost in the gray of the evening. Soon after the lights were turned on, a ladv appeared at the farthest end of the building and slowly traversed the whole length of the porch. She seemed to be looking for some one, for she glanced eagerly into every face she passed. She was of medium height, and was rather plainly, though neatly dressed in white lawn. Her age? What a question! Suffice it to say she was over thirty—how much 1 dare not tell. She finally entered the lobby-and seated herself where she could see both the large stairways, which wound around and met each other not far from the landing of the second floor. While she sits there watching we shall go back and review a part of her life. Fifteen years before she had met him at a party given by a friend of hers. He was tall and handsome, and had talked beautifully to the rather timid girl. He had done it to oblige his hostess, and to make this poor, shrinking girl feel more at ease. She did not know this, of course, and her worship of him began at that moment. 45 She saw him occasionally (during the next five years) when he came through the city on business, and once he called on her. Oh, what a flutter of excitement she was in all that day ! She arranged her hair at least seven times between six and eight o’clock—she tried on every color of ribbon she had, and it is not known how long she would have kept this up had not the door bell rung. In haste she caught up a piece of red, put it on, and went down to the parlor with that color not only around her neck but in her face also. What an evening that was to remember! What divine songs he had sung, she thought that night as she tossed to and fro, unable to sleep! He? Well, he had gone to see her because another young ladv friend of his was not in town, and he thought he had had a very agreeable time—that was all. 1 fe steadily rose in his profession and soon moved to another state, and for about eight years she did not see him. Then she unexpectedly met him in New York during the Christmas holidays, and she thought that he seemed very glad to see her. He took her to lunch and was cheerful and happy all the time. When he left her he said he hoped he should see her again soon, and she went on her way on wings, and so blissfully unconscious of everything earthly that her purse was picked, and even her watch was stolen, and she knew nothing of it until she reached her home. He was going to spend a few days of his vacation at a certain watering place, he had told her, and she immediately made her plans to stay there all summer. This brief sketch brings us back to her seated expectantly in the lobby. She knew that he was in the house, for she had seen his name on the register which she had searched every day. She did not have to wait long, for the guests had begun coming down from supper, and she saw him among the gaily dressed throng. He also espied her and came rapidly toward her, holding out his hands joyously. After expressing his pleasure at meeting her, he turned around to a beautiful woman, whom she had not perceived, and smiling proudly, introduced her as “My Wife.” Fortunately some friends came up just then to congratulate the happy bride and groom, and she slipped quickly away to her room. Next morning, on the earliest train, she left. Her hopes and dreams were thus suddenly and cruelly shattered, and from this time she became a violent man-hater, and soured against the world in general. She then began teaching; and now she takes her spite out on us Sophs., and Juniors, and especially on the poor little Fresh. 46 S. H. ©ftp tn a Purap Oh, purse, how canst thou empty be Knowing that how I do love thee, It is quite sad, oh, cruel indeed And just the time you most I need. Where goeth all that I give to thee, I never know, where can it be? Surely an account you could keep And not devour such a heap. I believe 'twas only last week I filled you full, but, oh such cheek As yours a mortal never had; I fear you’ll send me to the bad. Now I shall have a month to wait. But that will be a month too late, For bills are waiting day by day Which poor old Dad will have to pay. L. R. 47 iHaraliallB Chief KATE PARKER, Pierian.

FISHER MRS. STEWART MISS SUMNER MISS McFADYEN I ocal MISS MITCHELL 51 A iFantlty 0?a 'Twas in the month of October, And not in the month of May, That the girls though ten in number Had planned a Faculty Tea. The other girls had all assembled At the tables numbering nine, Awaiting the approach of the Faculty Who came in one at a time. Each teacher she waited in patience For her second to come down the line, Wondering how she looked unto others, But this she knew in a short time. A giggle, a shoo, then all silence, And in through the door down the room. Came a figure not tall, nor not slightly, But a figure that everyone knew. In a dress of grey was she attired, And she bears a name of the same. But this lady can never take passengers, For this lady she never wears trains. Next in number, if I don't blunder, Is the teacher of arts and of crafts; Miss Anthony's her name, “Dear Heart is the same, And she is loved by all in her class. Two of the ten came in arm in arm, Always laughing and joking, but never mean harm; One teaches the Bible, the other expression they say. And this is the thing that they do every day. Through that dining room door came in two more, And these both rather sedate; Shy and reserved is one, and the other just full of fun Has a walk at a very good gait. Then still another who knows not disorders, Came in as the others had done, New in the school, would be tall on a stool, And having an air, “I am who 1 am.” 52 And at tiiat tea, another had we, Who at Harvard for a time had been, Her ways peculiar, and she no lover of men; So therefore was voted no very young hen. Last of all to complete that tea, Came a figure so stately think we, Two languages she teaches, if I rightly recall, And also acts as second mother to all. But this tea, like all other teas, Was the subject for gossip and general glee, They walked and they chattered and kept up a clatter, And no one retired until they had cleaned their platters. F.

Oh may I, when I reach the eve of life, Look back upon a past that is as great. And, looking forward, know that all the strife Will soon be o’er, and at the Father’s gate May I, like thee, hear our dear Savior say, “Well done, my child, now live with me alway.” A. J.

Never pass things to others until you have served yourself. 5. Don't bite the silver off the knives. 6. Between the sixth and seventh courses plant your elbows gracefully on the table. 7. If you wish to speak to a person in another end of the room tap her with a roll. 8. Don't eat much butter—leave it for the rice next day. 9. If you want a biscuit—wink. 10. Always drink two or three cups of coffee. 11. Pass your plate several times for rice. 12. Fill your waist with crackers. 13. Never stop eating till your neighbor has finished. 'V 14. Never enter the room for five or ten minutes after the bell. 15. Eat molasses and corn bread for supper—it is very healthy. 16. Do not drink the water from the finger bowl—the maid will give you a tin cup. 17. It is quite proper to let your chair fall backwards occasionally. 18. Send evervthhm' across the table. o 19. Never spend more than ten minutes preparing for breakfast. College girls should not waste their precious time. 20. Don't expect dessert more than once every day in the week and twice on Sunday. 86 STATISTICS.

C. i Partly impelled by the eternal cry for “ cheap things,” partly urged on by greed, a class of manufacturers trust- ing in the lack of piano knowledge of the general pub- lic, and the help of dealers who have nothing in common with the buyer or musical education of their children, outside of profit, have entered into the market with instruments that are not pianos at all—simply pol- ished “thump boxes.” . . These boxes are wholesaled at figures at which it is utterly and absolutely impossible to build a decent, honest piano, never mind the size of the manufacturer's plant, what his facilities, capital or ability may be. . Such instruments are frauds and deceptions, and strange to say, are usually sold at large prices. Skip all risks of this kind by patronizing the manufacturers of the Artistic Stieff Piano.

The action of the Ivers 4 Pond PIANO has been constructed with special reference to this point. The Ivers Pond action is elastic, respon- sive, and so easy that the most delicate child can play it without tiring the fingers. This is but one point of superiority in the Ivers Pond Piano. Others will re- veal themselves in a long series of surprises. The Ivers Pond cases are up-to-date, the prices are down-to-date, and the interior construction, well, it’s the best that can be made. t A PARKER = GARDNER CO., I I Charlotte, N. C. .r Dr. H. C.
