Dignified, jolly, musical, wasteful,-es- pecially with valuable time, is this brown- eyed maiden, who enjoys dancing and is always at ease even when her lessons are not prepared. How odd for her never to have a secret and to dislike dish- washing. M. M. B. ELVIRA ARNDT.

None of them have ever openly declared their sentiments, nor would it have any effect if they should do so, for one can readily see by Harold's determined air that his business is to be foremost in the procession. ETHEL DAVIS. Ethel has a very decided manner and likes to be ruler among her friends. Nevertheless, she makes friends easily and what is better, she has the knack of keeping them.
