THE CARDINAL Shocks A-Plenty The girls of Miss Prim's Boarding School were each day becoming more and more discouraged with their instructor. But no wonder, for Miss Prim was exactly the kind of a teacher to be scorned by the modern girl A very decided old maid of questionable years, she combed her hair from her face, into a huge knot on the top of her head, thus exaggerating her already unusual height. She wouldn't have her hair bobbed. Mercy no! She considered that style of coiffure very unladylike, in fact even vulgar, and as for a shingle, she almost had fits whenever anyone mentioned the word! Far down on her wrinkled nose was poised a pair of antique, gold-rimmed spectacles, over which she peered with a dreadful scowl. One threatening look from her was enough instantly to check any or all giggles in the classroom. Her long skirt daily swept clean the floor Cshe considered short lengths perfectly abominablej. Such was the mode of dress upon which she placed her stamp of approval and to which she unsuccess- fully tried to make her pupils conform. But her despotic rule could not last forever. One day, Martha Washington Jones, the little negress of the institution, brought a mouse into the Assembly and turned it loose. All of the girls, though terribly frightened for the moment, considered the event a huge joke, but not so Miss Prim! She expelled poor Martha that very same day. It was up to the girls, therefore, to get busy. Some scheme simply had to be devised to get revenge, but what could it be? They thought of every conceivable plan, and some inconceivable ones, as well, but none was practical. Finally Patsy hit upon a bright idea. Why not marry her to somebody? This was considered an excellent suggestion until the question arose, To whom shall we marry her? Surely nobody could tolerate her for a life-time! But immediately all heads fell to pondering over who the unfortunate victim should be. Vera timidly hinted that it be Patsy's bachelor uncle, but Patsy promptly declared that she didn't care to add such a specimen to her family museum. At last Jane brilliantly thought of the new minister who had just come to town. It was true that he was young, but he was very, very polite, and he might do it for manner's sake alone. The next day after school, Patsy and Jane cautiously slipped away to inter- view the minister. They frankly stated the cause of their visit and demanded an immediate answer. The minister was very surprised and embarrassed, but he managed to say, I-er-ah-um-I must say, -er-this is a very strange case, but- ah-I might come up and-er-meet her tomorrow after school. True to his word, the minister came on the following day. Patsy and Jane took him in to introduce him, but Miss Prim gave him one of her formidable frowns over the top of her glasses, saying sternly, Sir, what are you doing here? Don't you know men aren't allowed at this school?,' The poor preacher, instantly forgetting all his politeness and dignity, took French leave, retreating down the road under the friendly cover of a cloud of dust. Without a doubt he would have made a world champion runner could he but have had similar inspiration at each of his races. To say the least, the girls were out of luck again. They must select another 42
