DIILDRED ELIZABETH DAVIDSON. DORA QMIRIADI DAVIS. WVho walks here so sedately? VVhy, Dora, of course. No other possesses half the dignity. To her, we feel we should give that part in our play which requires the deeper feeling rather than mere words. It is to her that we appeal for sym- pathy. Does she not feel our sor- row even before it is expressed? Perhaps we may overlook her quietness since she is one who of- fers to us the fruits of her medita- tion.. 32' 1i.AMSEY, J. Yes. other companies do want Mildred for she is such an excellent Director. She has accepted the Do- sition as President of Thespis, but from the manner in which she ar- ranges and directs our play we know that she is still faithful to our interests. Her skill and mas- tery in supervision are so extraord- inary that we cannot help wonder- ing whether those frequent trips to Cornell are taken in order to get hints for her stage work. It is re- gretted, but believed that she will give up this successful worldly career to reign in a inan's heart and home. Her kind-, generous na- ture, her thoughtfulness and fideli- ty of affection point to a hearth fire bright. PENN YAN. N. Y.

ANNA DIAY COLRIDGE. Ambition, energy and persever- ance are Anna's eliaracteristivs and in the way she utilizes every mo- ment she teaches us valuable life lessons. She takes a lively interest in anything she undertakes, and seems to enjoy her studies thor- oughly. Argumentation is her fa- vorite, however, and it is well that the farmers of our country do not investigate the effect of the tariff on them as-thoroughly as Anna or we might expeet ill general uprising in the rural d'ist1'icts. ROSA S. COTTON. I-IA RTFORD, N. Y. EI.lSIl'lT,A, N. Y. ive would prophesy for Rosa a brilliant career in the business world. She is known for her splen- did executive ability and has lots of energy and always knows just what to do. As assistant busi- ness manager of the Sibyl she has proven herself an indefatigu- able worker, and whenever ap- pointed to a committee always assumes a large share of the re- sponsibility. Rosa has a great lore for amusements, the theater is one form, andshe can tell you about all the best dramas and con- certs. She's fond of dancing, too, but thinks Ithaca the best setting for this pastime.

FLORENCE ETHEL DRAKE. O, dear, Ethel's fountain pen said to itself one day, why does niy owner take all the sciences in the catalogue. I'm simply all worn out describing 'twigs' and writing up physical and chemical experi- men.ts. Then I have to stay in those stuffy labs for hours and hours, but she never seems to get tired and when she takes me up- stairs she sings and seems so hap- py. lVhy, I really think she loves to work. I guess she likes home pretty well too, for she uses me 'most every clay to write letters there. Iim glad she does, too, 'cause I like it a lot better than doin' ftwigsf DIARY JAY ELDRID GE. INTERLAKEN, N. Y. COLUBIBUS, OHIO. The busiest girl in college! No exaggeration surely, for Mary is no sooner through her lessons than she has half a dozen other duties confronting her, duties arising from the numerous offices she holds and from her active interest in every phase of college life. In athletics especially Mary stars and she contributed much to our be- coming the champions in basket- ball. However, no matter how many duties Mary may have at hand, not even the least of them is neglected for she is wonderfully systematic, and when her work is clone she's the life of every social function.
