-- Christmas, 1923 VOX LYCEI 37 then sit on the lid and smile. Neverthe- less, let us remember that happiness is more than the grin on our faees, it is the glory in our llE't11'iS. Life is such a little while, greet eaeh day with a happy smile. In the sunshine of to-day, forget the rain of yesterday. Life at best is 11ot so longg meet eaeh day with gladsome song. Let its glorious chorus rind tears and fears left far behind. A little song, a little smile, rights a day that might go wrong. The most priceless of our earthly pos- sessions is eharacter-eharaeter, which is made up of beauty, honour, purity and integrity, and whieh is woven first of the texture of silk, but gradually strengthens to the quality of steel. Character is our stoek in trade: the more of it a girl pos- sesses the greater are her faeilities for adding to it: eharaeter is power-is influ- ence. It makes friends. and offers a sure and easy road to sueeess. Every girl, in the world, wants to be beautiful-it is only natural that we should. If we aehieve beauty of eharaeter, that beauty will be ref'ler3ted on our faees, glorifying us.- Kind ness is the best kind of beauty, because it ineludes so many other varieties of beauty, sueh as sympathy, happiness, love, serviee and patienee. So just a little kind ness eaeh hour of the day, and we will grow beautiful as the days roll by. Wisdom is an important attribute to sueeess. I might have said knowledge, in- stead of wisdom, but, there is a dift'ereuee between them, as wisdom is the right use of knowledge: to know is not to be wise, but to know how to use knowledge is wis- dom. Therefore, we eau judge which is the better word to use. And as Solomon used to say, Happy is the one that iindeth wisdom. she is more previous than rubies, and all the things thou eanst desire are no-t to be compared unto her. Exalt her, enjoy her, and she shall bring' thee to honour. Let us paddle our own canoe: in the voyage of life our sueeess depends upon our own individual effort. Thero will be didieulties and dangers, shoals, and storms along the way. but without these life would he extremely dull. IVC- have started out on the adventurous voyage from the stream -of Childhood, along the river of Girlhood. out aeross tho oeean of XVomanhood, to the port we wish to reaeh: if we p1'ovision our eanoe with eharaeter, take wisdom as our compass, and happiness for a paddle, there is no reason why our voyage should not be a eomplete success, no matter how small the stream in which we make our start. In closing, may I say, Merry Clrristums Evervbodv and leave with you a few . , Q . lines from Kingsley:- 'tMy fairest child, I havo no song to give you: No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray Yet, ere we part, one lesson I eau leave you for every day. I'll tell you how to sing a elearer earol Than lark who hails the dawn or breezy down, To earn yourself a purer poet's laurel Than Shakespeare 's crown. Bo good, sweet maid, and let who will be eleveri Do noble things, not dream them all day long: And so make life, death, and that vast forever, One grand sweet song. The Flapper They ealled her a little flapper, But, why I do not know. I wonder if it is because ,She would rather go fast than slow. In the good old summer time, When the heat up in form, She usually wears her heavy furs, YYhy, surely not to keep wnrin? In winter, when the bitter air ls filled with falling snow, The little maid is clad in silk, But why, I do not know. In every school you see her, From seniors down to froshes, The only objeetion that I raise Is to those fiapping, slopping Goloshes. SARNIA C. I.
