Havergal College Magazine ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS N.B. — Anonymous complaints or requests will not receive atten- tion. Do not waste ink, paper and time criticising other writ- ers. Questions regarding card-playing are not solicited in this department. B.C. — -Yes, the Bursar ' s office is often used as a pound. A worm ' s eye view can be obtained from floor of front hall, but we understand that the keyhole will shortly be enlarged to meet a growing demand. Small P. — No ; rice pudding is not served at the junior table every other day, but, as at Government House, on alternate Mon- days and Thursdays. Fifth Special. — Try salt or socla baths. Mustard improves the colour. Salt need not be rubbed on tails, as with sparrows, but gentle friction with fountain pen speedily restores animation. Holyrood. — The stain of Rizzio ' s life-blood still attracts tourists to this venerable pile. Similar effects can be produced on any oak floor at less cost, and with equally lasting results. Ad- dress, enclosing stamp for reply, Upper Third Form. M.C. — Your lots are worth $5 a foot. Only fair holding. There is little chance of a rise in that district. Cubicles. — The best view of visitors entering front hall is from landing above telephone box, either at full length, with head between balusters, or on hands and knees. Explain to Duty Mis- tress that you are getting a drink, and she will probably let you take your rest hour there. Exquiker. — Never send a query without your name and ad- dress. The father, mother, brother or sister of any person who has contracted the habit of eating ice-cream to excess, or any two clergymen or justices of the peace, may require the inspector for the district under the Ice-Cream License Act to forbid the sale of ice-cream to the person named. One sad day towards the end of March, Miss Iiolditch fell ill with a disease called Warch. Naturally doctors don ' t call it this ; But to invent a disease must reallv be bliss ! 51

Havergal College Magazine The fee I paid with gratitude. And then made up my mind : A kinder, clev ' rer dentist man I can ' t expect to find. Some time elapsed before I went To this good man again. With indigestion racked, I sought A specialist on pain ! He said, More teeth you want — that ' s clear. A dentist you must find. Oh, I have got a splendid man — He ' s clever, good and kind ! This time my dentist made me A dinner service new. Of golden plate, like royalty ; It does seem strange, but true ! That plate took all my pain away ; My gratitude was great. It seemed more like a miracle, So soon was I set straight. His gentleness was wonderful : Such patience, work and skill ! Oh, knowledge ! What a power thou art. Whether for good or ill ! Stern etiquette, I fear, forbids That I the name should tell Of one who so improved my looks That I ' ve been since a belle ! This rhyme at last is ended, The moral you will see : Go to the best of dentists, And vou ' ll rewarded be. C. H. G. Cubicles (8 p.m., stormy night) : Is that a man or a tele- graph pole peering up at our windows ? What is the police ' phone number ? 50

Havergal College Magazine UT710T SUMMER FUN Now that winter ' s gone and past, We have summer here at last; On the sidewalk we hear skipping, Little feet and laughter rippling. When the holidays have come, And high time it is for fun, Some off to the lakes go humming, Thinking of the good times coming. Then, hurrah for our hest sports, Swimming, diving of all sorts ; And launching sometimes is great fun, In the shade and in the sun. When there are regattas gay, People watching while Ave play ; And those joining in the races Are all aglow with happy faces. Xow the holidays are over, And a new leaf we turn over; Back to school again we fly To shun hack marks in vain we try. (We hope they do.— Ed.) Hermioxe Blackwood, Form IV. Pupil (who supposes the mistress, who has dictated at least twenty-five words, to he a hit of a mind reader) : ' ' Would you please pronounce the words did not get ? 52
