Nothing happens but there 5 nhalf a score of councils, half a bushel of minutes, several sacks of official memoranda, and a family-vault full of ungrammatical writing on the part of the Board. This organization is the foremost to carry its shining influence throughout the Whole school. Through the tact with Which the members invariably seize all news, and through the genius with which the head of that department makes use of her material, the Board has risen to overitop all other departments. This office now goes on mechanically every day, keeping the records of school hap- penings, and racking and wrecking the brains of its members for some composition of merit. Everybody in every class in school. from little Aaron in the Kindergarten, to the staid senior quartette, is watched, and studied and discussed in the hope of finding some latent qualities of genius or of eccentricity, which will afford suf- ficient foundation for an Annual contribution. And everything from Gingersnapst' at recess t0 ttThe Romancers, is ttindiscriminately tucked up under the fools cap paperttof the Annual Board. And then those meetings! The room. strewn with papers, takes on a solemn silence as the members come stringing in, many rather sheepishly waving papers in the air that the ink may dry in time to hand in their delin- quent contributions. Then therels the Art Editor and her staff, who are looking persistently for something to turn up that may give them new and unique ideas. Last of all there is the Snap-shot Com- mittee. At almost any time of the day you may see one of these members wandering around, kodak in hand, with a bewildered gaze, as though looking for something lost; or, you might find one of the more strenuous of this Committee, rushing headlong down the driveway after a much-longed-for subject. Perhaps, too, there is many a night, iust before the regular work is due, that will find a Mrs. Jellyby sitting in a nest of waste paper, drinking coffee, facing an African project ; or, what is more likely, one a. m. will find a Miss Jellyby, splattered with ink from head to toe, and biting the feather of her pen as she stares at the bunches of crumpled, blotted, useless papers before her. 3112 Ghimm N0t speechless,though.

The Pickwick Club '.i F D l C K E N S, in uPickwick ' Papers.u thought that he was creating characters, the like of which were never to be found in this world again, he was great- ly mistaken. Even today, I can point out to you four girls Who closely resem- ble in characters and manners the famous Pickwickians. To begin with, there is a Mr. Pick- wick, whom you all know, the great President of the Dramatic Club. Like Mr. Pickwick of yore, our Pickwick, while holdp ing this great dignity, i5 ttas calm and unmoved as waters on a frosty day? iTis a beautiful spectacle to watch her preside over the Club. With one hand decorously clutching a corner of her dress and the other waving in the air, to assist her glowing declamation, she inspires involuntary awe and respect. We. too, all love our Mr. Pickwick, for she is ever ready to lend 18 a helping hand to any one. She, also, is an embodiment of sympathy and Principle? Our second Pickwickian resembles in many ways Mr. Tupman, fthe too susceptible Tupe man? Why the moment Tracy lays eyes on a good looking person of the Opposite sex her heart '5 all gone. Youid think Tuppytd know better. Whyl have seen this Pickwickian at times, when--well, never mind. Anyway, time and feeding team it be crackersll have expanded that once romantic form. Nevertheless, Tup- man 's a good fellow beloved by everyone for her impulsiveness and unquenchable romance. Our third Pickwickian is Mr. Snodgrass. Snodgrass, Snodgrass, why, the very name brings poetical illusions before my eyes! Oh! she is so poetical! Time and time again she has bounded up those stairs Coh! for an elevatorl on Thursday at one-thirty and worked extra hours til gathering in scraps of knowledge con- cerning poetry. She goes into especial raptures Over the tt ethereal, evanescent and phantom- like beauty of poetry. They say that this is one reason why our Snodgrass is so silent---w so lost to the world. tTis then that our modern Augustus is ttcomposing verse. And last, but by no means least, we have a Mr. Winkle, a regular cock-sure Mr. Winkle, whose chief desire is to earn fame as an athlete. Once our Nathaniel attempted basket ball, but for some reason or other she never tried again. Do you suppose her mates could have been cruel to her? The latest attempt is horse back riding. Only yesterday, at the Riding Club, I saw Mr. Winkle struggling with some noble beast trying to persuade him to go ahead. The horse, yielding to her gentle words and 19 some unforeseen force behind, gave her the gentlettrising trot? It reminded me of that famous ride toward Dingley Dell, to see our Mr. Winkle bobbing around the ring with elbows stretching out and derby jammed down over her eyes. The class mates of our Mr. Winkle predict that the modern Nathaniel will follow the Pickwickian's example, and in the future, elope with some interesting personubut by no means on horse back. Thus with Mr. Winkle the Pickwick Club of today is completed. With Dickens the mar- riageable Pickwickians married and lived happily ever afterward. Let us hope that this happy fu- ture awaits all four of our youthful Pickwickians. MARIANNE CLARK, hterwmm qf Hm ku'm- Hugs.

For there is in us a combination of qualities, a modesty, an independence, a responsibility, and a lack of sentimentality for which one would seek in vain among all other classes of the earth.

Have you failed to observe our infant phe- nomenon, Virginia Ninetta Crummles twho refuses to disclose her age l, who numbers among; her acquaintance the most famous act- resses 0f the age, whose symptoms are ever a source of tenderest solicitude to her class-mates, and who acquires at least four new ttcrushes't a week on whom she squanders her fortune? Have you overlooked our embryo and blood- thirsty ttsaw-bones, Marian B. Allen, who is also an artist of note and who possesses withal the artistic tempert amentl? Have you forgotten the brilliant but name- less themes which Mrs. Alma Gummidge sub- mits with the remark that she is a love-lom creature, whose midnight efforts are unappre- dated, and whose amber locks and ruddy coun- tenance 50 belie her inward settled melancholy? Passion goes to sleep in the presence of Mrs. Ruth Crothers general. What practicality glitters in her cold blue eye! System is her forte. No doubt exists in our minds that our absent and illustrious Isabella Snevellicci, 0f histrionic fame, is receiving the homage of European Monarchs, as she did that of the Freshmen, and is managing affairs as successfully on that conti- nent as formerly on this. Pause, ladies and gentlemen, and consider, was there ever such a galaxy of humor, grace and mentality, of beauty, charm and wit? But our most characteristic feature-our lack of senti- mentality-we have not yet dwelt upon. We scorn sentiment. We condemn the rav- ings of romancers. We accord but a cynical smile to a broken heart. We are without pas- sion, but, ladies and gentlemen, our intellects!

Our class, as a whole, we are told, greatly resembles the Micawber family. Like that fa- mous group we often get udown in the moutht over our bad luck. We all have experienced that feeling when let loose from school at three olclock in the afternoon; we desperately resolve to die of a broken heart. Then our pedagogic porsecutors will reproach themselves for what their cruel words and deeds have done. But like the Micawbers, we recover over night, and arrive at school next morning as complacent and talkative as ever and are seen about two dclock, all our cares flown to the winds, imbibing soda water and eating chocolate at the drug store. 26 We also resemble Mr. Micawber in that we too are always waiting for something to turn up. It may not be a praise-worthy quality, but we find it rather a comfortable one. When we uforget'tor leave a thing until the last minute, sometimes tt something does turn up. Occasionally, of course, we are left to the tender mercies of irate teachers and ruthless demerits. In all Dickens! books there are stupid char- acters. If our school could be called a book, the faculty would say that we were the stupid char- We know this, not by hiding under the table at teacher's meeting, but by the plain, acters. straight-forward remarks of our teachers. Al- though they do take such a demtd unpleasant View of things, I am sure that they cannot deny that we do pop up, a la Micawber, when they least expect it. There is one thing for which We are trulythankful. That is that we are not in one respect like M rs. Micawber. When told bad news we do not resort to swoons. Girls who play basket ball, and what is more important, beat in that sport, are not usually ttswoonyfi Most of these traits that have already been given are not exactly complimentary, but like the Micawbers, we have our good points. We are of an exceedingly social disposition, and very hOSpitable. Our best trait,h0wever, is that, even when dire calamities impend, we are always true to our friends. Let any 't Uriah Heep? dan- ger threaten our school and you will see the real loyalty that pertains to the heart of each Soph- omore. EVELYN HOLLISTER, Nwwrm'm'yj Q, 1910.

They are not wholly insignifi- cantethough the collegiate department does happen to have the Dramatic Club, the Annual Board and the play at the end of the year. It is impossible to bar us from everything. We have some superb basket ball teams and we are not only strong, but graceful, for we dance the tt barn dance at recess quite as well as older gi rls. volume that some of us have become members Also, we use our vocal powers with such of the Glee Club, without any difficulty whatever. We are really noted for many things, first, for the amount of crackers we can consume in twenty minutes, secondly, for the remains we leave on the floor, and most of all, for our cheer- ful liveliness and incessant chirping, which even 38 some of the Faculty admit are blessings to, the school. Hence are we called The Crickets. We have not a very long history. There are four classes of us. First come OUI' stupid Intermediate IV. They delight in play and romp- ing games, such as itag and ttlndiansft yet they long to be like older girls. Mildred B. leads in wisdom, while Frances K. excels in good nature. Next come the very learned Intermediate III. Do they not have the owl for their emblem? There are a great many stars in this class, in fact, too many to mention. However, we can safely say that Frances P. is the shining light in popu- larity, if not in studies, and that Mary L. holds the latter honor. We ought never to forget Intermediate It. That class is the smallest of the four, yet has a mixture of geniuses that spurt up high in daily work and fall in tests and exams? Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. I do not be- lieve Helen G. has been known to fail in any study, test or exam? Mildred C. as well. And last, but not least, comes the renowned This also applies to Intermediate 1.

Corinne T. domineers as the Captain of the basket ball team. Jane is favorably looked up- on by the Freshmen and also her own class- mates, for she was elected president with an easy majority. Adele is exasperatingly studious, while those two loyable neighbors, Katherine and Marie Louise, spend their time in swearing eternal friendship. Here ends the history of the chirping little Intermediates. What would the C. P. S. be with- out them? Perhaps some day they will graduate with honors, and receive Miss Dohertyls blessing, be credits to the school and held up as examples to the next generation. Let us hope so. A.

In terms of Philology we remember its Latin derivation and smile with superiority in having mastered its correct spelling and pronunciation. In terms of Pedagogy we are told that it means, social membership of an individual in a whole which is larger than himself, a whole which is constantly growing and changing, but which the individual still has power to influence and direct. In terms of individual members it recalls those who have carried our influence and tra- 48 ditions into other fields of learning; those who are still hesitating between the Scylla of Society and the Carybdis of College, and last but not least, the noble army of debutantesit who have made us swell with pride over the account of their social triumphs.

Certainly the proud school may look forward to a remarkable outpouring of harmonious sounds on the night of uThe Romancers?

S. Basket Ball team is chiefly remarkable for the unusual tender- heartedness of its Captain. She can not bear to turn away a single applicant for a position. It is to be hoped that the team will not con- tinue to expand at the present rapid rate. There are now ten centers and an almost equal number of baskets. It were far better to replace, rather than to add to their num- 67 JANET RHODES bers. As far as can be ascertained, there is only this one good-natured and kindly-disposed Captain. However, should any of the superfluous centers or baskets attain this primary distinction, there is some danger that the environment may prove too powerful for the instinctively sympathetic disposition of the present Captain.

Basket Ball team, although composed of some of the youngest girls in the school, has a perfect knowledge of the game. Practice is unnecessary, for its mem- bers play with a nicety that can not be rivaled, even by the first team. When they do oc- casionally deign to practice, it is a wonderful 70 MILDRED BROOKS OLIVE WEBER sight. All of the members work together as one. Their every movement is studied; every play is a telling one. This team, in. fact, is a decided honor to the school. It has absolutely no equal, and is a very paragon of perfection, especially from the view-point of its own faith- ful and self-respecting members.

On the afternoon of November the second, a crowd of gaily dressed, happy girls thronged the t'vam of the College Preparatory School. The weather was wet, cold and miserable, but upon being asked if they minded it, the New Girls, with true college spirit, responded heartily, ttPooh! Whats the weather to a jolly crowd like this, anyhow? Loyalty, you see, was al- ready becoming evident. But now a new interest was awakened in the minds of the girls, and set them think- ing. Along the walls were pinned a number of magazine pictures and original drawings. Each one represented a recent play or book whose name was familiar. Each girl was provided with pencil and paper and started to guess the hid- den titles of the books and plays. Among them one especially deserves mentioning. The play, uThe Road to Yesterdaxf' was represented by a long, broad avenue with ttFriday printed in large letters upon it. As it was now Satur- day, what other conclusion could be formed than that it was 't The Road to Yesterday? Nevertheless a good many had to put their thinking caps on, before it was rightly guessed. At last two of our most brilliant thinkers, Louise Wilby and Helen Kinsey, were awarded the prizes. The next event on the program was the dancer One or two of our accomplished mu- sicians played splendid two-steps and weltzes. Indeed, so alluring was the music. that several of the faculty joined in the rollicking fun. Virginia Bell and Barbara Thrasher, as leaders of the dance, distributed the dance cards in a most hospitable way. Ut is easy to under- stand how quickly the girls became acquainted when you picture in your mind that merry afternoonJ Suddenly someone appeared at the door, Tea! Like magic, the room was emptied of its laughing throng. The last note of Experi- ence was left unfinished as the player ran off after the others, having had 'texperiencen herself with the School ttteas. Everyone likewise trooped t0 the study hall. Here the girls were served with a most dainty and tempting ttspreadft After the attack of the hungry giris, the lovely table looked very much as though Caesar's whole Roman army had passed over it! Butalas! All good times must come to an end. The hands of the clock insisted upon dropping, and no amount of wishing could stop them. Did the girls really enjoy them- selves? If not, why then did some of them keep impatient coachmen waiting thirty or forty minutes? Did they feel acquainted and at home in the school afterwards? I, for one, know a New Girl who has en- joyed every moment of companionship with the school and girls, not only since the second of November, but since the very first day of October. RUTH A. DITTMAN.

Bless you, children, it has been many a year since I sang a good, rollicking Christmas song, but if you will come right up close around this big log-fire you shall hear the story of a Christmas carol sung in Fairyland. There, nOWe 'tOnce upon a time there stood, away high up on a rolling hill, above a quick curving river, a beautiful Castle, a veritable fairy palace, owned by a fairy queen. Early every morning there sounded a bugle from the castle. tower and myriads of big and little fairies gathered within the walls to work and play together. After the last notes of the bugle had floated out over the hills, the draw-bridge was swung high into the air and those for whom it was swung low again had to pay a fearful penalty, for this was a very orderly bit of Fairyland. 77 ttThen, when the Christmas season came. the big fairies worked all day. lndeed, they worked even until the sun had quite hidden him- self in the river and the stars had begun to nod to one another over the palace. But the queen and her big fairies could never have prepared so wonderful 3 Christmas carol had not the little fairies and the funny, little brownies helped. CThose brownies, by the way, were the only boys, beside the castle warden and Santa, ever permitted within the walls, so the fairies, big and little, appreciated their presenceimmenselyj ttAt last the preparations for the Christmas carol were completed and my reindeers were hurrying over the snow, because it never would do for Santa Claus to be late in Fairyland. But long before my sleigh reached the draw-bridge, who do you think had crossed it? First of all arrived more than a hundred big and little fairies carrying beautiful dolls and playthings to hide away in great bags for Santa to find. Then there was a rushing sound and half a dozen brownies came tumbling over the bridge, their arms filled with all the toys that delight the hearts of tiny boys. And, oh, the funniest toy of all was a monkey with a tail so long that-but more of him later. Next arrived little messen- gers from lands across the seas, from northern and from southern lands, all bearing gifts to heap into the mysterious, overflowing bags. ttQuickly the wonderful Christmas tree was lighted. The great doors were thrown open, and a cheer of welcome greeted a whole band of tiny children, who came from a land of which you know nothing-a land of deep shadows, where the Christmas bags are never over-flow- ing, unless kind fairies go to fill them. These little babies, some of whom had never called anything mine, and most of whom had never seen a Christmas tree, and none of whom had ever been in a real, true fairy-land, were dazed and frightened at this first, awful glimpse nBut soon they were all seated in a circle, listening to the Christmas piecestt and to the songs of the fairies. At last, they even joined in and were all merrily singing ttJingle Bellsf when real bells were actually heard coming nearer and nearereand, suddenly, the long-ex- pected Santa appeared! Now play-things and babies and fairies were all tumbled together on the floor. In wide-eyed amazement the children shook hands with Santa Claus, and confided to him their Christmas secrets. The excitement was so intense, that even pink ice cream was eaten without full appreciation of its unfathoma- ble mystery. ttAnd, 0h, another strange and untoward mystery awaited the babies. Indeed, the uChrist- mas Carolt was, by this time, only half sung. Now the groaning and creaking of the draw- bridge was heard again, and soon there appeared a man with a large box, which moved about most curiously on three legs. Then Fairy-Queen and fairies; brownies and guests and all of the little messengers from foreign lands were hud- dled around the Christmas tree. After a seem- ingly endless wait the babies were informed that they had had their pictures taken. ttThe children were becoming tired. There had been more than one squabble over mixed toys and even a few transient tears over broken doll babies. However, some of the most sturdy little Hungarians were still in high spirits. Little Nicholas insisted all the way up the stairs and all the way down the stairs, and all the way across the draw-bridge, on telling his comrades,amid wild gesticulations, that his monkeyts tail was nthis longuno, this long-no, still longer-Fno, its as long as me and, oh, its lots longer than you. ttOnce more the old draw-bridge groaned as it swung low to allow the happy, happy babies to pass. At the castle-windows all of the fairies stood, waving ttgood-byet' with their banners of gold, white and blue. They, too, smiled happily, as they thought of the bit of cheer and brightness that this glimpse of a beautiful land had brought to all of those little boys and girls, who were toppling pell-mell along the snowy road. There, now, children, that is the only ttChrist- mas Carolt, you need hear to-night. It is growing late, and Santa must be off, up the chimney in a jiffy. Away with you to dreamland, and, remem- ber, you may all be fairies if you wishuor brow- nies. What you have to do is to love the little people from the land of deep shadows, and soon youtll all be wanting to sing a Christmas Carol of your own, in this beautiful fairy land. iiGood-night.

HE Dramatic Club President laid down her pen and looked at :5 the clock, which pointed to k the hour of two. Then she rubbed her hands and called out, Yo-ho, there! Vice-Presi- dent! These two officials came briskly in, wearing Secretary I looks of pleased anticipation. IIYO-ho, my dears, said the President, skip- ping about the room with wonderful agility, No more work, to-day. The Valentine Party, girls! here ! Letls clear away and have lots of room Clear away! It was done in a minute. All the chairs were pushed up against the wall, the floor plentifully powdered, the window- 81 shades drawn up, the big Valentine box brought in, and the Gym was as bright and warm a ball-room as one would desire on a rainy afternoon. Then in came the orchestra and went to the piano and tuned till everyone had fifty headaches. In came our Alma, one vast sub- stantial smile. In came Leonora, wild and in- coherent as regarded gestures and speech. In came all the young Dramatic Clubbers, some some boldly, some gracefully, shyly, some awkwardly. In they all came anyhow and everyhow. Then the music began and away they went, some two-stcpping, some barn- dancing, some not doing anything in particular. When everyone had become thoroughly tangled in the mazes 0f the two-step circle, the Presi- dent called out, Well doneltt and the orchestra mopped her face with a towel provided es- pecially for the purpose. Then there was the distribution of Valen- tines, which caused a great deal of merrlment and excitement. Also there were games and cake and ice-cream tat the appearance of which the younger and more sordid-minded members set up a great cheerJ But the great effect of the afternoon came when the orchestra struck up ttT he Merry Widow Waltz? Then three distin- guished members stood out to dance. A pretty stiff piece of work, too-to dance before three or four and twenty people; people who would not be trifled with; who would have dancing and no excuse. But had they been twice as many, our Secretary would have beena match tor them and so would her two partners. And when they had gone through the intricate figures of the ballet, they leaped gracefully from the platform to the floor and came up again without a stagger. At four otclock this interesting party broke up. Our PreSident stationed herself by the door, shaking hands with each girl as she went out. Going down the drive, the girls gave the school cheer, enthusiastically. Then the happy voices died away and the party became a thing of the past 82 Our Common Birds A LECTURE BY MR.

N MAY DAY, at the home Of Miss Gwendolyn R., a delightful affair was given by the Juniors for the Seniors. Miss Gwendolyn R.,'the President and Miss Ruth K., the Secretary of the Juniors, had spared nothing to make the little ones happy, and the party was 84 gloriously successful. At half after three,the nine Juniors were standing in line ready to receive. Little Miss R. wore a simple, but elegant French dress with blue sash and blue hair ribbons; Miss K. was attired in a white linen frock, with pink ribbons restraining her long, dark curls. Tho Misses Ruth C., Marion 0., Louise W., Wini- fred 6., Alma D. and Charlotte 5., were all dain- tily dressed in light party frocks. with bows, ruffles and frills. Miss Virginia B. quite delighted the eyes and hearts of certain little girls by appearing as Bus- ter Brown. At a quarter of four the dignified Seniors arrived in state. But, ten minutes later, when they descended the stairs to be received by their little school mates, there were but four shy, giggling, children. The Senior Presi- dent, Margaret C., was a coy little maiden of tour. Grace M., in long baby clothes, goo-ed happily. tThink of itD Marianne C. and Ethel M. as the twins- Johnnie and Williett- received a pro- longed feminine ovation. tin return for this they presented each favored lass with a bright- colored marbleJ Then there was a general yell.

School yells, class yells. and school-anrl- class-songs were given. The Juniors were cheered, Gwen was cheered, Miss D. and Miss H. were cheered and the Seniors were cheered. And then the Junior President gave a master- ly speech, which was answered by a short, but sweet one on the part of the Senior President.

On my lap was an oId IoIio edition of As You Like It. I had long been collecting early editions of Shakespeare's works. This was the last needed to complete my set; it was also the rarest. The red shaded Iamps had been lighted and the curtains drawn. The morocco binding sent forth an odor like san- dal wood. As I was musing over the years gone by and occa- sionally reading from the volume' I heard sIow, light foot steps. Glancing up, I saw outlined against the crimson curtain of the door a Iithe figure, somberIy dressed in the fashion of the age of Queen Bess.

Come on, I said, I wiII show you Cincinnati. I expected Jaques to be terrorized at the snorting monster, but he dropped nonchalantly into the seat beside me. If excited, The car was soon waiting at the door. he concealed his emotions under a hIase air. As we reached the heart of the city Jaques complained that he saw everything through a mist. I laughineg ex- plained to him that it was only Cincinnati smoke. The street cars, the tall buildings, the people, were aII a noveIty to my new found friend, also the mighty display of lights were a source of interest. At last We passed a. theatre. Then it occurred to me that Jaques might like to visit one. By the posters I. saw that HAS You Like It was being given at the Grand Opera House. I asked if he wouIcI care to go. For the Erst time Jaques seemed really animated. i'I Iain would go. I pray you, Sir, proceed. We dismissed the automobile and crossed the street. I stopped on the corner to buy a paper. When I turned to Jaques I found him confronting a large man, with dia, monds galore, and a uget rich quick air written aII over him. At this moment he grabbed Jaques by the arm and hurried him away. I was surprised and not aIittIe disturbed at such a high handed performance. Nevertheless, I hastened after them. We entered a dingy door which I knew led to the stage. The corpulent kidnapper ushered us into a shabby gray dressing room. He offered us cigars, then in a hreathIess voice eprainecI his peculiar behavior. It seemed that the actor taking the part of JaqUes was una- hIe to appear because of a sudden illness. The manager had just come from this actor's hotel when he chanced to see Jaques in the correct costume for the part. Thinking him to be an actor and probably familiar with the lines, he The gentIeman most concerned oddly enough consented. I sat in the front row and watched the play progress, Jaques acting magnihcently. There wasa mighty burst of applause as the curtain went decided to press him into service. I sprang to my feet with the rest of the audience calling for Jaques. Then-it was a night of wizardry-I seemed to be standing in my own library. The butler came in inquiring: nDid you call, Sir?

This moon swung low on the horizon and sank slowly as though loth to withdraw the enchanting, enriching touch with which it enfoicied the whole scene. The sheaves were piled in graceful stacks which swayed and rustied in the night wind and nodded their tasseled taps as though, emboldened by the subdued light. they were wagging their sage heads and holding solemn concourse. They seemed marvelously alive. You would not have felt in the least surprised if they had joined their protruding sheaves and progressed-not moved-forward in tong lines, marching and counter marching or bowing this way and that in a stately dance to the sighing of the night wind. Each tassel top was a wisped thing of golden tracery, contrasting in color with the deep brown in the shadows.

DOROTHY KELLOGG, I907. 97 A Day in Amsterdam When the first rays of the sun shone down on the red tiled roots and the brown and white gingerbread houses of Amsterdam, the old city square was quiet and vacant of all life. In the growing tight the square had a calm. trim. quaint aspect as though it were a part of a steeping, story- book town. Save the tintding ot the water in the fountain, which stood in the middle of the great red and white tiled At one end of this square stood the large red brick Bourse. At the other end stood a row of narrow, prim houses which leaned out over the street; their high fronts were cut off at the top like square, the quietness was not broken. two pairs of stairs. Slowly the door of one of these houses opened witha stealthy creak, and an old woman came out carrying in her hand a bucket and a scrubbing brush. She waited a mo- ment for another Woman Who Was coming ctown the street carrying across her shoulders a yoke, from which hung two buckets. The two women nodded and then Walked to- gether t0 the fountain, with the easy, swinging gait of the strong and muscular At the fountain they put down their buckets and, with their hands on their hips, stood gossiping in their strange jargon, as unintelligent to foreigners as the rattling gibberish of black birdsr Soon two or three more women joined the First two and all stood there chatting for Then one by one they dipped their buckets in- to the fountain and afterwards clattered off in their wooden some time. shoes. Each one stopped in front of her door and soon all 98 Were busily at work washing and scrubbing the sidewalk, the stone steps and the brick fronts of the houses. Suddenly there came a shrill whistle and all turned ex- pectantly to see a jolly, round-facect boy, almost lost to sight in a very full pair of black knickerhoekers and two or three red jackets tightly buttoned to his chin. With his hands in his pockets he clattered up, whistling the latest tune, HHia- watha.n Behind him came his trusty little black and brown dog, tugging steadily along under a big green cart. This was piled full of shining copper mitkvpaits, which rattled over the round cobblestones at each jolt of the two-wheeled cart. The boy stopped for a moment to drink from the fountain. Quick as a shot. the dog dropped to the ground and lay there panting while his master refreshed himself, and called to the rosy-cheeked maids, who were now opening the doors and taking down the shutters. Then, with a cheery whistle, the boy started again followed by his patient little helper. By this time the nscrub Women had finished their Work and the square was beginning to fill with people. City workmen, in their baggy corduroy hreeches. white shirts and gay red sashes, now began their tasks in the streets. Day laborers hurried past, shuHiing across the square in their loose, tow-heetecl, black wooden shoes. Then several tourists, anxious Hto get in all the sights, came hurrying along With eager. expectant taces. One stopped to gaze at the fountain. another stared up at the tower of the uBourse and then pulled out the ever-present UBaedekern and began to read aloud to a third. who, at the other side of the square, was trying in vain to persuade two tall. gaunt Dutchmen to pose for their pictures at a penny apiece. Soon. however, with kodak set and eyes ready for any new sights, the tourists hurried on. At noon the square was crowded. Children came scampering home from school and almost all stopped, for at least a moment, to dabble their lingers in the cool water. One small boy, to out do the others, quickly took off his wooden shoe and soon was sailing it in the water, to the great delight of all the children. Then, while they played around the fountain, the great hell in the Bourse rang out and from all directions men began to push into the square. For several hours people hurried in and out of the great building ancl the place was crowded with men and boys trying to get jobs as messengers. Finally, however, the streets grew Clark, the great doors of the NBourse were shut and barred, the shops were closed and only a few lights flickered in the streets. Soon after- wards an old man and two women came into the square. 4572? ' . .M..erwijrf3l zmazu-wym . pushing a heavy and gaudily decorated street piano. They took their stand at one side of the square and began to grind out unmusical tunes. The airs. however. were loud and lively and soon nearly all of the children from the old part of Amsterdam were skipping. hopping ancl whirling around in a queer, fantastical Dutch dance. Two or three grey-haired old grand-fathers leaned against the fountain basin and stolidly puffed their long-stemmed meerschaum pipes, but watched with sparkling eyes the frolics of the youngsters. Their dance was a mixture of hops, skips, jumps and dizzy turnings. This general merry-malcing lasted all evening until finally the lights in the square were turned out and all was in utter darkness. The fountain was left alone to murmur away to itself and to wait for another day. And the thing that impresses the observer is that, despite their queer clothes and odd customs, these Dutch people are, in many ways, like those of other nations, and the life that goes on, day after day, in this quaint, old city, is much like the life of any other large city.

His First Party Lite for Tommy had been moving in its usual pleasant course, presenting few hardships other than those ordinarily endured by a small lad of seven. the invitation came. 1 t was a joy to liveiuntil Then it may be, that Tommy desired to put an end to his brief existence. at least for a convenient time. Not that the invitation was different from any others, for it read: nMiss Marjorie Brown cordially invites you to her birthday party, Saturday afternoon, October tenth, and Tommy's name, with those of his tour younger sisters, was on the envelope. The younger girls Were delighted. They could not understand why Tommy did not welcome the opportunity of mingling with society. The family were provoked at his stubborn opposition to attending a party! Since they were many and Tommy only one, his aversion was of no avail and the acceptance sent off without delay. It naturally followed that the younger girls must have new dresses and Tommy a new suit. The older girls will- ingly offered their services and Tommy was taken to the city by two of them. He was dragged around from store to store while hnery was selected for his sisters. The only consola- tion he had was in thinking that perhaps they would not He was robbed of that coma tort, finally, tor the girls, satisfied with their purchases, mag- have time to get him a suit. 1.01 nanimously spent a half hour selecting Tommy's suit. Tommy didn't like it. He thought it looked too hahyish ujust like the little folks wore in the kindergarten, and then he overheard the clerk say that he looked just too sweet in it, and that increased his dislike. The girls liked itI though, ordered it sent home and reprimanded Tommy for being ungrateful. At last the day of the party came. The weather was lovely and the young girls were rejoicing over their luck. This'was not so with Tommy. All the other little boys in the neighborhood were going to see Bamabee's Trained Animals that afternoon. It was bad enough to have to waste a Saturday on a party, but to have to give up seeing the trained animals was a tragedy to Tommy. How the boys would brag about what they had seen! He might brag about the partyait he only hadn't been made to go. Then, also, the family had kept him within reach all morn- ing for fear he would mysteriously disappear, just as if he had to be mtended to like a baby. He looked with longing eyes at the little boy next door. proud possessor of a baby brother and not burdened with even so much as one sister. After dinner he was sent to nurse who had had her orders to uscrub him thoroughly. She fulfilled herinstruc- tions to the letter and Tommy was almost alraid that he had been dispossessed of his nose and eyes. He wildly wished that they had been rubbed off, because then maybe they would let him stay home Next came the ordeal of getting into the hated suit. At last when he was all dressed and duly inspected by the older girls and had had his tie tied and his hair combed by everyone of them, he was sent down to the parlor to sit quietly on a chair until time for departure. He might look at a book it he chose. It took the younger girls some time to dress for they had many things of importance to talk about. They Wondered what boys would be there and who would take them into supper. They had to discuss just how each one should Fix her hair and whether they should all wear blue ribbons or Two of the girls were ready first and impatiently hastened away. Then the others began to worry for fear they would be late. After some sharp words on their part and much good-nature on nurse's. they were each a different color. u I V dressed. They left amid clamor and confusion and arrived at the party just in time for the Erst game. When the game had been played and the prizes dis- tributed, the young people went into supper. Then one of the girls made a startling discovery. Tommy could not be found. The girls gathered together and after a noisy collo- quy the mystery was solved. They had forgotten all about Tommy in their haste in leaving home. The girls who had left first supposed he would come with the others, who, in their turn. thought that he had gone. In the meantime Tommy was sitting in the parlor on a stiff upright chair, which he had chosen as more in keeping with the occasion. His book was on the Hour and Tommy was sound asleep dreaming of nBarnabee's Trained Animals . All the ladies who did difficult things on horse-back re- sembied his sisters and Tommy himself was the chief trainer.

Finally the bride and groom met at the a'tar. each a little pale and with a slightly strained expression. Anita's dazed mind could grasp only an indehnite idea of what was happening.

Call it the 'Full-Moon Club, and be gone.U Mother's tone was a trifle impatient,but what saintls would not be at the end of a rainy day? The children ran off to organize their club. After much heated discussion, with the nurses help, they drew up these rules. Rules. The name is HFUILMoon Club? 2. You must mind the president if the members say he says what is right. 3. Love is president Icause she is youngest. 4. You must call her Hannah 7cause that is her real name. 5. Hob is secretary Jcause Hannah is president. 6. You must call him Horace. 7. We must have refreshments every meeting. As her caller had gone hwithout accomplishing her purposey mother came into the nursery. h 'What shall we do next? Hob said. HDecide who shall be asked to join the club. I ad- vise you to keep it small. Donit ask more than one or two, , Perhaps the good of the club was not the only thing mother thought of when she thus advised the chilaren. The next ten minutes were taken up in arguing as to who should be asked to join. Jimmy Brown was fmally decided on as worthy of that honor. Jimmy, however, was not as enthusiastic as might be expected. HlVIy mamma goes to a club every Friday, he said, HWhen she gets home she is always cross and says she will never go again.H From the minute Jimmy began to lookdown on the club he became a much more desirable member. h'This club is different?

At last his wife's attentions Were otherwise attracted. She began staring indignantly clown at the other end of the car. I looked to see what could be the cause of such wrath. At the further end of the car there was a young lady, The baby was bundled and tied so not even the tip of its nose could be her husband and a very troublesome baby. seen, but all this bundling could not prevent numerous muffled cries from escaping. Without doubt these peculiar cries might be interpreted by a loving father as Da, Da, Finally but to me they sounded more like hoarse coughs. 114 the baby began to wiggle and squirm so the poor mother was fairly distracted. With that look of it it hurts me more than it does you, but it is for your own good, upon her face, she rigorously spanked the baby. From then on the baby received these reassuring pats whenever it uttered a cry, much to the indignation of the old lady opposite. in fact, the troublesome baby was not the only disturb- ing obiect which annoyed the old lady who seemed to feel that she alone was responsible for the care and well being of her fellow-travelersi She called upon the porter every ten minutes to arrange this or disarrange that. Having exhausted the porter, Mrs. Bomble began an investigation in behalf of the gasping baby. Madame, she said at length, If it is, l have . u is your child afflicted with the croup? But the rest of her speech was unheard, for the father who had seemed to enjoy his wifeis efforts to quiet the baby, burst out into a hearty laugh. Whereupon he received a reproachful look from his wife and a haughty glare from the old lady. Rebuked from all sides. the father dutifully subsided. As the spankings and cries still continued, Mrs. Bomble began again, 'iMaciame, give me the child and I'll quiet it..' The mother looked rather doubtful, so Mrs. Bumble added indignantiy, ui have raised eight children Very successfully and they have rarely been known to cry However, the young mother decided to keep charge of the baby herself. Mrs. Bumble then turned angrily to her husband and shaking his arm even more vigorously than before, she cried, Mr. Bombie, you are asleep I With this peremptory summons he awoke with a start and placing his spectacles upon his thin, angular nose, he gazed benigniy at the abused babyi Then folding his hands complacently. he leaned forward and The mother 'said: ii l-l pray you can it-a-i-crawi?n seemed astonished at Hist, but laughing merrily replied, 'iYes indeed, but I hope he won't try here. At last when the train reached Boston the cruel parents rose to depart, much to the relief of Mrs Bomble. As they passed her with the gaelaing baby, Mrs. Bomble,in a Enal attempt to arrange some one elseis affairs, said: nMadame, if you would remove some of those shawls the child wouid be relieved.

MARGARET CLARK, I908. 115 lHirturw .11?er $13.11;; Hotel Britannia, Venice. My Dear Miss Doherty, 1 can hardly realize that only two months ago I was with you at the dear old C. P. 5. Since that time I have been traveling through Italy as fast as I could. To tell you all I have done and seen would be impossible, so I shall write only a few lines of my visit in Italy. I stayed in Rome about four weeks and was busy sight- seeing from early in the morning until late at night. I often wished I were a centipede so that I could see everything. The first time I passed through the gates of Rome I remem- bered that you told me to see Rome for you, and I certainly tried to. In the Iall,when I come back I shall tell you all about it. Rome certainly is the most wonderful city in the world even now. Ilove it with all my heart and soul and can understand the feeling of others who have visited the Eter- nal City. I wish I had a whole year to spend there and see everything thoroughly. You must go next winter and I promise to look after your girls at the C. P. 3. Don't you think that an excellent scheme? 116 One always has his favorite spots in the cities, and mine were the Appian Way and the Palatine. Howl enjoyed Professor Forbe's lectures in the palace of the Caesars, and the house of Germanicus! Every now and then I wishl had studied just a little bit harder with you and Miss E. My advice to all the girls is to prepare now for their trip to Europe. Still no matter how stupid a girl is, she cannot help appreciating Rome. It is a place that grows on you. The more you see, the more you want to see, and many a time I felt as though I had slipped back into the time of the Caesars. One evening We visited the Coliseum by moon-light, and the quotation 'Ia marvelous wreck in ruinous peiiection expressed my idea exactly. My cousin and I climed up one of the walls and looked down into the pit below, until we felt that we were actually witnessing the bloody scene.
