Blonde or brunette, blue eyes or brown, tiny or chubby, each an individual with his or her own peculiar characteristics-there is nothing sweeter or daintier in my Garden. And yet one more bed of flowers-petunias tumbling over each other in a riot of color. You can't keep them in order, and yet if they are allowed to grow naturally and are kept free from weeds there will be no brighter spot in all the garden. Haven't you guessed what they are? Surely you haven't forgotten the little folks at Childrens Hospital? lrrepressible, at times one thought impossible, bubbling over with fun and laughter, brave and courageous-is it any wonder that I love them? Still my bouquet seems to lack something. Ah, now l know. YYait till l pick some, fern and lacy greenethe secretaries, the ohfice force, the aides, and orderlies, all those without whose help our work would be clithcult and incomplete. But now the evening shadows are falling, and already the silvery moonbeams play across the pathg' so we must leave my Garden with this Bouquet of Memories. -eb.. Dum, '34.

upv E SELDOKI yyoxoiaa WHERE 11' CAME. We know it simply as the question mark, and often wish it did not exist. lt isn't so very old, and still it has affected our lives and the lives of our ancestors innumerable times, and in many ways. lts own origin is questionable. Some say that four or five hundred years ago when our forefathers wrote questions, they had no such sign, but wrote the word query after the sentence to signify the fact that it was of an interrogatory nature. After a time, either because the writer was hurried ora bit careless, only the letter Q remained to show that the statement was a question. Soon even this one short letter became care- lessly written or was too much ef-fort, and the question mark HJ was born. And still others say that the little mark was born before that. Some believe that in the olden times writers used the semi-colon lgl inverted ffl as a question mark. An extra flourish of the pen made it our mark of to-day. As its own origin and consequent termination is questionable, so is our goal in life. lt seems strange that such a small mark can interfere so often, and in so many ways, with our lives. Prior to our earthly arrival arises the questionfboy or girl? Plans are, more often than not, formulated for the one most desired. Perhaps a son is much desired, and the parents plan that he be a physician or surgeon. On the arrival of a daughter plans have to be changed. Father wishes she might be a nursefemother is undecided as to the destination to choose for her infant daughter. As she goes through the child's life and child's world she has many obstacles to be conquered. lfirst steps and first words are uncertain, and certainly difficult to learn. The world grows larger quickly, and she has many new things to grasp and learn in a short period of time. Reading, writing, 'rithmetic, all so distinctly new in a six-year-old's perspective of life. ln such a civilization as ours these things must be conquered, because they constitute the backbone of any work she may choose. Along with these ever-opening avenues, filled with the stumbling blocks of life's great way, travel measles, chicken-pox, loss of tonsils, and all the other diseases to which children are so susceptible. l+'ather's hopes are high- eshe reacted as well as could be expected, and perhaps observed more than many children, for afterwards she nursed her dolls through the same diseases. Perhaps ejust perhaps she will fulfill father's dream. Adolescence! Won't she ever make up her mind about anything? asks the harassed and bewildered adult world. One week she plans a brilliant stage career, the next the sober habit of a nun, then there is the Red Cross nurse to consider. And, too, an authoress, 66
