Nora Willis has been abroad to study music, and now plays even more sweetly than when she was a little girl. Sue Lightfoot has lived at home and is much the same as when she wore two plaits to college and tried to look wise and dignified over hard problems in economics. Now they have planned a boating expedition, and separate to their rooms for hats and so forth, and here we will leave them.

QUIPS AND QUIBBLES Page 97 A Reason for Patiotism When into Dollie s eyes I gaze All filled with love so true, Of colors that I love, I swear The best of all is blue. But when I gaze on Clara dear, And on her well poised head All crowned in beauteous auburn hair, I’m sure I love the red. And when on Katherine I gaze Upon a moonlight night, And on her skin so wondrous fair, I swear I love the white. So wrapped in this uncertainty, Alas! what can I do? I’ll choose my country’s flag and love, The red, the white and the blue. R. C. T.
