Ai R' 3. ff ,-in .o,-f 'U 4D'g,lY 'C -' f Q Sanfa Haratiun Being a series of letters from Samuel I. Snooks to his pal, Mr. Kennielth Rutle.dge, Jr., 'The Evergreens, Berkely, L. I. Collected and Published by Mary Frances Lindsley, Ag4. Dear Ken, I guess you think I'm in jail for speeding, or dieiad-or something,-I haven't written you for such a long time. But my dad has removed his roadster from my possession because I ran down 3, crow in trying to avoid Mr. K. K. Klan, the new candidate for mayor. The cow was a greater loss to the com- munity than Mr. Klan would have been, and its owner saw my Dad. Now, he wont even let me drive a waffle cart. So I am not in jail yet, and, you remember, not 'elven your sister's cooking could kill me, so I am not dead yet. But I have been very illl, Ken, and it was from toverstudy. My sister says it was from overeating, but she is a fnelsh kid, Ken, and I feel much broltherly concern about her future. Any- how, my Mother says it was from overstucly, and what Mother says Dad says,-and the Doctor don't say anything. QSome- how I don't like that last phrase, Ken. It sounds ungrammat- icalg but I am so proficient in Latin and Greek that I have very little time for Englishj Well, anyway, Ken, Mother has suggestiesd that I go to the seashore -or country, and rest a while, now that my vacation is here. I would go to your house, Ken, but since I burned your barn down by accident, with those confounded cigarettes last summer, I feel I'd' better not come again and wear my I 12 THE ARGUS welcome out. My sister says it is as worn out as a pair of marathon dancing sllippers, lalready. I't's kids like her thalt make those reformer fellows criticize the pnelsent gene.ration's manners. Well, Ken, I am going to a swell seaside resort whe.re I will get heist and quiet, and have a gay time. But I'm going t-o take it very easy, as my Mother advises. Will write soon, old top, and how about a line from you? Your old pal, Sam P. S.-Do not lslhow this letter to your sister, because of refer- ence to coiofking. S. Dear Ken, Well, I am stopping at the Falter Inn, Banckroll Bluff, Mass. Aim surprised that I have not heard from you, but sup- pose you have been very busy since you graduated from Law School. I hate to tvhlink of you as 3, lawyer, Ken, fvovr you wene always such an honest, upstanding sort of chap, but I am not prejudiced, and you will always be my friend. There are a good many distingulishleld people here, Ken. There is a broker on his wfay to Sing Sing, and 3, bolotlegger on hisway to Fifth Avenue, and there was Rudolph Valen- tino. He stopped here for five minutes on Tuesday, while changing cars, and was senapshotted by all the Happers,-and signed 2,999 autograpihls. There are 3000 pe.ople at this resort, Ken, but the 3000th is old and crippled, and his six daughters and fifteen ,giranddaugihlters were too rushed to take his album with them. There has been an :epidemic of sideburns since Tuesday, and I am growing a pair. I think they look silly on him, you know, Ken, but they looked kind of Well on me, if I do say it myself. I walked into Cal Higgins' drug-store the other day, and a girl in a pink hat said, That's Rudlollpih Valiefnrtino, as sure as y1ou're born! So I turned around, sort of casual, and sfaid, I beg your pardon ? Q Strange to say, Ken, as soon as she recognizfexl me, she giggled so that her escort had to revive her with a nut sundae. I tak1el it, Kenfshe laughed from embarrassment, but I shaved off those sideburns as soon as I ,got home. R. V. is a fairly goodflloloking chap, Ken, but he has his faults, and I would rather be loved for myself alone. Anylfdow, imitation is flat- 13 THE ARGUS . tery, and I have n-ever flattered anybody, nor been flattered myself,-though my sister says the .photographer that mugged me whlen I sent my picture to Amy Thompson did. QYou remember Aimy, Ken. I decided she wasn't the girl for me when flier father threw me OE 'the front steps and? hurt my feelings, not to mention other parts of my anatomyj But you know enloeugh not to take much stock in what my sister says, Ken, after her preposterous staltement about my not be- ing welcome at your house,-just because your sister wrotle' her and said that I was the biggest fool she ever saw in her life. I realize that was just a little pleasanitry on your sistle1 s part, Ken, but my sister never could 'take a joke. Well, this has been a long letter, Ken, ibut I know -how intenested you ought to be in my afllaairs, fafter the yearszwe were at prep. school together, and I borrowed 90? of your all-owance. You were a good! soout, Ken, and some day I'11 pay you back when I can borrow a little from Dad. I-Ie's still mad about the cow, you know, and I don't dlare approach him. So long, old timer. Write sololn to Your Pal, Sam P. S. Do not sihioiw :this letter to your sister, because of reference to sideburns. She always said I was a fool, and I 'don't want to give her any additional evidence. s. J. Dear Ken, Just a line to slay I received your postcard. The picture. of the Berkely Bloiler Works impressed :me with its beauty and dignity, brightened by the crab-apple tree and mangy dog in the foreground. You did not ask me to write again, but I take that 'to be an oversight, iolr I know how invaluable I am to you. By thle way, -could you send me a fifty, old ohiap ?- my allowance is running a bit low. There is not much news. The Falter Inn is a pretty good hostelry,-serves prunes only six times a week. I often Won- der why in making entrance to a place of refreshment, one may tfoddle in, stumble, in, v1e1nture in, falter in, etc., but one's exit is never described. Perhaps this is due Ito a lack of var- iety. There is only one wlay to come out, and that is-broke. 14 THE ARGUS I am leading a lazy, carefree' life, here. My parents imposed on me when I was at home, Ken. Many a time I have been requested to wipe dishes or paint the. porch when I was so tired from doing nothing, I thought I should drop with exhaustion. My parents are well-meaning peo-ple, Ken, but they have been a great drain on my strength. Hoping you ane feeling fine, and can send the fifty, I remain, Your old pal, Sam P. S. Don't show this letter to your sister, Keng she always said I wasted my money. S. J. D-ear Ken, First, I want to acknowledge the re,oe'ipt of your two zbucks. It is not what I asked folr, but it will do. Now, I have some real news for you. I have met the only girl in the world. I-t was like this: I was going down to the beach to take a swlim, andl I passed a swldelt little white bungalow with vines growing all over it. There was 3 girl on the porch. She had gllolrious, red-gold hair. She was a. chicken, a pippin, a pea-ch, a looker, Ken! I suddenly decidleld that I had lost my way. I went up to the porch and noticed for the first time, that she was pairdting it. Such work for a woman, Ken! I beg your pardon. I said, Could you direct me to the beach? I'm a stranger here. Certainly, she answered, It's right over there beside the ocean. Can I give you any further assistance? Aren't you working very hard, such a warm day? That's a man's job. I remarked. I am having a lirttle trouble. It really is a man's job. Dlo you suppose you're equal! tlol it? she rejoined. Equal to it! Why I understand pordhles like a Congress- man undlelrstands politics. I've sat on a, front porch so many years that I could be elected president of the U. S. A. on the strength of it. The job is mine, fair lady. 15 THE ARGUS You're very fresh, shie said, But so is the paint. Go to it! It took me only thnele hours to paint that porch, Ken, and after that I wiiped two dinner sets as ian extra favor. By this time the sun had golne down, and likewise all the avail- able food at the Falter Inn, as I well knew. But it was worth it, Ken. The wonderful girl -came out and surveyed the results of my labor. You've wiorked harder 'than I ever could have imagined, she said. Would you mind coming back tomorrow, and mfclwing the lawn and sprayiing the rose-bushes, and fixing the shingles on the roof, and cle.aning out thief celler? It's too much for me to do allolnef' Will I? I carolled. just you watch my smoke! And I'm going back tomornonw, Ken, though tonight I am in bed with a severe attack of p'ainter's colic. Oh, Ken, can I wait till tom-orrow to dlo the trifling tasks my Princess sets mlel? Od's death, Ken! 'Tis too long! Your lovesick pal, Sam P. S. Do nloft show this letter to your sister because she mighft be sarcastic and call this puppy-love, when it is the agonized wailing of a lonely soul, Ken. S. Dear Ken, My heart is broken. I am 3 stricken man, Ken. I con- template suicide, but I am so hungry, I think I shall Wait till after dinner. She can never be mine, Ken! I must give account of the terrible happenings of this day, or I shall go mad. I :got up at six o'clock, and went to the dwelling of my divinity in my oldest clothes. She was ready for me, and I labored long and diligently, Ken, but her bright face was always near to encourage me. As I started to milk the cow, I mustered courage to say to her Cmy beloved, Ken, not the cowj that I had something 'to tell her. Is it important ? she asked, a trifle irritably. Gi colossal importance, I answered. 16' THE ARGUS Well, she said, could you defer the matter till this eve- ning, as I have so -much for you to do yet ? I had just finished building a new chicken-house, and de- cided to unburden my soul to my goddess,--at last,-when I heard her lgive a cry. I dashed to the spot with a hammer in my hand, and determination on my face. I found her-on the front lawn-with her glorious head resting upon the shoul- der of a fat, red-faced fellow whom I could have slain with a hairpin. But her cry was only joy, Ken, for she turned to me with a smiling face, and said, This is my husband, Mr. Snooks. I wanted to have the house and garden ready for him, as a little surprise, for we intend to have a lovely lazy vacation. Ted, this is my odd-job man. I hope you'll approve of his work. You-you-you're not married ! I sta-mmered. Doesn't it look like it? she returned. I won't need you any more, Mr. Snooks, and I want to settle up accounts. How much do you charge by the hour? Nothing! I replied, with quiet diggnity. It was purely a labor of love ! And I made her a low bow, and quitted her enchanting presence forever. I am stabbed to the heart, Ken, I who am acknowledged to be 'the brains of the family,--taken for an odd-job man and an idiot, too! If you do not hear from me again, you can have them drag the bay. Your unhappy old pal, Sam. P. S. DO NOT show this to your sister. She might say I told you so. Women always do. S. J. 17 THE ARGUS Elie iliuimian Heanant Editor's Note.: The following was the prize Winning essay for the term ending June, 1923. Ever since the revolution in Russia, the peoples of the whole wlorld are inclined to think of all Russia in terms of Red. There are no distinctions made between classes, but Revolutionists, Bolshevicks and Czarists-all are spoken of alike-all are reds. For all are Russian, and all things Russian are red. Even tihe peasant, the peaceful, childish peasant is pic- tured as a terrible monster-a bearded, bvoloted creature, with a bomlb under one arm, a knife in the other and a flag in his hat. In reality the peasant is as different from this conception of him as day is from night. He would most probably die of fright were he to see a bomb, and is much more interested in the weather than in plollitical affairs. Through all the revolu- tion and bloodshed, he has managed to retain his naive stolid- ity and unpnogressivenesis and ilsl still the same curious, inter- esting plodder he was eight years. ago. It is hard to imagine the squalor and poverty in which the peasant lives-rather, exists. The shack which he calls home, is of mud, generously beplastered with clay. The door, the sole means of vvelntilation, since the two tiny windows near tihre ceili- ing cannot be opened, leads into a room which is the dining room, kitchen, bedroom and parlor combined. Als the room is small, and the family very large, one can Well imagine: that con- ditions are not Very hygienic. The furniture, such as it is, con- sists of a wooden table, two or three home-made. stools and a stove. Queer to include a stove in the category of furniture !' But then this stove is not alt all ,like its American cousin. It is a huge structure of clay, filling1 about half the room, which serves not only as a means of cooking and heating but also as a place for sleeping. At bed time, the Whole peasant family, mother, father and babies, all pile up on the stove., curl up and fall fast asleep. But the stove is hard, and they have no mat- resses. So thlefy have hit upon a plan. They do not undress and so, not only protect themselves from the hardness of the clay, but save time besides. 18 THE ARGUS As if to make up for 'the sordid drabness of his home, the peasant wears the most picturesque and colorful of costumes. Outdoor life has brought it about that the peasant is usually tall, strongly built, with long brown hair, curling moustache, laughing eyes and gleaming white teeth. When he puts on his White linen shirt, tucks his bllue- or wlrite trousers into his shining boots and places a white straw hat on his curly hair, he. looks like a character stepped out of some old novel. In the winter, he dons a fur cap instead of a straw hat and a home spun ooat andf is all prepared for the coming frosts. Even more picturesque is the woman's costume. Her white linen smock is elaborately embroidered in red, black and blue. Her skirt of re.d or blue cotton is set off by a broad border of black wellvet. A bright colored kvelrchief covers her dark hairg her ears are weighted down by heavy brass earrings, and her throat is surrounded by numerous ropes 0-ii red and pink beads. She is barefooted in the summer and it is only in the winter that she dons a pair of queer rubber shloles. These with a cotton jacket and a heavy shawl ove.r her head complete iher winter toilette. Most of the peasants have but one costume which they wear day and night. But the more wealthy, have two, one for every day wear--thfe other for church and religious festivals. For the peasant is very, very religious. Every morning before he leaves for his fields and every night at :his return, he and his family offer up a prayer to God. Being Greek Catho- lics, they not only have beautiful, elaborate churches, but also a little shrine in each home. The Ikon, as they call it, is the lik1eaness of the Madonna holding the Christ Child in her arms, in front of which a little, oil lamp burns incessantly. It is before the Ikon that the peasant says Ihis prayers morning and night. just as it is one's duty to makiel the sign of the holy cross over 1one's body when p'assing la. church, julst so the omission of this ceremony in passing an Ikon would bring great disaster to the culprit, think the peasants. For his Battushka has duly im- pressed this on him. Battudhika is the name by which the priest is lovingly and respectfully called, which translated, means Little Father. The name is well chosen indeed. For his relations to his flock are those of a father to his family. He has the same powlefrs and duties, is at the same time loved and feared, his word is law 5-to the peasant, the supreme law of the land. 19 THE ARGUS The deep religious feeling would do much that is good for the peasant were it not for the appalling ignorance which accom- panies it and undoes all its good work. As there are no schools to which to send the peasant children, the peasant grows up totally ignorant. As a result, conditions' are unsanitary, illness is negle,c,ted and the deatlhf list is appalling. Ilt is igmoranoe that prompts a mother to give soaked coarse black bread to her new born babe to suck. It is ignorance that makes a woman paint her little, son red-to make the measlwels come vo-ut, as slhle said. It is ignorance that prompts parents to marry off their children at the age of fifteen and sixteen. Until this ignorance, the root of all lelvils, is even partially removed, the Russian peasantry will never make any progress. This same naivete of the peasant gives rise to many cus- toms-all amusing and curious-some Very charming. This very interesting old custom has been observed for years by the peasant. At the end of the summer, the boys and girls of a town who wisih? to marry, gather in a Held. The girls seat themselves in a circle and the boys lose no time in beginning the search for a mate. At the end of the day, half of the young folks are engaged. Before the marriage ceremony it is cus- tomary for the bride-to-be to visit all hle'r relaltives, kneel at their fe.ePt and receive a present of flax from, each of them. Then she must cook a meal for her future mother-in-law and if slhe passes this test well, the ceremony is performed. After this the bridal pair are conducted with great pomp to their home. No less interesting are the death customs. When a peas- ant falls ill, no time is losrt in trying to cure him, but prepara- tions for the funeral are at once begun. The. house is painted white, musicians are hired and food is prepared. Neglect, sfhleer fright, and the belief that he is going to die., hasten the death of the invalid and so 'the preparations are not made in vain. After the funeral a feast is made, all the re.lative's attend and eat and drink and make merry until the dawning of the new day. Quite a unfique way of showing grief, is it not? These, are but a few of the inherelsting peasanlt customs which are so numerous that it would be almost impossible for me to relate them all to you. Indeed, though books have been written about the Russian peasant, the subject ihfas not yet 20 THE ARGUS been done justice, and certainly I cannot even hope to tell all that there is of interest. Yet, if I have but aroused a desire to know more of this fascinating people, I shall have fulfilled my purpose.

S. 21 TH E A R G U S Heilrh iigvz The sun, slowly sinking in the heavens, was glorifying all the world in a last, supe.rb effort to win a ,gil-ance of apprecia- tion from the figure sprawling on the back porch of the little, weather-beaten house. But all the wonder of the dying day was wasted on the Bloly, 'whose 'heart and thoughts Werlez in the house next door. The Boy was seventeen and in love, This time, he felt, it was no puppy-loveg this was the lovtey of a strong man for a pure womang this was the love of a knight for his ladyg this was...But you shall hear and judge for yoursellf how great a love this was. There were sounds of rewelry coming from the parlor as, unconscious of what 'awaited him, he Ihlad dashldd lately up the steps of the house next door ion a visit 'to Heliotnope Roone, only to meet her at the top, lbearing sad tidings. My cousin's here, Jim, -how he loved the way she said his name- and slh:e's very shy and wfofn't come into the parlor without the others. Be a good sport and entertain lhler out here, she pleadleed. And, without waiting for an answer, she led him to the most secluded corner of the dark porch. The Boy changed a Dash lit all into a. pleased t-0 meecha, as he turned to fall hldad over heels in love with Uhme girl whom Heli- otrope was introducing as, My cousin, Carol Roonef' Shyly smiling, the new girl was drooping her eyelids and dropping an -old fashioned curtsy. cSW'0H1,t you sit down? she asked sweetly when Heliotrope had left them again. All through the evening, he sat by her side in the fragrant dusk, drinking in the beauty of her, the chestnut-bown hair, curling? softly around the white oval 'of her faceg the thick fringe of her long, black lashes veilingg her eyes from his sight and he knlew he loved ther andl had always loved her. When I was king in Babylon and you were a Chlristian slave, he quoted softly. . In dhle course of the, evening, she told hilm shyly, looking straight into the black night, that she was ia 'bit of a poetess. 22 THE ARGUS ln fact, she had had one poem accepted and highly praised in the Redmont Sentinel. After a little urging, she consented to repeat it to him. The Buoy could feel the pain in the eyes which he c-ould not see, could lhlear the catching sob in the vibrant 'voice as, in an adorable. whisper, she began the poem. Softly it came to his ears with the strumming of Heliotrope's uke in the parlor as an accompaniment. Waiting. A blaze of colxo-r on the ground, A deep blue in thse sky, A bubbling stream that from the mountains its source has found, Thus on that sad day was Mother Nature gowned. They sat within the arbor old, He was a soldier 'bound for Mars' grim war. He swore tlhlat he would love her 'till thre earth turned could And the sun shone no m-ore. He begged of her the rose which in her hair Modestly blushed. He pnefssed it to his lips, And then 'was gone. She waits for him and little thinks That on Mars' field he is doomed to die, That one day tihle rose., onoe' pressed to his lips, Will be stained with blood, and that blood his .own. A white haired lady now, She still waits on. For, 'thouugih she knows sihe will not meet him hue-re She tlhlinks of the next world and her heart is gllad. There was a long, sweet silence after this. Words seelmed so futile. The Boy felt a great ciovntielmpt for other boys, who could still sit on the porch steps and sing Ecstasy Before' he left, he had received Carol's promise to go canoeing with him at the picnic next Saturday. Now, Friday night, he was sitting on the porch steps musing on his lady lovlel. Had slhle violet eyes, or gray eyes, or brown with golden glints, his maid of the daolwncast eyes? The question troubled him. He must find out to-morrow. 23 THE ARGUS Thalt night, before going to bed, lhe made elaborate prep- arations. He determined that his curly hair, the bane of his existence, should be as smooth and glossy as Rudolph's own for the morrow. First, he plaste.red it down witlhi a jar of vaseline, and then he put on the tight skull cap he had made from an old stocking. In the morning, he would try the new stuff he had bougfhvt. Stay Groom, they called it. ' He awoke early the next morning with a song on his lips. The weatihler was beautiful. It was an ideal day for canoeing. Slowly and carefully, he slid off the cap. There lay his hair, smooth and shining. Anxiously, he applied Stay Groom. Would the hateful curl return while, he was working? But no, his hair was stilvl smooth at the end of the operatiio-n. Then came the crucial moment. Which tie should he w1e'ar, the crimson and orange, or the black and white? VV7ould the black and white look too subdued with the blue jacket and white trousaeirs he intended wearing? Did he need somethingg to liven it up? He 2g7uessed lhye did. He w1o1re the crimson and orange. With the prayer in his heart, Please, God, watch over my hair, he approached thief chattering group about Carol at the picnic grounds. About a dozen boys were gathered around' the shy girl, who kept her eyes: fixed on the earth, all sfhlouting requests for hier oocmpany in a canoe. I'm sorry, slhfe was saying, gently, I've promised jim. -How hiel lovedl the way she said his name! I've pnolmised -lim to go canoeing with him. Proudly, Jim bore her off from his crestfallen rivals and sleated her on a mound lof cushions in 'his canoe. Swiftly he paddled 'till they were out of sight of the rest of the picnickers and then he ceased his mighty labors. Slowly they drifted down the stream, Carol prattlingi softly all the while. What a pw1etty tie, she was saying, but oo hathn't put it on wighlt. Let Carleen fixth it. She stood up before he could shout a warning and splash, over went 'the canoe. When the Boy reachferd the surface again, Carol was no- whene to be seen. With -clammy fear clutching at his heart, 'hle trod water furiously, his clear eyes piercing the depths for the probably helpless Carol. Ah, there she was. She had just reached thie surface for the third time. With clean, swift 24 THE ARGUS strokes, the Boy swam to the unconscious girl. Then, in the approved manner, he began rescuing her. Slowly, but surely, he approached the, bank of tihfe river, until, at last, he felt the solid ground beneath his feet. Tenderly, he took her in his arms and carried her ashore. In the shade of an old green oak he laid her down. He knew she wasn't dead because she was breathing. Suddenly, hlel began to wonder if that curl had come back to his hlair. But her thick lashes were fluttering. Now he would' see what coulor her eyes were, violet, gray, or brown with golden glints. His maid of thlel downcast eyes! The Boy sat breath- less as the long, fringed lashes slowly slipped back from her white cheeks and disclosed to him for the first time, tlhxose eyes. But suddenly the earth blackened, withe.red, and died. Empires came crashing down about his ears, There was no joy left in anything. She was cross-eyed! Etta Miller, Ag7 -.1i,...l Dear untaught genius with the puzzled eyes That scan a world which shofuld in homage bow, Dear gientle, rude, intvollerant, kindly one Whose soul is music, and wlhlose heart is gold, I see your fingers groping on the keys- Short, thick, work-blunted fingers in whose. tips Chainlesd melodies beat vainly on cruel gates, And will nlolt die, 'but riot in your soul. I wlatch yiour dnotoping head, your erring hands That prayed for music, but were stricken dumlb. VVe two togethiewr make a sytmphony- My unshed piltying tears, your silent song. Charlotte H. Hochman. 25 THE ARGUS Qlhikn The steaming jungle was awakening to the first peep of sunliqgfht. The gaudy parakeets screeched their wieilcome to the rising sun. An o-ccasional lazy roar was heard far off and nearer still, a good many hungry ones. The mo-ist, verdant foliage grew even moismelr in the early llight and tihfe hundred odors of the tropical day sprang into sudden existence. Down from one of the topmost trees scampered a little, brown crea- ture. From bough to bough hie swung, now clinging precari- ously to a tiny limb with his long tail, nccaw missing a branch altogether and dropping six or eight feet 'before regaining his h-old on some limb. Finally he reached the ground and ap- peared illuminated by the ned sun whicih gleamed bl-oody in the tiny clearing. He was a little fellow with lforng brown hair which shone red-gold in the sunlight. His tail, by far the most extraordinary feature about him was much -like an animated piece of manilla rope. His tiny red' eyes sparkled with mis- chief and indeed, his whole face was expressive of devilment. He grimaced and squeaked with his little mouth' and' finally, taking fright at some strange, sound, Hed through thief jungle. This little fellow was Chiko, ltihe worst monkey in his entire neighborhood, that is in his home-tree. Chiko was mis- chief-bent that hot morning but, poor little rasclal, ill luck was indee.d about to befall him. All morning he played in the jungle, now throwing hard nuts at so-me passing le1oSpard, or other animal, which was not likely to give pursuit, now chasing his tail up among the treiel-tops. However, Chileofs evil spirit was looking down upfon him when he seized an extra larg1e:, hard nut and hurled it at an approaching body, scarcely visible among the huge, concealing leaves. The forest was rent with a 'hideous roar and Chiko, to his evielrllasting hornor, beheld a giant gorilla, a Very, very angry gorilla, raise himself up on his hind legs and glare balefully at the tiny miscreant. For a moment the poor little fellow was too frightened to do ought but crouch on his limb, his tefesth chattering and his body shiv- ering in terror. Then as he beheld the enraged one about to mount in pursuit little. Chilqo reczovered all of This nerve and 26 THE ARGUS just a wee! bit of his naughtiness along with it. Making a fear- ful little grimace at his pursuer he started to run through the tree-tops. And so began a chase such as monkey-land had never be- fore seen. Thief enraged gorilla became a little more enraged each time he just 'missed his prey, while the bold Chiko be- came just a little bit bolder eaqhi time he eluded his pursuer. Up and down the aerial paths of the jungle they swung. Chiko knew enough to keep to the slendlelr branches and the very ends of the stout ones which could not hzold his heavy pur- suer. He laughed and chattered with delight to see Ih-ow thle big .gorilla was forced to keep to the large boughs for fear his -great weight wlo-uld cause some branch to bneak and send him into oblivion with the memory of that chattering rascal hot in his brain. All day the chase continued. At length, however, as the tropical sun began to sink in the west, li'ttle Chiko began to realize that he could mot go much farther. Less 'and less fre- quently did he turn back to taunt his enemy. More and more often was hiei forced to go out on branches so slender that they could hardly support even him. Finally, it came to an end, but a most unexpected one both to Chiko and! to tlhle big gorilla and to someone else, tovo. The liUtle monkey, at the last of his resources, found himself at the tip end, of a slender bough with no other within swingjing distance. Slowly his enemy grasped the bough on which Chiko- was seated and swung it, first gently then wi-th increasing velocity. Ohiko saw that the end was near and tried to prepare for it as blest he could. He re-mem- bered his home-tree, his scolding mother, and his fearful father with an unprecedented tendernlelss. He. hoped that the gods would forgive his mischief especially the time when he hung lhis little sister by the tail over a waterfall and thiern the time when he stole all his brother's bananas and his brother had none all day and the time when- Crash! down went the limb and down went a little brown ball of fur, down, down, spinnring as it fell straight into the arms of something soft and wanm. Obviso-usly, thought Chiko, the igods had forgiven 'hfis sins and he was in the Banana For- est, the Elysian field of monkeydom. But, alas, as he was about to rise, a hideous, earsplitting roar, accompanied by a flash of fire, pierced thief depths of the silent jungle. Chilcoa Z7 THE ARGUS popped open his eyes just in time to see the gorilla descending by the same route which he, had taken a felw moments before. For a moment Chiko stared at him in fascination. Tlhaen he became aware of his surroundings and made a vain endeavor to leap from the arms which held him captiv1e4. He soon ceased his efforts, exhausted, and regarded his captor with fear, not unmixed with curiosity. This certainly was a strange Person who held him. Chiko hadf seen native.s befoneq but never had he seen such a person as this. Why, he was white, and he had long, golden hair and blue eyes, and a gentle voice with which he frequently addressed another man, calling him lhiusband. I-Iow very odd, how very funny, and Chiko laughed in delight. The lovely voice said, Why, you darling little fellow. Oo 'itty bitty piece of sweetness. Teddiy, dear, we will just have to ksefep him flour a peft vor I wlll go straight home. W0n't stay another minute. Fine chance you'd have to go straight home from here, ten tihousand miles from nowhere, Judy, honey, boomed a big voice near Chiko's ear. However I wouldn't risk it so I guess we'll have to keep him. And so Chiko found himself in a tiny white tent, just full of queer things and queer noises. He soon learnled to love the funny, little man, Judy, with the gentle voice and the big Teddy with the booming voice. And, later, when th1e'y took Chiko back to America with them he, didn't miss his native jungle in the least, for there were so many strange things to be investigated and so many funny things to be laughed at that little Chiko is doing it, still.

Oh, how deliciously we would shiver revelling in the horror of the tale! We would glance fearfully at the danc- ing: shadows, at the flickering flamifls, half believing that t'he were-wolf would suddenly step from nowhere into our midslt. Now, as I tell the story, old childish fears haunt me--but there, I am too old for such nonse.nse. It is Hallowe'en, a time when restless spirits roam the earth, a time of magic, of evil. .AL young man sits in his room. Outside, the wind moans and sobs. He shivers. It is hard to concentrate wlhlen one is cold and hungry. A baffled expres- sion is on his face as he strugglfens to capture elusive inspira- tion. Oh! How can he be inspired? Ideas slip througlh, his mind, elude, 'mock him. Through the window stream twin bars of moon-light. Ghostly arms, they beckon him, lure him, out- side into the black night where. unihioly magic is at work. The young man oblefys the .silent call, 'and hatless rushes lotuft into the street. Pedhaps, he thinks, in thlew beautiful night, his dis- 'ordered thoughts will! right themselves. In a coma, he walks the darkened streets, not knowing or caring which way his steps lead him,-up one street, down another, across. At last he stands in a deselrted little park. It is flooded by moronlight. The moonlight falls over the cracked pavement in fantastic designs, it clothes the bare trees: in radfianceg it sheds over an ugly, battered, marbllel statue its golden glow, transforming it into a 'thing of warm, living glory. There is a bench, half splaslhued by tmoeounlight, before the statue. He sinks into it and drinks in the beauty of the scene. How long he remains there thus enraptured, he does not know. Suddenly he feels as strange iniiuence. Somlething imnpels him to turn. He sees a 29 THE ARGUS huddled heap at the. other end of the bench. It stirs, and he sees a face of such weird beauty -that he cries out involun- tarilly. Slhlef smiles and moves towvard him. Soon, they begin to talk. Of him, they talk, of his work, his desrires, his ambi- tions. Slowly, the moon is waning. It goes b-ehind a cloud as, simultaneously, they rise. He turns, and without one back- ward glance moves away. She stares at him as he walks and a mocking smile curves her red lips. Another fool, slhie thinks. The moonlight has gradually faded from tihie statue, and left it-a bare, ugly, fact. The woman looks at it, and' stibl smiling, thinks of what she has done. Slowly, she fades from sight into the now dim moonlight, but the memory of that taunting smile seems still to remaiin. And he, walking hicime with his head in the clouds, his feet scarcely touching the ground. Whlat a proud mad feeling is throbbing through him! What elation is his! The moonlight is dancing before him in dazzling patters, is clutching his heart with tiny fingieirs. And yet it seems to laugh at him. Now, the moon is hidden behind a gauzy cloud. With the light gone the night no longer fascinates lhlimg he goes home. He sfeats himself at his desk and, almost without any eifort on his part, words present themselves to him and form themselves into throbbing, living sentences. All night he writes feverishly and when dawn steals in, she finds him slieleping, pen in hand, still clutching the precious manuscript, a masterpiece in which youth, and love, and moonlight are all glorified in living, burn- ing sentences. He mails thiei poem and lives only for the hour when he shall hear the glad news that it has been accepted. At last, a letter comes. With trembling hands, he tears it open. Yes, they have accepted it, they want more.. But to- day, 'hae will not write. There is always plenty of time to-mor- row. To-morrow croniweis, and to-morrow but he cannot rise t0 the heigihrtsi again. His poems are accepted merely :ofn the merit of the first,-his only great one. After a while these Poems too are uefturned to him. He does not understand. He had thouigiht to be of the immortals, and now ........ He thinks back on that magic night when the fire of genius ran in lhuis veins. lt all seems fantastic, ia dream. How is he to know that the were-woman has led him on, and for a moment imbuied him 30 THE ARGUS . with the sparkle of genius, and then mocked, llaughed at him? Now all through life he will remember that for a brief lhlour he was famous-but 'twas only for a brief hour. His eager lips have quaifed one draught of the brimming cup of inspiration, and then the cup has been dashed to the ground by a cruel hand, while he blindly gropes for it in the dark. And the werel- woman laughs. Can this be true? you ask. Ah, strange things happen in the moonlight. Draw clloser around the fire and let us have another story, ene' the light goes out and we are left in dark- ness. - Hilda Abel, Ag7. illrinarh Oft I remarked how many number those, Who starting in the race lhlave failed to gain Their longed for goalg whuo spite the.ir work and pain, And ever toiling upward, at the close Learn all too late he does not reap who sows - For in its mercy Fate will still restrain Each man, leisft fhe all glory should attain.- !! Are they then fools to try since thus it goes? So did I cry and swift my answer came: To win or lose is but the smallest part To those the players in lthis mighty game. Content are they with only their own art, Content are they witfhout the crown of fame., If but they rise in their own mind and heart. Leah Jonas, A7 31 , 4 'Q .. ..

' My voice is very small and shrill, But his is gruff and deep: And he smokes Camel cigarettes- And snores when he's asleep! He wears a belted Norfolk coat, A green Fedora hat- And he puts suet on his hair To make it lie down flat. He plays the Ukelele, too! And all fthe girls flock 'round him: And when he does the latest steps- The fellows want to pound him! I 'don't believe there's anything My brother doesn't know: Why, he can take a frog apart, To see what makes ift go! My brother speaks live languages, And reads 'em when they're dead: I don't see how he carries all His knowledge in his head! In History, he knows lots of things I never heard at all- That Caesar crossed the Rubicon, And France was once called Gaul.. . .. But I know something he can't find In any musty book- Thazt fairies sail in curly leaves, Adown our little brookg And when the new moon paints the glade With trembly silver light, They dance in rings, until the sun Has chased away the nightg And that in Winfter, when the snow Has covered up the ground, St. Nicholas comes to our house, And never makes a sound- But fills my stocking to the top, From a huge, bursting pack He carries down our chimney-Hue Upon his sturdy back ............ So, sometimes,-when the twilight comes, I hear my brother sigh, When lilacs brush against the porch, And bees hum slowly by,- And Mother takes me on her lap, In the big wicker chair, And I can lean my face against Her honey-colored hair ........ At dusk,--my learned brother thinks That he would like to be What he can never be again,-- A little boy,-like me! MARY FRANCES LINDSLEY, Ag-1 33 T H E A R G U S 69:1 fllllg Biztant Qlhilhhnnh It is a rainy evening, and I sit at the table half-heartedly skimming my Latin. Virgil prates cheerily on in language beyond my understanding. I strike a snag, and closing my book, decide to meditate. Very well, but on what am I to meditate? I look up, and begin to hear my little sister dron- ing her sevens beginning with two, and my little brother wrestling with three barrels of apples at four dollars and ninety-eight cents apiece. I am suffused with inspiration- the relentless rhythm of the rain is hasheesh to my mind-I shall meditate on my own distant childhood. I see a tall, thin kid, with longi straight braids and muddy elbows. I particularly remember the elbowsg they were my mother's despair. As for features, they are an indeterminate composite of what I thought I looked like-I believed I was so beautiful that people turned around in the street to look at me-and the homely, gawky agglomeration of angles that a photograph shows. My life was full of glorious amlbitions, romance, and ad- venture. The grand passion did not pass me by. Ah, no! Roseate dreams of marrying a candy-store man filled me with' bliss. I saw myself shooting soda-water into a glass, stirring it officiously and sliding it across 'the counter as if I had slung sodas all my life. And perhaps-perhaps I might even marry a circus owner! Watch the elephants play baseball, watch the monkey give the bear a shave and hair-cut, watch all the Positively Last Performances of Mlle. Petite-every clay-pink lemonade-pop cornr-But this verges almost on the impossible. The child is essentially a lover of the spectacular, and I was no exception to the rule. How often have I seen myself scale impossible walls, almost imperceptible crevices affording secure steps for my nimble feet, the house bursting with Hames, the walls threatening any second to cave in all about me! Thus have I climbed forty-seven-count 'em-forty-seven stories, and, amidst the plaudits of 'the mob, rescued the help- less infant from its cradle. It should be firmly established in the reader's mind that the mob, plaudits and all, is an indis- pensable property. When I was the burly bystander who stops 34 THE ARGUS the runaway horses half an instant before they reach the group of happy children, when I was the football hero who makes the agonizingly necessary touchdown, when I was the strong. silent secret service agent, a terror when roused,-I usually had a mob, and plaudits. I was always interested in science. I had a deep-seated craving to review the ranks of sailors on board some ship, and to stick a pin in the chest of each sailor as I passed him, to see if it would explode. ' Reading produced an important effect on my mind. Con- sider such phrases as these: Colonel Hetherington, do you realize that you are attempting to bribe a bonded representative of the express company? They enflamed me with the ambition to be, some day, a bonded representative of the express com- pany. And if I only had Colonel Hetherington around, I'd show him! And also, Squire Hetherington, think again 'ere you strike this fearful blow. Remember, I am the sole support of my widowed mother. Harm me, and you kill her. And again, Colonel Hetherington, you have done awful deeds in your life, but I forgive you, and I hope you will be a better man. This beautiful speech of forgiveness ennobled my soul. But one cannot always be a trusted representative of the express company. Sometimes smuggled-in literature gave me an intimate knowledge of the fascinating mazes of crime. Then did I revel in such phrases as, 'Bang, bang,' spoke his trusty Colt, and another redskin bit the dust. I proceeded in im- agination to emulate the exploits of the train-robber hero, to exceed them even, to become, in a word, that past master of crime, that glorious wretch, Bloody Blake the Blucoats' Blight. How thrilling it was to hiss in my safe-cracker apprentice's ear, If that bull squeals, plug him full o' holes. Oh unutter- able joy! an -k ar :r The rain has ceased, the picture gone. But what is this! 1 see myself stepping out before a curtain, my arms full of roses, to take my 'steenth bow, and to tell my dear audience that I really can't 'give any more performances of Queen Elizabeth, because I must hurry up and go to Europe to tell seven dukes and the Prince of Wales that I want not marriage, but a Career-and I wonder if I am not still a child! CHARLOTTE H. HOCHMAN. 35 THE ARGUS A Mhnat Stung All three of us felt mischievous, Delia, Mange, and I. Some- quite exciting enough for do something really thrill- agree upon what we'd do. how, that summer, lthinigs we-.ren't our lively spirits, so we dfe'cided to ing. It didn't take us very long to lt was something we had always talked of, ever since our fam- ilies had begun to make a habit of spending the summers at Stony Creek. And this was our plan. Stony Creek, you see, is a village on Uhe Sound, and there are dozens and dozens of small islands all around, and it was one of these upon which we centered our attention. This particular island was said to be haunted, and it was indeed a hair-raising tale which the natives had to tell of this place. I don't recall the details of the story, exactly, but I do remember that a man who once lived there, killed his wife, and threw her body into the Sound, and then, when his crime was detected, had kille.d himself, and ever since then, anyone who s-tayed in that house over night, would see his ghost roaming through the dese.rted rooms, hear sighs and imoans, and then the report of a pistol !-but no one had ever stayed to hear more than that. Well, we three, Delia, Marge and. I decided to spend a night in that haunted house, and we made our plans accord- ingly. We would go that very niglht-lest our courage fail us 'before another day had passed. We parted soon after to gain consent of our parents, and gieit together a few 'blankets and some food. The latter articles were procured easily enough, but to get the consent of our parents was harder than we had thought. After a good solid hour of coaxing in each home, we had succeeded in making no headway, except to receive the answer- You 'may go, if De1ia's mother lets her go and you may go, if Marge's mother lets her go and so on. But we were not to be daunted, so finally, the thnele of us together, after another hour of combined coaxinig and plead- ing, persuaded 'my mother to say yes and the other two reluctant consents came soon after. Our joy and excitement knew no bounds, and we felt no less triumphant than three Napoleons, after 3 great victory. Our brothers teased, of course, and everyone who heard of our plan looked doubtful - 36 THE ARGUS and usually said something like, when it begins to get dark, you'll think better of it, but that only made us all the more determined and we all felt as Delia did, when she said defiantly, we'll just show them that we mean what we say. So, with suppressed excitement we waited for the, five o'clock whistle, and at length it blew. We didn't waste much time after that, but hurriedly bade our anxious parents good-bye, and before many minutes more, we were pushing our boat off tihe shone, and starting toward the haunted isle. We took turns at rowing, and in about fifteen minutes we had reached our destination. The island was small and bleak. It had no grass or trees growing upon it, only the thre.e-storied, weather- beaten, gray, desolate old house. We found a little sandy spot, and pulling our boat up on the sand, scrambled over the rocks as well 35 we could with our arms laden as they were with blankets and food. VVe had visited this island again and again, and had investi- gated every nook and corner of it, although we had never ventured inside the house. But we knew that it was all boarded up, save one little window near the ground, and it was through this that we now climbed, and found ourselves in a rather small room. It was completely furnished, and we could plainly see that the last occupants had made no prepar- ations for departure, for many things lay carelessly about the room, just as thougih- there were someone living in it at that moment. Only, the spiders and dust had taken full possession of the place, for the.re wasn't an inch of surface anywhere, that was not covered 'with about two inches of dust, nor was thene any corner or piece of furniture, which had no web to boast of. Consequently, it was not long before all three of us were similarly covered from head to foot. After investigating everything carefully, and finding no foot-prints or linger-prints, as we had lhoped, we pushed the door open, and found ourselves in a hall. There were two other doors on that Hoor, one of which was locked, while the other led into a small kitchen, where some dishes stood on the table. Everything suggested a.hasty departure. Come, said Marge let's go up-stairs. No sooner said than done.-We took each other's hands, not because we were afraid, oh no! but just to feel that we were close together- 37 THE ARGUS and went up the old, rickety, creaking stairs, and found our- selves on the second floor hall, with four closed doors staring us in the face. We stood still for a moment, and listened--no sound.-Each one of us simultaneously breathed a sigh of re- lief and then burst out laugihing. But instantly, we stood ter- rified-what was that awful sound? Our grasps tightened and we looked at eadh' other, three frozen statues, but then as the sound died away, we giggled, for it was just the echo of our laugh, ringing through the desolate place. We moved toward the nearest door, and tried to open it, but it was locked, we tried the second and third doors, but they were likewise unmovablwe. Our spirits rose, however, when the fourth door yielding to our efforts moved squeakingly on its hinges. VVe saw no ghost, no chains, no pistols lying about but just an empty room, with four blank +walls. This is where we'll stay said Delia, see, we'll spread our blankets on thze floor-here. We were all tired and excited, and glad of an opportunity' to rest, so we spread out our blankets, opened our baskets and ate a hearty meal. It was rapidly growing dark, and by the time we were through e.ating we could see the other side of the room only indistinctly. We had planned to go upstairs, to explore that floor too, but we gave that idea up, because we were beginning to feel uncomfortable, although none of us would admit it. Wie bolted the door from the inside, and then cuddled close together near the window, where a few rays of light streamed through the cracks in the wood. VVe talked cheerfully, laughing at everything we could, to keep from feel- ing frightened. We decided to divide the night into three watches, one from nine to twelve, the other from twelve to three, and the tlhfird from three to six. Then we drew lots. Delia was to watch Hrst, I next and Marge third. The time dragged along very slowly until nine, 'when We slettled down in our blankets andptried to go to sleep, but although we were tired, it wfas quite useless, and we could see that Delia wanted' us to stay awake. It was about eleven, when I lin-ally dozed off int-0 a light sleep. Promptly at twelve, Delia woke me., and for half an hour or so, we talked in low tones. She had heard nothing, but the Ihowling of the wind and a few soundsa that were probably imagined. Finally, both Delia and Marge. fell asleep. I huddled up close to them, and shut my eyes 38 THE ARGUS tightly, because when I opened them, I imagine.d that I saw all kinds of weird figures dancing about, so I preferred to keep them closed. 5The wind whistled and howled dismally around the old house, and I lhleard all kinds of queer, unearthly sounds. After what seemed like hours, I suddenly heard a door slam- bang! I jumped, and Marge and Delia stirred uneasily, but did not wake up. My heart was pounding violently, and I tried to calm myself by reasoning that it was probably the wind slamming the kitchen door shut. Most likely, we had left both the window and the door- open. Butewhen- I heard a second door slam, I was perplexed, and decided to wake the girls. Delia, Marge I whispered, as I shook them both, wake up, I've heard two doors slam, listen, I've heard two doors- but by that time, they were wide alwake, and I had no sooner told them about it, when a third door slammed, this one louder than the other two. We were frightened stiff. Delia had the presence of mind to light a lantern that we had brought with us, and the shadows of the flames, Hickerinlgj around the walls, were enough to send chill after chill down our backs. For once, I believe, we were having excitement enough, even to satisfy our adventurous souls. We sat that way, with our arms entwined for hours-it seemed like years,-until finally at about five, some gray streaks of lighft came slowly through the cracks in the window. Things began to look brighter, and we wvekre all in the best of spirits when suddenly-we were turned to stone, terrified--for through the whole house, the report of a. pistol resounded, and then came a loud crash, followed by another. We jumped to our feet, and stood petrified. The crash was very near, it couldn't have been further away than the next room, and sure enough, there, from 'beneath a door which we had not noticed, but which evidently led into one of the rooms, which were locked from 'dhe hall, a stream of blood came trick- ling into our room. We screamed, and then with one accord turned and fled. Not a word was spoken until we were out upon the water, at a safe distance from the shore. Then Delia said gracious! and We all laughed hysterically. The sun was just rising, and a light mist was lifting from the water. Every minute we could see, Stony Creek more dis- tinctly with its church steeple rising majestically above the lined roofs. We neached shore after ten minutes of furious rowing, and 'dhen without much more ado, betook ourselves to 39 THE ARGUS our respective homes and beds, glad to be back safe, under shelter again. Our parents had suspuected this more or less, and we were allowed to sleep undisturbed until early in the afternoon. At about two o'clock, we three met, and considered what was to be done. It seemed foolish then, in broad day-light, to have run away, and we were determined to return and in- vestigate. Our mothers at first Hatly refused to allow us to return, and most likely, if we had not left our blankets theme, probably would not have consented, but as it was, after get- ting tvvo 'men ito go along with us, armed with pistols, we were allowed to go back and see whedher our eyes had deceived us, or not. Everything downstairs looked just as when we had last seen it, and as we opened the door leading into our room as we called it, there was the strleam of blood reaching half way across the room. We started-all of us-it was such a dread- ful sight, and then we advanced to the door opposite, from whence the tell-tale stream issued. We made a perfect picture of intense expectation, as we stood there, 'the two men witfh their pistols all set toward the increasing crack in the door as Delia slowly, slowly, drew it open an inch, and then suddenly flung it wide open! And what do you suppose we saw?--a pantry filled with jars of jam, some of which fermenting had burst open, and the jam had streamed down upon the floor, flowing on under the door into the next room.

M., D6 41 1 Pm limharranaing Hiumrnt Billie's heart sank. He was sure his ears grew red. Oppo- site him, the girl whom he had taken out, kept up a steady stream of conversation, while, at intervals, she sipped her soda. At that particular moment, her listener was absolutely unaware of her words. He' had no more idea of wihat she was saying, than he had of how to procure a sufficient amount of money to pay their check, which was one dollar and seventy- five cents. By taking a sly peep into his pockets, Billie had found the extent of his finances to be just one dollar and a half. He thought of everything from bribing the waitress to robbing a bank and pictured his parents coming to bail him out of prison. But all this brought him nowhere., and Ruth. the girl, still blissfully unconscious of Billie's predicament, had almost finished her soda. Billie .catched the contents of the glass become lower and lower, while with each sip, his heart grew heavier and heavier. Suddenly, he had an inspiration. Ruth he gasped, as, under cover of the table, he carefully placed his watch in his overcoat pocket, my watch is gone ! Immediately, Rutlhi became' sympathetic. VVhat a shame to lose that beautiful watch. Go right out to the newspaper stand where we bought the magazine. You took your watch out there, and perhaps you left it on the stand. I'll wait here fcr you. 42 THE ARGUS Once in the street, Billie was at a loss to know what to do. He appeared so bewildered that a policeman approached him, and askled if he could lhelp him in any way. After this, Billie thought it more prudent to keep moving. He walked aimlessly to the corner, and suddenly -thouigyht of a friend, who lived about half a mile away. He would be. only too glad to lend him the nfefeded money. jumping on a street car, he soon reached the house, only to be told by the care-taker that the family 'was gone for the week-end. Billie turned away in despair. What a 'predicament to be in! Then he had an ide-al Why had he not thought of it before? He would go to his father's office. Once again he boarded a trolley and reached the office breathless. In ten minutes, with the money safely in his pocket and the watch back in its accustomed place, Billie was on his way back to the restaurant. Ruth said he had been rather long, but she was delighted to see that he had recovered the lost watch. They were ready to go. Billie proudly handed the Waitress one dollar and sfelvent-five cents. What was his surprise, when she handed him fifty cents change.! Once again, he. looked at the check. Oh! He had confused the amount of the check wit-hi the check nu'mber. The bill was ag dollar and a quarter.

I stopped and as I had expected, the unfortunate stranger was tickled to dwelatlhl with my offer to aid him. I took off my coat, brought a few tools and began to work. We chatted together, and as I was in no hurry, I was perfectly willing to spend the afternlofon doing a kind deed. However, the time passed rapidly and as it was growing dark and the task nearly completed, I 4thou,g1ht I had better be moving along. I put my hand in my pocket to draw out my watch when I discovered it was not in its usual pla-ce. In fact it was not in any of my pockets! During this process of pfokzket-hunting, it suddenly dawned on me Ithat my companion's idea of working on my sympathy, was a very clevwelr method of relieving me of what few possessions I had with me. I thought quickly. Wlh'at could I do? This bandit was probably anmed. I was weapon- less. At last I hit upon what proved to be a very good scheme. I turned and said to my companion. I think I have a tool in my box that will make this loads easier. I'l1 skip over and get it. My companion nodded with what seemed an abrupt Thanks, I Went two' my car and took out a tool somewhat resem- bling a pistol. It had one blunt end which I put up my sleeve, and as ilt was twilight, it could not be mistaken for anything but the wielapon I wished it to resemble. I went across the road, faced the stranger, saying as bravely as possible under the circumstances: Give me that watch and be quick about it. My arm wfas cracking from its cramped position. To my great delighlt the man, frightened to dlelath, put his hand into his pocket, pulled out the watch and handed it to me. I thrust it into my pocket, backed into my car and was off like the wind not daring to look back. 44 THE ARGUS I reached home still wondering where I had summed up the courage -to face the fellow. Thinkin-gi this rather amazing episode mifght make a good story for my diary, I went to my bureau drawer to fetch it. I openpeld my drawer and there, before my eyes, I saw-my watch! I thrust lmy hand into my pocket and pulled' out a watch. I gasped. I lhad never seen it before! Im.mediate1ly, I realized what had happened. I had' forgotten my -own watch in the morning and had demandeld from this strange man, with 3 supposed weapon in my hand, his watch. I burst out laughing. I had entered a new pro- fession,- I-Iighway Robbery. . Marjorie Siegel, B2' -1 Gun Eats Two opposite-bound trains pulled slowly in one misty autumn night at a little, rusty railway station. There immedi- ately ensued the bustle and confusion in the cars, the cries of the newspaper boys, the leaving and coming of passengers. Among the latter was especially noticeable, 3 young woman, about twenty-seven years old. She was tall and slim, with a pale, sad face, and a haggard look in her lifeless eyes. She sa.nk into the nearest chair and looked out of the window, seeming to take no interest in anythinsg. Suddenly, her look was arrested by a woman of her own age who was sitting near the window of the opposite train. Who could she be? thought the tall lady. She had a. vague feeling that she had seen her somewhere, that she knew her. She felt that the lady opposite had been closely connected with her own life and had played an important part in it. She looked at her again. Little by little, the other one's features began to grow dim in the tall lady's eye. Instead of her, she pictured a large class-room, she saw thirty-one awe-stricken girls and the usually kind and mild teacher now become strict and sorrowfulg she saw her friend Cora pale but steadfast stand- ing before the teacher denying the charge of having stolen six dollars and twenty-nine cents. In vain were Cora's denials and assurances that she had saved the six dollars found in her purse. The evidence was too obvious. Cora was expelled from school. Since then, everyone had lost sight of her. 45 THE ARGUS Years passed. Cora and the money incident were forgot- ten by everyone. But there was one who was destined never to forget it. Of her entire school life, this incident blotted out all the others and remained iixedl in her mind. It embittered her latter life and became the sole thought of her existance. If she could only find Cora and confess! And now, after an interval of fifteen years, she thought she saw Cora. She was amazed, astonished, motionless. She looked at her again and recognized her. She stopped,-wanted to cry out, Cora, when the signal was given. Cora lifted her head. She recognized her old friend. A few seconds passed before the train moved. They looked into each other's eyes through the night. They were separated by two windows. If they had reached out their hands, they could have touched each other. They were so near, yet so far. The carriages shook heavily. They were still looking at each other, the one aston- ished, the other conscience stricken, speechless. She saw Cora borne away. She saw her disappear and the train which bore her plunge into the night. Too late! R. Zuckerman, E6 Llii-i A Eleaf frnm Hiemnrg I live on the second floor. Immediately below my window there is a stationery store. When the awning is up, I am near enough to the news-stand to read the head-lineswith ease. I am very fond of standing at this window and watching the passers-by. One night, before climbing into bed, I turned out the light and pulled up the shade. I cannot imagine what mo- tive I had in thus standing bare-footed and laboriously rubbing the frost off the window-pane in order to look out. The weather was not such to tempt anybody of particular interest into the street, and as for the scenery, I long since had learned every detail of it by heart, and could have admired it much more co-mfortably in my mind's eye lying in a warm bed. I looked through the little transparent hole a moment, shivering. The empty wind-blown street looked unusually clean, the cobble-stones standinlg out almost white in the flittering light of the moon, the lines between them sharply marked. The air 46 THE ARGUS was clear, clearer it seemed than it had ever been before, and looked as if it had a fresh and clean quality. The clouds scur- ried on with the moon anxiously peering through the rapidly moving spaces. The lonesome wind alternately moaned and roared around the corner. I glanced below again. A man was buying a paper. He dropped his three pennies on the stand, folded the paper under his arm, and strode briskly homeward. I yawned a bit, and be- gan to pull the shade down when I noticed a drooping figure slowly movinig across the street. It was that of a girl, poorly clad, even had it not been cold. Suddenly I felt very warm as I thought of what it was like out there. The moan of the wind grew louder and louder and then burst into a frenzied shriek. The girl drew nearer. Her eyes fixed upon the ground, her hands stuck deep into the pockets of her scanty jacket. Notic- ing the glare of the stationer's lamp upon the pavement, she glanced up and drew nearer to the 1'ight. I saw that she was about sixteen, unnaturally thin, and dressed in what was too evidently someone's worn-out and cast-off clothing. Most of her yellowish hair was pushed into an ancient old-rose tam-o- shanter. Her eyes were a weak blue, her nose, thin and sharp, her small blue-lipped mouth was pushed up close under it. She came a step nearer. Her eyes fastened on the three pen- nies on the news-stand. Her whole body stiffened. She looked around. The street was empty. Her eyes turned swiftly back to the pennies. She looked at them steadily for a moment, then taking her hand from her pocket, reached out a finger, touched one, shuddered, and then, grasping all three in her palm, ran off. A policeman on the other side of the street, looked up as she passed, and my heart leaped with fear for her, the petty thief, the half-witted' criminal, lashed by poverty. But he paced on, unhurriedly, and I became aware that my nose, pressed against the pain, was stiff with cold' My hand still held the cord of the window shade. I finished pulling it down, jumped into bed, and there spent the rest of the night, conjur- ing up the girl s story, the necessity which had driven her to such a paltry theft. The thought of her out there in 'that cold wind, clutching the pennies in her cold, damp hands, robbed me of my sleep. The wind had brought her like a leaf and like a leaf had swept her out of my memory. E.

A. -------- MAE WOLF One of the most important events of the term was the reawakening of the spirit of inter-high school co-operation The old cumbrous association has been supplanted by a new organization, consisting of one representative from each high school. The delegates met at Hunter, for 'the first time at a meeting presided over by Miss Denenholz, our presi- dent. It is hoped that the new association will be more practical and more successful than its predecessor. Thus far, the signs are favorable. Hunter was the originator! Lend your moral support! L51 THE ARGUS Ellie Stuhenta' Aih Zllunh When the S. A. F. was established, a little more than two years ago, its only aim was to help with small allowances, those girls who miyght otherwise be forced to leave High School because of some Hnancial misfortune, lately, additional activities have been devised by the board. An employment bureau has been established through which many girls of the school have obtained work for Saturdays and after-school hours both in the school buildings and outside. Another important and recent plan adopted is to grant four scholar- ships of one hundred dollars each to girls in the .graduating class each term who might otherwise Find it impossible to undertake a college career. Thanks to the co-operation of every student in the school, the S. A. F. has grown to be the richest onganization in Hunter. Great things have been accom- plished in the past, and still greater will be successfully engi- neered in the future. Those members of the school, whom the G. O. has chosen to conduct all business conducted with the S. A. F., are :-- Miss Searle, Miss Delaney, Mrs. Hammond, Miss McElvare, of the facultyg Mary Gilmartin, Edna Rappaport, Alma Den- anholz, Mary Steinach, of the student body.' 52 THE ARGUS Sigma Gamma Hi Service, Character, and Personality. These are the three magic words which determine a girl's eligibility for Sigma. Hunter's honor society. The aims which every member strives to further are to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school, the three ideals embodied in these words. Every term, those girls in the eighth, seventh, and sixth terms who Sigma members consider have rendered service val- uable to the school, who possess sterling character, and who have an unusually fine personality, are admitted to its ranks. Each candidate for admission is given very careful considera- tion in all three respects and then if she has passed this first- test, she must be approved of by the faculty. No wonder that a Sigma member is regarded with awe and admiration by her less fortunate sisters! The present under-graduate members of Sigma, are:- Mary Steinach, President, Dorothy Bachner, Secretaryg Rosa- lind Levin, Mary Moskowitz, Alma Denenholz, Mae Wolf, Selma Berenson, Grace Loesser, Mary Gilmartin, Naomi Mor- rill and Katherine Meehan. 53 THE ARGUS Ifiig Sviatrr Qbrganizaiinn Chairman-Dorothy Bachner Secretary-Sally Yurman Faculty Advisor-Miss Coan First Term Chairman: Mary Moscowitz Second Term Chairman: Selma Berenson Third Term Chairman: Muriel Erdreich In the midst of the changes and endless confusion caused by our buildingless condition, stands the Big Sister Organ- ization, a mighty bulwark of the school, impervious to all hardships. It is difficult to be truly appreciative of the work performed by a Big Sister. Our freshman days seem so far behind that the memory of the feeling of eternal gratitude to our Big Sisters and what they meant to us, becomes vague, last among the many first impressions of Hunter! Early in the term, a Welcome party was given to the freshmen. It was a masquerade affair and took place in the high school gym. Perhaps it is because of an inordinate crav- ing for nourishment at this particular moment, but we must confess that we found the bow-woWs and lollipops especially attractive. 54 THE ARGUS 7 v ' t A53 , lmhafz what Staff Editor-Grace Locsscr Miscellaneous Editor-Frances Steinhardt Interviews ancl I'crsonals'--Roslinrl Levin G.

From the first few who were instrumental in organizing it, the club has spread to such proportions that even Room 510-512, where meetings are held every Friday during lunch hour, is hardly large enough to accommodate the eager audience. But this need not deter you from coming to meetingsg the always delightful programs presented every week, will more than com- pensate for any petty discomfort. This term, all scholarship requirements, such as were in effect last term and which necessitated a grade of A, B or C in French, have been done away with. Office holding, of course, remains subject to the conditions stated in the constitution of the general organization. The officers, especially, are to be congratulated upon their unselhsh devotion to the exigencies of the club, and without whose untiring efforts the French Club would not be occupy- ing the high position in Hunter's regard which belongs to it rightfully. 56 THE ARGUS .1 'iv 'rv :gl 4 Cgrrman Glluh President--Hilde Graf Vice-President-Dorothy Bosch Secretary and Treasurer-Katherine Sullivan Faculty Advisor-Mrs. Sachsse There is no organization in Hunter that deserves more cordial praise than the German Clulb.

We hope, in this inadequate way to make up in some small part, at least, for the unintentional neglect. Since Hunter's halls are somewhat narrower than one might expect to End in a structure of such imposing appearance, we must choose one of two courses: either we must admit only girls of' prescribed dimensions or we must have a Traffic Squad. Needless to say, we chose the latter alternative. The Traffic Squad has functioned extraordinarily well this term, particularly in view of the fact that the bell schedule has suffered rather frequent changes. An efficient chairman, is the answer to that riddle. We trust that we have atoned for the sins of our predecessors. . TQ. 01. 15. No, it is not, the High Cost of Living.

This paper proved to be so successful that it was decided to continue it thru the fifth term. But this plan did not prove feasible and the project was dropped. Since a class paper would serve to create an undesirable distinction between classes, the matter of a term paper was laid before the sixth term, with these reasons for its existence: It would bind the term together more firmlyg it would be an impetus for the literary talent of the sixth termg and, finally, it would supply the Argus with material for publication. The idea 'met with the hearty approval of the term and each' class sent a maximum of three girls to the first staff meeting. The paper is typewritten and copy is posted on each bulletin board on the fourth Hoor, where it is on exhibition for sixth termers and anyone el'se who is interested in it. 66 Grahuating Gllazz nf ilan. 1924 'P+ Gllaan Zliarultg Ahninnr MISS BIERNE Glass Qbftirrrn DOROTHY BACHNER - MAE WOLF -------- Vice-President BERRY BERENSON - - - - - Secretary IOSEPHINE STEPHENSON - - Treasurer - - - - President CE.

Imagine being in the lifth term. We just elected a blonde girl, Harriet Steele, as our president, because she answered Miss Coan's question- Why did I choose Hunter! -best. We wonder how she knew. Anyway, we know that we're going to love Hunter. Second Term: Sigma Gamma Pi -what does it mean? It couldn't be Latin or we'd know it. It must be French! At any rate, all the seniors are talking about it. Blanch Berkovitz is awfully smart. Vw'e elected her as president. Third Term: Now we are sophomores. How childish the freshman look! Sigma Gamma Pi can't be French, for we've studied it for almost a term and! -we haven't come across it yet. The Ger- man girls say it isn't German either. Edna Rappaport, our cheer-leader at the Golden Jubilee, last term, is now our president. Fourth Term: College life for us! Why they even have a. lunch-room down here! During one of our chapel periods, we elected Har- riet Steele, president. Three cheers for Harriet, a most capable girl. Fifth Term : Juniors-and back to dear old 108. We just learned that Sigma is an Onganizationl It's Greek! Cicero writes pretty well for his time, so, naturally we must make allowance for his conceit. Dorothy Bachner is our President and under Miss Corrigan, as Faculty Advisor, we hope to make great progress. 93 THE ARGUS Sixth Term : Alas, the Regents loom before us all too soon! Our dram- atic ability has reached its height. We have .given two defmon- strations of it. The A6A, and The House of Seven Labels have met with great success. 'The latter was quite popular among the pupils. Dorothy Bachner has made 3, good president. Seventh Term : This first half of our senior year has been devoted largely to furthering the interest of our school. Under the leadership of our President, Alma Denenholz, we have reached the Seventh Heaven. Our table at the Hunter College Bazaar was voted the most attractive. Rah for us! Our Marionnette Show at De Witt Clinton, words cannot describe it!!! Last, but far from least, was the dance to which De Witt Clinton, 7th Form, invited us. Eighth Term : 'Tis with pain indeed that we contemplate bidding you farewell, oh diary. For with closing you, we must end our High School career. This last tenm is full of pep and joy. Dorothy Bachner has led us to success. Our Eighth Term Party was the best wle've ever had Cas it should bel. With great coniidence that all who read this diary have attended and enjoyed our Senior Play, we will bid you a fond adieu.

The theory of the ancients concerning the survival of the littest has never yet been proved false. Therefore our con- clusion fpoor consolation tho' it may bej that 'those fit for said examinations will survive them is well grounded. 2. The worst is yet to come. VI.-To the sophomores we leave' the duty of finding all the keys to the various clothing closets, which have mysteriouslyl disappeared. In case of their failure to fulfill this duty, it is automatically transferred to their younger sisters. VII.-To the pride of our old age, our youngest, we leave: 1. The task of trying to keep that school girl complexion. We have long since given up the struggle. Z.-the following advice :- Keep on the right side of the building and of the faculty, try to be present as much as possible at your classes, and always have a good excuse ready-you may need it. And lastly do we make, constitute and appoint Miss Marie Genevieve CBernicej Beirne, Executor of this our last Will and Testament. Having thus disposed of our greatest possessions, namely our Advice and Good Wishes, in witness whereof we do here- unto set our name and seal this dreary day of .......... in the year of our Lord, 1923, in the year of the U. S. A. 147, in the year of our alumnae, O. Signed Class of Jan. '24 Wittynesses Kum On Wee Roff W. E. Muslev 96 THE ARGUS tk - - - -- - -A - ' J - - - - wing 'A Q il 1 ' E 23 :E 21, - - .- - ,A ,ol A A ' A ' 'i i ' T ' VMI' ' ' o1I76N1fhN: illllina Evirnv ND now after having reviewed the accomplishments of the senior term, it seems an entirely Htting time to give our impressions of the one who made everything possible-the senior faculty advisor, Miss Beirne. Possessing even more than her share of the necessary requisites, as a faculty advisor, Miss Beirne is ideal. For pep and vivacity she is unrivalled. For wisdom and sound judgment she has no equal. As for ability :to make girls love her,-it may be the? brilliance of her intellect, or her sense of humor, or her sarcasm, biting sometimes, de- lightful allitimes, or the charming' inconsistency of her varying moods, or the adorable way she has of wrinkling up her nose when she smiles, or-as someone suggested'-the Uphlegethonian beryll of her eyes. We suspect them all but, whatever the cause, the girls go into raptures over her. The same qualities that make her an ideal faculty advisor, make Miss Beirne an ideal teacher as well. With the slightest effort, she can ac- complish wonders. That famous sense of humor and the fear of her sarcasm may account in great part for the sudden re- linquishing of our fond ideas concerning the deadness', and uselessness of the Latin language. And our desire to see her wrinkle up hen n-ose when pleased may coincide more than we realize with our desire to do our Latin. There is still another aspect in which we consider Miss Beirne-in the light of a friend. In that respect, Miss Beirne is-well, you'll all know her some- day if you are fortunate, and it is delightful to discover some things for oneself. . B. R. 97 T H E A R G U S In Which We Interview Francine Larrimore. fNote: We are going to drop thiey editorial We temporarilyj I really wasn't awfully fmuch scared-just a little bit. For a solid hour I adorned a chair leading up tom the dre.ssing rooms of the Klaw Theatre. Miss Larrimore was still on the stage, and as I waited, I could hear hlelr lines. I could watch all the entrances and exits too, because everybody had to pass me in going to and from his dressing-rocim.-T-hat is, everybody except Miss Larrimore, whose room is on the stage fit's really just off the stage, only that's the professional way to say it.j Such handsome men! I made sheep's eyes at half a dozen olf them but Franciruel had just been doing the same thing, I suppose they were sltill a bit dazed. A little laundry boy came in between scenes with the villain's foh, he's not so bad after allj laundry, and the V. swore thjelre was 3, collar missing. He said 'tlhlat originally he was going to send thirteen collars, but that would have been bad luck, so he put another onlel in. The laundry b-oy vowed he took one out. I hope they settled it. At last the, Scandinavian conversati-onally inclined Cer- berus showed mle' to Miss Larrimore's dressing room. I saw a oozy, cretonney nook, smacking not at all of the theatre. In fact, werfez it not for the make-up on the dressinlg table, and ag certain red-lhlaired lady sitting at aforemlelntioned dressing table, I should never have known I was backstage. There was no star aoln the door, the mirror was not studded with electric lights, and I noted the entire absence of engaging disarray. Everything was in a most untheatrical order. The red-haired lady invited 'me to be seated while she removed the last traces: of imake-up. I disgraced myself by patting the dog. He was not a dog. He was a lump of wool. Mindful of my replofrtorial duties, I got out my pencil and took some notes. I noted an enchanting description of Miss Larrimore, but she will probably sees tlhlis Argus, so it will not be recorded here. Anyway, she is small, rather below middle lhreight, and she has wonderful red hair. As for the rest, see any evening paper. My, she chatted, it's a long time since If took midtermsl 98 THE ARGUS About forty years, I guess ! At least, slaid I. Well, anyway, it's a long time, she insisted. You know how you sometimes dream of things? I dream of school. Therefs nothing Hippy about our sdhlool, it's so staid and dig- nified-I'll allways have a feeling of reverence for it. And I may have forgotten my Latin, and I mlay havie forgotten my geometry, and even my manners, but I'll never fonget the real lessons that school training taught me--system, and un- selfishness. Follows some enciouragjemlemlt for a few of us would-be Duse's. There was a Dramatic Club when I was in Hunter, and I tried every single term to m'ake it and never could. I was eliminatiesd every time. fAnd Uolday her name is up in the lights. Balm to some of our wounded soulslj What would you 'say to the beginner in the dramatic field ? I asked. Well, she considered, you have to look at it from a practical standploiint. You have. to have money, or else a home in New York Otherwise it's practically impossible. It takes a long time before you get a name, and in the hard' times when you're out of work, you have 'to have ia home to fall back on, or else muolney. And it's so hard to tell 'at first whether you've got talent. Generally beginners in -the fielld that wear heavy street make-up and such don't get anywhere. Mash notes? Oh, they're the bunk. She struck a tragic attitude. No one ever wanted tio die for me, no one ever sent me pearls inside flowers. And my stage door johnnies are mostly johannas.-Oh, tell them I have jewelry ! she laughed. I'll say so. Such braclellets, silver and jeweled, and they jingled musically. It was the fur coat, however that decided me. I1 am going to be an actress, just like Miss Larrimore.

I W- gf 100 THE ARGUS This from Sam Hellman, whose short stories in the Satur- day Evening Post are-welll, read them! QChorus from the school- We do! Q Dear Miss Hochman: Unaccustomed as I am to addressing young 'high school ladies-my own pair of queens being in the very short frock and very long division stage of their education--yet it is hard to resist an appeal coming from a fellow-craftsman. You make it too difficult, though, by denominating me an Eminently Respectable and Highly Distinguished Author. To be respectable is good, to be called respectable is crushingg to be catalogued as such with a capital R as you have done is cataclysmic, but to be listed as Eminently Respectable-Well, that defies the adjectives of derogation to do their worst. As for Highly Distinguished Autfhor-that combination is to be, writ- ten only with a chisel over the grave of him, who was known in his sneered life as one of th-em writer guys that gets by with murder. So you see how impossible you have made it for me to write something for the Argus. Should I do so I would tacitly admit that I were Respectable and Distinguished-wlhich I perhaps do in private-but which I could never, never do in public from innate. modesty and from fear of getting, what the bibliophiles and lexicographers of the better class would call the Razzberryf' You can make any use of this letter you wish from having it engraved in copper and placed above the door of Hunter College to using it to wiple fudge stains off the kitchen floor. I am too Eminently Respectable to be annoyed by any treat- ment, and too wrapped in the cerements of 'highly Distin- guished to be able to make a sign of dissent. Yet cordially yours, My Ihr Argun Receives a Message From Mrs. Hammond Member of the Latin Department In a Famous New York High School Have classes personality ? Indeed they have. Sometimes we teachers must wait a long time before wie' discover it, but eventually it make.s itself evident. The personality of a class is, strange to say, the personality not of the class' as a whole, but that of a few leading girls, whom the rest follow, just like little sheep. fMrs. Hamm0nd's friendly smile at this point indicated a sympathe.tic understanding of the little sheep. j When we are familiar with the personality of a class, We can handle it more intelligently. Sometimes classes are very painstaking with their homework, but perhaps will not take so kindly to any discussion outside of the lesson, while others will be vwery receptive to outside information, and perhaps not so careful about homework. When, after a term or two, we teach again a class we have had before, we can detect changes in the personality of a class, and even of individuals in it. I mean not only changes of expression, wlhich are often evident, 'but also a maturer out- look, a more illumined attitude. Else what would our school be Worth?

Ethel Harris, once senior president, whose foul shots were the envy of us all, is at T. C.

We read it at home, obeying the commands of our English teacher-and we fell asleep. We go to the Manhattan Opera House and see it acted with John Barrymone as Hamlet--and in ecstasies of de- light we firmly assert that it is the best play ever written. We rave over Shakespeare because he has apparently writt-en a play for John Barrymore himself.. Without reserve, with genius flaming in every linel' as wlell as in every action, this actor conveys to us the full significance of the Shakespearian masterpiece. We cannot but believe that the author had just such an actor in mind when he wrote the play. The other characters are good-but we are constantly on edge when Hamlet is not on the stage 3-we are waiting for him to appear. Of all the characters we like. the king least. Not because he is the villain, but because we can scarcely understand his poorly pronounced lines. They remind us too much ofthe book and the dramatic reading at school. However, we have reformed. Never again will we fall asleep over Hamlet! DR. NYE-By J. c. LINCOLN Dr. Nye is the story of ia young physician who has been in prison. Released, he re.turns to South Orhan, his native vil- lage, where he is shunned by the respectable element-the unco' guid. However, by his tireless eiTorts for the welfare of the town, he manages to restore himself to the good graces, of its citizens. In helping two young people to happiness, Dr. 107 THE ARGUS Nye proves his innocence of the theft with which he has been charged. The, plot is a very lolbvious one. The scene of the stotry, South Orhan, is the typical New England fishing vil- lage 'which J. C. Lincoln is so fond of describing. The charac- ters are well done with that refreshingly hum-orous touch that is so characteristic of Lincoln. We have but one criticism to make,-Dr. Nye was entinefly tlolo noble to suit us erring mortals. MESSER MARCO POLO.-Donn Byrne Messer Marco Polo is the story of the love affair between, one of the most romantic figures of the Middle Aiges, Marco Polo, and the great Kubla Khan's daughter, Golden Bells, told .with the inimitable charm of an old Irishman. With such a combination of rich flavors the result is one of the most delect- able morsels that has been produced in the literary world for a long time. Donn Byrne, has an inborn gift for telling yarns and this one, with all its preposterousness, wlith all its vague philos- ophy cneates a gorgeous atmosphere of pageantry which would be overwhelming if it were not so delicate. The rich brogue of the dialect only makes 3, heavier and richer canvas on which Mr. Byrne may blend the vivid foneliggn colors of a past world of -mystery into a picture that is so beautiful that it does not have to be real. It is this lack of reality that prevents the book from having any historic value. But this need not detract from its true worth for Donn Byrne has succeeded in giving to the world a thing -of beauty and who can deny that that is a worthy achievement? Gladys B.

Hemon is able to depict this setting so aptly since he himself lived for a year and a half loin the frontier, making a clearing in the backwoods and writing his book during the intervals of his toil. He makes the, neiader love the wide expanse of virgin for- est land and the simple pioneer folk who labor loin the soil, only to make a clearing and eventually raise their own crops. At times the nelader envies the pioneer folk, tfheir natural sur- roundings, and honest toil, and at other times he sympathizes for the bareness and isolation of their life. Howelver, Hemon is always optimistic. He describles the beautiful spring, full of promise, and then harvest time, and then the heavy fall of snow, always looking forward to the next season's crops. He seems to subordinate his characters to the setting, since we cannfolt possibly consider them or their actions except in the light of 'their background. But he does demonstrate a remarkable ability for character portrayal as in the example of the fine Maria Chapdelaine. He allows her to choose' be,- tween her two lloversg one, a hard working neighboring pio- neer, wiho offers her the peace and quiet of the tillage: of the soilg the other, a fellow from the states, who offers 'her the luxuries and artiiicialities of the city. She finally chlolosels the former, the life to which she has been accustomed and which she truly loves. Hemon's treatment of this wild land is unusual. Ordi- narily this type of story is treated roughly whereas Hemon is tender and poetic, yet simple, more appealing.

Yoififnay think you will neveribe a singer, but I am telling you that you can sing! Don't deny it! You can! All you have to do is to follow my in- structions implicitly and within fifteen minutes, you will have a brand new voice. Spend the time pleasantly, reading a book, perhaps, and before you know it, the hands of the clock will have moved around one-quarter of an hour, and there you are-a singer! Here is my story:- ar if lk I was brought up in a little country town of New York, and ever since the 'tender age of six, Cmonthsj, I had been noted for my loud, clear, voice which could be heard for miles around and was even known, at times, to wake neighbors from their sleep at night. As I grew into gentle girlhood, however, this gift was taken from me, until at the a-ge of eighteen, I was unable to sing a note. Gradually all my friends drew away from me. At first, I could not understand why, for this is an affliction of which even your dearest friend may not speak to you. My miserable posi- tion was brought home to me at a party one night, where Lorenzo, who used to be my steady, as the small-town folk say, paid assiduous attention to Isabel Abell, who had such a loud, clear, ringing voice, that a totally deaf gentleman was seen to start when she reached one of her high notes. That night, I rushed home, Hung myself on my hard, little bed, and burst into a flood of desperate tears. What should I do? As I sat up in despair, I heard something rustle under me. It was a news- paper, and staring up at me 'from it was the adver- tisement of this miracu- lous cream to improve the voice. I immediately sent for it, and live months later, it arrived! Its power was so great that even as I walked home from the Post Office with the package under my 111 ,170 arm, Lorenzo, passing me on the street, raised his hat with an atfable nod, in a manner fully ap- proved by the Etiquette Book. I then went home, and delicately rubbed the Marvello Cream on my throat, as directed. Scarce- ly had 'the fifteen minutes elapsed when without even opening my mouth, a full, rich, piercing tone came forth. All the work- ers rushed forth from the factory, thinking it was the noon whistle. They gathered in admiring crowds outside my win- dow,-and from that day on, my fame began. lk lk Pl' You can do the same! Do it!

When the huge crowd, filling the seats of the immense stadium, had arrived, Hunter raised its banners. When the crowd saw the glorious heliotrope and white fluttering under the stars, they were thrilled as they had never been thrilled before, as they tenderly thought of what those colors had always stood for,-victory! As the Hunter eleven came marching daintily down to the field in their lavender bloomers and white silk jerseys, a mighty cheer arose from the throats of the multi- tude ........ a cheer that shook the rafters of the gigantic stadium. Then one could see the discour- agement of the Yarvard team, but they finally plucked up spirit and de- cided to lose like sports. The game was a thrill- ing one. The highest statistics have it that 4,786,013 straw hats were crushed in the wild excite- ment. Hunter swamped the Hale team with thirty- eight touch-downs, two sideward passes, and six home runs. The score was overwhelming, being 96-12, favor Hunter. The jubilant Hunter team was carried off the Held on the shoulders of their excited faculty. They were shouting their uni- versally popular cheer. When do we eat? We want lunch! When do we eat? We want lunch!

Well, replied Tommy, it don't cry so very much -anyway, if all your teeth were out, and your hair off, and your legs so weak you couldn't stand on 'em, I -guess you'd feel like crying yourself. lk Ik HF A contemporary of ours fa famous columnist in one of New York's great dailiesj makes a remark which we think worthy of note. He naively won- ders why men can't get what they want by cry- ing. Psychological Test We are printing here a psychological test which has been most carefully prepared by the United Physicians League of Asia Minor and the Canary Islands, and presented by their able president, I. Finishem, M.D., A.B.C. If you cannot answer this simple question, there is something radically wrong with you-you may be half-witted, in fact,-and you should consult your physician immediately. Name of good physician supplied on request. Question: There were two Indians :-a big Indi- an and a little Indian. The little Indian was the son of the big Indian, but the big Indian was not the father of the little Indian. Who was the big Indian? The answer is printed at the bottom of this column, but do not look at it until you have tried to solve the problem unaided. Answer :-His Mother. 115 Dear Ed: I think it's outrageous, the number of holidays we are getting this term. Can't you do anything about it? l Ans: I will see the Janitor, and find out whether he will consent to keep the school open on these days or not. lk Pk lk Dear Ed: I have re- cently heard a rumor that Hunter was going to have a new building on Broad- way and 42nd Street. Is this true? Ans: We had thought of that, but we realized that it might block the traffic, so we are going to situate the new building- when it comes-some- wheres else. Dear Ed: Seeing as how I read that eating fish wuz good fer the brain, what kind of fish would you advise me to eat? Ans: Judging from your letter, you should eat a whale.
