Angstadt 'K l Ca- Can't see why they couldn't take me, too, wailed Terry O'I-lara, aged four, to his father who was seated in a big armchair. You must wait till you're a bit older, old man, replied Mr. O Hara. VVell, I am most growed up, and I wanna see Bill Hart, said Terry tearfully. But Mother and Kitty didn't go to see Bill Hart. Go lie down a while, Terry-lad, and you'll soon feel better about it. As Terry's eyes were beginning to feel rather heavy, he decided to take this sound advice. So he went to lie down on the big davenport. But he had no intention of going to sleep. He was going to wait for Kitty and Mother, and make them tell him all about the movies. ' Terry didn't remember just how long he had been lying there, when right in front of him appeared a great, tall creature. Terry thought it was a man, but he wasn't quite sure, for he had never seen a queeer look- ing person. The creature was dressed in red from head to foot. He even had a red beard. He was so thin that he looked almost like a big broom- stick. Terry was so frightened that he couldn't utter a sound. He won- dered how such a creature had come into his house. All of asudden, the Red Fellow grabbed him by one leg, and pulled him off the davenport. Then he stalked out. ol' the house. He was not gentle with Terry, as Terry's mother always was. In coming out of the house, he threw Terry over his shoulder, and started to walk as fast as the wind. Befoe one could say jack Robinson, they were in a land where everything was red. Houses, streets, sky, clouds, trees, people, everything so red that it hurt T erry's eyes to look around. They were in a big wide street. A great number of people were standing in the center of- the street. All of them looked exactly like the Red Fellow who had taken him away from home. Terry wondered it they were waiting for him. Poor Terry was wondering many things. VV hy had his father let this terrible Red Fellow take him away? NVhere was he, anyway? But he couldn't find an answer to any of these questions. The Red Fellow took him to the very center of the mob of people. There, Terry saw a big, red pot, suspended over a tire. Then the Red Fellow threw him into the pot. As soon as the people saw him, they started to yell and scream and howl. Then they all started to turn round and round. Terry wondered it there were many people in the world that acted in such a wild manner. During all this time, even though watch- ing and wondering, Terry was crying as though his little heart would break. He felt positively miserable. His head was whirling from watch- ing so much turning and twisting. He certainly did wish they would stop and do something else, if they wanted to do anything at all. He supposed they were going to eat him. Vlfell, if they really intended to do so, why didn't they do it quickly, and put him out of this misery? 14 The mad whirling kept on till there was nothing more than a blur before Terry's eyes. Then--why what had happened? Everything had vanished. He found himself sitting in a dark street. Away in the dis- tance, a single red light glowed cheerfully. Terry rubbed his eyes. He asked himself if he had been dreaming. But no, his head was still whirl- ing. Again he wondered where he was. H ow far away was home? VVell, he co,uldn't do less than try to get there. So, he started to run. He ran up one street and down another. He had never seen these streets before, but that was not unusual. He was seeing lots of new things this night. lt seemed as though he had been running forever when, suddenly, he saw his house right before him. Things certainly did appear the quickest ever. He was so tired he could barely crawl up the steps. But as he was in the house, and because he was so very tired, he went to lie down on the davenport again. . Terry! Terry! somebody called. 'KVVake up. lt's time for 'most growed-up boys to be in bed. Terry sat up with a jerk, although ho felt very tired. It was his father who was calling him. i'XNhy ja let 'im take me for, Daddy? asked Terry reproach fully. Let him take you! Let who take you, Terry? asked Mr. O'Hara in a puzzled manner. VVhy that Red Fellow. Didn't ja see him? Thereupon Terry pro- ceeded to tell his father all about his terrible visit, the screaming, whirl- ing red people, and the strange disappearance. By the time Terry had finished, his father's eyes were twinkling. Then he suddenly laughed boyishly. A suspicion that his father did not quite believe him entered Terry's active little brain. I was there, too, he added. My legs hurt' cause I ran so awful far. A' A crystal morning, Holding the shadows A sparkling noon, Suspended in air, A lazy eve, A gentle breeze, A. glorious moong The shadows f all, A bright star here, A hushed silence, A planet there, Over all. -O. K. The sun is fading in the Wlest, The misty shadows fallg And out from the depths of the forest deep, The mournful owls do call. And Oh! Xhfhat a thrill thru my being creeps, As I gaze, from this glorious heightg On the hasty jumping of each little star, Into its place for the night. -O. K. Don't study when you're tired, or Have something else to dog Don't study when 'you're happy, for That would make you blueg Don't study in the daytime, ' or Don't study in the night, But study all the other times, YNith all your main and might. -L. K. 15 AN 4 IF FOR GIRLS If you can dress to make yourself attractive, Yet not make puffs and curls your chief delightg If you can swim and row, be strong and active, Yet of the gentler graces lose no sight, If you can dance without a craze for dancing. Play without giving play too strong a hold, Enjoy the love of friends without romancing, Care for the weak, the friendless and the oldg If you can master French and Greek and Latin, And not acquire, as well, a priggish mieng If you can feel the touch of silk and satin, Wfithout despising calico and jeansg If you can ply a saw and hammer, Can do a man's work when the need occurs, San sing, when asked, Without excuse or stammer, Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slursg If you can make good bread as well as fudges, Can sew withhskill, and have an eye for dust, If you can be a friend and hold no grudges, A girl ivhom all will love because they mustg If some time you should meet and love another And make a home with faith and love enshrined And you its soul-a loyal wife and mother, You'll work out pretty nearly to my mind The plan that's been developed through the ages, And win the best that life can have in storey You'll be, my girl, a model for the sages, A woman whom the World will bow before. -Exchange.

Ask her how many doggie sandwiches she ate at the doggie roast. She is very studious and intends to teach some little tots their A, B, C's. She professes to be a man-hater. Imagine it! - MILDRED BATES Mildred Bates, the baby of the class, not in age but in size, is an all around sport. Any one that sat near her in the south transept knows what the interior of No. 4 looks like. Pates can talk th emost, the fastest, and say the least of any girl in '23 Feb. SARA If you ever see a Ford BELL just miss taking the wheel off another machine in passing, that's Sara Bell. If you ever see a Ford trying to run up a telegraph pole, that's Sara, too. Don't give up hope, Sara: some day in the distant future you may be able to learn to run your Ford. Q BARBARA BILLMAN This sweet, charming maiden is a great authoress. Indeed, we believe that some day she will become a Longfeller or Tennyson. Barbara's greatest trial is Algebra and sho heavvs many a sigh, as she strives to arrange the x's and y's THOBIA BLUMBERG XVc new introduce petite Thobia, the star U5 of our l'hvsics class. Although she is petite, she is not -hard to find, for she is at the root of all excitement. Thobia de- clares she would like to go to Goucher Collegeg is it be- cause she wants to become a school teacher??? 20 FRANCES 'BRUMBACH You now gaze upon one ,of star gigglers. She is,us- ually found running over to the annex, room SJ, or on North 3rd street. She loves to carry notes. Frances in- tends to go to Syracuse and nt doubt wants to become a teacher like+I guess we all know. DOROTHY DAVIS She intends to' wear a white cap, and put her cool hand on some one's feverish brow. This girl visits a certain movie nearly every evening. It's rather a mystery. CATHARINE CUMMINGS Ol' course ,there's one in every class, .VVho's always very goodg And Catherine sure can talk and U5 laugh, But talk in school she never would. CATHARINE DEEM ' XVel1, here is Kitty ! She is one ol the favorites and is liked by all in her class. Catharine is a good sport and in for all kinds of fun. No matter when or where vou see our Kitty, she is always wreathed in smiles. l XVe all know that she will make a success with her charming disposition, and we all wish her the best of luck. EVELYN DETTHOF , VVe1l, friends, gaze long and earnestly, and try to imagine what kind of a person Evelyn is. Appearances are very deceiving. Evelyn is a quiet, unassuming, dig- nified, blue-eyed little Miss, one whom every one can like and not find much fault with. She loves to go to the theatre to see NVallie Reed and other famous movie stars go through their paces. She is one of those specimens of the feminine sex, not interested in seeking out dark nooks with a male companion. But clon't think for a moment that she never will. 21 DOROTHY DORWIN ' own Dot! First of all, she is the champion athlete of the class! VVell anyway, it isnit her fault, for she wastes her summer vacation trying to look like one. XVG won- der'xvhy,Dot loves the XVild, XVild, ocean so much. Yes she is perfectly content to remain at the shore for the rest of her life, if need be. Nuff said? Good luck to you, Dot. MARY DRUMHELLER H At one time Mary's interest was held by the Colonial i lheatre. hut noxv it has changed to motorevcles. She just loves to travel to No. l-l. She is a great sport, and elnet giggler ol the class. JANICE DUBBS Behold! Bohhed Hair! G. II. S. stride. And-that uneoneeivahle something that is found only in what you would call the class Vamp. By the way, Jan, have you advertised as yet for that gone but not forgotten symbol, in the New York Times? Never mind, Janice, you can lind perfectly lovely specimens if you refer to Roosevelt's letter to his children. Nuff said. She shan't breathe a word. lVe all hope you have all the success in the world, Ian. SARAH EMORE TIN' Qlfl WHO just loves mathematics. She doesn't talk very much: therefore, she hardly ever visits No. JI at 3.10. Her father has a jewelry store, but we wonder if she gets all her necklaces from his store. CATHARIN E F ERREE Catharine is very fond of talking. lf you happen to be in the main room the 8th period, you will frequently here Section 51 XVhy? Because Catharine always sits in section 5. W 22 Now folks, we will endeavor to present to you our her, you will adniit she can surely talk. She loves very much to travel to a certain photographers because one time she saw there a pictureof--but why give her away? ll space? If you can, please hand it to Florence Gernert. Never mind, Florenceg we won't tell who he is. N , LILLIAN FLEISHER She looks very meek and mild, but when you know EVELYN K. FLOWER Here, folks, is Evvy. She is so tired of sehool she can hardly study. The reason .......... well I Just cant tell. It's a secret all her own. Evvy is a good dancer, but there is only one person she likes to dance with. s ESTHER GARIS Esther is one of the quiet girls of our class, but evertheless she is always willing to enter into the fun. MARGUERITE GARTMAN Much study is a weariness to the flesh is Marguer- ite's motto, and she certainly lives up to it. She is a lover of sports which are more popular with her than hooks.

Dot can parlex-vous and typewrite too. She has a great tendency to make a col- lection of scholarship buttons. EDNA Edna. what's the added attraction in No. 4 at 3.10? You often hear, XVl1at's in thing in her name, because she surely is High. HECKMAN LILLIAN HELLER Lillian is always ready for fun and even if she must make it for herself, she has all that she wants. But she knows when to stop and if over you need a friend, you can rely upon Lillian. HIGH a name? but tl1e1'c's some- IRENE HINKEL P Irene usually has a regular engagement in No. 4, and a regular svat by herself in No. 13. NVe don't understand it, but we all hear her talking' forever and aye. XVith her lovelx' dis position. who wonldn't want to have a reg'- . I nlar engagement with her? EDNA HILL This young maiden is especially talented in art. We believe she will establish her studio in Philadelphia, but don't get alarmed, Edna, because we won't say any more. 25 ' OLGA HOLLIS l Olga is one of tho studious QU mcinhors of tho class. i She rarely carries n hook home. ls it lwczuiso she passes Stief's hat store? Shi- is very fond of the opposite sex :ind has many admirers. GWYNNETH JAMES Gwynneth is very industrious. She would make I1 good zidvortisuxnont for 11 gylllllilillllll rluss, because she is one of the very few girls who has at perfect standing und sitting position, which is :1 result of her being very fond of zlthlvtics. llvr good nature' has won for her niztny friends. AUGUSTA HOFFMASTER XVell if it isn't Gus, one of the noisost girls of the class. You will ulwziys Iind her either giggling or talk- ing. Gus can usually he found in No. 4 at 3.10, or in the hall. She is usually ready to tell you at good joke or listen to one, which is usually the cause for hor outbursts. DOROTHY HOMAN llvro is Doll, the gigglcr of our Class. NX-'hon over sho is to he soon, she always has at smile on her face. l wonder what attraction No. 13 has for her, for almost ovary term she is allowed to go there. Never mind, Doll, as long as you are :t sport, 1 :un sure you will get ulong with the World very well. ETHEL KAERCHER llcre is Ethel, who is very fond of giggling, and llzlvingx :L good time. Ethel is one of the Champion swim- mers of the clz1ss?? In spite of the facd that she is a swinuncr. sho almost drowned this SlllHIl1t'1'. hut-well we just won't tell the rest. XVe often do wonder why lithcl likes to go to liI1ll'l'lSl7lll'Q'. 26 ANNA KANTN ER y You know Annu, the popular president of the Umpos. Besides she can usually be found at all the clunces. She is Fl good sport and always ready for ai good time. Anna Certainly does like curly hair-I wonder why! MARIAN KEHLER Kehler's hoard and found eyeryxyhcre. The zihove yerse tits Marion perfectly. She can us- ually he found in company with Helen Eng'1e,'riding up and down Penn street, powdcring her nose, which is her mnin occupation, using the windshield ns a. mirror. They sziy that necessity is the mother of invention. Her main ambition is to he some one's private secretary and to look cute. She hopus that that some one will be tnll and handsome. . liCl1lL l'iSllO1 U, Hehler's there, HELEN KELLER Helvn is :1 Very quiet girl. You enn hardly hear her speak when ,she gets up to recite. She studies four or five lessons in one period. I wonder il' she re: studies that many or thinks she does. MINNIE KELLER She eert:1inly'e:1n make il pizmo talk. In singing class, Any one thzit can do that is zi wonder. HELEN KERSHNER Helen is our old-fashioned maiden, possessing' that rzirc eh:tracteristic-modesty. She is not the youngest ol' our vlziss, hut she does have those dezir hzlhy ways. 27 Q Minnie Keller is a Pzulerewski of the '23 Feb, class. she DlZlj'S und wzitvlies Miss Shearer nt the same time. EMILY KIEFER Heres our little Emily. XVith hair bows she was 11 child. Presto! Hair pins made the Senior. But, alas, bobbed hair disclosed the infant. Nevertheless, she is the prodigy of the class, and we're proud of her. VVhen Emily grows up, she intends to become a teacher. Emily, we wish you the best of luck. X . 1 GRACE KILPATRICK Is this Grace? Oh yes, she is the girl of the ruins of a wood pile. I just know that is her favorite seat, for look! how content she seems to be! Grace is one of the sports of the class, and why shouldn't she be? . MARGARET KINSEY Besides a talker, every class must have at giggler, and lllargaret wins first prize. She giggles at nothing, and stops at nothing, but she's always quite Willing to do a good turn. RUTH E. KLINE Trip, trip, a dainty Miss, a vision of sweetness por- traying. Enter upon the scene, Ruth Kline. Ruth re- minds you of the famous movie stars: she is seen but very seldom heard. XVe were all doubtful about Ruth ever being married. She expects to do oliliee work when she resigns her position as child's nurse. But if she keeps centering her interest about the masculine sex, well, she won't do any oftice work. MARIE KRUG Marie was not always such a heavy-weight. She got that waxy studying so much. You always see Marie with :1 satehel in her hnnd filled with books. She is another one of our quiet girls. 28 MARGARET LAUCKS Margie, our noble historian! Her thoughts are al- ways engrossed in the reign of certain kinds, particular- ly the reign of the Georges! Besides loving English history, Margie is a lover of automobiles, Maxwells espec- ially! Her ambition is to be a kindergarten teacher, but we fear all the little Georges and Joes will receive her attention while the Toms, Graces, etc. will have to pile blocks unaided. ' ! ! MAE LEIBENSPERGER Mao is not very fond of school, but there is one per- iod she surely loves-lunch period. XVhen do we eat? is her favorite motto. Dancing and joking are also some of her accomplishments. ! ERMA LEINBACH Erma is the most studious member of our class. She studies her books through and through. In fact .she might be called an Information Bureau. Never mind, Erma, It is the mind that makes the body rich. ELEANOR MACLATCHIE Eleanor is one of our 'best pianists, as well as a good talker. She is a good dancer and very fond of having a good time. MARGARET MAHONEY Margaret Mahoney always reminds one of the fairy story, Jack and the Beanstalk, and she is not jack either. NVell Peg is a good sport, and knows how to take a joke, so we hope she will take this one in the spirit it was written. Being tall has its advantages. 29 x MARIE MATZ Marie is our most studious classmate. She doesnt helieve in wasting' time, and these are signs ol' future success. She is determined in whatever she undertakes and always tinishes what she hegins. MARION MAUGER Marion Manger is the star of the Physical Geograpliy Class. ll' she doesn't know the answer to a question, how could any one expect the other girls to know it? 'NVQ would suggest that Marion become a modelg she can pose so well. . LOUISE MEINIG Behold the greatest arguer of the class! Louise's greatest ambition is to get the best of an argument, es- pecially in Latin class. She expects to be a frequent vis- itor to Europe. Best wishes, Louise. CATHARINE R. MILLER This little lass has a smile for every one. She does not believe in exciting' herself by moving fast. She is a quiet CPD girl and can always he found with her pal, Ruth. RUTH M. CGIGGLESJ MILLER Snilli, snill, tee, hee, giggle, giggle, nothing out of the ordinary, just Ruth enjoying her daily exercise and causing a wave of anxiety over the rest of the girls, for fear they will he caught with her. Now friends, gaze upon this picture. It really doesn't do,Ruth justice for it cannot portray her admirable disposition. ' 30 s l EVELYN NEIDHAUK Every class has its infants, so of course, we have IS onl ' our infant is precocious XVhat we would like ou'- y, . to know, is thisg who explained to Evelyn, on a moon- light night along a romantically winding stream, just how and where Glow-worms are found ? Oh yes, Evelyn, we understand it was quite accidental. Evelyn isixiery quiet and dernureg perhaps that aecounts tor us a ov- ing her so much. Aclios, dear classmate. l ARLEY O'NEIL You will now gaze upon the ehzunpion talker of our elass. Arlev is always tall-:ing or giggling. Oh! how Arlev does vlike to rave about the teachers, this being her 'favorite pastime. Arlev does not believe in the old adage that Children should he seen, and not heard. RUBYXPEARSON Say it with music seems to be Ruby's favorite mot- , to. Ruby can usually be found at the dancing resorts. During the day she sits with a dreamy look in her eyes, as though she might be tired, but secretly we think her .thoughts are far away. Ruby's ambition in life seems to be centered about dancing. XVell here's wishing you luck, Ruby, in your chosen profession. NAOMI PFIEFLY Another quiet??? girl of the elass. Naomi is very fond of study. Her books are always open, but her thoughts far away. I wonder whom sho thinks about so much. Never mind, Naomi, l won't say another word. . DOROTHY PHILLIPS This charming bobbed-haired girl is a movie fan. One can iind her on Saturday evening strolling down Penn street to one of our well known movie houses. She is a frequent visitor to Manatawny Park. Is it because she likes Brookes? 81 Oh! I have so much to do. I'll never get done! Very quietly you search for the source of this exclama- tion and there but always gets there and while she's going, she'll help you along. I MADELINE PHILLIPS Din! Dong! Ding! Dong! ltladelinc, those aren't wedding bells, that's just the tire alarm! Poor Madeline has such wonderful concen- tratiyc power that shc's forever thinking shc's touring down the church aisle in a Buick., MILDRED REESER you will lind ltlildrcd. Sho may be late, i r This is the world dances with you. Sit and you sit alone. But sho soldom si ts. for be a wall flower. MARGARET REIDNAUER . Pug, as the name implies, has put many a peg in the ht-arts of several of thc opposite sox. But she says sho hates men: so they are all out of luck. Pvg is 0110 of those girls who is looking for an ideal man! Perhaps, that is why she tried so many. Ono thing we do know is that Peg will make an excellent cook. To watch Peg for a few moments you would imagine she is pondormg dc-cply on some hard problem. XVcll, it is a hard pro- blem for Peg, as there are so few ideal mon. EVA REIFSNYDER girl whose motto is, Dance and the sho is too full of life and animation to MIN NIE REINERT Our fun will now begin with thc maker. Minnie al- ways has something to say that makes you laugh. ll' anybody gots along in this world, it will be Minnie. Life goes and comes and still sho is the same. That is thu reason sho has so many friends. 32 KATHARINE RENNIN GER Here is a girl who thinks Harold signities happiness because it begins with an H. XVell, things equal tc the same thing are equal to each other. That applies in actual life as well as in Geometry. Kits main interest iii life seems to be centered around this certain Harold- no, we are not speaking' of furniture stores. Katharine did not take Domestic Science because she liked it-she thought she would need it. SARAH RUMBAUGH . Q - Sarah has suddenly become quite industrious in Latin. She is extremely studious, however, tive minutes before class, or hetween the ringing ol' bells. She is a strong advocate for Shillington Highg can anyone tell why? JEAN RYAN ' llere's our Dear Old jean. Don't look so frightened, jean, we're not asking you to revisit No. 4g,we're just asking you to make a few motions for us. Yes, jean has ' adopted a new method ol' talking-but alas! The climax A is identical. . , ANNA E. SAILER ee- Ah, here we are! The most renowned reformer of the class. Anna always had the tendency to change peo- ple's dispositions. But, when it hit home, presto! Anna is a great athlete, and is quite wild about-Football. Anna always had -est great desire to become a dentist. or rather a dentist's iassistant, but thru some trick Of fate it appears she has abandoned that thought, and now we are a. wee hit afraid that she will take up Household liconoiniesf' Bravo! Good lurk to you, Anna. EMILY SCHAEFFER Anna, can you do your Lit? Yes, that's Emily parad- ing' down the center aisle. liniily has that irresistible personality that makes us all love her. She is good natured and always ready to help some poor thinker in ' distress. Emily is very partial to the idea that all schools should be hold in the evenings. 33 ' CATHERINE SCHEFFLER This fair young lady has gone through the regular four years of the High School course. Cutliurine docs not believe in taxing' hur poor brains with study to il glfilt cxtent. CATHERINE SCHMECK Speedway Park does not interest Catharine anyinorcg her latest interest is in Norwalk cars. It may not be the car so niuch as the person who runs it. Czltharine in- tends to be a school inarxn. 1 i l l LAURA SEIBERT lVell, if it isn't Sleepy: now I know we will have some fun. Sleepy certainly can chatter, but one of het the Coupes. . ALICE SHELTON Alice is not one of the girls who would meekly take your word for anything. Sho has ideas all hor OXVII, and is very fond of-zwguing. lf you try hurcl enough to win your point, you will hziyc il SLIGHT chance of success. i MARY JANE SHENK jane, we are told, is an old-fashioned name, Given to girls with curls: Mary Jane Shenk is the girl with the name And once was the girl with the curls. 3-1 greatest ambitions is flirting. She likes Fords, especially . . RUTH SNYDER Telegraph, telephone, and tell Ruth, and the world knows it. Ruth should really get a position with a news- paper. She is Kid News personilied. She can be seen in the lunch room going from table to table, getting points on the latest scandals. BLANCHE SPAAR Blanche is one of the tall, stately girls of our class. XVe often wonder who the tall person was who brought Blanche home in a car, from a certain dance. Xvhy won't she tell? EVELYN SPOHN Evelyn is another quiet girl. You hardly ever see or hear Evelyn talking and never do you have a chance to see her have her name taken. She is not always like that, I can assure you. Her spirit is aroused as readily as anybody elses Evelyn has a great many friends, but we are not saying' what kind.f?j . ANNA STOCKER 'lLatin? Ask Anna, she knows! Not only in Latin, but other subjects as well, she knows the why and wherefore the what and when and how. She's not one of the girls who always has a book in her hand, but there's very little she docsn't know. Nearly every evening' you can Iind her at a dance, but the next day she proves she does not let pleasure interfere with study. ETHYL, STOUT Ladies and Gentlemen: Step back and gaze with rapt attention at the picture before your eyes. Xvhoa, there! don't crowd too close. This is Ethyl, or Little Sparks. lf it were not for Ruby and Ethyl, certain pleasure re- sorts would be bankrupt. Ethyl is a girl of the flapper variety. In your dreams imagine Ethyl twenty years from now, adjusting her spcrtacles and saying, The class will now resume its work. 35 EMILY SWOYER Here is the little miss of our class. XVhenever you see Emily about, she is talking about music. Xlfell, no wonder, her lingers glide over the keys as if by magic. limily intends to be a music teacher and we all wish her the best of luck. OLIVIA WAGNER i Days may come! and Days may go! But Olivia re- mains as ever! That is our Ulivia! Unchangeable, un- coneerned and always the same. She is staunch and de- pendable. Her dark eyes conceal deep secrets through which not even her renowned class of '23 Feb. can pene- trate. MARY WEIGLE Scene l4.Xnnouncing Miss Chile Bean of our class, lf'lll d.etator of liarisienne fz shions-correct name Mary lilizaheth XXX-igle. This young lady's picture, as you will notice, is not what you would rall good. The reason for this is, the photographer had to stand on a step ladder and in doing so lost his equilibrium. You can picture our Mary about six years from the present date, exhibit- ing the latest in select wraps for women. It seems her ideal is to become a model. LILY WENTZEL Lily professes to hate powder puffs, but ask her why she used one at the Colonial not so long ago. LORETTA WINTERBERGER Loretta hails from Neu'a1'k. She a Very good stu- dent when she studies, but some evenings she goes away and forgets to study. Qili RUTH YOUNG Another dab of powder and she is tinished. Do I look all right? is the next question. Ruth is xjery fond of ear-rings and she is one of the many nf our ulass who likes to danre to the jazzy measure. i A DOROTHEA GZILLHARDT lVhat a lofty wave of the hand! Are those stones behind her the stepping stones to success? lVe hope so. A SONG I Into everyonels life comes a parting, we find, Xyhen old ties are broken a.nd no longer bind The friends 'and Companions of school days gone by, XVhile deep in our hearts only memories lie. But, dear class1na.tes of nineteen twenty three June, VVe a.ll will acknowledge that t'was a great boon To have known all the teachers so helpful and wise, And we thank them and wish them reluctant good-byes. CHORUS Wfhen we bid adieu to good old G. H. S. In our memories you'll linger long, . For the good times we've had, not to mention the sad In our minds are kept fresh by this song. Q II , It seems long' ago, but t'was only four years XVhen we entered these halls with high hopes and few fears Of what would befall us and how t'would all end, And now in the world we must for ourselves fend. So, classmates ,although our paths may diverge, Into one common end we should all try to merge, Our wish is to strive for the best and no less, XV hen we bid adieu to gold old G. H. S. . 37.

Alas! like stars, some outshine their friends, But our dullness with their brightness blends As do the stars of dawn with those of night, Or the pale old rose with the silver so bright. Chorus: - Farewell! is all that We Can say, But it is said in such a Way That it means we'd like to stay. Good-bye! says the class of June '235 But now we are sorry that we're free, For will we see our school any more After we leave the shade of her door? Then! thanks to our faculty, so dear- Lack of knowledge we need not fear. And still, like stars, we'll shine thro' the world KVith the pale old rose and the silver unfurled.

She's a good sport with lots of pep, and always ready for lots of fun. Some day we will hear of a learned teacher of languages-who, lo and be- hold, will be our bob-headed Elizabeth. ' MARY ALLGAIER Mary is the eurly head of the Class and her piuk cheeks are the envy ol' all the girls. lu the lunch rouiu a very good pianist and she vanuot be lwat when it voines to jazz. I RUTH AMOLE Der Fred Sagt, Horich Axnole boawa. This leads us to believe that Ruth's surname means once, To know her once is to love her always. Ruth is also fond , of tailors but I do believe it is spelled slightly differ- ently, probably Taylor. There are many mistakes made dailyg perhaps, this is one -of them. ELIZABETH BALMER Elizabeth always has something' on her mind. She always knows something' about everything, Or nothing about sometliing. Elizabeth is a good scout with plenty of class spirit. 'NVQ are sure Elizabeth will look fine in a 1lll1'S0,S uniform, besides being a good nurse. Imagine her beside some young busy doctor. RUTH BAUM Ladies and Gentlemen, you have now one of the greatest opportunities of your life, to behold one of the infant members of the class. She is no other than our dear little Chick, Ruth is a bright scholar and just loves to go to church. The sermons f?j are so interest- ing. She is greatly interested in a certain member of the opposite sex who bears the adorable name of -. All right, Chick, we won't say any more. Au revoirf' H 42 Here is one of our star students, hut don't get the MARY C. BOMBERGER Here we have the quietest girl in the class. If Mary is seen, she is not heard. XVhenever a conversation is going on, Mary does not utter a sound, but she takes it all in. However, Mary is very studious. She will not let the night pass without studying each lesson perfectly. Mary also shows great skill and tact in the art of draw- ing. l ALBERTA BORN' Alberta is very quiet? in school, but outside of school she is quite different. Borny is often seen at Hampden Park practicing tennis. Keep' it up, Alberta, you'll be a second Suzanne some day. XVe wonder why Bertv likes number 20. JULIA BOYER Here's one of our class gyninasts. She is fond of all kinds of sports including tennis, football, basketball and ice skating. She just loves to go to dances and parties and is heard usually talking about the night before. She is admired by everyone she ineets as you would judge if you ever happened to be with her on her wav to school. XVe wonder why julia likes tho time to Virginia Blues. XVe think we know but alas! we cannot speak. 1 DOROTHY QDOTD BRIGHTBILL This is another of our bobbed hair beauties. Dot has great ambitions. She is going to New York to study gymnastics and dancing and then teach in some school or college. She claims to be a nian-hater, but we know better. Nevertheless, Dot, we wish you luck. I V CORA BROOKS I-lere's our hotany shark. She is a great lover of nature and some of her trips for this purpose carry her long distances. She is very interested in a certain species at Norristown. NVQ will not give her away but we all know Ducky is not what she used to be. 43 SARAH BUSH Sarah, capable Sarah, can do anything-cook, sew, swim, dive, ride, and even draw. She plays anything from a piano to a ten cent life. And jokes-my! how she can tell them when she feels like it! But alas those days are over. She has changed. Seriously tho, our Sarah has high ambitions, for she is going to Kutztown to learn to be a country school marm. XVe know she will he a success. Ask Sarah when the next hoedown will be. Tweet, tweet. JANET BYRNE Bifl! Bang! Crash! No, dear readers, this is not a B Class meeting, but janet racing along at live miles per hour in her Franklyn car. She is a great enthusiast and is often heard talking ot' certain things and certain peo- ple with great enthusiasm, one person in particular. Her greatest ambition is to pass her time with dumb-bells. XVell, go to it, for we all wish you the best of luck with your gym work. ELVA E. CARPENTER Yes, this is our hohhed-haired lilva, who dislikes to bc called a clowng but that xye'll let up to you. She is most dramatic and possesses an artistic tempe1'ainent, so we advise her to go on the stage. Her portrayal of in- nocence, when she's been caught chattering, is so true that even the teachers sometimes think their ears and eyes have deceived them. Elva, what on earth is so funny about Physical Geog. that you're always convulsed in tits of laughter during Lab? A MARY CARPENTER Behold, the bright and shining star of '23 june. She is the only one who has received three scholarship medals and she is working hard for the fourth. Her great desire is to go to school and increase her mental ability. XVc know she will make a success in life because every thing she attempts turns out well. 1 SARAH DEEM One of our studious girls as can be seen at the Hrst glance at her likeness. But don't let looks mislead you. Sarah did study hard the lirst two years, but the last two have been filled with so many other things, that she has not very much time to burn the midnight oil. Besides she has to save it for Sunday nightsj Never mind, we won't give you away. 44 RUTH ENGLE This is one of our quiet girls. She is never in trou- ble. Her only fault is that she cannot master niathemai tices. Never mind, you'll get through. She is going to XV. C. S. N. S. to complete her education, and then try to put some of it into some poor little innocent crea- tures head. XYe wish you luck, Ruth. N R MARGUERITE FINK This is the great lover of our class XVe must make sure you don't niisjudge her, because it is only of the teachers. She always has a crush on one of them. XVho is it this year, Finky? Thus far we have been unable to find out. XVe wonder what you are going to do when you leave school? H s RUTH Y. FISHER Tee! Hee! Heel Every time you hear that giggle, you may be sure it's Fisher. She always has a smile on her face and she seems to get a lot of joy out of life. Ruth is a very good student and divides her time be- tween school and 1-. Oh, you know how 'tis. MARGARET FIX If any one wants to know the tune to a late song oi dance hit, ask Margaret and she will hum it for you. XVL all wonder why Margaret likes to go automobiling every Sunday? Nuff said! DOROTHY FLINCHBAUGH ' Hello, Dot. This can be heard all along XVash- ington street when she hustles to school at the last minute. Dot is very fond of sports such as basketball and football and we may not forget track. Her greatest indoor sport is letter-writing and every other dav She can he seen rushing to the 'Post OITTCC. XVe'll tell the secret F. 8: M. is the center of attraction. NVe wonder why Dot likes Studebakers so much. 45 STELLA FUNK In class she is so quiet and 1J1'QOCCLl1jlCCl that we feel her real interests are entirely outside of school, which may he true because of the fact that she takes a weekly visit to the Countryg and you may rest assured that it isnlt because she needs the fresh air. Stella is fond of pretty names, hut her favorite is lilton. XVe wonder why. h Hazel's ambitions are inuch to her credit, , , ., . , . , I If she chooses the former, she ne'er will regret lt, RUTH'HECK Ruth is very quiet fstill water runs deep, thoj.

Kitty! She worries a great deal, but we d0n't think it is serious. She may overtax her strength running the car, but hardly, since there is usually some one with her. Motoring does not take up all of her time because she is very fond of dancing. Doesn't she look studious? ? ? e a very patient one. Bookkeeping is her favorite study. She will tell you GRACE HEFFELFINGER Round and rosy, Everything cozy, That's what Grace likes. 46 -- well, we had hotter not say. J ' ANNA HOUSER Dear old Ann. She surely has ambition-especially in tho lunch room. As for ability, Ann has it when it comes to talking. lVe believe too, that she is fond of hiking on certain days. She is ycry mysterious about CLARICE HUMMEL Clarioe is so very quiet in school that we have noth- ing but good to say about her. KATHRYN HUNSBERGER Kathryn is our sixth period messenger. Every day she ran he seen rushing through the halls trying to get the notes out in time. She has held this position for almost three years. XVC don't know what Kathryn will do when she leaves school, but we think it would ho prolitable for her to he some one's messenger. CONSTANC-E HYNE MAN Betty is quiet in school, hut outside she is always ready for a good time. She likes haskethall games and dances. Some day sho is going to he a wonderful pian- ist, and we all know she will be successful. MARIE Josr A Always ready for a good time. She is fond of in- door sports such as studying UD Marie is especially fond of Bobs. No, we won't tell any more. l 47 V CHARLOTTE KERR Charlotte, another of our bob-haired, blue eyed school mates! She has a smile for every one she meets, and dear me, we are not saying anything but we wonder what relations flth and Court and a red sweater have in relation to her dismissal. EMILY KINSEY Here is the good sport of the class. She loves swim- ming, dancing, and EATING. She is greatly interested in all her studies. for day after day she takes home with her a book-her pocketbook. HELEN KISSLING livery class' must havt its tot dancti This 0 you see before you is the dancer of '23 June. Helen would like to go on the stage, and we are sure she would make a wonderful success behind the footlights. Even if her many admirers keep her out late at night, Helen is always sure to have her lessons for the next dav. How MARY LOUISE KLINE Mary, Mary, what book is that you are reading? She may be seen carrying one around about 12 inches by 10 inches. Perhaps it is one on palmistry, because that is one of her line arts. Here's wishing her the best of luck. docs she do it? i M LORRAINE M KNOLL L'luu'kle! Chuckie! Here she comes. the blonde vamp of the class. Lorraine is noted for her eye lashes, and well, never mind, Lorraine, we won'L give you away. Lor- raine's two greatest ambitions are: to soothe the fevered brow of some handsome patient, and earn enough money to visit Hollywood to see if Rudolph Valentino is as good- looking as he ZlDlJl'2ll'S. lVell, l.orraine, go to it, y0Ll,l'C bound to do well as a nurse. 48 , i FANNIE KOZLOFF Fannie always shines in Literature class. XVhen some problem is brought up in Macbeth, she is always ready to answer it. However, Fannie doesn't seem to be pining away from the elfects of hard study. I sup- pose this fact can be attributed to the recreation she takes outside of school. Her motto is t'Speak when spoken to. ORTRUD KUNTZE Our ambitious' college student just loves to study. She also likes to have good times, too ller chief amuse- ment is horse-haek-riding and day-dreaming. XVe link the two together because we know her dreams are of her good times when out for this particular sport. RUTH LAUB XVhy who's this? Oh! yes! It's our own dear little Ruth, and she's just as quiet as she looks??? In spite of the fact that Ruth is dismissed at a quarter-to-two, she knows as much as you and I do, especially in Stenog- raphy, for in this class she,is amazing. That's all right, dear, we know you are a. minister's daughter. N . i ANNA M. LEINBACH Here is Anna. our studous girl. XX-'hy she carries all her books home we cannot fathom. XVe don't know whether she studies or just takes them to make us think she does. Neyer mind, Anna, A friend in need is a riend indeed.' ELISABETH LEVAN l'Iere's our little music teacher. She is often seen in the vicinity of XVyonxissing. XVe wonder why? Al- tho she says she too is one of our man-haters, we don't see why she is so fond of such: enjoyments as dancing, tennis and hiking. y -19 f IRM.A LUTZ Irma, now 1et's see. Oh! Yes! 'This is the girl who becomes very nervous in Stenography class. I wonder why. Is it because she is afraid that she will skip over a word, or afraid that she will speak aloud what she is thinking. Neyer mind, Irma, we know those beautiful eyes of yours aren't always covered with spectacles. S LUCY MANZOLILLO Q Everyone knows Lucy and her trained spit curl. She says it is Palm-Olive trained. Lucy is musically inclined and her chief delight is paraphrasing Macbeth???? But she is a sincere friend even if she is caught powdering her nose. fHere's a secret, girlsg she'd give you the last gram of powder she has.J - That's the kind of a friend to have. DOROTHY MARSHELL Take a good look at her, the future history teacher of our children. She claims she wants to be an old maid. Dot surely is mysterious. lVe wonder why she takes ex- ercises in the solitary confines of her bedroom before re- tiring. XVell, don't worry, Dorothy will be taken care of at Kutztown, for we're sending Sara to see to that. MARGARET MATTERN Here she is. the other baby of our class! The fun- niest thing about Peg, she always begins reciting before she rises and sits down before she is through. That is not her only fault, for there is Stony Creek, too. GRACE MAUGER lt's a shame we don't haxe 1 colored picture to show the beautiful shade of Gract-'s hair. VVe wonder why Grace never had her hair bobbed. She likes Bobs so much. Grace had a growing tendency toward machines but she hasn't decided which one she likes the best. We thing she'll choose the Ford, because it can stand the try to California better than any other. bil LILLIAN MERTZ Clop! Clop! Clop! just Mertzie on her horse. She is trying' to reduce. Does she eat??? Ask the girls who lunch with her. lVhen you ride with her in her Hudson Lillian passes milestones and asks, XVhat cemetery was that? Excuse my dust is another expression she use quite frequently. LENORE MILLER Lenore is yery quiet and studious. livery night you can see her with zz pile of books under her arm all ready for a good night's work. She is also on our scholarship list. lVe all know she deserves it, because her lessons are always perfect. Nora is our chief soloist and never misses a week from practice. XVO wish all the good luck to our missionary. HELEN MOLL This is another studious member of the class. She is also E1 man-hater. XVC mention this because we think it is so odd. Don't worry, Helen, you aren't the only one. MISSOURI MUSSER JENNIE MOYER The tall and stately lassio whom you see here is none other than Jennie. Although she is big' in body, we never hear much from her. But the old saying that good things come only in small packages does not hold good in her CQISC. She is large, but also good. lat L natty llllllti Yes, we all agree with you and we may add she is just as sweet as her name. XVe wonder why Missouri likes class meetings so much? She gets quite excited over them. Neyer mind, Missouri, you 1nay be able to argue eases in court some time and the experience will do you good. 51 PEARL NAFTZINGER . Since we are mentioning all studious girls, we must add Pearl. But in spite of being studious, she has time to be interested in l. Oh well! Pearl, by the way, wasn't it that person who took your snapshot for the Year Book? HELEN NEIDER Very sweet and agreeable, easy to get along with and always ready for a good time. She is a great basket- ball fan and is usually found wherever there is a little excitement. ROSE OAKS Rus! Oh that's only Rose's nickname. But then she does know a Rus. Rose is wild about house parties, es- pecially at Philadelphia, and all the people there. She can he heard raving for weeks afterward. HILDA PABST Oh! XYhon will she cease to burn the midnight oil? Although this must have been tiring, the results have cer- tainly been most satisfaftory because she rarely misses a recitation. Hilda is a very good student in languages. If she should ever go abroad, she would never need to use the language ol' the deal' and dumb. Good luck to our future lawyer. i CAROLINE PFLUGFELDER just take your time, folks, and don't get excited. back riding. Now and then she is caught in day-dreams in Literature class. VVe wonder why? 'We are sure that Macbeth does not tire her. Yes, she does look mild, but you know We can't judge from looks. 52 This is just our example of a good all around sport. Car- oline can do anything from telling stories up to harse- AGNES BELLE QUINTER Marvelous, exquisite, beautiful-these are only a few of the many superlatives on every boy's lips when this young lady approaches them. Belle's gift of a sunny disposition and good nature help to make her one of the niost popular girls in the class. She is a regular church nieniber which may be due to the act that she has zi strong faith in Christians Belle is a good sport and we hid her good-bye, wishing her all sorts ol' luck. SARAH REBER Tall, slim, but good-natured. Sara likes Bobs. XYhy does Sara like Domestic Science class? She wants to be zi missionary and she wants to go to China. Anna Houser is her side partner, so Anna must trot along. ller chief oeeupation is day-dreaming and writing stories. LUCEILLE REIGNER The wonder of Lucille is her head. The inside is hlled with knowledge and the outside is covered with the prettiest ilaxen curls which add to her crowning glory. XVe have nothing more to say about her because we never hear anything of her. ELLEN LOUISA REINHART Spectators, here we have another novelty to oller you. Ellen is one of the quiet members of this illus- trious class. After extensive explorations into the re- gions of Ellenls heart we have been unable to discover any weakness for the opposite sex. But, they all flop sooner or later. Ellen is very studious and we are sure she will make a great success in life. Ellen wishes to become a stenographer and we all wish her the best of luck. MILDRED RENNINGER Sweet and petite, loved hy all. Mildred always knows her lessons. She seenis especially interested in Botany. But then I suppose that is because she is at lover of nu- ture and just loves the country and some people in it. 53 l Where's my mirror? Do I i HELEN RIEGNER l'lere's a girl who always knows her Lit.

XVe Wish her all the success in the world. 54 , Q- l l LUDORA RUTH Ludora is bound to get through with the least amount of words possible, turbance it causes. She is trious members of this class.

Nuff said. l believe change. lt happens so rarely BEATRICE E. SMITH Gentle readers, rest your gaze upon our latest fashion plate. Yes, it's Beatrice, our dear classmate. You will know her by her knickerboekers sticking out. On Mon- day nights we can usually iind her dancing with either Lester, Harry or perhaps Clem. Beatrice has not de cided what she wants to be-an actress or a stenographer, but in either case we wish her success. EDNA HENRIETTA SOLLENBERGER Gentle readers, gaze, east your eyes on the accom- panying photograph and have the pleasure of seeing the most confirmed man-hater of the class. Despite her handsome and winning ways, and the fact that the op- posite sex cast loving smiles on he1', she has not changed. But never mind, they all fall sooner or later. Iidna's fa- vorite pastime is the movies. She is in a movie eight days out of every week. Her ambition is to become a stenographer, and we sure wish her success. ' SUE HIESTER STEINROCK Just look what we have here. No, not a sideshow, but one ol' the best looking members of our class. Su- sie enjoys dancing, and you can often see her with her numerous friends. Susie has a winning smile, which has won her many friends. XVe believe Sue could accomplish anything if she studied long enough. She will either be a stenographer or get married. ln either case we wish - her the best of luck. l KATHARINE ELLEN STOCKER Step this way, ladies and gentlemen, and see the greatest curiosity of the age. Do not be alarmed: it is only our little Katharine. Kitty's favorite sports are, playing the piano, dancing, parading Penn Street, and powdering her noseg but did you get a peek of her at the Fair? One would have thought she didn't eat for a month. If it wasn't hot dogs and ice cream, why it was ice cream and hot dogs. But never mind, Kitty, lucky for von, there are Fairs, for then you get a square meal once a. year and also a tine time looking around the fair grounds for a Certain-in an automobile. Katherine ex- pects to be a stenographer and we will say, Go to it. KATHXRYN STOUDT Friends, when you see a girl who appears to he asleep, know that you are looking upon the physiognomy of Kathryn Stoudt. llcr favorite expression is I clon't see how that could he. XVe are not sure of the name of hel' new allinitv, but we do know she just adores Mac- beth??? She wants to teach, too. Good-bye, and good . luck, Kitty. EVELYN STRAWBRIDGE Evelyn can always be found smiling, although her one regret is that she doesn't have auburn hair. She envies all people with auburn hair. Evelyn has pretty red cheeks which are due to the fact that she lives in the country, and has to run to catch that Birdsboro car every morning. , 543 DOROTHY STURM Dot is just Dot, and that's all. She is the right girl in the right place and always ready to please and give a helping hand to anyone. NYC wonder why it takes her so long to figure out the Bills in bookkeeping class. There is only one fault which can he found with her and that is, she just loves to argue with our friend Evelyn Strawbridge. CATHARIN E STRUNK b llere's Strunky with her niannish voice.

This one lock isalways straight. l DOROTHY SWOYER Dot is very studious. She is also one of our hon- ored scholarship girls. She is very fond of reading and when conversing with her you are sure to hear what the last hook was about that she read.

She is well known as well as very, very popular. ln fact, it has been whispered that her popularity ex- tends as far as Penn State, maybe farther. One some- times hears her rave, in her deep basso, about the won- t derful moon in Colorado, but we honestly believe tha she would spend all lier life in Mount Gretna if it were not for her home ties . Knowing all this, who can doubt that our Catherine is a popular girl? ' r one of the quietest members lsie never has very much to 1.

Seltzer VVho does not remember the story of Alice in XVonderland ? Did it ever occur to you that, if it had not been for this same Alice, it is probable that today we would know nothing about roast pig? And a favorite dish of many nations would be eliminated from many a table. And now, having acknowledged this world-wide debt to Alice, I will try to explain just how this obligation came upon us. In the first place, we must review a small portion of Alice's history. Let us look upon her when she was in the palace of the Duchess. You will remember that the Duchess had given her infant to Alice to hold for her for a few minutes. Miraculous as it may seem, Alice suddenly found herself in a forest, still holding the child in her arms. She wandered about for a little while without looking at it, 'but when she did look at it at last, to her horror and amazement, it had turned into a little pig. She put it down at once and it ran into the forest and that was the last we heard of it. For many years it was a deep dark secret just what the pig did after that. No one followed it unfortunately, and its history seemed to end. About a hundred years later a camping party went into those very woods and pitched their tents not far from the spot where Alice and the pig had been. Scouting around preparing for a fire, they came to a little low shack. Entirely surrounding it was a large enclosed yard. This was filled with pigs,-about two hundred of all kinds and colors. The campers moved by a great curiosity Cas there were many women in the partyl approached the door and knocked upon it. After an interval of five minutes the door was opened by an old man. He had long white hair and a beard hanging to his knees. 'His clothes were in rags. A glance into the inside of the shack revealed a bare table and five or six large locked chests-nothing more. Before the campers could collect their wits, he began to speak: You have come, he said, at the right time. I have lived in these woods for one hundred and fifty years. I have discovered a great secret and now I wish to tell some one about it. One hundred years ago, while I was hunting berries over in those bushes, I was attracted by a strange sound, back near my cabin. Hastening here I saw a queer sight. I had a bonfire burning out before my door, and upon examination I saw a moving thing in the fire. It soon stopped moving and, pulling it out of the ashes, I discovered it to be a pig. It had been alive when I heard it first, but now it was en- tirely roasted. I had not found any berries and being rather much of an adventurer, I decided to taste the roast pig. I found it decidedly good, and immediately built this yard you see and filled it with live pigs. These I fattened, killed, roasted and sold as food in the neighboring vil- lage, not telling anyone that the meat 'was pig meat. The meat sold'at a high price, and I have become exceedingly wealthy. You see these chests? They are filled with gold. I have been carrying on this business for one hundred years and now I desire to die. My money belongs to any one who finds it. As for my secret, tell it, use it, scatter it abroad. The world will be glad to know it. Then he disappeared from sight. The campers found and took possession of the money. As for the original pig, who can doubt that it was Alice's pig? NVho has authority to doubt that it was Alice's pig? As for me, I shall always be sure it was Alice's pig. 63 ' I I I i ' t ' IQ I Ii' ' 0 4 fd! I Crt iff' fr ' f .

He looks so helpless lying there on his back with his little mouth trying hard to hold a apple at least three times too big for it. But I'm awfully glad there is plenty of gravy for him to lie in, for you know how pigs just love to roll in mushy mixtures. Really, he is much prettier than he used to be, but I'm afraid he doesn't realize it. VV hy are there such pathetic wrinkles in his nose when he should be quite proud of being the center of attraction? VVe are all feasting our eyes upon his glistening brown coat and already feeling our teeth sinking into his tender white Hesh. Oh! No! I'm not! just imagine eating part of fat little Curly---- Indeed, I just can't. It's cruel, truly it's cruel, and I'd much rather see him waddling about with his body covered with dirt than lying there with his feet sticking straight up into the air-they might at least have stood him on his feet-and his tummy piled high with luscious apples.

Ortrud Kuntze '--Mi carissima nina Con alma hermosa Tu tienes todo de mi-- 3 Hush! And let us drift silently into this moonlit garden, lest we dis- turb the song of Ramon, vibrating with feeling, and the rapt thrilled at- tention of gentle Paquita. Ah! The song ceases, and we see the little seiorita lean over her tin balcony and drop a radiant flower into the hands of her lover. Immediately there dashes from the eyes of the youth such flashes of pride and joy that the girl, seeing them, laughs happily and re- treats from his sight, leaving him standing there straining to catch the last possible glimpse of her. And then, transported into the clouds! by the memory of her sweet face, he slowly leaves his trysting place. He is just a youth, a perfect personitication of a restless, daring caballero. To him women have always been sweet bits of joy, to be wooed, won, and cast aside. But Paquita, sweet, alluring and pure, has plucked a chord within him, as yet untouched. There are, perhaps, more beautiful wom- en, with darker hair and blacker eyes: yes, perhaps there are-but this Paquita of his has that which no other woman has-the power to stir the very depths of his heart. How he longs ,for her as his very own, and how his hands clench with jealousy as he thinks of the many suitors for the hand of Paquita. Now we see Ramon at a barred window, listening attentively to the sad news which Paquita is disclosing. VVith great tears welling in her heavy eyes, she tells him that her father, Senor Chiappi, has arranged a marriage 'between Don Felipe and herself. At the end of her tale she gives way completely to the weight of her sorrow. Poor Ramon! A thousand impulses immediately seize him. He will kill Don Felipe, he will ruin all who come between him and his Paquita, he will demand her from Senor Chiappi. He is about to go forth in search of his victims, when the heart-broken sobs of his loved one recall him from his fierce resolves, to the gentler efforts of calming Paquita. just as Ramon is formulating a plan to tell to Paquita, the clock strikes four, and the duenna comes and draws her away. But Ramon sees in her tragic glance the desire that he come as usual to his station beneath her balcony. The mellowy whiteness of the moon's rays casts a mantle of mystery and enchantment over the old Spanish garden. Instead of the sweet tones of the guitar, nothing is heard save the soft murmur of the lovers' voices as they plan-sh-! 'Tis a secret! . ' The marriage of Paquita and Felipe is to take place in just one week. In the home of the Chiappis great excitement-and commotion reigns, in preparation of the great event, for the successful suitor of Paquita has long been a source of much discussion. Her father is delighted because she seems to have suddenly become reconciled and even happy over the coming event. But lol 'What do we see one night at the stroke of twelve, but Pa- quita, poised on the edge of her balcony, ready to leap into the waiting arms of her lover. We are glad, so glad, that they can now be happy to- gether, when suddenly a chill creeps through our beings. For there, emerging from the shadows of a tree, with slow, ominous step, comes Don Felipe himself, accompanied by Senior Chiappi. The unfortunate Pa- quita sees them just in time, a.nd, casting a warning glance at Ramon, 4 s TRY ., .t .... ,, D E N ' S L , EE -1.5 W-' i enthol Music-Housn 1 CO LI Q h 21-23 I 1 ,..1 Noi-th8!L1 3 FINE PIABl0S A D p V0 5 as Ii Ut: Q Asn nnconns N ig d gig if 1 - 3 . .

IUEI IWS STREET 6 climbs back into her own little room, the witness of so many other hours of heartsick despair. Ramon says no word while Senior Chiappi delivers a iiery speech of insulted pride-no, no word, but into his eyes there creeps a look,-a look that causes even Senor Chiappi to halt his tongue and watch that mouth of Ramon grow coldly cruel and sinister as he slowly, draws his sword. Pointing it toward l'aquita's window, yet with his eyes still iixed upon Don Felipe, he forces out these heavy words: '!You shall iight for the right to call Paquita your bride! Poor Senor Chiappi-must he, the one time hero and famous duelist of Spain, stand there and see the man who is to marry his daughter prove himself a miserable dull coward? Por Dios, you Shall light! A coward shall not call himself my son-in-law! Cut down this upstart and let us be going. Don Felipe's hand rests on his sword-he is going to-but noi! It is over. He loves his life too well. XVith a confident smile at Senor Chiappi, he departs, saying- I shall probably hear from you shortly con- cerning Senorita Paquita? Buenas nochesf' Eamon watches Senor Chiappi's ashen pale face, as it slowly, very slowly, becomes flushed withi his hot shamed blood. Man, he says at last, you cannot know what this has meant to me. I despise a coward as the lowest thing on earth. I mistook-him--for a gentleman. Come within! .... VVe should have heard a curious discussion, as Ramon pleaded for the hand of Paquita, and Senor Chiappi just as determinedly refused to give up his daughter until Don Ramon should prove himself more than a good-for-nothing dreamer. He must have position and a well regulated home for his bride. At last Ramon realizes that he is neither ready nor worthy of Paquita, and so he asks a year of grace-in which time he will truly become worthy. Senor Chiappi agrees, and so, after a hurried word to Paquita and many promises of faithfulness on either side, Ramon takes his leave, not to be seen again ,til one year hence. Night, enchanted by the spell of the mellowy moon, reigns again over Paquita's gardengand on account of Ramon's expected return, Paquita and her duenna. are strolling about beneath the trees. At each tiny sound the girl's face becomes illuminated with hope, only to be saddened in a mo- ment. Perhaps he will not come back, perhaps his love was not strong enough! Oh! what agonizing thoughts whirl through her brain-when suddenly she hears that portion of Ramon's old song which she loved best- -- Mi carissima nina, Con alma hermosa, Tu tienes todo de mini- V Forgetting all Spanish decorum, Paquita ilies to him-But let us not spy upon them-let the shades of evening shut them from our sight as they hold their tirst meeting after twelve long months. VVhat joy! Oh, what joy to see Paquita and Ramon at last happy and assured of everlasting joy. Ramon is now a proud owner of a large ha- cienda in Southern Spain, and there he is to take his lovely-soon-to-be bride. Senor Chiappi is perfectly contented. Again a marriage ceremony is prepared for,-and what celebration and shouts of good wishes come from the people of Sevilla, who all love, honor and idolize the charming couple-Paquita and Ramon.

Reading, Pa, Branch Ofiice at S nk g Spring 3 A OUIJA WOOING Lorraine Knoll Of course, if Molly VVeston had not been absolutely certain that jim- my Holbrook was in dead earnest, she never would have helped him out with the ouija board, right under Aunt Henrietta's autocratic eye too- but then, that is too far ahead of the story. You see, it was this way. Ever since Molly's parents died ten years before leaving her, a lanky, big-eyed girl of sixteen, to the tender mer- cies of her fathers three sisters, she had been farmed out, so to speak, spending four months a year in regular turn with each aunt. They were all widowed, each one possessing in addition to a large income an inor- dinate pride of race, as well as a decidedly Roman nose. VVhile not exactly passing a gladsome existence, Molly was not real- ly unhappy. She was thoroughly if not fashionably schooled, dressed in plain, good clothes, given monthly pocket money and occasionally in- cluded on vacation trips-especially when it seemed more convenient for an aunt to travel without a maid. Her qualities as companion, pure and simple, were especially called into service while sojourning from January to May with Aunt Alicia Ter- williger, who lived in solitary state in the old family mansion on Madison Square. Here Molly was shut in with memories of the past since Aunt Alicia considered that exven a beauty laugh was unladylike and vulgar. The curtains at every window were always drawn, never an indiscreet ray of sun permitted to enter, and Aunt Alicia herself always went round shrouded in shawls with deep fringes. From May until September, Aunt Maria Turnbell gave Molly bed and board. Aunt Maria's environment was also anything but pleasant to an ordinary young woman. Living at the Turnbell menage was full of small duties that Molly more or less disliked. Each day Molly had to comb and brush the four spaniels and take them walking for an hour, two at a time. Then there was XVarco, the parrot, vicious and spoiled, the darling of Aunt Maria's heart, but detested heartily by Molly, the feeling being also reciprocated on his part. As Molly's aunt was delicate and subject to the gout, it was her pleasant duty to remain with the invalid when these attacks came on, and to sympathize with her. On other days, when the weather was fine and the gout better, Molly and her aunt made a tour of the parks in an ancient Victoria driven by a little dried-up apple of a coachman, who had been in the family for fifty years. The last but not least of the three aunts wa.s Aunt Henrietta Vand- meer who commanded Molly's services from September to the end of the year, and with whom this story has to deal. Molly liked living with Aunt Henrietta better than the others because Aunt Henrietta was by the way of being a society leader, partly for the love of the game, but more espec- ially because her only daugihter,-Molly's cousin Sylvia-had not yet ar- rived at the dignity of having Mrs, Somebody-or-other engraved on her cards. . While staying with this Aunt, Molly's task was to play a decent ac- companiment, should any guest wish to sing or perform upon any instru- ment, to help out at a game of bridge, or to entertain some dull week- ender who had to be included because his wife had been. Well, the story happens this way,-Molly's visit to the Vandmeers had been unusually pleasant and successful. She had met many people and her society seemed to have been enjoyd. However, none of the aunts had encouraged matrimony-since she was far too valuable for that. Be-' sides, Molly had not cared for any man in that way until Jimmy Holbrook appeared on the horizon. Of course he was out of the question, being the most eligible bachelor of the colony. Molly saw him often, to be sure, for 10 V American House Soda, Grill and Tea Room . . s AMMON FQ, KERSHNER ourth and Penn Streets, - - READING, PA For the Good of the HIGH SCI-IOQL ' F tok C. tl R L S ' and may it prepare them for the best there is in life The READIZVG EAGLE YGU FURNISI-I WELL TI-IE GIRL FURNISH J.. ..... .:::m!!:..,.:.- 3.37. , - ::, , ' 1 :EEL ness' :EEF ., ...... mx' ': H TI-IE HOME !

Readin ' 8 by pressing invitation of either Aunt Henrietta or Sylvia he was daily at their house. Auntie had set her eyes on Jimmy as being a lovely husband for Sylvia, and so he was most welcome at their home. Many a time it was Molly's delightful duty to entertain Sylvia's young man while the latter finished dressing, or more probably powder- ing her nose. She was invariably late at keeping an appointment, and so Jimmy formed the habit of coming a great deal earlier than was neces- sary. In this way Molly and Jim formed a friendship that lasted for some time. However, Molly would often get lonesome and would cultivate a little heartache when, at the appearance of Sylvia, jimmy would depart to dance and dine with the latter. Of course, Molly would try to tell her- self that he was lovely and nice to every women, that she did not mean anything to him, that she was silly and-a couple more things. However, one exceedingly heart-breaking day, Jimmy had taken a very long time in sa.ying good bye to her, before accompanying Sylvia to the club. After they departed, Molly curled upon the library sofa and yielded to a few tears, when suddenly the door opened and there stood Jimmy Holbrook. Your cousin left her parasol, he explained. Then seeing the tears Molly was trying to hide, Why, Molly dear, what's the trouble? He hastened to her with the sweetest look in his dark eyes, when, majestic as a yacht with all sails set, Aunt Henrietta entered the room. Well, of course after- that, Aunt Henrietta naturally saw'to it that Molly did not have to entertain Jimmy. The weeks wore away and ne'er a chance was there for Molly and Jimmy to be alone. Perhaps a clandes- tine opportunity might have been arranged, but neither wished to stoop to such methods. S The last of the year had arrived, and tomorrow Molly would be start- ing for Aunt Alicia and Madison Square. It was a snowy, stormy night, and Molly sat, all curled up, in a comfy deep chair, thinking. Sylvia had gone to bed with a toothache and Aunt Henrietta was playing her inevit- able game of bridge. In the midst of all tihis the door opened, leaving in a gust of cold air and Jimmy Holbrook himself. Having dutifully greeted the bridge players and inquired after the health of Miss Sylvia, he made for the comfy chair which held Molly. Aunt Henrietta at first looked on with great displeasure, but finally de- ciding that no harm could be done-since Molly left next day-she re- mained quiet. Molly and jimmy listlessly discussed golf, swimming, dancing, skee- ing, and other trivial subjects-since Aunt Henrietta was within ear shot. The conversation finally lagged, and depression gradually claimed both for its own. The stillness must have worked on Aunt's nerves, for she finally sug- guested that Molly get the ouija board and see what it had to say, This was accepted as a lovely suggestion and, drawing up chairs, both sat down with the board between them, and their hands lightly resting on the table. At first the table was quiet and then it ran hither and thither like one possessed. Wliy! It's, never acted like this before! Molly gasped at jim with surprise. Sh-sh he whispered with a wink to Ouija which present- ly began to write as follows Thank Heavens! XVe can talk at last! Right under your Aunt's nose, too! Ouija continued: Don't look so surprised, little Molly! You'll give the trick away. Wliat makes you seem S0 Sad tonight? .By now Molly had caught the trick and she replied: 'Tm sad because I must leave here tomorrow. 13 At that information Ouija fairly ran from letter to letter. Leave here? VVhy? Because it's Aunt Alicia's turn to take me in. Ouija replied, I can't bear to go to her house for four long months! You don't have to! was the jerky reply. Why not? What else can I do? Marry me instead, came the answer. VVhy should I marry you? demanded Molly, via Ouija. You know perfectly well that I love you, Molly. Don't tease, he rapped. Molly's fingers trembled but she managed to write, f'Yes, I'll marry you, Jimmy, cause I love you terribly. Darling! Ouija registered so fast Molly could scarcely keep track of the letters. Have you missed me heaps? I've been so lonely for you. Ouija translated for Molly, as quite by accident of course their lingers met and closed about each other. And just then Aunt Henrietta cast her gaze upon them, but what did that matter? -il- REPORT DAY Hilda Pabst VVhat dissappointment and happiness this day brings to the hearts of us high school girls! It is a great event in our young lives and for six weeks we live through various stages of feeling until at last the eventful day dawns. Six weeks before, we make solemn resolutions to work-oh so hard! -in order to make the honor roll in every subject on the next report day. If not quite an eighty-hve at least five or six points higher in every sub- ject. Our Latin, Physics, and Review Mathematics marks simply MUST come up many points. Then we dream and build castles in the air about the wonderful marks on our report cards on next report day. VVe work hard, almost to the point of killing ourselves while longing for the great day. Yet, somehow, no matter how hard we try, things will go wrong. And if, of a whole lesson, there are about seven lines we don't know per- fectly, we are just dead sure to be called on for that particular part. Yet we have hope, for life is made up of mistakes and successes. As the time for report day draws nearer, we are not quite so anxious for it after all. VVhat a person doesn't know won't hurt him, therefore, the longer time till the eventful day, the better. Off course the stars who expect ninety-eight or a hundred in every subject just LONG for it. One week before, we become somewhat curious and rather wish it would come, for the sooner it is over, the better. Then we speculate. Wha.t shall we get? Shall we pass everything? But still there is nothing like hope in the world. At last it is the night before. VVe are anxious for tomorrow, yet we hate to think of it. Our deportment marks could have been better, yet a bad beginning marks a good ending. a However, we manage to sleep and the next morning we are on our way at last, after running back to the house for the forgotten report card. Through the first forty minutes we tremble, until at the end of the per- iod we receive our report cards and then we are afraid to look what the fatal mark may be. Well, not so bad! At least an improvement over last month! Luck varies during the day. All in all, things could have been worse. At last the day is over and we go through the same varied feelings for six weeks until the next report day dawns once more. 14 if SUNSHI E and OTI-IELLG MELED RANGES The Quality Kind E -4 ,,,,,,,,,,,M,WWWwmwwNwNW W ',.,, A wise housekeeper is one who can diSCl'ill1iI1Kl.t6 -.

No silvery moon peeped out through the clouds to light us on our way. VVe, the class of '23 ll111e,,b'2' gan to feel the real Halloween atmosphere that lends itself to frolicking. VVe ivended our way along a country road, coming upon an old dilapi- dated house with no signs of life about it. The house was haunted, so We had been told, and this was where we had decided to have our evening's fun. As we entered a door at the front of the house, we were met. by a ghastly looking ghost, who greeted us with a hand shake. lSuch, a cold, wet, bony hand we had never before felt and we began to wonder if it were a real ghost or one made up for the occasion. As we passed by the ghost, we entered a. strange, small room, whose only light came from an open fire place. Everything seemed so weird. The very idea of a haunted house brought ghostly objects before us without our eyes seeing them, and we clutched each other in our fright. After warming ourselves before the fire we moved to the next room, Somewhat larger than the first. The decorations were startlingly appro- priate, and the coal oil lanterns helped to give a most picturesque appear- ance. Corn shocks were placed here and there with pumpkins near them. Crepe paper appeared in the dark corners. As we walked to and fro, something bumped against our heads. Wondering if it was a ghost try- ing to get revenge upon us for drowning the quietness of his thfome, we looked up. VVe found to our surprise that it was nothing but an apple on a string. Many of them hung from the ceiling. As we tried to protect our heads, by moving to a dark corner where there were no apples, we sud- denly found ourselves upon a ghost which had been stationed there. In our fright we lost our heads and ran from the ghost, only to come in col- lision with more apples. In this room we noted each other's costumes. How ludicrous were some, how odd and beautiful were others! Almost all the countries of the world were represented, as well as various types and classes of people. Helen Neider, in her black and white pierrette suit Won the prize for having the most charming costume.

The rarest attractions of all were the Chinese twins. Now Chinamen can be found at almost any Hal- lowe'en party, but Chinamen with red queues are uncommon and we cer- tainly were delighted to have such incomparable objects at our party. Next came the grand march. Two by two and then one by one we marched from the room. Up a flight of stairs, not more than one foot wide and leading to we knew not where, we went. How the stout young ladies ever got up those stairs only they cairtelll Once we were up, we wished we had stayed down. It was very dark and we were afraid to walk for fear we would fall through the holes in the floor. Nothing could be heard but the rattling of bones and screams and shrieks. Soft masses and icy, shining objects were thrust into' our hands. VVe Hung them from us, feeling sure that they were the bones and other parts of dead persons. The rattling of chains could be heard as we walked along, stumbling over what seemed to be animals and people. After a hard struggle, we at last reached the stairs and fairly Hew down them for fem-o we might be pulled back by someone or something. Coming back into the land of light we noticed .fortune-tellers. Of course we were all anxious to have our fortunes told, and in our futures we found almost all of us were to marry rich and handsome husbands, in- herit a lot of money, or strike a gold mine. Many tried to dance, but the house wa.s so small and the crowd so large, that few succeeded in doing it well. By this time our appetities were well sharpened. No party is com- plete without refreslunents and ours lacked nothing towards making it an ideal occasion. Farmerettes served us with cider, and it surely was good and sweet. A few pierots served us with candy chicken corn, while dutch maidens presented us with sandwiches, doughnuts and pretz-sticks. Ap- ples also were on the bill of fare. - By this time we were rather tired and seating ourselves on the floor in japanese fashion we listened to ghost stories which made the chills run up and down our backs and we snuggled closer to one another. It was now almost midnight and fearing that the spirits of the haunted house might begin to prowl around at that time, we decided to leave, as none of us cared to encounter any of them. And as we departed we, one and all, decided that a haunted house is an ideal place to hold a Hal- lowe'en party. 19 THE CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS AND BOOKS. NE 1923.

Wihen Xklilliam Penn died in 1718, he bequeathed this land to his children. During the fall oli 10748, Penn's two sons, Thomas and Richard, caused a town to be laid out by Nicholas Scnll, their surveyor general, on the land adjoining the Schuylkill river at the Nliordl' in the road that ex- tended from the Tulpehocken settlements to Philadelphia. It was named Reading after the county town in Berkshire, England. At that time there was not a town, not even a village, in the surround- ing territory for many miles. The nearest town was Lebanon, twenty- eight miles to the west. Penn's sons appointed Conrad Vlfeiser, Francis Parvin, and Vllilliam Hartley to sell lots. By a petition presented to the Assembly at Philadelphia on February el-, 1753, in behalf of the erection of a new county flierksl it appears that Reading then contained 130 dwell- ing houses, besides 'Forty-one stables and other out-houses. The early settlers ol' Berks county were Swedes, Germans, English, and Wielsh, and they came here in the order named. The Swedes came into this region about 1700 and 1701. They numbered about fifty persons. They were the iirst people to erect a building for religious worship in the county. Descendants of some of them are still in this region. The Germans, the next people to settle here, numbered more than the other nationalities taken together. ,, They were just what a new county needed to start it in the march of progress. They were economical, perse- vering, and added great wealth to the county. They, too, have many de- scendants living in this locality. The English came about 1720. The numerous English names given to the townships ea.st of the Schuylkill were suggested by them. Until the Revolution, they exerted the most exacting induence in directing political affairs in the county, but during the Revolution, the Germans ruled in political matters, and continued to do so after its close. The earliest Eng- lish families were the Boones, Ellises, Lees, and Lincolns. 1 The VVelsh ,the last settlers, had purchased from Penn in England a large tract of land aggregating 40,000 acres which was to be selected in Pennsylvania. Unlike the English and the Germans, they did not enter into political affairs. The earliest Vllelsh families were the Davises, livanses, Hughes, joneses, Lewises, Lloyds, Rettews, and Thomases. No less interesting than the tracing of its political development are the glimpses we get ol' the social life of the community. One of the forms of amusement ol' that time was a log-raising. XVhen a house or barn was to be built, the men and young men for several miles around came to offer 22 fx O Established ISS! Best Assortment JOHN F.

Another chance for social enjoyment was afforded by the apple-butter boilings when women sat in circles paring apples while the gossips told their stories, and the young people sang their sons, and here and there a pair of young lovers announced their engagement to their small circle of friends by joining hands in pushing the stirring pole. The corn-husking bees, with the privilege accorded each young man of kissing the girls whenever a red ear appeared, was greatly enjoyed by the young people. In the winter time, the older people had carpet rag and quilting parties, while the younger people enjoyed skating onthe river and other outdoor sports. In the matter of schools, the inhabitants of Reading displayed much earnestness, and education was encouraged from the beginning of its his- tory. It was carried on mostly in connection with the churches. The Reading' Academy was a prominent school for sixty years. The building stood on the southwest corner of Seventh and Chestnut Streets. The trus- tees sold it in 1838, and then erected another at Fourth and Court Streets, the present site of the Girls' High School. The education was limited, having been coniined mainly to spelling, reading, writing, and simple arithmetic. Each scholar was obliged to pay a tuition, generally several dollars a quarter. In some instances, scholars paid a cent a day, and this payment was made each day at the close of the session. The Common School system was adopted in Reading in 1836, and the iirst public school buildings were erected two years later. One of these four schools was located at Sixth and VValnut Streets. Under the provis- ions of the Act of 1864, the district was authorized to assess and collect taxes for school purposes. The management of the school affairs by the board since then has been successful. , Not only were the people interested in education, but they were deeply interested in religion. The first church in the locality of Berks County was Alsace Church, which was organized about 1740. To the Quakers belongs the honor of erecting the first house of worship in Read- ing. They organized a congregation and erected a small meeting-house in 1751. In 1752 the Lutherans erected a log church. The Reformed peo- ple followed next. They erected a little log church at XVashington and Reed Streets in 1755. Their second church was erected in 1761. The con- gregation was founded by Germans. Services were conducted in German from 1744 to 1842. ' ' Soon after the institution of the county in 1752, was held the first fair in Reading, the county seat of Berks. This custom resulted from the dedication of a large central area to public use by the founders of the town, the sons of Willialii Penn, which is known to this very day as Penn ' 25 v w w w w inf BME BM! im!

This large, open space was well adapted to the holding of sales and the exhibiting of products of the farm. As the court house stood in the centre of the square, the situation was an ideal one, inasmuch as farm- ers had but a few steps to go from their market sta.nds to the court house to transact such legal business as required their attention. These mark- ets, as they were first called, gave rise to the semi-annual fair days, when prizes were offered for the best products, and when bartering and ex- changing by farmers, merchants, and manufacturers took place on a large scale. ' , The first seini-annual fair was held in the market square in October, 1766, and this was followed by a spring fair in the first week in June, 1767. These spring and fall exhibitions usually continued for two days, and were considered the leading events of the year. Horses and colts were brought to the fair, and tests of their speed were made on the old Lancaster highway ,across the river. The fair was not without its festivities, and the presence of hundreds of country folk in the town led to dances and other frivolities held at the leading taverns or inns. Some of the gay scenes resulted in disorderly conduct on the part of those who indulged too freely in liquor, and light- ing would follow. Thus, the ea.rly fairs were not without their draw- backs. Generally, however, there were good results, and the people were benefited by them. Finally, .the market-place fairs of the county seat outgrew their use- fulness or became too disorderlyg then they were abandoned. From them grew the semi-weekly market which continued in Penn Square for almost one hundred years. In 1871 they were discontinued, and market 'houses were substituted for the open space on the square. Horse racing meanwhile became popular, and the Lancaster road was used for years as a race course. Then a track was constructed at the Three-Mile House, where races were continued for many years. The peo- ple had been educated to the advantages realizd in the holding of agri- cultural fairs. It was seen that agriculture and horticulture could be pro- moted thereby and that great advantage would be derived by the entire community. This thought led to public movement on the subject, and on january 13, 1852, the Berks County Agricultural and Horticultural So- ciety was organized. - The first fair thereafter was held August 17, 1852, in the parlors of Housum's Golden Swan Hotel, Fourth and Penn Streets Cnow the Ameri- can Housej. It consisted chiefly of the exhibition of cereals, vegetables, fruits and flowers. The second fair was held in October, 1853, when it partook more of the nature of a real agricultural exhibition, as there were races and a showing of agricultural implements and machinery, be- sides the usual display of farm products. The third fair took place in the spring of 1854, at the Military Garden, in the southern section of the city, between Fourth and Fifth Streets, south of Laurel Street. This was followed by a larger fair in the same year, at the -head of Penn Street, on the ground that had been known for years as the commons. The fairs continued there annually from the fall of 185-1 until the fall of 1887, when the site was surrendered to the City of Reading and became known. as Penn's Common, or public park. There were no fairs held during 1862, 1863 and 18644 on account of the Civil VVar, the fair ground having been turned over to the government for recruiting and hospital purposes. A In 1888 the Agricultural Society acquired new grounds on North Eleventh Street. The first fair in the new location was held in 1889. Sev- eral years later the Society was forced to disband because of loss by fire, bad weather, and poor receipts. The Society was then reorganized under the name of the Agricultural and Horticultural Association of Berks 27 - County. Fairs were held annually on the North Eleventh Street grounds until 19144. In 1915 the first fair took place on the present ground, under the re- organization of the Society, and they have been very successful ever since. VVitl1 ample capital and a handsome surplus, the future success of the Reading Fair is assured. The first business place in Reading was the store of Conrad VVeiser on Penn Street above Fifth. He purchased the lot in 1749 and obtained a patent in 1751 under the terms of sale. He doubtless erected a two-story stone building on it in 1750. He carried on business intercourse there with the Indians, and on this account the stand was given particular prominence. In 1769 Nicholas Keim became owner. The Keims occupied it as a general hardware store for seventy years. Then the Stichters be- gan, and they have been there since, now nearly eighty-five years. Une of the vanished landmarks of Reading was the old County jail which was situated on the northeast corner of what is now Fifth and Wfashington Streets. XVith respect to its antiquity and public use, the old jail, though it had long been regarded as an obstacle to progress, pos- sessed a large degree of historic interest. The first county prison was built in 1752 and is described as a hewn -log structure about twenty-five feet square erected on the rear of the lot. A more substantial prison became an almost immediate necessity and there is evidence that a second structure was built in 17511 on the front lot. The sheriff with his family occupied two apartments in the eastern end of the main building and kept his ofiice in a room in the western end. On the second floor, directly above, were the rooms in which the prison- ers were confined. There were no cells, and at such times as the jail was full, the prisoners were crowded into these apartments, men and women in close proximity to each other. One of the most interesting tales connected with the old jail is the story of Susanna Cox, who killed her child almost immediately after its birth and was the first woman prosceuted and hanged in the old jail. Her death aroused the sympathy of many of the inhabitants of Reading at that time. This historical landmark was demolished in 1910. The work of its removal was watched with. curious interest by the public as if they thought the very stones and timbers could tell the legends of crime and misery attached to its former occupants. Imagination lends a certain fascination to the contemplation of any ancient ruin. Particuarly is this the case where the structure has been associated with the tragic events of human life. The end recalls the beginning, and the secrets of the past ages seem to discover them- selves in the wreck of their environment. . wt W ' in First Public School, Sixth and Court I-louse. 1762-1840 Walnut Streets 28 .Q---ff 1 -- T it seete I W, y' l it ZIEGLER' CLEAN K MILK n IS GOOD at to begin with.

KISIVIET By Evelyn Wenrich, '23 June Oscar Trent was sitting in his den. Incense curled from bronze and turquoise-inlaid burnersg the air was heavy with the penetrating odor of sandal-wood. The crimson lacquered wa.lls were hung with rich silken tapestries embroidered with blazing gold and orange dragons. From this fanfare of color, one greenish gold serpent seemed to be a very Vesusius, with the amount of tire in the silken strands, which it vomited forth. Huge illuminated bowls hanging from the ceiling shed a mellow opaque light over the rich Persian carpet in which red and gold and peacock- blue were the predominating colors. A red la.cquer chest, bound with brass and queerly carved, was somehow indicative of Trent's character. It suggested all the mysterious, beautiful things that Trent rarely spoke of, but which seemed to have been so woven into his life as to have be- come a vital part of him. Sometimes his friends caught glimpses of a life as full of light and beauty and riotous color as this rich and gleam- ing bit of the Orient was. Trent's eyes wandered over each object, loved and intimately woven into the vast fanfare of his existence. Finally they came to rest on a red morocco-bound copy of his favorite book, which was lying just within reach on a small ebony stand. It was Oscar XVilde's INTENTIONS. He had first made its acquaintance in an atmosphere very different from this-at an old English mansion, his home, where it had ignominiously reposed on the lowest shelf in the darkest corner of the huge old library. Almost crowding it out of existence were PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, BEN HUR, PARADISE LOST, and an imposing leather, gilt-edged, set of Dickens. He had a great, almost filial respect for them, but to disregard INTENTIONS was preposterious! From then on, the book had ever been by his bed-side to cheer and encourage him. It gave him a tremendous interest in art, history and life! Trent put aside his cheroot, rose languidly from the pile of multi- colored pillows and put on street attire. Outside, Baltimore was buried in one of the heavy fogs which seem ever ready to descend upon the un- suspecting city and make it appear an even more dingy, time-worn and respectable shadow of past grandeur. He strolled listlessly along Charles Street, until, ascending the numerous steps which led past the fish-pond and recessed statue, he came to the supreme monument-that erected in honor of George XVashington. Here, the fog having lifted, the surpassing beauty of a skyline pierced by the slender spires of innu- 1nera.ble churches was impressed anew upon the artist soul within him. From the monument he turned to the left, and then up Cathedral' Street. He had no fixed purpose to escape the deadening, overpowering feeling of melancholy which inevitably overtook him on dreary days, when the sense of his uselessness and powerlessness was brought home to him with dull persistence, like rain. Gradually, as the fickle sky once more became a vivid blue, his mind cleared and he turned back, much refreshed. As he strode along, he gave but a casual glance to the houses, here and there interspersed with little shops. Suddenly the charm of a dusty, time-worn displav window, with its Duncan-Phyife, its Wfindsor, and its ladder-back chairs, its old Dutch desk, its pewter lamps and its andirons jumbled into a con- fused mass, arrested his attention. As his well-trained eyes roved over a walnut lowboy, a small candle-stick resting on it caught his attention. Its beauty made him wince! He recognized the plumage of a swan, its graceful neck upholding an emerald candle. Everything else faded into 30 By all means, see that the men folks of y0LlI' family buy fheil' furnishings at lsos nvl:ANEYl 6331564 Qm Q 6ES??EY6EIiEsg E w ENGEEE 516 Bingaman Street D JOBBERS E i Butter, Eggs and Cheese-T Distributors Blue Valley, Favorite, and Blue Ribbon Butter Manning CQ.

The opalescent glass was of that color best described by the homely simile, a half-sucked lime drop. l-le wanted passionately to own it! But he somehow sensed that if he did buy it and keep it always before him, he could not hope to keep even the semblance of mental and moral 'freedom which was then his. Even now his mental comfort had been dealt a severe blow by the vis- ion which the candle-stick conjured up before his eyes. The slender, curved throat of the swan suggested another throat full of enchantment and invitation, a bronze-hued throat that thrilled with liquid note of golden beauty, a throat he had yearned to feel against his shoulder. The pale green suggested a dazzling picture to his vivid imag- ination, fed by' recollections of a bitter-sweet past. I-Ie saw Lalie as he had first beheld her, enthroned on the back of a milky elephant, muiiled in a green cloak which glittered with spangles of gold and ropes of emer- alds. Then he remembered the sweet moment when she stood before him, a representative of the British government, and in her beautiful precise French entreated him to send the English troops out to save her people. Then throwing aside her cloak she had stood before him in a clinging gown of pale rose tissue, girt with a jade and emerald chain. She had been radiant, enchanting, and seduisante. Trent had been entranced by her sparkling wit and brilliant mind no less than by her personal charms. Then Lalie had been forced to leave her little principality and come to the gay Indian capital. ' Here her birth gave her entree and her unique personality and golden beauty made her the toast of the diplomatic cir- cle. Trent was often present at her salonl', where he was charmed by her graciousness and tact. Here also one inet the intellectuals and wits, petted and lionized by the lovely Princess Lalie. As Trent became more intimate with Lalie and saw more and more of her, he began to feel that only Lalie could do honor to the important position of Duchess of ---: Although, as the scion of a noble family he would have to choose his wife carefully, he knew that his love of Lalie was not hard and calculated, but real, true and line. Une day Trent had recognized a slim, girlish ligure stooping over a bedraggled little boy, whose very attitude expressed terror. It was in the native part of the city where everything was shabby. Not so the emotion of the poor little mite of a boy! Trent was too far from Lalie to see her face, but, knowing her fearlessness, he determined to not let her get out of sight. So it was that he came to See l.alie confront the slinking brute who was the boy's father. So it was that he had her grab the child and Hee up the narrow street with natives shouting and gesticu- lating in her wake. The next afternoon Lalie told him simply how she had iirst become interested in the beautiful, sad-eyed child, learned his. story, and determined to take him away from the father who abused him. Trent knew Lalie did not care for children, but she cared for anything with that helpless look of suffering in its poor eyes. Now she did not take the child into her home and make a great fuss over him, as a more sentimental woman would have done. Instead, she saw that he was well cared for elsewhere. ln this she proved her honesty to herself and her wisdom in seeing what was best for a poor child of the people',. Trent's respect for Lalie's character grew with this fresh proof of her courage, wisdom and honesty. In time he had asked Lalie to marry him and go with him to live in England. A cloud had pa.ssed over her bright eyes but she had an- swered simply, cruelly, 'fNon. C'est impossible! . Oh! he had known why it was impossible! Lalie was selfish and cruel! She preferred her po- Sition as queen of Indian society to that of an English noblewoman, She 33 ASK YOUR DECORATOR TO SHOW YOU OUR NEW SAMPLE BOOK FOR 1923 Ninn utaioturers Waii Paper Company Third and Greenwich Sts.

Still, she was somehow held to her native land with its minarets and mosques, its twilights and -sunrises, its sweet, heavy atmosphere of flowers and in- cense. She did not fear conventions but she resented them, in India she was free, free! She could pursue her gleam, happiness, momentary and Hitting, yet happiness! She was modern and very cruelg she had disre- garded the hurt look in his eyes. She loved him, oh yes! She had always loved him, but not so much as herself. Modernism, cruelty, and selfish- ness! Oh Lalie. So Trent, shunning home and friends, after leaving India, came to Baltimore. But Lalie was not to be so shunned-she was ever present in his dreams both day and night. Every day he saw her doing the little things that he would have so loved to share in. He even indulged him.- self with the thought that sometimes as Lalie sat with a long cigarette between her ruby lips, her dark eyes would gaze pensively through the misty smoke which curled upwards, and she would think of him-and re- gret? No, he could not hope for that! She would probably puff furiously at the cigarette, stamp it out beneath her dainty slipper, ring for her maid, and don a flimsy flame-hued garment to bid her guests welcome. But Trent knew that there was another side to Lalie, and that in the morning she would wear herself out discussing and rediscussing plans for the betterment of her people with tiresome, pompous dignitaries. This would soothe her conscience? As Trent knew that Lalie was doing these things, so she was. She was putting her heart and soul into her search for pleasure, only she called it happiness . She tried so hard to keep up to her 'fgleanf' that she wore her poor little body out, and even then she did not begin to re- gret happiness, Trent, and to renounce mere pleasure! I , wr wk wk Q Trent had secured the coveted talisman. For months he had de- murred, going over the pros and sons, but now the candle-stick was there on the lacquer chest. ' Look to the blowing Rose about us- LO D! Laughing, she says, Into the world I blow, At once the silken tassel of my Purse Tear, and its Treasure in the Garden throw, a weak, sweet little voice thrilled in the liquid sonance peculiar to the native tongue of India. Trent sat up in his low-eanopied bed and rubbed his eyes. The words ol' the song Lalie had loved. They had seemed to verify her existence. Her beauty and charm had been the Treasure and she had gladly given it to the Garden-her world. Could he believe it? A vision rose before him-Lalie, all rose and gold and pale green-her amber skin radiant and dusky eyes dewy. The song came again from an opalescent mist surrounding the place where the swan candle-stick had stood. But now, not a swan upholding an emerald candle, but a ,fairy-like Lalie captivated his glance, so it seemed. Her star-tipped wand beckoned, wavered and vanished. Now Trent felt sure that Lalie wanted him, in India. He decided that he would go to her. But in the morning a cablegram told him coldly, cruelly, that Lalie had fallen dead at the Great State Ball. There had been no word for him. He must always hope that it was because there had been no time -for even a word! Now he knew that a candle-stick would be all in all for him, as pleasure had been all in all for Lalie. Kismet! 35 THE ERUDITION OF A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL AS REGARDS EXTERNAL APPEARANCE Augusta H0ffmaSfe1' lNhen we made our grand entry into High School to begin our career, it really wasn't us, it was the way our mothers dressed us-or we might have been worse. Discussing us quite calmly and dispassionately, we were indeed quite hopeless and entirely lacking in that desirable quality style, lNe wore huge ribbon bows at the back of our craniums, beneath which hung a long tight-braided plait, as this wa.s before bobbed hair came into effect. Nevertheless, we were sweet, simple and girlish and so appealing that it was all we could do to keep from hugging one another. ' - NVith our many lessons, we did not have quite so much time as we could have used to study the prevailing fashions. Thus it was tha.t we never knew whether belts were being worn high or low, whether a dress three inches above our ankles was really too short, and whether we were or weren't too old for white stockings with black shoes. So our first year went on and we came ba.ck to begin our second. VVe always wore what we considered our cleverest dress, and we were always disappointed because everyone looked nicer than we did. If we had a sweater on, we always ended the day by wondering why we didn't have on something dainty and clinging. Then this second school year began, and one by one new dresses ap- peared. Yes, we girls had changed. Most of us were taller, and not quite so bumpy. Vile did not look quite so childish, and had at last learned that belts, for a time at least, were to be low. I must add that quite a number of the plaits were gone, and a f ew girls had blossomed out with strange protuberances at the ears,-they called them puffs , and instead of a plait, a tiny wisp ol' hair hung down. VVe used the juniors as models now, and noticed with growing con- cern that our wardrobes were inadequate. True, we had gotten a lot of new things, but they loked common- place to us now. Even so, we kept on trying, and on the whole, our per- sonal appearance was improved. But the third year. It was a revelation! At last we emerged, glowing as a butterily. Bobbed hair had come into its own! Wie had come into ours. VVe served as models for the Sophs. but that which counted most with us-we had learned how to dress. Styles were different, of course, but we had a working knowledge ol them now. No longer did we worry about them. Here is a word picture ol' one ol' us, beginning at the top and going to the bottom, and put down in the order in which the details came. I- Bobbed head- hair very nzuch frizzed. 2- Face- Gccrllccking or otherwise, with a small amount of powder on it. 3 Exceedingly brilliant sweater, often the handwurk of our own clever fingers. 4 - Fringed skirt. 5 -Sport shoes and stockings. That one description will serve for the whole class-pas juniors. Hut when we became Seniors all our carefully acquired style seemed lacking in something. For several months we sought in vain, but at last we realized what was missing. It was to look like what we weren't. 'l'hereal'ter we went around garbed ol' course in the latest of fashionls decrees, but always with a somewhat superior air to which our high posi- tion entitled us. XVe had, in a few words, achieved the art of making things look well. liy that I mean we improved our wearing apparel, not the wearing apparel us. Vile knew that the Juniors envied us, and we de- lighted in their envy. but they will never know that the whole secret rested in the supreme joy, and supreme poise and confidence that belongs only to-a Senior. 36 JAMES Cf PF IEF LY Dealer in W A L L P A P E1 R PAINTER AND DECQRATQR Estimates Furnished 1359 N.

Coblentz To welcome the class of 1923, February, your parents and friends and those who are officially identified with the schools ol' the city, is indeed a delight. You will be a blessing to us today, as we hope we may be of service to you. I ask you to think with me in the time in which it is given us to be together this morning on the theme The Fine Art of Living, taken from the Gospel according to St. john 17: 3, l'And this is the life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even jesus Christ. The word eternal is a term not of duration, but of valuation. Eter- nal does not mean mere continued existence, indefinite continuation, but supreme valuation. There is a dillerencc between destiny and destina- tion. Destination is the terminus-ad quem-the place at which you arrive. Destiny is the quality which you achieve. Eternal life is a destiny, not a destination. Man arrives at a destination, but he achieves a destiny. Eter- nal life does not mean arrival at a place that is desired. It means achiev- ing a quality that is supreme. This is eternal life-the life of supreme valuation-that we should know God aright and jesus whom I-le has sent.- There are various attitudes and estimations that we can place on life. XVe can play with it like a toy. XN7e can laugh at it as though it were a comedy, and take a synical position, like Lady Montague, who said: I am tired of laughing and I have made other people laugh until I hate them for making fools of themselves. Or we can exploit it and our powers if we will and bring it and ourselves to a burnt-out mass of ruin at the con- clusion. Or like Hamlet, caught in the toils of things, we can curse it and say: 'Tis an unweeded garden, things rank and gross possess it merely. Or, looking out on lilie like a Stoic, we can go at it with that steeled nerve and calm composure that results in resistance and defiance. Like Henley in his Invictus: Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. ln the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced or cried aloud, Beneath the bludgeonings of chance My .head is bloodied but unbowed. It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishment the scroll I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. I like that calm defiance that says, I am bigger than anything that can happen to me. But there is another and a better attitude. Iti is an honest etiort to know God aright. It is simple reverence and sincere con- fidence. It is expressed by Wfhittier thus: I know not where his realms may lift their Iironded palms in air I only know I cannot drift beyond his love and care. i So life can be a great adventure along with a constant companion. XYhen we look at it in the highest way, and it is that way which I 3,111 'IU 8 More Than a Store--A Great Centre of interest and an institution of Service It has been our pleasure to receive Z1 great number of eoinplirnentary expressions from friends and patrons as to the beauty of our new building.

Living can be not only a fine art, but the supreme fine art. VVe have long ago designated music, painting and sculpture as line arts. VVe asso- ciate with them certain qualities of mind and spirit. VVe consider them expressions of dignity, grace and power. VVe recognize them as rare ac- complishments, requiring native talent and unswerving devotion. In this estimation we are right. But have we recognized that real living is the finest of all fine arts, having about it more dignity and charm and requir- ing more zeal and devotion than any of the line arts. Before there can be any work of art there must be an artist. Before there can be a great composition there must be a great composer. Before a great painting, a great painter. Before a great oration, a great orator. There had to be a Vtlebster before there could be a Bunker Hill orationg there had to be a Raphael or Michael Angelo before ther could be The Sistine Madonna and The Last Judgment, there had to be a Stradivar- ius before there could be a Stradivarius violing there had to be a Lincoln before there could be a Gettysburg speechg there had to be a Jesus before there could be a Sermon on the Mount. The artist is greater than the art. The making of the artist is a finer art than any of his productions. lf it took a line delicate sense, a great massive idea and indefatigable energy to produce a work of art, what must it ha.ve taken to produce the mind, hand and heart that could produce such art? Before any art comes the artist, before any poduction comes the power to produce. Life is greater than a.nything life ha.s ever produced. If you call that man who takes a small portion of wood and by a skilled mind turns from this melodies that are entrancing, an artist, l ask you what must you call the man who takes the conglomerate that we call heredity a.nd environ- ment and human nature, and weaves it into something noble and supreme that stands in the hour of temptation and wins, that- stands before duty and dares, that stands before death and hopes? If you call the one an artist, by what name must you call the other? If you call that man that takes a group of amateurs and after years of training succeeds in interpreting a symphony, if you call him a master, by what name must we call those, whether it be parents with their families, teachers with their pupils, or statesmen with their fellowmen who take all these impulses, interest and aspirations and blend them into something that is socially harmonious, where-we can live in decent and safe relations with one another? By what name must we call such a one? He is one of the masters in that line art of living. If we call that man a genius who teaches mankind to span the sea with cables and weave a web of wire by which to light home and hamlet, then what is he who teaches man to span the earth with good will, who weaves a web of friendship that drives out the darkness of hate and war and fear and lets the world look up and say, Our Father, and streaks the sky with the glow of peace to which the sad world responds with a grand A:menf' VVhat is he? He is the Master of the fine art of living. There is an interesting relationship between art of living in my judgment. If real life means then real education is a part of this fine art. It is ideas or veneered with phrases, or decorated with ucation has only one aim in this world, and that aim is to make life more worth living. 'We commonly say education is power, but what power is it? The commercialist says it is power to produce more things. The sentimental- ist says it is power to enjoy the poetry of the ages and the wisdom of the sages, the distinctive mark of culture and refinement. The scientist says 43 education and the fine learning to know God, not being sprayed with superficial badges. Ed- If EE ea Q Complimenfs of Readmg Sieel Cczstmg C0 Inc.

Religion says,it is power to live the eternal life in time by learn- ing to know God. Reverence for God is the beginning of wisdom, and to know Him aright is the end. Perhaps there is no enterprise which re- ceives more willing public support than that of education. The faith that underlies this willingness is the conviction that education is 'advan- tageous to individuals and society, that is, that it gives power to live. If our state thought its extensive educational system did not enhance the power of life, the appropriation would be suddenly withdrawn. W'e be- lieve it can help in the line art of living. It is because of this that we so readily consent to increased taxation. Life as a line art involves these two great facts, making a living and making life worth living. Man lives not by bread alone, but neither does he live without it. To make a good living honestly is an honorable en- deavor. Poverty pinches to death. It is too prevalent. Eighty-two per cent. of the people come to old age either dependent or practically de- pendent on otherssfor a living. Wfhile it can not be considered the high- est motive, yet the desire to make a good living for self and family is a worthy motive. The man who does not support himself through this world must have someone to carry him, and that is not fair. It certainly cannot be considered a selfish motive to desire to get a living for oneself. For the encouragement of those who have made a real sacrifice for these years of trial I would like to relate a few facts. The other day a man was walking down the street, and it was really a severe day. Some one said to him: Isn't it rather cold to be out with- out an overcoat? He looked up and smiled and said: Yes, it isg but I put my daughter through High School. The average yearly income of him who has not had the advantage 'of a High School training, as reported before the war, was 3500. The aver- age yearly income of the High School graduate is Slflll. Four years of High School adds S500 annually to your income. If the average income of the High School graduate is S1CDO, the average income for the College graduate is 82100. Four years of College adds 351100 a year to your in- come. On the low, cold plain of dollars education is worth while. It may be that many of you intend to go to College. It may be some of you will be sent to College. Being sent is a different thing from going. If you do go, may I tell you this, that that strong effort which you will put forth in that grapple with the problems of thought and life will give you an increased sympathy for all those who have fought the battle of light against darkness and reality against appearance. And that battle is part of the eternal life. Wfhen I graduated from the High School I had not 82500, but I bor- rowed the money and paid interest on it to take me through both a Col- lege and Seminary course. Let me say to you, young men, if you have the courage and the integrity, you can get the money. Take out a life insurance policy to guarantee payment in case of death, and go in with a will. If you have gone through this city for 16 or 18 years and men have looked upon you as being too indolent and extravagant to be trusted, then your education has been practically neglected. Because you have had educational advantages is not the same as having education. Not what have you memorized, but what have you become and what are you prepa.red to make of yourself is the chief question. You stand today with your hands, with the major portion of your education ahead of you. Let me urge you with all the intensity of my nature to put yourself through a. College course if at all possible. And let me assure you of the glory of the heroism involved in such high and honorable endeavor. ' A boy wrote home to his mother to come to his graduation.

After the president had pronounced upon him the highest honor of his class, he took his diploma and putting it under the arm of a little old lady sitting in the sixth pew, together they walked slowly out over the campus and these are the words he whispered to her: Mother, this is yours, you have earned itf' These are the silent, tender sacrifices which are being made for the education of the youth of the land. They know that life is a fine artg they have seen God all through it. Education must not only aid in making a. living. It should increase that self-confidence which comes from the knowledge a.nd control of the forces of nature. By the discovery of the forces of nature, the uniformity and reliability of the laws of nature man is redeemed from being a victim of circumstances and becomes master. Our forefathers had to wait until the wind blew to sail their boats. XVe tire a boiler and drive the vessel in spite of the winds. Uur ancesters had to migrate where food was more plentiful. VV e today, by our modern methods of agricul- ture and commerce, can live in settled abodes and both produce and trans- port commodities. Almost all materially that is included in our modern life is the result of scientific knowledge and control of natural forces. Many of our ills are due not to malicious deities or an inscrutable provi- dence, but to ignorance and dirt. VVhen an ancient city was besieged by a great epidemic, the people dug a ditch around it and poured in the blood of the dead with piteous prayers and incantations for relief from the plague. Today we analyze the water and milk supply. Ignorance is not the mother of devotion. The kind of devotion that ignorance is the mother of should never have been born. He who thinks that science de- fies natural law and outlaws deity has not yet discovered that natural law is simply God's method of orderly behavior. God does not have to break into the world, because He is already in. He does not have to meddle with it by miracles, because He can operate it so much better by orderly pro- cesses. To be instructed in the laws of nature and human nature is to think God's thought a.fter Him. There are a few things that I must ask you to think with me right here. I might call these warnings. First: I warn you against that soft, satisfied smiling optimism which assumes that human welfare is inevitably assured through education and culture. Give us intelligent power and control over natural forces and the future is guaranteed. This is a monstrous fallacy. A burglar is trained and skilled in the knowledge of the laws of nature and human nature. He makes an easy living. Is this world a great grab bag and life a game of grab and education a process of lengthening the paw and sharpening the claw so as to make the grab more accurate and profitable? Life means that our existence must be clothed with spiritual meaning and infused with a holy purpose. You are trained primarily not for positions in the world but for relations with God and men. You are made for lofty attachments. If you have not this, you training is a mere jugglery of words. If you have low motives, selfish attitudes and ugly dispositions, then you have not the first rudiments of the fine art of living. If you have not the power to sacrifice a pleasure for duty, the ability to stick to a hard task until it yields, the moral integrity to fail like a gentleman rather than win like a crook, then you have no real contribution to make to life, and whatever of history or mathematics you may know only makes you a more dangerous citizen. Power, when did man ever hold so much power in his hands as today! Science has thrown into the lap of the world enough power to wipe out the race it' it is not controlled by goodwill. Un- less public education is directed toward making men thoughtful, merci- 49 on WEALTH 0F HE LTH P1305 6'fiAS.i1fy,y7,FRs through F T The Corset of STYLE as Well as of HEALTH New PuiseiNew StrengthiNew Life ASHIONED fundzuuoutzllly on tho lincs ol' N health, thc NULIFE SfSTf-TZICTIIIQ' corsot still Q follows thc linvs of tho models ol' tho hour -and thnt's hut one ol' tho nchiovcincnts ot AX this truly rcninrlizthlv hvulth garment.

Unless we find these ideals, and by a deliberate and reso- lute purpose direct our vast material, political and economic powers into channels of fairness and fellowship, we shall run down the steep in- cline of decay and plunge headlong into the sea of perditiori. Second: I warn you also against the delusion that everything can be secured through organization. Organization is more than a fadg it is a faith. It believes that personal a.nd social defects can be readily over- come by co-operative groups. Let mediocrity organize and the product will be superiority. Shun this delusion as you would a pestilcnce. XVill scrambling improve the quality of the eggs? Can a good omelet be made from bad eggs? Organization only utilizes, it cannot create power. Mr. Lincoln, in describing the competition among the boatmen of the Missi- ssippi to have the largest steam whistle, said that finally one placed on his engine a whistle so big that when it was blown the engine stopped. Not wheels and whistles, but enlarged boilers are required. You can not improve on God. He never holds out the false promise of getting something worthful for or from nothing. Not by organizing, but by agonizing in a death grapple in the darkness for integrity and honor over against the subtle assaults on the soul is inferiority overcome and su- periority assured.

Unfortunately, however, noth- ing could be done about it, for as yet cosmetics were unheard of. One day the girl, standing on a ladder in the pantry, lost her balance and fell, her face landing directly in an open Hour barrel. Wlieii she re- covered from her fright. woman-like she looked into the mirror. After rubbing some Hour from her eyes and taking a little of it off, she dis- covered that her complexion was improved about a hundred per cent. After this discovery it became a habit of hers to fall into the flour barrel. Her friends noticing the improvement in her complexion, investi- gated and also resorted to the flour barrel. At last this method of im- proving the appearance came to Cleopatra's ears. Having a feminine vanity, she ordered some iiour to be brought and likewise tried it. The news spread like wildfire and soon all of the feminine sex from fourteen to eighty years of age were assiduously applying for flour. Finally, however, the price of iiour soared to such a height that some- thing had to be invented to take its place. Consequently our present day face powder came into existence. - The Origin of Calldb' Catharine G. Rothermel Candy, says a certain old medieval manuscript found in the musty ruins of Italy, traces its origin back to the old medical men among the early Greeks and Romans and came into the world because people be- came sick and were cured by mixtures of honey and herbs. The doctors had not yet heard ol' the modern art of removing tonsils and adenoids. For many centuries this legend concerning the origin of candy had passed from mouth to mouth until it was finally reduced to writing in the form of this manuscript. lt continues as follows: Hippocrates, who lived in the fifth century B. C. was a famous doctor. His remedies for human ills consisted of a few doses of bitter herbs and, in order to tickle the palate of his rich patients, old Hippocrates smeared a little honey on the edge of the cup containing the bitter portion and later on coated his pills with similar substances, thus adding comfort to his patients and no doubt an increase to his fees. His patients became sick more frequently, only for the secret purpose, however, of having the opportunity of eating the de- licious sweet liavors with which he covered his herbs. The news of this wonderful confection spread rapidly and nearly everyone declared him- self to be sick day after day. Getting sick was the only way to get this excellent candy, as Hippocrates alone knew how to make it. Many a little boy would cry to his mother repeatedly during the day, l am sick. His mother would reply, VVell, I'll send for Dr. Fabiusf' No, no, the child would cry, Nl want only Dr. Hippocrates. This was of course very profitable to him. Others finally successfully imitated this wonderful medicine. Great numbers of men now entered the medical profession, and people became alarmed because all other trades and pro- fessions were deserted. They had no more cobblers to mend their shoesg no more tailors to mend their clothes. The confection was then improved upon, for the bitter herbs were eliminated. The doctors made pure honey tatliy and a candy shop arose on every corner. How romantic is this beginning of the manufacture of candy. The name of Hippocrates is now almost forgotten, but the manufacture of candy increases and what a delight it is to be able to enjoy that which Hippocrates originated. 54 Reading Installment Company J.

High Grade Diamonds, Watches and Jewelry -atl KALBACH'S 13 North Ninth Street Repairing a Specialty BEING SORRY ENOUGH Marie Matz I really am awfully sorry, Jack, Kitty said pleasantly. Jack answered with a peculiar snort. Immediately Kitty's manner changed. 'Tve said I was sorry, Jack, she reminded him and I can't see that I can do any more. You canlt, jack replied roughly, And as long as you can't, you might as well drop that being sorry talk. He slammed out of the room as their mother suddenly appeared, VVhy what's the matter with jack? He's the rudest boy! He doesn't seem to have any idea of accepting an apology. Oh, Kitty, what is it now? Kitty didn't like the tone of her mother's question, but there seemed no escape from answering it. Dick VValters gave me a note for him, she replied, and I put it on the mantel and somehow it got covered up. I didn't forget it on purpose. And I told Jack I was sorry. UI do not doubt that you a.re sorry, Kitty, said Mrs. Anderson slowly, just as you have been many times before. But you are not quite sorry enough. Not quite enough? What do you mean? You are continually making trouble for people by thoughtlessness and carelessness, and then you say you are sorry, but you are not sorry enough to change that habit. Repentance means turning over a new leaf. Kitty's lips began to tremble and soon the tears came streaming down her face. . I don't see what ails people. Everybody is so hard on me. I said I was sorry and I don't know what more I can do. Then she rushed from the room and hurried upstairs. Mrs. Anderson sighed, for she knew Kitty had not learned her lesson. It was less than a week later when Kitty's father said at breakfast, I am expecting a telephone message before three o'clock. I suppose there'll be some one here to get it. ' 'Tm going out this afternoon, Mrs. Anderson replied. It's about that Alcott matter, you know, he added to his wife. Kitty was think- ing about her own affairs and paid no attention to that Alcott affair. Mr. Anderson left the house about one o'clock that afternoon, re- minding Kitty of the phone message. About half an hour later Helen, one of Kitty's neighbors, appeared. Oh, Kitty, come quick! Dorothy is going to try on her gown in a minute, and I know you want to see it. Kitty did not have to ask what gown was meant. Dorothy was going out of town to act as bridesmaid at a wedding, and her gown was causing a great deal of excitement to the girls of the neighborhood. Kitty made a rush for the door, then stopped, Oh, dear! I forgot I've got to be here to answer the phone. It'll only take a minute. If they don't get you the first time they'll call again, can't they? I-Ielen inquired. ' VVhy, yes. Father said they would call before three o'clock and I'll be back before that. But Kitty was not back as soon as she expected. VVhen Dorothy had tried on the dress, there were a number of things to decide, whether it was the right length or not, whether it hung evenly, whether the sleeves 57 . I should be three quarters length or end at the elbow. As she listened to the discussion, the telephone message was the farthest thing in the world from 'her thoughts. When everything was decided and the gown removed, Kitty went home quickly. The house was just as she left it. But the clock said ten min- utes after three. At half past three Mr. Anderson came in and his wife was only a minute behind him. He turned to Kitty, Any telephone message? ' No, said Kitty faintly. Mr. Anderson looked at his wife and smiled. Then it's all right. I didn't believe the rumor, but thought I'd better make sure and have Per- kins look it up. He kissed her and moved toward the door. VVill you be home for supper? asked his wife. I'm likely to be late. I'm going to the home of old Mr. Alcott to sign those papers, and the appointment isn't till tive. You might telephone me from his house when you're finished so that I'll know when to expect you. Oh Silas Alcott doesn't have a telephone in his house. He's got plenty of money, but he despises anything modern, and his house is quite a distance from town too. He went out and Mrs. Anderson went about her work. Soon the tele- phone rang and she answered it. Kitty heard her mother utter an ex- clamation. Impossible, Mr. Perkinslp The house h,asn't been alone a minute. VVe've been waiting for your call. Kitty saw that her I1'1OthS1',S face was getting very white. Suddenly she said. I must get my husband before he signs those papers. Goodbyf' She hung up the receiver and groaned, How can I get your father? Mother, what's happened? - There's something wrong about the securities in that Alcott case. Your father mustn't sign those papers. There's no telephone in the Alcott house, he said. I'll have to telephone to the people along the way and ask them to be on the watch for him and stop him. Both knew that that method wasn't satisfactory. I'll run out, said Kitty. Maybe I'll see some one with a car and get them to catch father. She ran from the house, looked up and down the street and only saw her brother's friend, Dick VValters, on his motorcycle. She ran into the street and hailed him. Finally she made him understand that she wanted him to take her some where. Hop in, he said, which road did your father take? Are there two roads? A Sure thing. Oh I don't know which he took. Well, it doesn't matter if we take a different road, Dick said, as long as we get to Alcott's first. Kitty sat holding tightly to the sides of the car. She was tihinking. Suppose she did not reach her father in time? She shuddered at twhe thought of it. The motorcycle went at a tremendous speed. They must reach the Alcott house first. She was beginning to feel more cheerful when suddenly at the top of a steep hill, the motorcycle stopped. Dick jumped off and stood still. What is it? Kitty asked faintly. Out of gas. How far is it to Alcottls? Half a mile or more. tl is SS IT PAYS T0 INSURE WITH US CEP11. HH.

Half a mile does not sound like much, but a half mile run is a good deal to one who tries it. Kitty ran swiftly until her lungs seemed to be bursting. Wlhen she same in sight of the Alcott home, she saw a Ford car coming in the opposite direction stop before the house. Kitty was too tired to call, but she waved her arms. The man looked in her direction, stared, and then ran to meet her. XVhen he came up Kitty gave him the message. You're just in time, said her father. That evening with her father and mother and Jack as listeners, Kitty owned up to her guilt, but no one had much to say. They all knew that Kitty was not merely sorry, but sorry enough to change. - SUNSHINE Sarah Reber Jimmie stood on his usual corner but did not heed the boys who came stealthily near his coveted place and shouted their papers. He was too deep in thought to think of these low fellows who were too greedy and ill-trained to sell their papers by their own cunning. No, he was too deep in thought to notice even that one of his regular customers, and a good tipper, was beckoning to him for his daily purchase. He saw nothing but fields of grass and hay, brooks and flowers, chickens and-dear Sunshine. How she would enjoy it! Soon her cheeks would be pink as the fragrant peach blossoms. Light and happy as the wee woodland fairies, she would run and play, sing and dance, all through the day. And he, oh yes, he would feed the chickens and ride the horses. VVhy had they picked him from the throngs of newsboys? Why was he so happy in the thought of going for a long vacation to the country? Could he possibly wait until the end of the day to tell Sunshine? Yes, he must. He needed the money to buy her dream home and the dollies she wanted. He must work fast and save faster because the time fairly flew these days. He caught the eye of his patronizer and flew to him. The fairies must be working hard for me, now, he said, as he smil- ingly deposited, deep in his pocket, the quarter tip he had just received. Steadily on he worked, hardly knowing his own voice, hardly real- izing the length of time that had elasped since the Orphan-Aider spoke to him. As the five o'clock whistles were heard and the throngs of people departed for their homes, he sped on, to find Sunshine. A Sunny, he called softly, as he entered the bare room that they called home. A little girl with deep blue eyes and brown curls that bobbed contentedly around her shoulders, came to him. She, too, seemed to be bubbling with excitement and mystery. J 'fOh, Jimmie, you stayed so long and I'm so anxious to tell you about myself, she said. Wait, jes' wait-il you hear what l've got to say. Then, won't we be happy, though? Quick, Sunshine, what did you do all day? Oh, Jimmie, I earned some money. I sold some flowers and got a whole dollar for errands. And there's a new lady what's gonna 'ploy me regular for fifty cents for riding the baby carriage through her garden. It's a wonderful place with trees and grass andreal water with red fish in it. It isn't far and the baby is such a darling. Please, Jimmie, will you let me go? Why kid, if you really want to, of course. But only for a week, and then we are going to fairy land. There you can do anything you wish and get lots and lots of fresh air and sunshine. And- 60 ' i s 'N 438 TO 444 v Psmvs I READING.

One at a time, sis. Say, let's have supper first and then talk.. I'll tell you all about it. Oh, gee! Aint you glad, though? They have real horses what's bigger than the ones on the Merry-go-round at Coney, and they kick and run as fast as anything. And there's lots of chickens and brooks where you can catch fish if you don't talk and if you have fat Worms. The Orphan-Aider told me all about it and she said we could stay a month. A whole month! And mustn't you ever sell any old papers all day and can you play with me and who all's going? About thirty kids that don't have no mas or pas and that don't never get a vacation. Say, Sunny, when did we have our last off day? Oh, long ago. Don't you remember when you found a quarter, and you took me to Coney Island and we went on the Merry-go-round, and had some ice-cream and popcorn? Oh! It was a lovely day and I had such a good time. Xvill we have that much fun in the country? Jimmie looked at the anxious little face with its dimples and smiles and thought again how good the fairies were to him, to give him such a sister. More, Sunny, much more and it will last a long, long time. Sunny, I wish you could stay forever. But, Jimime, I couldn't stay without you. VVho would keep house for you and make your supper and-and love you? Oh! Jimmie, I jus' couldn't stay without you. Cheer up, Honey, I'll stay with you and we will have fun all the time.

Their dreams were coming true at last, they were- on their way to the country. Bright faces peered from the windows while their happy, childish voices echoed through the station. Soon they were in the open, passing the long lines of freight cars, truck iron and ships on either side. Soon they were speeding through marshy places and then came the bay, and the eager children looked with large eyes and open mouths at the great spans of water on both sides. The rushing cars and the passing scenery was a wonder to these kid- dies who had never been on the cars before. XVhy should they not be thrilled by the idea and the reality of the ha.ppening? The brave boys, who soon became used to the water and movement of the train, laughed and talked lightly of the matter, dropping paper and bits of string into the water. But the timid girls sat very still with folded hands and hoped that the train wouldn't turn over. Sunshine smiled at her brother and sat contentedly by his side, amazed by the train and the group of laughing boys and their jokes and tricks. She was too happy to talk. She wished to think of how the coun- try would lookg of how big it would be, and how many kittens there would be. She hoped they would be small and furry and that she would be allowed to hold one of them. Touching her brother's arm, she asked, Do they have little yellow chicks like we saw in the windows at Easter time, and will they let you touch them? Yes, you may hold them but don't squeeze or frighten them or they will run away. Don't you like to see the grass on top of the water? I wonder how it got way out there, anyhow? Probably they dump the 62 The Reading ational Bank 615-6 1 7 PENN STREET Designated Depository of United States Government Lgqp fzzfervsz' Huh' 011 KSIIT-'I'lIg'.V flrfomzfs, all 01' mg' jmnf Qf Zilbffb aw bc '?I'I.IlhI?17'll'ZE-'IZ at azzy flllllt' fC I.1'hI7IlIl 7Z0fI'F6'.

I wonder which ocean this is, anyway, sis. It's much bigger that it looked on your Geography map. XVhy, Jimmie! There's no train on the ocean. This must be a lake. W'ill we soon be there, now? Two hours later the train stopped at a country station in Southern New Jersey. It was a quaint little station with only three walls, with narrow benches along these sidesg simply a shelter for rainy days. Drawn up by the side of this station were two large open wagons. The old driver on the first one looked attentively at the happy group, who were to be partly in his Charge for the next four weeks. Already he was picking this one and that one from the crowd and making comments on them to his friend on the seat of the other wagon. ' 'The little Irish lad, yonder, is going to make a fine rider, and if it is willed I'm the one that'll give him his first lesson. Oh, boy! I ken see him already on Old Midnight. XN7ha.t a. fine lad he is, eh Mike? That he is, my friend, and a good rider he will be if he falls in your hands. VVell, I guess most of 'em need lifting so I'll wabble down from my seat and help that young critter. Looks as if we had a job on our hands. But how they will enjoy it! It's a fine day for a start and it's a ine picture they make. Up you go, sonnie. Move up front and don't fall out. Keerful there-or you'll bump your knee. VVait, wa.it, don't shove. Plenty of room and plenty of time before we start. Now, then, Sonny, you may sit by me on the seat. All right, the little girl may sit there, too. Fine. Sure and we're ready, Pat, if you are? On with you, Spike. Git up thar, Joe. It's a fine load you have and it's high time you were gitting along. Quietness reigned for a few minutes as the kiddies gazed at the fields and farm houses. Jimmie looked intently at the horses and the reins which were held in the Irishman's strong hands. My, but they are big horses. XVould-would they run away with- out the lines? he asked. Sure and they are horses with a. breeding. They know old Pat's voice and hand. No, my lad, they are as tame as a dog. XVant to try a hand at driving? Xlfith that he passed the reins to Jimmie, who imme- diately sat very straight, bit his lips, and tried to steady his small hands. Gee, Sunny, ain't this great. I'm gonna like the country immensely. Do the horses live with us, Mister Pat? Look! Thar's Chap! He is a fine Collie, he and a good friend. Xlfefll soon be unloaded and have some country victuals before us. I guess we are pretty hungry by now. Eh, my fine friends? At this remark there was an uproar I rom the back of the hay wagon. Surely they were having fun. They liked Pat and the remarks he made. They liked Chap too. llfith the aid of the attendants and the farm hands the children wererefreshed and ready for a square meal. During the afternoon they were left to find amusement for themselves. Jimmie took Sunshine to see the pigs. They did not have much appeal to Sunny. She preferred to walk through the stretch of woodland .behind the barn. Somehow she felt sure there were some friends waiting there for her. She wanted to go and speak to them-alone. Jimmie, wouldn't you rather see the horses? I believe Pat's going to hitch them up for something. Yes, Jimmie, I'm sure he is. My! I would like to see him. lfVant to go there with me, Sunny? But Sunny was inclined to visit the woods and with a sweet smile and a 'SGood-bye, she ran toward her fa1ry's home.

It was with a sigh of content that she seemed to be in a perfect realm of fairyland. In the days that followed Jimmie was glad of the fact that Sunshine's happiness seemed perfect. She continued to 1nake her visits to fairyland. The pink deepened in her cheeksg her yes sparkled with anew light. There seemed never a care in her heart these days. XN7hy, oh why, could it not last forever? She was also concerned about Jimmie and often she wished that he might stay. His love of nature pleased her. She loved to watch him ride Joe. He looked like an ardent knight upon his most beloved steed, ready for battle at any rate. He was her idol., She loved everything he did. She wanted to be like him. - ' Near the Close of the month Jimmie had a 'remarkable coat of sun- burng also a great deal of boyish pride because of his knowledge of horses. His greatest ambition in life was to beta horseman. One day as he was out on Qld Midnight, he tried a new path. It seemed extremely invitingg trees lined either side like a stately border for the narrow white way, while the road itself was in excellent condition. It was just the thing to be desired on a hot, sunny day. His spirits rose as he rode along. The murmur of the brook seemed to 'keep time with his thoughts. Old Midnight was feeling frisky and light footed. Letting' the horse go at a good pace, he began to consider the future. There was one thing' puzzled him. Doctor Sherman, a visitor at the farm, had spoken to one of the ladies about Sunny. There was something in his tone and look that startled Jimmie, who was positive he had heard the doctor say Too bad, and shake his head. 'XN7as Sunny ill? VVas anything going to happen? Wfhat could he have meant? He must, it was certain, ego into details with someone. Nothing must happen to his Sunshine. But Jimmie had not long' to wait for his answer. It was just two days before they should leave for the city. The children were getting their last bit of enjoyment out of the vacation. Only Sunshine was missing. After breakfast Jimmie walked through the woodland palace, but found no signs of her there. He walked back to the house to Iind Miss Delane looking for him. S Come in a minute, Jimmie, she said. I must tell you soinetliingf' She drew her a.1'1H about the lad a.nd walked with him throupjh the long, bright hall. ' Sunshine is ill, my dear, she said. lt is a fever and the doctor thinks it will not prove to be serious. The rest of the children will be sent home today. If you wish, you may remain here with Sunny, which we hope will not be for long. On the other hand, you may return to your position and we will keep you informed of your sister. KI want to stay, and I want to help. You don't think she'll be so verv sick, do you, Miss Delane. , ' Don't worry, dearg just hope for the best. The next week seemed ages to Jimmie, who had never, never suffered so much in his life. She must get well. Sihe must keep on being' his Sun- shine. XN7hat, just what, would he do without her? To Sunshine, hier life had changed. She was in a different world. She didn't know 'these strange people. She wanted her little brown elf- man and her silver fairy. The night seemed so long and it was so hot. She was sure she couldn't he there much longer. Long, long' after that some one came to her side. She couldn't know who it was. Ther deep shadow around itg it seemed to be very sad. She couldn't under- stand because she was all right now, everything was calm and settled. Her head was cool and there seemed to be someone somethino- jj' 67 C VVZIS 3. 1 Q, ca lllg 4' ' fy. . ' : - Ffa! ni' her, beckoning to her. She was ready to go to follow it.

Hjimmie, Jimmie, I can't, I can't. Again she was silent. It was an anxious crowd that waited in the hallg waited there for ages and ages. The doctor softly opened the door a.nd stepped out to them. His face was quivering. Jimmie seemed to turn to stone. He eouldn't wait any longer. . And the doctor whispered, She will live.

GS X 1, R O A S T P I G Now, here is a tale about a little pig, NVho never did an thing but dance the jigg One day this pig decided to go 'way, VVhere he could dance the jig all day, So he packed his bag and danced along And the tune he used was a mocking-bird's song. But alack and alas! he danced too far, F or he came to the place where the fairies are. He danced some more, then rested a bit- Till a. fairy came and beside him did sit, She said, Lo be here, you must work each morn, Until the sun into many rays ist torn. Now, you know this lazy pig was peeved, For this place was just what hebelieved YVould be most pleasant to dance his jig, And here is the answer from that selfish pig: I come to dance and not to work, lf or work you know isn't good for pork, n So, you do your work and I'll do my play- 1'm sure we'll get along best, if we do it that way. This good fairy now was provoked indeed, So she planned to punish this pig for his greed, V ery well, you may dance but never rest, And youill find that to work is often best. VVith this the fairy darted off on a cricket But the pig danced round and round the thicket. - 7 As the day deepened into shades of night, The little pig knew that the fairy was rightg He could not stop and rest any more, Hut kept getting hotter as the sun sank lower, And so he danced thro' three days and nights Until finally his tempera.ture reached its height. Then one day, at noon, he ceased his jig, And dropped to the turf-a little roast pig. -Frances Schmucker. In Commercial Law Teacher- XVhat are the necessities in life for infants?

Dusk was falling, and on board the junk a low click-clacking announced that .the evening meal was under way. By the rail the captain stood, smoking his nightly opium pipe. W'hile he gazed, his tiny daughter, Nainuka, glided to him. She turned her small face upward, fixed her almond eyes upon his, and begged plaintively for a story. The captain cleared his throat, and started in: HA longtime ago, Nainuka, for that is the way all stories begin, there lived a most charming little princess. Her name was Twangsoi, which means Silken Hair. Everyone loved the little lady. She was as dainty as could beg and her skin was as smooth as ivory. But the most wonderful thing about her was her hair. There never was anything to equal that, long and black, Hue and glossy, and so soft! But this little Princess Twangsoi was not happy. And she was un- happy because her people were so poor. She, herself, had enough money and enough for all her subjects. There were a great many powerful prin- ces that wanted to mary her, but she wasn't at all sure that they would be willing to help her people. So she told them that every one of them should come to her at the end of a year, and tell what they had done to assist her subjects and to improve the country. Then all the princes went away, even though they did not want to leave Twangsoi. ' The poor little' Princess worried all the timeithey were away. But that which made her feel most badly was that her people were getting poorer and poorer everyday. A long time ago it had been a powerful country, but now-why, other people scarcely knew there was such a place. At last the day came. All the princes were to come and tell her of what they had done. All the people for miles and miles around came, too, to hear them. Princess Twangsoi received them all most graciously. Then the first Prince stepped forward. UI have given freely of my gold, Princess, he said, and I have built a large school where your peo- ple can learn all the arts and sciences. Poor little Twangsoi-her face clouded and she looked thoughtful. Then she said, Oh, Prince, you have been most kind, but you have not succeeded in carrying out my wishes. Only a few of my subjects can go to your school, and even they could not afford to do so. They must earn a living, or their wives and children will go hungryfl The Prince withdrew and another came, eager to take his place. I, Princess, have perfected a most beautiful flower. I have watched and tended it carefully, so as to bring it to you in all its beauty and fresh- ness. Surely this will make your people more happy. Even the eyes of the Princess glistened and all the people exclaimed for he had given to them the flower we all love-the Chrysanthemum. The Princess hesitated, then said ever so gently, It is true, oh Prince, that your flower will make my people happy, but it will not get them a living. So you, too, have failed. Thurs it was with the other Princes. They had all tried, but none had succeeded. The people were getting ready to go home and little Twangsoi was all but crying, when suddenly another Prince appeared. He came quickly to the Princess, holding outstretched a lustrous, shinnnering material. The Princess gasped and put out her hand to grasp it. Then she said l'XVhat is it? May I touch it? You may, said the Prince, for it is yours. Then he explained to the wondering people. 70 He had often noticed the little worms that fed on mulberry leaves, and wondered what use they had in this world. Then he saw their cocoons, and had marveled at the glossiness of them. Gradually he formed the whole process of weaving cloth from them. He thought of Princess Twangsoi and realized that this was what they needed. To have the cloth, the cocoons were necessaryg to.have the co- coons they had to have the worms, and these in turn. needed great quan- tities of leaves to feed on. In this way a great many people could be given work. So the Princess married the Prince, and the country became rich and powerful. But what, Nainuka, do you think they called the new material? You remember, I told you that the little Princess was called Twangsoi, which means Silken I-lair. XVell, the people never expected to find anything that was more like it than the strands of threads of the fabric, so they called it-Silk. And that is the material that all you little girls! like to have your dresses made of, when you want them to be especially pretty and daintyf' And it grew darker and darker, and the stars came out one by one, but little Nainuka sat thinking of the story of the little Japanese Princess Twangosi. The harder you're hit, the higher you bounce, Be proud of your blackened eye! It's not the fact that you're hit that counts, It's-how did you fight-and why? -Robert T. Service. For beauty I am not a star, There are others more handsomeby farg But my face,-I. don't mind it, For I am behind it,-- It's the others in front that I jar. -Exchange. AN INNOCENT DECEIVER Ruth Amole Never! NVhy under the sun did you ever get that idea? I do not hate men. In fact, they are the least of my worries. But I believe in be- ing independent, and not getting silly and sentimental over a man. What good are they anyhow? Look at Jean? She's all cut up and half sick be- cause Bob took another girl out last night. Harriet is just walking on air because Dick sent her a dozen roses. Men, men, nothing but men!

This outburst, or rather lecture, was delivered by Carol Sheridan to the rest of the girls in the of- fice. She was just a little over thirty years with wistful grey eyes, a proud little head that had something in it, dark brown hair, and a healthy com- plexion. Carol was not tall, only tive feet, three inches but the saying, All good goods comes in small packages, applied to her exactly. Two minutes after this lecture, jean breezed into Carol's private of- fice and began by saying, or rother half sobbing, just you wait, my dear, you needn't be so almighty powerful about this man business. lvhy? -just two weeks ago you were made the head of this office.

He seems to need more advicee- 'Tl You get out of this office just as fast as your dainty feet will take you. I will not stand for such nonsensical talk, and besides I will repeat once more I have work to finish. This was Carolls answer. For a half hour she worked without further interruption when one of the girls suddenly entered and sid in a loud, teasing manner, My dear, Mr. Lodge requests your august presence in his oilice at your lirst leisure mo- ment. Of course, donit hurry on his account. Keep him on the string as Vivian doesg that's my mottof' Carol picked up her tablet and pencil, slammed the door to show her anger, and marched through the main of- fice without looking left or right. Vxfhen she entered David Lodge's oihce, she did not give her usual smile. How could she be expected to smile at this man after she had re- ceived so much teasing just on his account? Not receiving the generally ready smile, he asked Carol what troubled her. Naturally she couldn't tell the real reason for her trouble, so she only said she had a terrible headache. Mr. Lodge insisted that she had togo home and rest so that she would be all right for the Saturday rush. Any other day she might have appreciated this, but today she felt as if she could tear her hair. liven before she left thegoflice for the day, the girls were still tormenting her. The last she heard was, I vow that she will be the lirst one in this office to marry. But she was even too disgusted to be indignant at this, so she never even bothered to give an answer. On the way home she had time to relent and think. In the lirst place what did she have against Mr. Lodge? Nothing! That was the answer to the whole thing. He was tall and well built with hair a little darker than hers, and was an altogether fine looking man of not quite forty years. Yes, he had lots of money, too. But then he was her employer, and promoted her just as she was longing for a few more luxuries. l-ler new position did permit her to have a. dear little roadster all her own. She was to have another and probably the last lesson in running a car that afternoon at live o'clock? But what was the use of waiting till. tive o'clock? She knew or at least thought she knew, how to drive it. For- getting all her troubles, she walked gaily to the garage and sneaked her car out. My, but it was a delicious feeling to run a car, and a car that one owned all alone. Carol was spinning along gaily, up one street and down another when suddenly without any warning a little child of about three years ran right in front of her car. My! She threw in her brakes, but being new in the game, she did the first thing she thought of and that was to turn directly to the left. Another car coming towards her saw it in time and stopped short, caus- ing only a slight collision. This was too much for the new driver. Carol Sheridan was so scared that she just sat rigid and wide eyed, looking at the other driver but never recognizing him. Fortunately he was not af- fected in the same manner, and he came over to her, In a dazed way she can remember moving over to the other side of the car and being driven home, of being half helped and half lifted up the steps to her room, and of being gently comforted. Gradually her scattered senses began to get together again and there, wonders, of all wonders. It was David Lodge! Did he waste any time? No, they both decided they had already wasted enough, so instead of going back to work, Carol made a trousseau. In two weeks they had a. quiet little wedding and the only people outside of the families who were there, were the girls from the oilice.

Mr.. Mansfield, as a Secret Service man in the government employ, was thinking over the details for his night's work. He was returning from a visit to -an abandoned house which stood about a mile from the village of Codtown and which was situated on top of a bluff overlooking the sea. Lately, smuggled goods had been coming into the country with great rapidity and the government officials were trying to ascertain where the smuggled wares were coming from, and were endeavoring also to trap the ringleaders of the band. It was supposed that the illegal goods was brought in yachts or schooners to some of the harbors along the New England coast that were easy of access. From these boats the goods were unloaded at night and stored in places known only to the smugglers until it could be satisfactorily disposed of without creating suspicion. Codtown lay in the suspected district and so the government had sent Mr. Mans- field with his co-workers to investigate this vicinity thoroughly. The arrival of the Secret Service men caused a slight stir in the sleepy little town, but they kept their purpose from the townspeople, for they wished to work undisturbed without rumor or village gossip. The abandoned house on the bluff attracted the attention of the chief at once, for it was an out of the way place and yet easy of ,access from the coast-an excel- lent cache for illegal goods. By a casual inquiry it had been learned that the former owner had even had sort of an underground passage leading from the shore to a hidden recess in the lower part of the house, but no- body seemed to know anything definite about it. lt had all the advan- tages that smugglers could desire. Chance passersby had said that Hashes of light and strange noises had been observed at various times. A Therefore Mr. Mansfield felt very hopeful of finding hidden goods, and thought what a feather in his cap it would be if he could catch the law-breakers red-handed. He decided to tell this companions that the aban- doned house furnished the most promising clue and he decided to make a thorough search and possibly raid that very night. For in the course of his investigations he had also noticed a vessel hanging about the har- bor that was quite different from the usual fishing smacks and which had no apparent object for its presence there. Mr. Mansfield had felt that even at that time the smugglers were bringing goods at night into the house until the ship should be emptied. He found his fellow workers in the inn and told them that he had seen footprints and signs of disturb- ance on the sands that very afternoon. They all. agreed that no time was to be lost, for any day the ship might depart after having unloaded all her supposedly smuggled cargo. That night saw them searching the house with the skill of experts, but the upper stories of the house revealed nothing. Even when they entered the cellar nothing suspicious appeared and they felt their hopes fading. Suddenly one of the men opened a cupboard door-oh-but was it a cupboard? For within seemed to be a passage. Armed to the teeth the men approached the opening and listened. There seemed to be sounds issuing from within-noises that seemed to be hurriedly sup- pressed. Clifton Mansfield entered, followed by the rest of the men. Ah -this was too good to be true! a door was at the end of the passage, a light shone from beneath the door and there was some one within. The 73' men found they could easily open the door, for it flew in when they put their weight against it and they gazed in wonder at what they saw. In- stead of a band of desperadoes they saw a crowd of village urchins gaz- ing half angrily, half fearfully at the intruders. Aw, you fellers said one who appeared to be their leader, how did you ever find out we were here and spoil our meetin'? Incoherent statements followed, but from it all might be gathered the fact that the boys had a secret organization, as most boys do, and that at this place they could meet undisturbed to discuss how they might dis- cover the smugglers, indefinitely heard about, and receive the coveted fabled reward.

H. S. SUCCESS Elva Carpenter A vessel was about to leave her moorings at the busy port of Naples, Italy. The decks were crowded with people, anxious to wave one last fond farewell to the loved ones they were leaving behind. On the lower deck, leaning against the rail, her hands clasped tightly about an old, tattered traveling bag, ther eyes peering thoughtfully at the fast-disap- pearing shore, stood a slim young girl, Only a daughter of Italy could pos-- sess such blue-black hair and dark eyes, in whose depths there sometimes lurked a sombre light when she thought of all she was leaving in her be- loved country. She was bound for America, that land of which such glowing pictures had been drawn, and which for her meant the fulfill- ment of all her hopes and ambitions. The voyage was uneventful, no storms breaking the monotony of life on the ship. The young Italian girl had but few friends on board. Hers was a queer, uncommunicative character. Among her friends in Naples it was commonly remarked that Regina Corbario was difficult to under- stand and even more diflicult to become friendly with. Some twenty years before, Bianca Corbario, the widowed mother of Regina, had been rapidly gaining fame as a singer throughout Naples, when her career was suddenly cut short by her untimely death. A ter- rible epidemic had been raging in the southern part of Italy, and the Sig- nora Corbario, who was sojourning, there, had contracted the disease and died a few days afterward. Regina, then a tiny baby, was brought up by distant relatives in whose wasteful hands the same fortune left to hcr by her mother 'dwindled to a mere pittance. XV hen she reached the age of eighteen, she determined to sail for America and there win wealth and fame with the remarkably rich, pure, flexible voice she had inherited from her mother. '74 In all Italy there was only one person whom Regina really regretted leaving. His name was Giovanni Reanda, and he had been her child- hood friend and playmate. Out of the sincere friendship existing be- tween the two, had developed a deep, enduring feeling of love on the part of Giovanni. Regina, remembering the stories told to her of her mother's triumphs, could not be content to settle down into the placid uneventful life which she knew she would lead as the wife of Giovanni. Instead, she craved the glamour of I fame which had surrounded' her mother, and the wealth she was sure she could earn in far-away America. And so, we find her en route for the land around which all her aircastles have been built and all her glorious fancies woven. The ship arrived safely in the New York harbor and Regina, after surmounting the difficulties regarding her passport, proceeded to hunt as oheap a lodging place as possible, in order not to drain too heavily upon her slim resources. She at last succeeded in obtaining a tiny hall-bed- room at one of the shabby boarding houses to which she applied. After showing Regina to her room on the third Hoor, Mrs. O'Connell, the kindly Irish woman who owned the house, descended the steps to the first tioor where her family and several boarders were half through the evening meal. Sure an' she's one av thim poor furriners, an Eyetalian oime thinkin', confided Mrs. O'Connell to her eldest daughter, who had in- quired about the new boarder. The speculations about Regina were soon forgotten in the topics of conversation which followed. The next day Regina set out to make the rounds of the theatrical agencies. Her slight figure and appealing dark eyes, added to her quaint, pretty way of expressing herself in broken English, made a good im- pression on the rather irate managers. But work was scarce, and there were plenty of girls with talent who were also searching for something to do. At last, just when her hopes were almost gone, and she was turn- ing away from the last oiiice with tears of disappointment in her eyes, she felt a light touch on her shoulders. Turning slowly, she found her- self gazing up -into a pair of the kindliest blue eyes she had ever seen. Their possessor was a middle-aged man of medium height with brown hair, slightly gray at the temples, who had been watching her intently ever since she had entered the office. Here, Pendleton, he called to the manager seated at the desk in the office, give this little girl a tryout, she has been waiting here for more than an hour. The man addressed as Pendleton, looked up impatiently from his work, and then, seeing who the speaker was, hastily rose and crossed the room with arm outstretched. g'XVhy, Mr. Grayson, I hadn't expected to see you back so soon! By unexpected good fortune I managed to transact my business sooner than I had hoped too, said the man who had interceded for Re- gina, and now, Pendleton, we will ask Miss---9' and he looked ques- tioningly at Regina. , . Cor-bario, Signorf' supplied the girl, striving vainly to speak calmly. NV e will ask Miss Corbario to step into the next room for a tryout, ended Mr. Grayson, leading the way into a small, sunny room adjoining the oiiice. For a few minutes Mr. Grayson engaged Regina in conversation, striv- ing to put the girl at her ease by asking. her numerousquestions about her plans and ambitions. Regina answered him as rapidly as her rather limited supply of English would permit. Her nervousness had disap- peared by leaps and bounds, and the old feeling of assurance which she had lost returned. W'hen Mr. Grayson asked her to sing some song she knew in order to give them an idea of whether her voice showed any 75 promise or not, she complied readily. Crossing the room to where a piano stood in the corner she seated herself, and after a few minutes of thought, started the prelude to one of the most beautiful' oif the Italian love songs. And then, raising her head slightly, she began to sing. She forgot her audience, she forgot that she was in a strange land among strange people, she only remembered Giovanni, and the warm, intoxicat- ing fragrance of the flower-Hlled garden surrounding her home in Naples. The tiny room was filled with the poignant sweetness of her voice. Her notes were low and caressing, pure and round as those of a silver cathe- ral bell, and at the same time strangely vibrant and hauntingly sweet. VVhen the last note had died away lingeringly, there was a hushed silence in the room. Mr. Grayson was the hrst to speak. My dear, said he cross- ing the room to where Regina sat a.nd taking her hands in his, I have heard many good voices in my time, and not a few great ones, but none so strangely impressive as yours. Wlith a little trainingiL He left the sentence expressively unfinished. And that was the beginning of the meteor-like carer of Regina Corbario., Too brilliant to last long and yet so bright that it seemed pitiful to have it cut as short as it was. She rose rapidly to fame and her name was on every tongue. She became wealthy enough to satisfy her most extravagant desires, but still something with in her. remained unsatisfied. It was in the month of january that the turning point of Regina's career took place. On the opening night of one of her most famous operas, an old throat ailment suddenly returned and was aggravated by the unavoidable draughts back-stage and in the wings. After the por- formance, she was unableto speak above a whisper and the most eminent throat specialist in New York was called in. After a lengthy examina- tion, the doctor, with a grave face, replaced in his bag the instruments he had used, and then cleared his throat for speech. Miss Corbariof' he said, I have had one or two other cases like yours and in due time have found that the throat will heal, but as for singing again and using your voice continually as you have been doing, I can hold forth little hope. Regina sat in stunned silence. It could not be true. Never to sing again! Never to hold a vast audience enthralled by the power and beauty of her voice, and to hear the deafening applause of her thousands of admirers at the close of a song! After the doctor had gone, she tried to form plans for her new future, but her thoughts were confused, and only one sentence rang and re-rang clearly in her mind. Never to sing again! She would return to Italy, she decided, and there spend the remainder of her life quietly. VVith the wealth she had accumulated, she would be able to live comfortably. And now in her distress, her thoughts reverted to the one person who had loved her and had faith in her through it all. Giovanni would welcome her back with open arms. Giovanni, who had begged her to give up her career, and marry him. And now the true value of success and happiness dawned upon her. Cf what value was it all in the end? VVhen she was gone from the stage, some new star would take her place, and the great public, ever tickle, would have difliculty remembering Regina Corbario. Her despondent mood changed, a feeling of almost happiness succeeded it. She would return to Naples very soon, at once, and she made preparations to leave, with an exultant feeling of leaving all her troubles behind. On the following day, Regina set sail for home. The thought that sho would never sing again still rang dully in her mind, but it was no longer accompanied by the terrible feeling of agony she had first eX- perienced. ' 76 l l The voyage was pleasant, but, as they neared the port at Naples Re- l gina was filled with a consuming impatience to see Giovanni. At last, l they were safely in the harbor and Regina immediately sought out Gio- i vanni. 'She knew where to look for him. In the little rose garden of the home he had built for her long ago, he was accustomed to sit, when the day's work was over. It was twilight, and Regina stole cautiously toward I the rose-arbor where a well-known and much loved form could be faintly seen in the fast-gathering darkness.

She was spinning as a mad creature, her flaming drapcries enchanting in the glow .. of the setting sun. At last she sank, a breathless heap of sinking clouds. In a moment she rose again and spinning round, she fled from the stage into the bushes. Behind a foliage of shruhbery her maid was waiting with a cloak. Flinging it about her slim shoulders, she flow up the path to a little tower set on the top of a tiny hill. Climbing up the winding stair- way, she stepped out on the balcony and stood, allowing the breeze to cool her. There was a deep red glow in her cheek which the unaccus- tomed action had brought. As twilight deepened, dreams came, and Carlotta wished that she could dance madly on forever. Soon she was aware of another presence. Turning, she saw a tall, young man with the most beautiful eyes set in a face framed with coal black hair. Pardon, I intrude? he asked in a well-modulated voice. No, I came here last. Don't go, he begged as she turned, ready to leave. Your dancing -it was wonderful: but then words cannot express its beauty. You are a veritable spirit of fire. You liked it? I love it too, she stated simply. May I escort you back to your friends? 77 Yes, but will it not seem queer? You, a perfect stranger, escorting me, another stranger? VVhy be strangers? I am Standish Blackg and you? h Carlotta Murano! Miss Murano, we had better go back quickly or else we will Set the unkind gossips talking. So back to the people whom Carlotta loved yet hated, they went. Oh! how she longed to dance for ever. She wanted to be the darling of thea- tre goers. But her Aunt would never condescend to have her niece on the stage. A Murano on the stage! Dancing for her living! I am sure conserva- tiev Aunt Marie would have become hysterical at the idea. Carlotta's father was too engrossed in business to consider. Yet he, too, would have objected. As soon as Carlotta and her escort reached the softly lighted ball- room, she was claimed by a host of admirers. In a short time her dance card was filled with the names of friends who wanted the privilege. Her escort saw to it that he too was included amongst her partners, He claimed three fox trots and one waltz. You are greedy! his friends told him. Lucky one! sighed another. Yet none of the girls and women hated her for her popularity. Carlotta was a mixture of childish, lov- able qualities. Brilliant and witty in conversation, her ability to adapt herselfto her surroundings was one of her numerous qua.lities. But for a. background, she had a temper as passionate as only her Spanish ancestors could have produced. VVhen Standish claimed her for the first waltz, she was strangely glad. They made a striking couple, she, petite, brunette, with black eyes, cheeks a warm reduwhich deepened with the motion of dancing. They were perfect dancers. She followed him by instinct, seeming to understand at once what his next move would be. Only too soon did the musicians stop playing. Can't I get some refreshment for you? he inquired. Dol I a.m famished and hot, she replied. Together they found a comfortable spot and then sipped cool bever- a.ges. Ah, I thought I would be forgotten! exclaimed one of her promised partners, as he discovered the two, seated behind two spacious palm trees. ' All too soon did the evening pass. The moonlight had cast a charm on every thing. Too soon the guests had gone. Next morning Carlotta attacked the family at the breakfast table. Please, everybody, I am going on the stage. Carlotta! in Spain, girl?- from Aunt Marie. Now, Auntie, don't tell me about girls' conduct in Spain. Carlotta! in Spain, girls-lf' Yes, in Spain girls go to bull fights and flirt outrageously. Yes, I know. ' Dad, may I go on the stage? Carlotta ran up to him and perched on the arm of his chair. She began to pull and twist his hair. But, why go anywhere? Can't you stay at home and keep Vour daddy company in his spare moments? ' ' Yes and learn how girls in Spain are taught decorum, put in Aunt Marie. ln Spain, girls--- - ' Now, Marie, donlt start that, interposed her brother. Jose, you would let that girl run wild if it were not for me, '78 i If it were not for you, Aunt Marie, I would be able to do more. 'fCarlotta! Don't Carlotta me, I am, oh! --1She seemed so overcome with anger that even her immovable aunt was startled. jose, if Carlotta had been- Stop! Daddy, make her stop! I'll go crazy. Carlotta sprang up and bursting in tears, she ran from the room. Now, Marie, don't work the girl up so, Mr. Murano said, trying to soothe his sister. Let her go on the stage if she wants. Sheill soon tire of it and be glad to come back to her own home. Stuff and nonsense! The idea of a. girl of Carlotta's cast going on the stage. If your father and mother could hear you talk, I am sure they would turn in their graves! CHAPTER II The subject of their discussion, after succeeding in controlling her- self, rose and bathed her flushed, tear-stained face. She then slipped on her sport suit. Seizing her racquet she ran down to her waiting automo- bile. She had ten minutes in which to get to the club. She ha.d a tennis appointment with the crowd and they would be impatient if their game was delayed. In eleven minutes she was seen tearing up the steep ascent to the club house. The speed had revived her generally vivacious spirit .and she felt ready for tennis which would be followed by a rest on the cool veranda. 'Lo, every body, she called as she stopped the car. Late as usual! cried one. - It takes a girl to keep a fellow waiting, teased another. ' Oh, it does? VVell, just for that I think I will beat you this morn- ing. And she did. VVhile they were playing, Sta.ndish Black emerged from the near-by woods and sauntering by, was hailed by his cousin. Stan! come here and meet everybody, called Jeanne Black. Corning X At the close of the set Carlotta and her fellow players all joined Jeanne and the group about them. Ah,'Carlotta, meet my cousin, Standish Black. Standish, this is Carlotta Murano, our Spanish toe dancing beauty. VVhat a list of adjectives! Carlotta teased. You are a fine player. Carlotta turned quickly to find Standish Black at her elbow. Thank you. I felt murderous and, by unusually hard playing, I man- aged to work oi? surplus energy. Now, however, I feel as usual. You will play with me some time? he asked. Certainly, Ishall be glad to. I hear you are an artist. Now Jeanne has been telling tales out of school again. Perhaps she did. I was doing a bit of landscape this morning. VVould you care to see it? I have my outfit in the woods. Oh, do show it to me. Together they strolled across the lawn to the woods. You mind a tiny climb? he asked. Indeed, no. I love all hiking. Her words were proven to him by her almost masculine agility in as- cending the steep slopes, and in scrambling over rocks. At last they came to a clearing which was pretty far above the level of the club . '79 house. All about could be seen the massive homes of Carlottafs friends, and the clubhouse looked beautiful below, surrounded by velvety ex- panses of lawn which was dotted with gaily dressed people. Standing a.t right angles with the views was his canvas and a stool. Carlotta gave one look and uttered a cry. Oh! It's gorgeous! The coloring is superb! I adore it. Her child-like enthusiasm brought forth a smile of amusement from Standish. l have never seen any of your work on exhibition. Her statement was more of a command.

You like excitement? IVithout excitement I am dead! Now we must go back as I have a CHAPTER III For the remainder of the summer, Carlotta and Standish were brought into daily contact. As Summer deepened into Autumn, so friendship ripened into love. , One evening at the close of the season, Standish and Carlotta slipped away and walked through a lonely lane Whose end was on the sands of the beach. Here as the moon rose Standish told of his love and Carlotta confessed hers. Together they stood silhouetted against the brightness of the moon. All thoughts of a stage career were forgotten. Love had supplanted everything. b l! luncheon engagement.

This title was bestowed on him because of his disposition, which was ready at any moment to break out into a furious rage. l-le was huge of stature, broad shouldered and very muscular, perhaps thirty-tive years old. His raven black hair, dark scowling visage, and small, grey, piercing eyes made anyone who came within his range tremble and quake. For his abode, Thundereloud had a large greystone castle situated on an island in the middle of a beautiful lake. Large, pointed rocks jutted out of the water surrounding the edge of the island and served as a first barricade. As another protection. a stone wall of considerable height circled inside the tirst fortification. The only entrance was on the south side, and anyone from the mainland desiring entrance had to tirst row to the castle gate. This was an iron structure stretched between two high boulders, four yards apart. and extended for several feet below and eleven feet above the water. A canal-like passage led from the gate to the castle steps, where guards were kept at all times. In this island home Thundercloud, with his servants and a .few followers, was well pro- tected, although few ever ventured to Doneraig Castle. Now this knight had a stable full of magnificent horses, which were the one pride of his life. To these alone he showed great affection. It was his favorite pastime to mount one of his steeds, especially Wfarwick, and sally forth with two or three knights of his order to roam over the country and engage in tournaments. One day on coming back from a pilgrimage, he learned something that threw him into the most dreadful rage possible. He had ridden Lightning instead of XVarwick. Now Wlarwick was gone! He flew at' the guards and accused them of aiding the thieves to escape with his favorite. They declared they knew not how he disappeared, and, as Thundereloud could learn nothing from them, he determined to set out in pursuit. He felt sure that XYarwick had been secretly stolen, because he was the horse marvel of the country. l-lis sleek black coat, well shaped body, small head, intelligent eyes and long, flowing mane, and tail made everyone envious of the Knight of Doncraig. Hasty preparations being made. Thundercloud, clad in black armour, set forth on horseback, alone, early the following morning. Not know- ing what direction to take, he decided to go to every tournament possible in the distant part of the country, where people would not be likely to know either of himself or his stolen horse. Nowhere did he meet with any encouragement, but he was deter- mined to tind XVarwick and to punish the thief or thieves. XYherever he heard that there was to be a tournament, he was sure to be there to see if his horse was in the combat, but he met only with disappointment. s However, one day after he had been traveling for about three months, he arrived toward sunset at an inn, where he decided to spend the night. Xafhile sitting by the tire that evening, hd overheard some men talking about arbeautiful black horse of superior type that they had seen about a. month before. Thundercloud thought that at last he had gotten on the trail of his horse, and, from what he overheard, he judged VVarwick's captors were heading for Blackstone Castle, across the border, owned by a famous old knight. Immediately the following day Thundercloud resumed his journey and in a week arrived in the vicinity of Blackstone. Now be -knew that Sl the Christmas Play in m 'B Q .2 lu In 'U -. O u E 9 ID ,- N.

His foreboding aspect aroused the suspicions of the guards when he appeared at the gate, but at last he was brought before the old knight, Sir Quentin. Thundercloud told him that he would like to become at knight under him, and Sir Quentin said that if he could overthrow his best knight in co1nba.t, he would have him in l1is service. The owner of the castle did not like the looks of Thundercloud, but he felt confi- dent that he would be overthrown and would therefore be compelled to leave. The time was appointed for that very day, and a fierce encoun- ter took place. Thundercloud was victorious! And so he entered into the services of Sir Quentin. S After the combat, as he was leading his horse to the stable, his hopes were high, for he expected to see VVarwick. Sure enough, there he was, looking as beautiful as ever, but his head was not held as high as for- merly. Thundercloud went toward him and called him by name. At once' his head went up, his ears 'were erect and when he saw his master, the intelligent animal tossed his pretty head and, with a little neigh of greeting, trotted up to Tlnmdercloud. If anyone had been watching this meeting, they would have XVO11- dered at the change that came over the dark face of the knight. It was absolutely illuminated with a glad light, and his tone in speaking to the horse was really gentle. Finally he left Vlfarwick and unsaddled his other horse, but he re- turned again to pat his favorite before going back to the castle. As he was crossing the court-yard, he saw the figure of a young woman glgide swiftly before him. He wondered who it could be, for he had seen only knights and serving men. ' That evening at supper, Thundercloud learned who the object of his curiosity was. Sir Quentin had spoken to one of the servants who left the room at once, and in a few minutes the door opened and the same figure of a young woman entered and advanced to the old knights side. It was his daughter. She was about twenty-tive years old, rather tall and Well built, with beautiful brown tresses and soft brown eyes, and a rosy complexion. She seemed embarrassed in the midst of so many men, but her father called the new knight and the two met. This knight had never paid any attention to the fairer sex, but he was struck with her beautyx and manner. He was thinking so hard of how he might win her that his face wore frowns, and she was frightened and left the room. After this Thundercloud forgot all about punishing the thieves, and instead determined to win this fair ma.id. He therefore tried all means of having another meeting. - A day or two later he entered the stable and saw Margaret, for that was her name, patting VVarwick. The two made such a pleasing picture that Thundercloud stopped and watched them. Soon she turned to go, but was startled when she saw him. She tried to hasten away but he called to her and asked her if that were her horse. Then she told him how Warwick had been bought by seine of her father's knights at a tournament. Thundercloud, on hearing this,'said that it was his horse that had been stolen, and she could tell by XVarwick's actions that this was so. They were often together after this and the gentle nature of the girl had a marked effect in softening the knight's quick temper. Some days they rode together over the valley, and so the days passed. Y 83 Finally Thundercloud asked Sir Quentin for his daughters hand. It was not the first time he had been asked the same question, but the for- mer suitors had not met with his approval. But Thundereloud, so com- pletely changed, caused the old knight to give his consent. I-le saw what a good influence his daughter had over him. After the marriage at Blackstone, they bade farewell to Sir Quentin and set forth for Doneraig with Margaret on XfVarwick. Their arrival Created a great sensation at the castle and in the surrounding country. No longer was the island castle a stranger to the outside world, but a place of great festiyity and rejoicing. No longer was there a. knight named '1'hundereloud, but instead Sir Recreatus, which 111621118 1'CC1'GZ1tCLl Favorite 3 Favorite Name Niek Name Saying Definition i Occupation W ' Learning arehitee Xlargaret ! iluxnp in the A quiet little miss ture especially de Reidnaner !l'eg ibneket! fond of anything.

Riegner To gaze at the toy window at Christmas, you see, ls for the poor child the only delight that can beg She presses her face so wistful and cold Against the smooth glass shielding these wonders of old. The magnificent doll, quite exquisite and fair, Has that which adds more charm-in truth 'tis her hair, Those silky line curls which seem really spun gold Might certainly have been taken from a princess of old. There are all those great treasures to both sexes so line, If I'd mention them all, there'd be quite a line. However, the skates, sleds and animals all form a part Of that inlinite power of Santa Claus' art. And then something else you'll surely recall ls the gorgeous tree with its tinsel and allg 'Twill be seen in the midst of these wonderful sights, Yet stands out like the first star seen in the night. Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperanco and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a. hundred virtues which the id le will never know. -Charles Kingsley.
