DEBATE- fArises, opens Robert's Rules of Order, lays it on the table and ad- dresses the chair.J Madame Chairman, it is with deepest regret That I move the adjournment of this happy meeting, But with Alethean and Phi Delta taking their departure, Embarking for a brighter tomorrow May some Winged Angel ere too late Arrest the yet unfolded Roll of Fate, That We may not be robbed of our Honor. CHAIR-I do dismiss you, But Debate! could not you and I With this stern Recorder conspire When We come together Weakley That we might grasp this sorry scheme of Things entire, Shatter it to bits, and then Re-mould it nearer to the Hearts Desire. Adjourned. SCENE IV. CTh-e curtains are drawn back we see a semi-circle of chairs about the hearth. In the rear can be seen the banquet table in disorder, Wine glasses are upside down, the linen laying in rumpled heaps.j Alethean and Phi Delta have departed. Society dressed in the deepest mourning, leans back in her cha.ir and looks- With unseeing eyes into the dying embers. Preparation somewhat older in appearance, but with a sweet contented smile upon her face reclines comfortably in her easy chair. f Debate stands erect with that satisfied NI told you so expression upon her ace. Declamatory makes a stately bow and as she turns to take her leave of thfe assembly, a tear is seen glistening upon her fair cheek. Chair sits erect a haughty and disdainful expression upon her stern face, and nods authoritatively. Pseudo disheartened and drooping bemoans her fate. h f,Jest With a mournful sigh drys the tears from her eyes with a lacey 'ker- c ie . Confidence smiles contentedly the radiance of her beaming face sends a gleam into the darkest nook. Coquette is dancing gayly about whispering to all of the joy and happiness she brings.

Although with joy and pleasure your invitation I'll accept. SCENE III. CA large banquet hall, Phi Delta at the head of the table is toastrnaster Alethean at his right and the other guests around the table.J PHI DELTA QA1-isingy A toast to the maid with most exquisite grace, Whose character of truth and love sublime Beam in her most beautiful face. She does as Channing says, Seeks elegance Rather than luxury, and refinement Rather than fashion, to be worthy not Respectable, and wealthy not rich. 'This she whom Declamatory seeks, 'Tis she who gives debate her wit. And Confidence will say, Mercy on us I cannot live without you. While I, pour my ardent love about her. JEST- Here's to hoping my turn may come To give him a friendly warning, To you Phi Delta I would say, Her heart is like some icy lake On whose brink you stand, Oh buckle on your spirts skate, And may some loving saint lead your way to where the ice is thin, That it may break beneath your feet to let a lover in. ALETHEAN- One and all may I ever be with you in spirit, May I be your shield through strife And your guide while thru life you glide. But now far across the hills we'll go, Phi Delta and I. To that world which is old, across the fields and far away Beyond their utterniost purple rim And into the dying day, I'll ever follow him. SOCIETY- Yet never may their mystic paths Breathe whispers of the mournful past, Or Pseudo wake her with sounding horn Mid Ether's columned temple vast, Grave History walks again on the earth as erst it did in days of old, 1 But when seated on her golden throne, may Aletheants hard a jeweled scep- ter hold. PSEUDO- 'Tis with sad regrets I see Phi Delta woo her, For without her there will be to me no music in the trees To charm me with its frolicking mirth When Alethean I cannot tease But they all say, Thus shift the scenes till high aloft The young moon sets her crescent horn, And in the gray eveninQ s emerald sea The beauteous star of love is born.

Bessie Nachazel E112 iknnizxn Eliterarg Snrictg MARGARET OWENS Since the beginning of colleges and academies such organizations as literary societies have been necessary and Ellsworth Academy can boast of such a body, the Aonian Literary Society. This organization together with the Academy boys society, now the Philo- mathean, was jointly organized under name of Aonians about the year 1900. Nearly six years later the society divided into two separate groups,-the girls then becoming the Aonian society of which we still are proud. For twelve years the Aonians have faithfully kept this body together in order that every girl below college rank may have the privilege of taking part in Literary work and many girls who are in school for only the twelve weeks term find the work beneficial in preparation for their teaching. For the critic and advisor a lady faculty member is chosen. Mrs. Stout held this place from the time of the organizing until this year when Mrs. Reynolds became critic.
