And .Judith was Miss Morrow's little girl-and has been ever sincef' said Annie. That accounts for her being taken in A D A as the Faculty Pet. But when Jude put on her fourth expression, and began to blush, wentook com- passion on her, and Annie proceeded to tell what she knew of l9l 5 and its past behavior. The night before Founder's Day, we sat around this ,very table, planning how we were going to get our banner up. It was a hard fight, but we came-out on toppg and then the wedding that night. Will you ever forget.it? Wedding? said Mary, dreamily. I don't remember anything about a wedding. Of course you don't, said Ed, that was one of the many times when you were flitting around at Washington and Lee. By this time the delicious, penetrating odor of bacon and toast had brought Carrie, Eunice, and Berenice down from the hall above, two steps at a time. You think you're having a party, don't you? said Carrie, with a laugh all her own. Q .

Eunice, please give me, in a few brief sentences, your first impressions of this Class. I Well, the first thing I- would mention would be Muck's red hair, the second, Judithis effervescent puns, third, Burton's laugh, fourth, Bessie's fondness for 'Nights of Bliss',' 'then Dot and Ed's excessive Congeniality, Dabney's intellect, Annie's frank- ness, Mary's absence, Bee's fondness for book-agents, Dena's punctualit.y at breakfast, and your-H I I A Never mind about me, I said quickly.

I used to watch you all when I first heard I was going to be a Junior. You all always did so many clever things, and that Junior Play!

Have what?,' in a chorus from us. The caps and gowns! The Seniors can wear caps and gowns! Just about this time the slats in the sofa broke with pure 'joy, and the room was an uproar. I Isn't that wonderful? At last, after thirteen years of long waiting!,' At this thought, Judith and Dena, in a spasm of delight, began a Pavlowa dance inthe middle of the floor.
