'1- We Bow To Our' Advertisers E wish to express our sincerest thanks to those merchants who have conf tinued their support despite hard times and to those new advertisers who have shown their confidence in us and our patronage by advertising this year. It is because of their generous support and Scholarship GAIN the greatest aim of school is being tackled forcefully by pupils themselves. The seniors are leading a hopeful crusade for higher scholarship. Everyone at heart wants to do good work. The ques' tion is how to accomplish it. The idea is not to develop geniuses or to make us all brilliant scholars but merely to make every bit of brain in our heads exert its greatest effort. It is not a cruel attempt to overtax our brains but a laudable striving to make the most of our actual ability. After much deliberation, the seniors have hit upon a plan to encourage this ideal. Competition is not particularly confidence that we have been able to bring forth a BLOTTER undiminished in size and we hope in quality in this year of worldfwide depression. We cannot overemphasize our indebtedness to them. Therefore, let us repeat that timefworn appeal with more than usual earnestness: Patronize our advertisers. Encouraged original but usually effective. Consef quently a banner will be given every month to the class in the High School which earns the highest scholarship average. The honored class will then have the privilege of hanging the banner in its room until the next month when it again goes to the class maintaining the highest scholarship. The plan is still very young and its success cannot be determined until it has had the test of time. Student cooperation is the deciding factor. Won't each one of you help yourself and xyour class to be successful in this campaign? Every creditable mark is a step toward the ban' ner, a diploma and a gratifying future. 8 I 1 THE BLOTTER lKewelForest Continued on the Accredited List Y the unanimous vote of the Commission on Secondary Schools, KewfForest School has been continued 'for two years on the List of Accredited Secondary Schools of the Association of Colleges and Second' ary Schools of the Middle States and Maryland. This Association examines and approves or disapproves of secondary schools in Delaware, District of Columf bia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Panama Canal Zone and Pennsylvania. Of the 767 schools which have submitted reports, 557 have been approved. In passing on a secondary school, many things are considered: QD Organization and Administration, Q21 Preparation of Teachers, Q31 The Teaching Load, Q41 Program of Studies and Q51 Physical Equipment. The commission cooperates in every way with the institutions of higher learning and the academic stand' ing of the graduates of KewfForest School, in the colleges which they are attending or have attended, is an imporf tant factor in the commissions attitude toward the local school. Membership in this Association is one of the highest honors which can come to any secondary school. Gunn Chewing Q An editorial in a modern vein, meant to reform young sinners., IHOUGH we are told by advertisements that gumfchewing is one of the arts mas' tered by the intelligensia, andfof course our school considers itself a member of this group, Kewfflorest puts its intellectual footldown on chewing. Our parents all agree, and I believe we really do ourselves, that it isn't quite the thing for young ladies and young gentle' men to do. But we all seem to ind enjoyment in forbidden fruit , and I suspect that is the main reason why we chew. If we only realized, however, what a stupid lack of thought and com' mon sense we show by committing this misdemeanor, we should save many dolf lars, and put'Wrigley's and the corner stationery store on the bread line. Whenever we think of someone tough , or shall we say, not of the better classes, we picture a girl whose highly rouged lips are constantly rotating from her energetic use of chewing gum. If we chew, we really should not place ourselves above her class of society. Though she may chew because she has been taught no better, we chew by choice, and show a lack of good taste. Therefore, the next time you ride on a subway, and feel generally disgusted by the lack of breeding shown by the people around you in their habit of chewing gum, think of yourselves, and go, with the blessings of KewfForest upon you, and sin no more. THE BLOTTER . Paper, Noise and More ol? llt EADY! Aim! Fire! you say to yourself as you aim for the waste basket in study hall for classroomj. Your wad of paper lands with a gentle plop just in front of the basket, revealing to the amusement of those around you that your aim was not so good as you had thought it was. Therefore, you rise fromgyour chair with a heavy sigh in order 'tor retrieve that bothersome wad, accidentally knocking all your books to the floor as you pass. You start back to your seat once the paper is safely deposited, and chance to stumble over someone's feet, unconf sciously blocking traffic in the aisle. Immediately everyone looks up, ever ready for some excitement to relieve the monotony of the everyday routine. There is a dead silence as you slide into your chair, thanking heaven that thats over! The student who does a thing like this does not intentionally upset the attempts at concentrated study of the students around him, but does it, perhaps, through a momentary thoughtlessness. The ref sult is a disturbance for which he is wholly to blame. Probably his idea was that if he threw the paper into the basket from his seat, he would cause less disf turbance than by getting up to carry it there. Granted. But if he had kept it with him until the end of the period, and then thrown it away, would it not have been better still? Such occurrences have been a matter for discussion for some time now, and recently a few helpful rules have been evolved in the hope that the students will cooperate by observing them, thus eliminating to a large extent, all noise and confusion from study hall . Cormumemieeimeint Program Prepared Plans are completed and rehearsals are in progress for the Commencement of the Class of 1931, to be held in the Church' infthefGardens, June 5. The speakers will be Julius S., Bixler, Ph.D., of Smith College, and Nancy Kershaw ,Virginia Chalmers, and Laurose SchulzefBerge, members of the class. The organ and violin will furnish accompaniment for Veni Creator, by Gounod and the Recitaf tive and Aria of Xerxes by Handel, which will be sung by High School pupils and Miss Thomas. The school is grateful to the members of the ChurchfinfthefGardens, who, for several years, have made possible such beautiful surroundings for our Comf mencement program. It is a matter of regret, obviously, that room for guests is necessarily limited.

In athletics she is the wonder and delight of the school. In the Long Island Interscholastic Debating Association she walked off with the championship in individual debating. Kew-Forest and the senior class will miss her sorely. Lucky Smith! 11 a x 1 THE BLOTTER SANFORD CLOSE .isandyu He stands aloof, looking down upon the throng. Philanthropy Chairman, '31 Football, '29 Tennis, '30, '31 OUR mental picture of Sandy is of someone Wandering around the school in a very preoccupied manner-per- haps thinking of some member of the Kew-Forest alumnae. But despite this preoccupation, he accomplishes a great deal of work. This year he has devoted much of his time very successfully to philanthropy. He took up the work in that quiet way of his and carried it out so efficiently that we cannot help visualizing Sandy in later life as doing the same job on a big scale, as did Mr. Hoover in the late war.

He has abiilty to Work fwhen he feels like ity, especially in debating. The way he makes debaters opposing him feel just like two particularly small pennies, by casting a sardonic grin and a few sarcastic remarks at them, is something to rejoice over. This, so Arthur fondly believes, is due to the fact that he is very hardhearted. It's just the principle of the thing with Arthur. 12 4' u THE BLOTTER Farrington ANITA FARRINGTON Ladies, whose bright eyes raln influence Varsity Hockey, '28, '29, '30, '31 Varsity Basketball, '28, '29, '30, '31 Junior Basketball, '27 Second Team Basketball, '27 Leaders Club, '29, '30, '31 Cheer Leader, '30, '31 Vice-President of Class, '31 Art Club, '30, '31 President Art Club, '30 Vice-President Art Club, '31 Manager Reds, '29 WE just shrink quietly back into our shells and sit gaping when Farrington appears.

She is just one of those people ' ' MURIEL FLUHR Adelphi Her ways are ways of pleasantrless, and all her paths are peace. ' Choral Club, '31 Dramatic Club, '30, '31 MLTRIEL is perhaps the quietest influence in our noisy senior class. She spreads an atmosphere of peace and calm over her turbulent fellow students, Conscientiousness is her outstanding ability. In Muriel we Hnd the necessary balance which calms down an otherwise unnecessarily noisy class. 13 ' ae?-a 4 T 1 s Q Q f t 1 E . s i I !

VVe shall not be a bit surprised to see him a member of an All-American team, or upholding the intellectual standards of the country. His efficient service as head traffic manager at Kew-Forest might even qualify him for chief of police. nlKel1,1 ELLEN KENNEDY Russell Sage College She builded better than she knew.

She darts and dashes about, seeming to skim lightly over every- thing, yet, strangely enough, every task to which she turns her hand she accomplishes thoroughly and completely. She can do so niziny things at the same time, such as improv- ing the school scholarship, editing the BLOTTER, helping in athletics and dramatics, and marshalling rows of beaux, that we wonder if she keeps herself from falling asleep with weztriness by talking gztily and endlessly through the day?

Perhaps he is the baby of the class, but this does not keep him from climbing towards the top scholastically. Generosity is his second name, and anyone who must borrow always finds Hank a ready lender. We're expecting big things from him at Yale. 16 THE BLOTTER DORIS RILEY College of New Rochelle Neatness personified. Choral Club, '28, '31 Studio Art Club, '31 BLOTTER Board, '31 IN Doris we find that great outstanding quality of neat- ness. Everything she does and everything she wears is just so. It's a gift. She may be quiet, but we have an idea that there is a lot of conscientious thinking going on behind those big eyes. It's taken a long time for us all to know her and now we regret that she is leaving us so soon for New Rochelle. UMW Rosey LAUROSE SCHULZBBERGE Sweet Briar What is the end of Fame?

But this is the truth. She is, as she aptly states it, Positively frenzied . But beneath the insanity hes an attractive personality that draws one to her. Also, she has talent, and the ability to walk off with the prize for the best short story written by any high school student in America.. We're all very proud of her, and we are prim- ing ourselves to stick out our chests in the days to come when Laurose is startling the World with her literature, and say: I used to know her . 17 THE BLOTTER FRANCES SMITH To show our simple skill: This is the true beginning of our end. Choral Club, '27, '28, '31 Art Club, '31 FRANCES has been at Kew-Forest since the vory first grade: so she knows its ins and outs. Vl'e hear that she has a passion for organ music. If she's as amlitious in the pursuit of this as in other things, we shall not be a bit surprised to hear that she has surpassed the organ masters of the world. As we know Frances letter and better, We flnd an imagination that can roam, and a smooth sense of humor which she usually keeps to herself. LEO TOLMAN Ill. I. T.

In the future, we shall be sending our young hopefuls to learn Chem. or Physics from the famous Prof. Tolman,-that is, if he doesn't blow himself up before then. His school life is punctuated by one explosion after the other, followed by Lee's emerging from the Lab., wearing a rubber apron and a broad grin. Sometimes he takes EL short vacation to try his luck at debating, but he always hurries back to his explosions. 18 first member to honor the very first kindergarten class I- THE BLOTTER Dot VVicks DOROTHY WICKE Sweet Briar We meet thee like a pleasant thought.

She has a rare sense of humor-when she let's you discover it. She is usually so quiet and dignified that those occasional glimpses beneath her reserve seem twice as worthwhile. That brilliant mind, that sense of humor, that dignity and that reserve create a lovable personality.

For the first time in the seven years' history of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, three literary awards were bestowed at the convention, March 14. The Columbia University Writers' Club cooperated in the contest. The award for the best story was won by Laurose SchulzefBerge, whose story Chariot of Fire appeared in the BLOTTER of Kew' Forest School last May. Representing KewfForest School at the Convention were Nancy Kershaw, Virginia Chalmers, Arthur Collins, Deborah Davenport, Muriel Millar, Margaret Knapp, Mary Dale, Donn Boring, Mrs. Smart and Mr. Dixon. Of the general sessions, the Kew' Forest delegates attended four, hearing Mrs. William Brown Meloney, New York Heraldfffribrme Magazine, Mr. Louis Wiley, Business Manager, New York Times, Mr. Russell Owen, New York Times. The speakers heard by our delef gates at sectional meetings were Mr. john E. Allen, Editor of Linotype News, Mr. William E. Haskell, General Executive. New York He'raldf'Tribtmeg Miss Marion C. Sheridan, Head of English, New Haven High School, Miss Eunice Fuller Barnard, New York Times, and Bob Conf nolley, Cartoonist. The Varsity Show Great Shakes was thoroughly enjoyed by the group. THE BLOTTER Delbatenrs Win Five oi? Seven Contests TFIE Debaters of KewfForest under the direction of coach, Mr. Dixon, and his assistants, Miss Blaisdell, Miss Thomas and Mlle. Lafrance, had a very successful season, with five decisions to their credit out of a possible seven. The record is as follows: December 11 KewfForest 3, Rockville Center O December 11 KewfForest 3, Lindenhurst 0 December 12 KewfForest3 Baldwin O December 19 KewfForest 3 Babylon 0 February 6 Great Neck 2, KewfForest 1 February 9 KewfForest Oceanside--No decision February 1 1 Roslyn 2, KewfForest 1 February 16 KewfForest , Northport-No decision February 19 KewfF0rest 3, Mineola O The subject debated this last season was i'Resolved: That the Chain Store System, as it is developed in the United States, is detrimental to the best interests of the American people . At the end of the season, those who had participated in debating were award' ed keys according to the number of points obtained. The awards were as follows: Long Island Interscholastic Individual Championship Virginia Chalmers Gold Key Nancy Kershaw 21 THE BLUTTER Silver Key 1 Jeannette Clark fManagerj 2 Arthur Collins fCaptainj 3.

Undoubtedly the outstanding event of the season occurred when Virginia Chalmers took first place in the individual competition of the Long Island Inter' scholastic Debating Association. For this achievement she won a cup for Kew' Forest and a gold key with a diamond Virginia Chalmers, Long Island's Best Debafter in it for herself. In this contest she rated ahead of Herman Herbert of Roslyn and Bennet Frankel of Great Neck, two friendly rivals who were responsible for our two defeats. JEANNETTE CLARK, H. S. III. Election Day Exciting NOVEMBER 3 was election day at Kew- Forest School. The election was conf ducted by High School I Civics class and supervised by a Board of Election, Jack Norworth, chairman, Bruce Howard, Emma Montague and Betty Neisel. Members of the faculty, all High School classes and Grades 6 and 7 voted. Vote ing districts, ballot boxes, mimeographed ballots, all reminded one of the regular election centers. Only those who had registered were allowed to vote. The results showed a strong loyalty to the Republican candidates. Governor Roosef velt ran ahead of his ticket, trailing Tuttle by only two votes. Assemblyman Zim' merman was the only Democrat elected inthe contest held at KewfForest School. The results, however, are relatively un' important, but the training in citizenship is of inestimable value to the pupils of the school. Asscemlbllyman Zimmerman Visits Us TI-IE High School I Civics dass of the KewfForest School had the pleasure of listening to a short talk by the Honor' able Frederick Lloyd Zimmerman, Assemblyman of the Sixth Assembly Dis' trict, on Friday, November 14. THE BLOTTER Leaders Club Continues To Grow ln Usefulness Although nine members of the Leaders Club graduated last year, an equal num' ber of new students have been initiated this year. Aside from continuing the activities of last season, such as super- vision of thrift, cleanfup work, philanf thropy and traflic, the club has developed many new ideas which have been put into practice by appropriate committees. A plan for inaugurating an officer of the day is being seriously considered. A proposition for distinguishing the diff ferent classes by some insignia is also well under way. Rules for improving the study hall have been introduced, and still further, the Leaders Club has voted to plan an entirely new system of rating students for membership. It has been the wholefhearted aim of the Leaders Club to distribute oflices and duties among as many students as pos' sible. Many of the committees are fre' quently changed in membership so that more people may have actual experience as well as an opportunity to show ability in leadership. So far two initiations have been held this year and another is planned for the end of May. The membership to date inf cludes Virginia Chalmers, president, Dorothy Wicke, vicefpresidentg Nancy Kershaw, secretary, Doris Clark, Jean' nette Clark, Mary Dale, Deborah Davenf port, Anita Farrington, Helga Holch, Robert Kelleher, Margaret Knapp, Myrtle Knorpp, Marie Louise Lockwood, Roslyn Marsh, Muriel Millar, Betty Parks, Laurose SchulzefBerge, Lee Tolman, Josef phine Vahlsing, Margaret Vahlsing, Frances Vogel and Elizabeth Wilton.

Her day was spent in the kitchen, a baby on one arm, dishes and pots on the other. When one baby grew large enough to drag on her skirts, there was another to be carried. It was every man for himself amongst his brothers and sisters, and Pop was a reeling creature to avoid. Through seven years of life the little boy grabbed and swore and fought. It was only after he had become friends with the small dirty dog that a puzzled look crept into his deep eyes, and he learned there was such a thing as affecf tion. Then he would watch his broken mother with hurt, wistful eyes. The small dog had a ratflike tail, and big flat feet that patted you wildly when the small dog was happy. The small dog was friendly, for he knew that if his ears were mismated, and his whiskers were rather peculiar, these defects would be overlooked if he were a gentleman at heart. He loved the little boy and the little boy loved him. The small brown dog sat between the little boy's knees when he ate, and noise- lessly consumed the bits of food that a grimy hand passed down to him. He slept on the little boy's bed, and was al' ways ready with a cold nose and clumsy, comforting paws if he woke trembling from dreams, dreadful dreams. He knew that there is nothing like small dog ap' plied to the chest for dispelling night' mares. He knew that there is nothing like a tangle of dog and boy for taking the terror out of the elevated's roar and the sordid memories of the day. But he did not know that it was because of the dose of small dog applied to the heart that something strange and hard growing in the little boy's eyes drew in its claws and stole away . The cold wind froze the little boy's nose as he came down the school house steps. It was nothing to the cold fear that froze his heart when he did not see the small dog. Every day that small dog had met him, every day since back be' THE BLOTTER yond memory. The little boy whistled, and the noise of many cars swallowed the piping sound. The little boy called and called and a look of terror filled his eyes. He ran through the streets where he and the small dog walked. He searched the park where he and the small dog played. He did not look at home. It was supperftime when he mounted the steps and entered the flat. Rosie was painting her face at the mirror above the sink. Pop and Benny were sprawled on the bed, snoring, and children sat on the greasy floor. Ivlom had a puffy child on her arm, and a whiney child dragging at her skirts. She glanced at him and did not see that he was trembling, that his eyes gleamed under his tangled black hair. He's gone, said the little boy in a low voice, he's gone. ul got nothing for ya supper but soup, said Mom, shifting the baby. Mom, he's gone. What kin I do? Who's gone?l' 'LMe dog, Mom. What kin I do? MI dunno, said Mom in a dull voice. Don't wake ye Pa. 'fGood riddancef' said Rosie. The little boy looked at Mom, and he looked at Rosie. Then he slipped out and walked up and down the cold streets, calling- calling. Finally he asked the policeman if he had seen a brown dog with brown eyes. MSO ya lost ya mut, eh? Have a license, Kid? Well, then he's probably in the pound, Yeah, down by the river about ten blocks. Filled with wild hope, the little boy raced through the streets, along the dark river front, up an alley. There it was, a great wirefenclosed yard and in it were dogs and dogs. Breathless, the little boy sank down and pressed his face against the wire and called and whistled and called. There was a stir and a rush. A small brown dog dashed itself against his face and big clumsy paws patted wildly against the wire and the crying of a small brown dog sounded strangely human. Through the dimness gleamed the wistful eyes of watching dogs. The little boy sat down with his back to the February wind and drew a long breath that quivered and broke. A nose with peculiar whisk' ers was pushing itself through the wire that muzzled it too tightly for more than the very tip of a pink tongue to escape. Even though he went home very late, creeping into bed without a sound, he awoke early. There were men about the pound when the little boy arrived with half of his breakfast bundled in a news' paper. Edging his way timidly into the office, the little boy asked the pudgy man at the desk if he could have his dog. Got a license? The pudgy man had vacant eyes. A-a-No, I got noAlicense. us Can't have a dog 'thout a license. Then gimme one-please. at Two dollars, said the pudgy man. The little boy gasped. Two dollars! He walked slowly out to the yard. Two dolf lars! He laid his cheek against a cold, black button that wiggled through the wire. Two dollars! He could never get two dollars. There was a sudden creaking, a stOrm of wild, pleading cries. A great wire cage, full of tangled fur, and crying, was swinging out over the water at the end of a crane. For a moment it hung sus' pended, then dropped. The river swalf lowed the voices and in silence a small brown dog pressed trembling against the 26 THE BLOTTER netting and licked five dirty fingers with a sobbing whine. Why'd you do that? whispered the little boy as the cage swung back to land so silently. Gawd, kid, we can't keep all de muts we get. After two weeks we gotta dunk 'em in de river an' dey don't give no more worry. The little boy's fingers twisted into the brown dog's fur and held it tightly. Two dollars! The week that followed was a night' mare. The little boy's eyes grew dis' tended, for he was always opening them so wide to see if he would not awake. Between his visits to his small friend, he opened car doors, carried bundles, or maybe bags, hoping for nickels and dimes. Two dollars. He must get two dollars. But people, bent against the cold wind, hurried on unheeding. Two dolf lars! He had fifteen cents. Then came a lovely day when the sun was warm and the sky was blue. This day was followed by more such days and nights. When the little boy paid his nightly visit to the pound fthe truant off ficer barred the dayj he no longer shiver' ed so much. People heeded him and smiled as he opened their car doors or carried their bags. They made cheery remarks about the ground hog and his big mistake, the unusual February weathf er, and they gave him dimes more often than nickels. As day followed sunny day and the second week rolled to a close, nickels and dimes multiplied. Thirty, fortyffive, fifty, seventyffive, a dollar five! But time was growing short. With the courage of desperation, the little boy sold papers even in his own neighborhood, regard' less of truant officers and teachers. Nightly he approached the pound with choking heart. Would he see his dog pressing against the wire, waiting, wel' coming? They hadn't taken him yet. When the two weeks were sped, he did not have enough. He knew they filled the great cage every day at noon. He knew he had 'till noon, to free his small friend of the lumpy nose, the strange whiskers, and the gentlemanly heart. When the sun was rising high, the little boy learned that Madame Moon, who had watched his nightly visits, had pitied him, and had dropped herself to the sidewalk, still gleaming and silver, as a bright metal dollar. He picked it up. A dollar. Written right on its gleaming surface were the words One Dollar . It meant that he had enough! He could get a license. He could get his dog! It was not yet noon, not yet. Clenching his list over the money, he raced through the crowds. A hand seized him. Well, if it ain't my li'l' brother, my darlin' brother! The little boy could smell Benny's vile hairtonic. What's ya hurry, Kid? Lemme go, Ben, aw, lemme go! l gotta git there afore noon. Gee, ya date must be heavy, Kid- Don't ya twist like that or I'11 sock ya one. What ya got in ya mit? ' 'LNot'in', Bennylflsemme go, Ben, lemme go. It's so lateif' Not'in', eh? The kaleidescope of Benny's striped and dotted clothing whirled before the little boy's eyes as he felt the pain in his twisted arm, felt his hand opened and heard the rain of money on the sidewalk. 'LNot'in', eh? Benny's voice rasped. 'LBeen breakin' banks, ya fool? Well, so much dough ain't good fer a kid.fI'll take de cartwheel, Kid, as taxes. The THE BLOTTER silver dollar was gone with Benny into the crowd. With trembling hands the little boy picked up the nickels and dimes. Hold' ing them, he stood very still, a dazed look on his face. The tide of people split about him. The sun rose higher, yet he stood, motionless. A tanned young man with a valise passed him, looked back at him, stopped, then walked to his side. What's edgin' ya teeth, li'l' fella? His blue eyes were very kindly. Spit it out, suh! Tell yo' Uncle Harry! Benny took my dollar,-an' if I don't get a license before noon, my dog'll be killed. The little boy's voice was tone' less. Well, sonny, if yo' ain't jes' the boy I'm looking fo'! Yo' see I gotta have mah bag carried to yondah subway in a big hurry, the glanced at his watch, an' whoevah does it gets one dollar. The little boy took one look into the keen face above him, seized the bag, and folf lowed the man. Through the crowd they raced. At the subway entrance the young man grabbed his bag, pushed the dollar into a grimy little paw and said, Now run for it, sonny! The little boy ran. His small body twisted in and out among the throng. He heard neither the flapfflap of his loggy shoes, nor the tearing of his heart, nor the beating in his ears. He did not notice that the sun had lost itself in a troop of clouds that came riding out of the west on a bitter wind. Now the river lay like a strip of lead before him. One more block, just one-one! Then he saw it, that great cage of death swinging out! Wait,-wait, he screamed. I got it, mister-wait--he's brown, with brown eyes-gee-big ones- As the cage dropped, the wave of tearing cries Hlled the little boy's memory and echoed through the stillness that followed. Wait-don't- His voice was a whisper. He can't swim! There were big dogs and little dogs in the pen, but no small dog that patted the wire with clumsy paws. Many brown eyes watched the little boy who crouch- ed close to the netting. But the real big ones shining through a fuzz of peculiar whiskers could not see how very, very still the little boy was, could not see that he did not stir when the bitter winds blew the dollar bill from his fingers and bore it away on its hollow breath. Win' ter had returned. LAUROSE Sci-1ULzEfBERGE, H. S. IV. THE BLOTTER F ZQQ7 mg Q31 A ff?

He was getting used to this clamor which emphasizes the daily life of so many of the inhabit' ants of the city. He moved from his accustomed place, pulled his hat down to his eyes, turned his coat collar up, and embarked upon his journey. Today, instead of merely standing by the sub- way gates, waiting for something to hapf pen, something in the form of someone who appeared wealthy, he was to do something. different, something big. His orders were to go to the restaurant, a small, dingy hole, repulsive to Paul's sen' sitive eyes, go to the right hand corner of the counter, and wait. Soon, a tall man with one eye and with a long scar curling from the upper right hand corner of his forehead in a long waving line to the very point of his chin would meet him. The conversation had been describf ed to him in minute detail. Then, after he was sure it was the right man, he was to pull out his gun stealthily, and let it do its business. By now he had reached the restaurant. Feeling to make sure the gun was ready and loaded, he squared his shoulders and went in. Straight to the prescribed corner he went. He looked around. A man was approaching, tall, perhaps the one. A waiter asked for his order. He gave a sidelong glance at the tall man, who was now beside him, then turned to the waiter. Coffee here. Then he turned to the other. l'How about you? That was what his orders told him to say. Same to me. That was the response he was to expect. Yes, it was given. Now he must get a look at this man. Paul grasped his neighbor's coat and whirled him around. Yes, there was the scar, long and livid, curling from the upper right hand corner of his forehead in a long waving line to the very point of his chin. And there was a great black patch over one eye of this tall stranger. Subway's more crowded than usual today, said Paul hopefully. He did hope that his neighbor would answer according to instructions. Yeah More for death. Right. Paul's his move was to pull out his gun, make the quick, sure Accordingly, with a flick of his wrists, his gun was exposed. At the same time, had Paul only noticed, his neighbor made a similar movement. crowded,-more chance face lighted up. Now shot,-and then, exit. Well, goodbye, pardf' That was his final instruction. At precisely the same moment, the tall onefeyed man said exactly the same thing. Two sharp pistol cracks blazed forthgone from Paul's gun, and one from that of the stranger. Paul lurched forward, then fell against the counter. Strangely enough, he was smiling, smiling a happy smile, like that of a man who has finally realized an am' bition. Thanks, Cardigan, he said, I knew you were sent out to get me. Thanks! God, Fm glad to get out of this damned city, these damned subways. At last I'm free, free from you, and from Casey, and 30 THE BLOTTER from all the rest of your rotten gang. I freed me. So long, pard, I'1l see you would have killed myself, but I'm no in Hell. quitter. I'm only glad that you gave With a happy, boyish grin on his face, me the chance to get you before you Paul sank lifeless to the floor. NANCY KERSHAW, H. S. IV. Gypsy Heart I am tired of the endless rush of people passing by, Passing everyone and everything with fixed, unseeing eye . . . I ani tired of great buildings stretched in endless ranks and high, Up until they blot away the firmament of sky. In this hastening world of city there is no single thing To help my heart remember that without it's time for Spring. Too long now have I tarried in this kingdom of machine, Where mechanical people tread their endless Hxed routine, Where Haste is king and by his side rules Clamor as a queen, Where sidewalks stretch for miles and miles with ne'er a bit of green . . . Birds returning from the Southland set my heart upon the wing, And I'11 leave this place of stone and steel for the countryside in Spring. I'11 leave it for the murmuring hum of wind in newfleaved trees . . . I'll leave it for the lazy, buzzing drone of fuzzy bees, For the cleanly smell of newfturned earth, the far call of wild geese . . . Oh, I'1l leave the town behind me with a feeling of release, For the hills all pale greenfmisted dream before my longing eyes . . . The golden ribbon of the road has tied the blue sky down, And veiled in its murky shroud, behind, the city lies . . . The Far is drawing closer . . . the known is vanishing, As the heart follows the wanderlust through the countryside in Spring. LAUROSE SCHULZBBERGE, H. S. IV. 31 THE BLOTTER fr l , I M Oh Yes, Cornelia? - '1- MRS. PARSONS rocked back and forth, back and forth, the low moaning of the rocking chair a chorus of the little sof' prano knitting needles. Beside her, dressed like her neighbor in her Sunday best , and likewise occupied, rocked Mrs. Dayton, back and forth, back and forth. The bright sun and deep quiet that invariably accompanies Sundays lay all about them. Mr. Parsons came out of the house, banging the front door, and sitting down on the hammock, picked up the Sunday paper. I see that they've been having more robberies this last week. It's all because of having so many rich people come to this village. As no one seemed inclined to argue this remark, Mr. Parsons retired behind the paper. Click, click went the needles. The sound of children's voices a block away drifted through the Sunday calm. Mrs. Parsons pausedin her knitting. 'LWhere do you s'pose that boy is, Benjamin? No answer. Benjamin, I say, where is that-I believe he's asleep. How that man can sleep in the broad daylight with all the noiseg. My, my, just like babies, men are, I told Mrs. Edwards yesterday. Always eating and sleeping. I wonder where can Junior be? Emphasized by an extra hard rock. I told him to come right home after Sunday School, on account of me want' ing to fetch that recipe from Flora. I hardly know what to do with that boy. Yesterday I asked him to get the eggs from Clint's farm, and what does he do but take a dare on the way back to walk on top of the cemetery fence with the egg basket on his head. When he got home, with a big cut on his face and pieces of those eggs that I had paid for all over him, I sent him up to bed and told him I'd never have him get eggs ,for me again. And instead of looking sorry, I could swear I saw a grin a mile Nvide on his face as he went upstairs. 'That boy Qrockj will be the death of me yet! Such a large rock denoted the disastrous effect of her son, that she al' most lost her balance. After considerable struggling, however, she recovered her equilibrium. Mrs. Dayton, not gifted with quite as extensive powers of speech as her friend, contented herself with saying, Boys will be boys, I suppose. Boys will be boys. . Just then the subject of their conversaf tion ran up the porch steps. g'I'm awfully sorry I'm late fpuff, puffj, but Mr. 'Cheston wanted some boys for the choir and I said that I would be in it. H THE BL Junior, said Mrs. Parsons anxiously, what have you been up to? What have you done? ' Nothing, mother. Mr. Cheston want' ed some boys for the choir, that's all. Now Junior, tell the truth. Never bef fore have you offered to do anything like this without there being something wrong. You don't feel sick, do you? inquired the ever anxious mother. After assuring her that he had done nothing particularly wrong, that is as far as he could remember, leaving room for sins that he might have committed un' knowingly, he said casually, trying as every boy does to appear indifferent, Oh, by the way, Tommy has albirthf day next Friday, and Saturday his mother is going to take us all into town to see 'Tom Sawyerf Kin I go, Ma? If Fm good all week? 'Can', not Lkin', said his mother. I'll speakqto Tommy's mother about it. If you are good all week, I'l1 see. Now run along and fetch that recipe. And after he had departed, she added, So that explains the choir business. And a little while later, Poor Mr. Chestonf' Wings would have sprouted on Benny's shoulders if he had been any better be: haved that week. Mrs. Parsons told her neighbor that it was almost worth the price of taking her son to the movies every week, to havelhim as angelic as at present. To the boys, and especially to Benny, that week was the longest ever experienced. However, the eventful day arrived, and alas, was too soon over. That night, the excited boys tucked away in bed, Mrs, Dayton went over to her friend's house to borrow some wool. Mr. Parsons being at a lodge meeting and Mrs. Parsons all alone, Mrs. Dayton decided to stay awhile and chat. After 33 OTTER all topics had been temporarily exhausted, the two women bent over their knitting, oblivious to the outside world. Suddenly a heavy knock broke the stillness of the house, and a gruff voice demanded ad' mittance immediately. Mrs. Parsons screamed and pickeQup the fire tongs, Mrs. Dayton, thinking also of the recent burglaries, ran into the dining room. There was a slight creaking and the lightlyfbolted door flewvopen. There on the threshold were several men, two in the front with pistols drawn. Mrs. Par' sons opened her mouth, but for the first and last time in her life, she was unable to say anything. K The poker fell with a crash to the floor. Poor Mrs. Dayton, her imagination running wild in the dark corner of the dining room, made a noise like that of a disappointed mouse and without further ado fainted away. Mrs. Parsons had meantime regained her voice. What, she said, wishing that she had not worn her cameo brooch, what do you want? To her surprise she was not threatened nor shot with the guns. One of the men stepped up and said quietly, as if he were asking for a drink of water, Pardon the intrusion, madam, but we heard a lady screaming from the upper window and we want to search the second floor. ,Have you any knowledge of there being someone upstairs?2 Mrs. Parsons had not. Furthermore, she did not want a lot oficlumsy detecf tives, as she later put it, messing up her neat bedrooms. Mrs Dayton-I think she has faintedg you had better help her-Mrs. Dayton and I are the only ,ladies in the house. Upstairs there is only my small son. You must be mistaken. Are you sure 'you heard a lady screaming? We didn't, and THE BLOTTER we were both in the living jroom here as quiet as could be. The detectives, eager to search the house, made a move to go upstairs, but the one who had spoken first checked them and said rather impatiently, Madam, we saw someone leaning out of the upper front window and letting out extremely queer noises. If you have no serious objections, we should like to go on up. You might not hear any noise through a closed bedroom door. Mrs. Parsons thought of the neat little second floor, and looked at the muddy boots of the five men. Then she said, Gentlemen, I think I canhexplain. I shall go up and bring down my son, whose bedroom faces the front, and you may question him. The detectives sighed at the follies of women, and nodded assent. Presently she returned, dragging after her by the ear her small and very frightened son, whom she immediately addressed. What, she said grimly, were you doing leaning out of your window at this time of night? Tell the truth, or these gentlemen will take you directly to prison. Benny's idea of prison dated back to that of the Spanish Inquisition, so he answered immediately, his teeth chattering, Well, you see Johnny Dayton and me wanted to catch a burglar like Tom Sawyer and Huck, 'cause, he said with great cunning, I didn't want no burglar to hurt you, Ma. And we was to meow if we saw any serspicious characters around. We did a little practising first, very quiet so as not to disturb anyone, and I saw some people cross our lawn andnslip under the porch. I didn't let them see me, I didn't, but I meowed over to Johnny, and he didn't answer, so I did it again, and then . . That will be all, Benjamin Parsons. I hope you are satished, gentlemen, said his mother in the kind of tone that means, uwait till I give you a piece of my mind, and perhaps worse. Benny shivered, and looked doubtfully at the burly men. The Arm of the Law shuflled out a trifle sheepishly, and, might we say, a trifle disappointedly, amid many apologies. Mrs. Dayton, propped up on the sofa and now fully recovered, got up to go. Well, she said, boys will be boys! And then, upon reaching the door she added, But wait till I get hold of John. M.

IV 35 THE BLOTTER Real Life TOBODY looking at him would have suspected that he was V. Ronald Lad' romee, the future famous young American author. Though countless masterpieces of his had been turned away by ignorant editors, and though his bank account dwindled and dwindled, V. Ronald conf tinued to write and hope. Finally a harassed editor decided to help the bud' ding genius to see himself as editors saw him. Luring the victim into his den with an appointment, he began the mercifully short operation. Look here, young feller, he began, if you had any more brains than a baby, you'd know that when you write a story it's got to be somewhere near possible, or even possiblefsounding, not a lot of dashingfringingfroundfafrosyffolfdef rol. just lookit this, by God, lookit this . . and hauling forth Ronald's newest brainfchild, he proceeded in a scientific manner to shred it, cutting, dis' secting, illuminating, while Ronald writhf ed inwardly. Now, young feller, he finished, if you gotta write, for Lford's sake know what you're doing . . . and if you love life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, don't write any more of this foolishness. Ronald seized the scorned manuscript and fled to a park bench, there to rage, writhe, and weep a bit. After contemf plating various suicides, a monastery, murder, and joining a gang, he counted his money, returned to the tenement in which he lived, and paid his rent. Stick' ing the remaining twoffifty in his pocket, he turned up his coat collar to hide the ragged ruff of uncut hair on his neck, and slouched off to gather 'Ltrue stories and experience. Jack Coben was bored. An income of fifty million dollars and a program of conf tinually pleasing oneself sometimes prof duces boredom. Frowning at his most pleasing reflection in the mirror, he def cided that he was fed up. He didn't want to go to that dance tonight. He was fed up on dances and being pointed out as the best catch in years, my dear , and having debs and their mamas gush' ing at him. He walked to the window, pulled back the curtain, and stared dis' consolately into the street. Yeah, he was fed up .... A raggedy figure ,strolling by caught his attention. His face bright' ened .... Gee a swell idea. He'd play tramp. Though all his sheltered life he had never tolerated even a wrinkled colf lar, he now dashed through the great house, the garage, and the servants' quarters, discarding old clothes because they were not dirty enough. Several hours later, he surveyed himself once more in the mirror. Greasy overalls and a cap from the chauffeur, filthy shirt from the furnace man, and old shoes wrested from the gardner gave local color to his disguise. After sticking out his jaw at various vicious angles and slouchf ing up and down the velvet carpet, he sidled close to his reflection, snarled men' acingly Oh yeah , and departed . Followed a strange night for John Abbingdon Coben, jr. He had brought no money, and after several hours he grew very hungry. His patched tweed jacket did not keep out the bitter wind. Eleven o'clock found him huddled on a park bench, wretched and cold. Yet that same donkeyflike stubbornness that had kept him from surrendering to the wiles of sundry debs now kept him from THE BLOTTER going home one minute before the time he had planned. He looked with new and sympathetic eyes at other homeless vagrants. A boy on a nearby bench drew his particular attention. Gee, either he's new at this game or he isn't any more of a tramp than I am, thought jack, no' ticing that the beautiful, longflashed grey eyes were offset by rather a bulldog jaw. He sticks out of the crowd like a sore thumb .... Wonder what he's after? The boy stared at jack. Presently, after much shivering and restless shifting, he rose, strolled up and down, and finally sat down next to Jack. Rotten night, he began diifidently. 'LYeah, said Jack. The boy fidgeted through the long silence, while an imp of mischief, born of cold and discomfort, stirred behind Jack's eyes. Watcha doin' out on a night like this, kid? he asked in a low rough voice. Gawd, if you got a place to go to, take it from an oldftimer, kid, an' don't git started in a life like dis. I'm just aftrying to tell you that a great kid like you needn't go through what I bin through. Lawd, Lawd . . . what I bin through. He sank back into a hopeless position. Gee . . . tell me, begged the boy, in a husky, excited voice. jack's eyes gleamed mischief. He was silent a moment, then he told him. Borrowing freely from western novels and movie melodramas, as well as his knowledge of geography, and painting all with imaginaf tion, he reeled forth such a tale of woe that a sphinx would have succumbed to grief, and punctuated it with gasps, clutches, silences, and sobs. Lookit me .... Lookit me, he fin' ished finally, amid a storm of gasps and glares, 'hold afore my time . . . broken an' done for. An' what's ahead . . . what's ahead? Springing to his feet, he dashed down the street and was swalf lowed by the crowds. The boy stared after him, shivering with excitement and cold. Getting the goods nrst hand, he WHS. . . . Stretched out in the hot sun, jack Goben gave a tug at his bathing suit and reached for the paper with a bored yawn. As he lazily turned the pages, a pictured face caught his attention. Gee, where'd he seen that face before? He glanced over the printed column. NV. Ronald Ladroniee, eighteen year old genius, creates sensation with his book Park Bench. Jack gasped. The masterfstudy of a tramp. . . . Greatest work of season .... Realisf tic . . . heartfrending. Original and well' written .... Future of this brilliant writ' er is assured ....

How people stared at the halffdressed young man who drove up to the book store, dashed to a counter and yelled for a copy of Park Bench. Leaning on the counter, Jack turned page after page, growing redder and redder with smothered laughter. When he reached the last page, he read the closing sentences of the best seller: Lookit me ....

As he drove off, he burst into another paroxysm of laughter. LAUROSE SCHULZHBERGE, H. S.

Dreams IM and the old man had occupied the same bench for two hours. jim was reading the wantfads, the old man looked too poor even to buy a newspaper. Finally jim shoved the paper into the old man's hands. You one of us downfandfouts, brother? he asked, regardless of the diff ference in their ages. Here, help your' self to a job if you can find anything. Not much going today. The old man handed back the paper. I don't need it, he said. Jim was frankly puzzled. Got a job steady? he asked. I always have my work, said the old man, putting his hand up to his thin white hair. I am a seller of dreams. There was a silence. Then Jim spoke again. How-how do you sell them? he asked, feeling his way cautiously. You pay what you can,'7 said the old man dreamily. Jim took out his small handful of change. A dime, a nickel, four pennies. Then with a quick movement he lay the dime in the old man's hand. The old man looked down at it slowly, and then up at Jim. You wish to buy a dream? he asked. That's right, said Jim. YVhatever you wish to dream about is yours, said the old man, getting up slowly from the bench. Jim watched him go. L'Fool, he mutf tered to himself. Fool He thought of his brother. jerry would have done the same thing. I'd like to dream about jerry, he mused. Guriously enough, he did. He dreamed that they were all back in the old vaudef ville act-Jerry, Tony and Jim. Only somehow Tony was missing. Go and find him, said Jerry. Why Jerry himself didn't go was queer, but that was the way dreams went. Got my money's worth, I guess, said Jim to himself the next morning. He thought about his dream as he walked along, and suddenly he realized that he was near the old Royale Theatre, where they had played when times were good. He stopped in front of it to read the bills, recognizing some of the names as he went along. Then he started eagerly. There, in black and white, was Tony's name. Tony, back at the Royale! He went backstage that afternoon, and he and Tony had the next thing to a family reunion. Say, it's almost as if Jerry were here too, said Tony. Good old Jerry. And now here's this guy all ready to book that act jerry and I used to do, if I can find a partner, and you turn up right out of nowhere. Talk about luck! And we start rehearsin' tomorrow for the big time. Jim felt the ten dollar bill in his pocket as he went by the bench where yesterf day, friendless and jobless, he had given half of his capital for a dream. Go and find Tony, Jerry had said. MARGARET KNAPP, H. S. II. THE BLOTTER Pagliacoi A silence, deep, and awful in its deepness, One single ray of light pierced through the black. The crowd leaned forward, tenseness in their waiting' Then,-orchestra moaned forth the living chords, A tragic note. s The single ray of light fell on the singer. His face was ghastly 'neath his hideous mask, A clown, no earthly use except to mock at, A broken heart concealed beneath his smile: An ugly sight. Then came the gripping splendor of his singing. The crowd forgot their troubles in his grief. On with the show, although my heart be breaking! One sobbing laugh, heartfrending, horrible. His sorrow's told. NANCY KERSHAW, H. S. IV. Heroism IT was in 1916 that Elspeth Briggs wanf dered through fogfdrenched London, seeking a job. She and thousands of other women left destitute by the absence of the family provider were desperately in need of money to feed large families. It was dusk, at least it should have been by the clock, but then it had been dusky all day. The fog, like the war it' self, covered everything and everybody. It brought havoc, disease, and poverty, and when it rose, the light shone on a sombre, tragedyffilled world. Elspeth pulled her thin coat a little closer about her, not that it did any good. The cold and rain had long since seeped through. A little ahead, the light of a bakery made a yellow smudge in the fog. She groped vaguely for the door, ah! there it was. She turned the knob, opened the door and stepped in. At Hrst, the light and heat almost blinded her, but when her eyes grew accustomed to it, she looked about for a table. There was a small one in the corner at which she sat down. There was a paper lying on the chair and as she picked it up, she noticed that it was turned to the wantfad section. Probably it had been left there by some other poor jobfhunting soul. THE BLOTTER She glanced over them, they were all there, she had looked at them a million times before: cook, scullery maid, second maid,-no, she couldn't take any of those if she starved to death. Idly she turned to the front. There on the first page the headlines read, Wanted, Parachute Testers . She read on down the page: As it is very dan' gerous, testing parachutes for the first time, it has been hard for us to get applicants for the position. As all young men have been called to duty, we are forced to look among the women. Who of you is ready to help your country? At the end of the article was the name of the place where one could apply, a familiar name, Croydon, a large airport just outside the city. As she sat waiting for the tea, she thought of the article. Here was a job in no way degrading, and sure to pay well. She would also be helping her country, a thing she had wanted to do since the start of the war but had been unable to manage because of the neces' sity of feeding four little sisters and brothers. , That evening when Tommy, aged six, was kissing her good night, he said, L'Bef, what would Susie and Marcy and Tim and I do without you? You won't ever leave us like Daddy did, will you? His sad brown eyes regarded her seriously. No, precious, Elspeth answered, ref alizing with a pang that if anything happened to her they would have to be sent to an orphanage. Could she risk a life that wasn't all hers? Surely that would be better than letting them starve. She sat by the dying fire until almost morning when at last she reached a def cision. 41 She dressed and fed the children, and then went to board the tram that passed the airport. Before she knew it, she was being hustled into a parachute, and told how to use it. Everyone was hurrying so fast that there was no time to be frightened or turn back. By chance, a bit of conf versation reached her ears. L'You know, Mary, they are using only the old broken and mended planes to take us up ing the good ones are at the front. A chance sentence, but again that fear rushed upon her, not for her' self, but for the children. For a moment she was ready to turn back when she thought of Tommy's pleading eyes, but when she remembered the pinched, hungry face from which they shone, she kept on. Five girls were unceremoniously ushered with her into a plane. A roar, and then unsteadily they rose from the ground. At Hrst a sickish, sinking feeling swept over her, but as they rose higher and higher, it turned to one of exhileration. She felt as if she could keep on flying forever. At last, when they reached a certain height, the door opened, and above the roar of the motor a voice shouted, L'Hey! you number twentyfseven, you're first, come on. Well, it would soon be over, the jump, perhaps her life. U She put her hand on the ring and stood hesitatingly at the open door. Space, space,--miles of it below her. Would she ever reach the ground? She inaudibly uttered a prayer, and stepped out. For a moment she almost lost conf sciousness as she fell through space at a breakfneck speed, then gropingly she pulled the cord. For a moment it felt as if her legs were being jerked from THE BLOTTER her body, and then she found herself slowly descending to the ground as if in a swing, gently rocking. The worst was all over, she could do it again, there'd be food for Susie, Marcy, and Tim, and Tommy's little face would become plump again and there'd be love and warmth for all until Dad returned from the front. When she reached the ground, she picked herself up and struggled from under her white covering. Then she threw up her head and started for the hangar, a mere speck in the distance. ELLEN LOUISE HASENACK, H. S. II. Struggle Within SCORNING the hollow holiness that lay Like a greyfwhite pall upon their brows, Laughing into their eyes, she turned away From their smooth and sharpftoothed sympathies, From their whitefwashed purities and ease, Defiant and unbroken still she fought, Nor asked of anyone, nor gave she aught, But mocked them to their faces when she saw The feared green serpent ope his steaming maw Before their eyes, nor heeded she the cries They tried to mask as kind, reproachful sighs, But often looked she up into the sky, Seeking there the long promised reply To her mute question . . . Then one day stirred Within her heart like stir of sleeping bird Compassion--and she alone did stop The scorching fire of tongues, so that no drop Should burn a hole upon the pure, white page Of Life that was the birthfgift for a child. On her own head she let the torrent pour, Nor bowed beneath its beating and its roar. By night as long she gazed into the sky, She felt within her heart that her reply Would now be written clear, and as she watched, And marveled at the changelessness of Law, Her eyes grew wide and, marveling, she saw The light about the full moon form a Cross. LAUROSE SCHULZEBERGE, H. S. IV. THE BLOTTER The Beggair Ti-IOUSANDS of people-people who were nothing to each other-surged along the dusty street in a big city. The procesf sion divided at one place in the sidewalk. Even the most thoughtless stepped to one side. A beggar passed, a beggar on his knees crawling through the midst of this army of ants. A little box of pencils was strapped neatly onto the middle of his back and every now and then a coin bounced into the carton from the palm of some gentle soul. Slowly the beggar crawled along on his leather covered knees. His face glanced upward at inf tervals, a young face. There was a hard expression knit about his features, how' ever, which seemed to portray years of hardship and worries. Dusk began to filter through the netf work of the tall buildings. The beggar turned his course towards home. He ref alized a feeling of joy as he heard the clink of the coins in his box. That good haul is music, he mutf tered, half aloud. He came at last to a crossing. The crowd had thinned to practically nothing. The clang of bells was heard suddenly from around the corner. The pounding of horses' hoofs resounded on the hard pavement. Then a Hrefengine pulled by sight. It four heavy beasts dashed into heeded no one. It blindly pushed ahead. The few people scuttled to the walk be' side the beggar who remained waiting and indifferent. Suddenly a child darted from a nearby doorway towards the street. An old woman appeared on the threshold shaking her fist at the fleeing figure. Straight for the street and the oncoming horses he ran. The woman on the corner screamed while the men stood incredible who had motionless, aghast. Then an thing happened. The beggar, seemed occupied with his own thoughts rather than the terror about him, rose to his feet. He stamped twice to steady himself and then dashed heedlessly toward the danger. The horses came on. The people stood breathless. The child screamed and slipped in an effort to turn back, Before anyone could recover him' self, the beggar caught up the child in his arms and jumped to safety just as the engine swerved by the unhurt pair. The beggar carried the burden toward the group of people which had gathered. A woman dashed forward with out' stretched arms and took the child. The tears were streaming down her face. Her broken voice murmured, Thank you! God bless you! The rest looked amazed at this man. To them, it had seemed a miracle to watch a cripple rise to his feet when all the rest stood par' alyzed with fear. The beggar stood a moment abashed as they gazed wonder' ingly at him. A few children were gathering up the coins he had strewn on the street when he had risen so hastily. One of them approached him with the nickels and dimes in his little hand. Here, mister, he exclaimed in a small, trembling voice. Thanks, sonny, but keep them. I'm looking for another job. VIRGINIA CHALMERS, H. S. IV. f:iSJ,bf sf T H E B L O T T E R A Fishy Nightmare Lady, play your mandolin, Lady, sing your songlw ANE was humming softly as Bob drew the paddle back and forth, back and forth. From the stern, jim watched them and wondered just how two lovers could get so much pleasure out of a mere ride in a canoe. Even the montonous swish of the water was very annoying, and Jim was al together bored. As he drew his fingers through the water, jim wondered drowsily how it would feel to be a fish, a piece of seaweed might make a line home. As he considered this, he noticed a shiny fish swimming through the swells. Following it, jim felt himself going down through a maze of sea' weed and slimy ooze. Suddenly in a corner he sawia blowiish with a stand before him full of algae buds. Please, mister, it said very respectfully to Jim, k'won't you aid the 'unoccupied blowfish', and buy an algae bud? I am terribly sorry, but I don't know what algae buds are, replied Jim. However, can you tell me who was the handsome dark trout that just passed? 0 1,1 L Gia, 44 THE BLOTTER He? Why he was the mayor. He is giving a barbecue tonight in honor of Commissioner Whale. Why don't you go? You might meet several celebrities. I believe I shall, Mr. Blowhsh. Can anyone attend this affair? Well, are you a democrat? No, but can I crash? Well, maybe. Good luck. Thank you, Mr. Blowfish. I'm sorry about the algae buds. Goodbye. Jim swashed off through the green water. As he left his friend, he realized that he knew neither the place nor the time of the barbecue. As he kept sinking and passing many seaweed homes, he decided to visit one. He stopped at the dwelling of a clam, who was not in the least hospitable. Alf though Jim iwas most polite and made as many efforts at conversation as he could, the clam persisted in keeping quiet. Finally he turned to Jim and said, I do not choose to talk. Jim swam on as quickly as possible. He was having quite a nice swim when he ran into a black object. Evidently it was alive, for it moved and grumbled. Jim swam around it until he found its head, then he realized it was a walrus. Hello, Jim cheerfully ventured. Hello, youngster. Enjoying your' self? The walrus opened one eye. Yes, quite, are you? No, answered the walrus. I hate water. Why? I like it. Don't you like to be wet? Jim was astonished. No ! !! It is detrimental to the American people. This wetness is def vastating! Why if it weren't for prof hibition-and that the government was going to- 'LNever mind, hastily interrupted Jim, and changed the subject. Are you go' ing to the barbecue tonight? Certainly, certainly. Shall I have the pleasure of seeing you there? Perhaps, answered Jim, if yould tell me where it is to be held and when. Aquarium Hall, eight o'clock. Good' bye. As jim went slipping on, he saw a salmon swimming before him. Hey, you, he called, since he didn't know just how else to address him. But the salmon paid no attention until Jim called a second time. Then the salmon splashed water in Jim's face, and slid away. Jim was undaunted. He caught up with the fish, and asked how far it was to the barbecue. It is too far, was the reply. If you like, I will drive you there in my plane. Your plane? Yes-sea plane. Gee--Oh, gosh, Fdwgeewthat would be great, Colonel Salmon. Jim was thrilled. Before long, they were whiz' Zing through the water. Seaweed and shells looked like specks below them. The plane itself, Jim thought, was merely a shell. He soon, however, asked the Colonel. Mister, is it a Snail or a Cocklef shell? Jim was terribly inquisitive. A Seafrobinf' was the answer. I flew from Alaska to Yokohama with her once, and she hasn't failed me yet. What do you feed her? 'Smith Brothers Fish Food', a very good brand. Robin is quite fond of it. I haven't fed her today. She may be hungry. Doesn't she ever get seasick? 'iOnce in a while, the Colonel an' swered, when we hit the bumps. They are swells made by people who ride THE BL around in big shells, and play mandolinsf' Play mandolins? Yes, didn't you know? All people in shells above 'play mandolinsf' Jim didn't know, but he did not admit it. Suddenly he heard a cracking sound. Jump! yelled Colonel Salmon. Robf in has spring fever! S0 Jim jumped. Up, up, up-somehow it didn't feel queer to be ascending. Up, up, up. How he was dreading to hit the top! He wasn't in the least sure what it would be the top of. Up, up, up! Jim, Jim, stop kicking. You'll turn the canoe over! A very familiar voice OTTER was screaming. 'LHuhw-er-what? Oh, hello, Sis. Gee, I guess I have been asleep. Oh, what a dream I've had. Yes, young fellow, you have been sound asleep. And it was a very conf venient slumber of yours, too. Bob was enjoying some joke. Yes, Jim. You see!erYBob and I are engaged. jane was happy. I'Ionest? Well, well. Congratulations. And-uh-while I've been asleep? By the way, may I have the paddle now? You know you won't need it. MARY DALE, H. S. III. In My Garden THE dark clouds vanished with the rain- A rainbow arched the sky- And soon the sun came out again In my garden. Fleecy clouds floated in the azure sky, The breezes gently swayed the row of poplarsg Four straight, tall, green poplars In my garden. Across the velvet lawn a robin hopped. A pretty tea rose wet with dewy drops Smiled at me when Ilpassed the rosebud In my garden. As twilight crept across the sky, I heard a robin call. All these things are mightier than I In my garden. FRANCES SMITH, H, S. IV. 46 THE BLOTTER The Higher They Fly 'IT-IE Canadian Limited had just pulled in. The passengers entered the waiting room and immediately became a part of the bustling crowd. That is, all but one. The man who stood still was dressed in a suit that was obviously readyfmade. His hat did not hidethe shocks of straw' colored hair that protruded from it. His darkly tanned face showed him to be a man accustomed to the out of doors. Twenty feet away, a respectable' looking man and woman stood regarding the farmer. The former took a quick look about him. Seemingly pleased by what he saw, he took the woman's arm and the two approached the stranger. The gentleman tipped Pardon me, may I be of assistance? his hat and said, a stranger 'round wondering where Waal, you see, I'm these parts and I was to put up. Why don't you try the Shannon House? It is inexpensive and the service is excellent. I don't care about the rates. I'm in town to collect some money a feller owes me, and itlll be a heap more'n I'11 need. 'LWell, come along with us. We are staying at the Shannon House and we'll be glad to take you there. Let me inf troduce my wife, Mrs. Turner. Glad to meet you, Mrs. Turner. I'm Jeremiah Hobson of Hobson Center. At dinner that night, the stranger conf fided that he had collected the moneyj owed him. His companions exchanged glances. The sucker was ripe for picking. Say, said the confidence man, Show would you like to make a grand? A grand? What's a grand? A thousand dollars. Gee, that ud be great! , I've got a hot tip from a man in on ss ut the ground floor of a big company. The stock is due for a big rise tomorrow. Done! exclaimed the farmer. He left the room but returned presently with a roll of bills in his hand. This he gave to the confidence man to count. There was two thousand dollars. Turner pocketed it. The three talked for some time until at length the farmer got up to retire. As he reached the door, he turned and remarked casually, I've got about seven thousand dollars in the bank back home that I'd like to put in if this turns out right. After this bombshell, he turned and left, seemingly unconscious of the sig' nihcant glances of amusement and elation that passed between his companions. Due to the prospect of a larger gain, the crooks pawned everything they had to get the thousand dollars they had promised to the farmer. When he arrived the next evening, he was greeted effusively and given three thousand dol- lars, his original deposit and the one thousand dollar profit. Jeremiah was de- lighted but told them apologetically that he would not be able to get the money from home for two more days. They assured him that it made absolutely no difference. The farmer left that night. The two waited three days for him, but Lefty the Hick, king of confidence men, never returned. HENRY MEYER, H. S. IV. THE BLOTTER The Successful Businessman VERYWHERE he went he stepped into cold, slimy puddles. He told himself that he 'must be able to ind a way out. Yes, that was the thing to do, to dis' entangle himself from the Things and find It. He had been chasing wildly back and forth, running around and around in the cold labyrinth, looking for it in the semifdarkness. He was not sure what it looked like, but he somehow knew that he would recognize It if only he could find it. The problem now was to escape from the Things that had been pursuing him for hours and hours, inexhaustible, with green, lurid faces in the gloom, and an annoying habit of jumping at him from behind shadowy corners. He had to keep running. If only he could find It. He came to with a shiver. Darn, he said, picking himself up off the cold, hard floor. That's the second time tonight I've fallen out of bed! Or maybe it's this morning, he added, as an afterthought. The clock by his bedside ticked away approvingly. threatening again. No, time would He picked it up with a air, and then set it down it was of no use. If only stop hurrying him, and give him a chance to think. His dream came back with a flash. The Things in that were always hurrying him. As he dressed in the halfflight of early morn' ing, he wondered what he should say to the boss today. 'lKenton, the old man had said, you know that because of the hard times I'm having to cut down on my men, especial' ly in the advertising department. I can afford to keep only the kmost necessary. Unless you prove yourself indispensable, I shall have to fire you early next month with two weeks' pay. E He remembered how old Kegston had seemed to nod inwardly, as if to say, 'LYes, I'm right about the inefficiency of this man, when Barry had stammered hopelessly, but, sir, what more can I do? He remembered how Kegston had looked superior and smug when he ref plied, A successful business man is never at a loss what to do. Oh well, the fat old guinea pig didn't know everything. He didn't know, for instance, that Kenton had worked over' time evenings without extra pay during someones absence. He'd show the boss! The streets early in the morning were cold and wet like the,maze in his dream. He wondered vaguely, while walking to the office, whether It was the big thing helwould have to do to keep his job. One accomplishment could tide him past the danger era. The corner was like the corner he was about to turn when he fell out of bed. He almost imagined he would see queer, misty faces around it. Suddenly he stopped dead in hisltracks. He had it! He had found IT! At least the idea was materializing rapidly. He grew red and hurried on when he dis' covered that he had been staring blindly at la drugfstore window with such an expression that several people had stopped to gaze curiously at it. There! He had If: now. The curious peoplelhad proved it. Gosh, people were inquisitive. He knew now. He raced down the rest of the block, and tore through the hall to the elevator. Once in his office he opened a window and looked up to the roof 48 THE BLOTTER above. The ofhce was on the top floor, except for a blank space without windows that reached to the roof. Then he sat down at his desk. Picking up the phone he called, Parsons, please. Mr. Parsons was not in yet. But McGinty was in. Yes, he would see to it at once. Rush order. ,Yes, sir. Now for Parsons again- Kenton spent the whole day at his desk without even taking off his light overcoat. But when he went home that night he grinned happily to himself. The next day dawned clear and warmer. Barry nodded his head in approval. Everything was O.K. The world was great! At the door of the office building hve mcn and three women confronted him, reciting the usual unemployment story. All right, he'd use them too. He gave five dollars to each in checks and told them to be outside by noon. Again he glanced up to the top of the building. Parsons had done wonders. Windows and windows, and then, around the roof, a sign, gorgeous in the early sunlight, glittering with bright colors and black distinct letters. A whale of an ad! It would cost like anything, he reflected. 49 But the company had put him on his own ever since the first of the month. At the top of the building was a flag' pole, white and bare, minus a flag, but surmounted by an odd decoration of acanthus leaves, curling back and down' ward along the pole. From the street it resembled an indistinct gray blob. Barry chuckled. At two o'clock, on his way out to lunch, the boss stopped him, shook hands, commented on his good work, and hinted about a raise. Kenton flnallylslipped out to the sidewalk, where he was confronted by a sizeable crowd, gazing intently at the top of the building. It had worked. The hired eight people had stood on the pavement at one of the busiest spots in the city, at perhaps the busiest time of day, staring fixedly at the roof. There was the sign, glaring, startling, reciting the merits of Barry's products, above it the flagpole, swaying ever so slightly in the breeze, with its queer decoration. Say, said a spectator, elbowing him' self nearer Kenton in the crowd, say, you know, dey tink dat iss perhaps de champeen flagpole sitter up der. Ain't dat wonerful? And how! said Barry enthusiastically. MURIEL MILLAR, H. S. III.

MYRTLE KNORPP, So' S. II. night-- H. S. III THE BLOTTER Success ERYL MONROE stepped off the subway and hurried to the street, where she paused. She could not for the life of her remember whether to go to the left or the right. A big city was so conf fusing, and she had asked the same police' man so often which way to go for East 39th Street that she felt sure he would think she was mad if she asked again. But she had to get home-if the word home could be applied to a small apart' ment shared with two other selffsupportf ing girls. She timidly crossed to the center of the street and asked the way. The policeman rasped out an answer and to the her as girl's surprise did not recognize the person who had twice pre' asked him the way to the same Back home they had only one policeman and everyone knew him. Here viously place. all was very different. One could die and not a soul be any the wiser. On the other hand, to a person in Beryl's position, the indifference of a big city was welcome. For when after her father's death she had found that she was worth an even hundred dollars, she was glad to break off old ties and start anew. When she had bought her ticket East, her finances were reduced to fifty dollars and twentyffour cents. Luckily, she had walked into a job on the day of her arrival, but now she was one of the many whose feet pound the city's pave' ments. She unlocked the door of the apart' ment and entered. Pinned to the mantelf piece was a small scrap of paper which briefly stated, Out to dinner with Sam. Home about eleven, Betty. Another note posted a few inches below the first said simply, Got a job as an extra down at Malvern's. Home about eleven, Lou. Beryl sank down on the couch. She could not hold out much longer, no din' ner again tofnight. She had come East with such high hopes, she had wanted to be a writer. Now she was willing to take any kind of work she could get to earn an honest living. For the past three days she had haunted employment agen' cies, but to no avail. Desperate, dis' appointed and halffstarved, she decided to make one final attempt as a writer. The rest of the evening, she spent scribbling at an old desk covered with dust. Her story was finished before the ref turn of the two girls with whom she roomed. It was a very brief narrative, entitled Success . The following morning Beryl determf ined to take her story to the office of The Narrator, a short story weekly. After a very small breakfast in a shabby, little restaurant, she hurried upftown. Having climbed three flights of dirty, carpetless stairs and entered a tiny room marked The Narrator, she was told by a gruff oflicefboy to si' down an' waid a while . Half an hour later the editor, a small, coarse man in a greasefstained, gray suit, presented himself and immediately vanish' ed behind a door marked Private . Twenty minutes more elapsed before the officefboy ambled into the waitingfroom and briefly stated, Those as has any conf tributions for The Narrator, give 'em in. No chance of seein' the editor this morn' in'. His words sounded a death knell to all her dreams! However, she could do nothing but obey. Slowly she descend' THE BLGTTER ed to the heat and noise of the street below. Again she dragged her weary self through innumerable employment agencies without avail. At five o'clock she returned to the apartment. Everything was in utter conf fusion. Pinned to one of the faded curtains were two notes. She was be' coming used to them now. Mechanically she opened one, and in surprise she read, Leaving tonight for Chicago. Got a job with a small show company. Better than staying here and earning nothing. Sorry I couldn't stop to say 'goodfbyf My share of the rent's under the clock in the bedroom. l'll write you from Chi'. Love, Betty. Beryl stared absent- ly out of the window. lt's what she's been waiting for, she murmured. She opened the other note and read, 'LByefbye, girlie. I'm goin' beyond the blue horizon to the place where they make movin' pictures. If you save your pennies and wait long enough, you'll sure see me starin' with John Barrymore. I'll write you later. Love, Lou. Beryl smiled. Funny they should both go on the same day. I wonder if each knew about the other. The postfman cursed his luck and com' menced his climb.

Three days afterward, the following item appeared in an obscure corner of The New 'York Post Standard: Beryl Monroe, author of Success, which is to appear shortly in The Narrator and which has received high praise from the editor of that periodical, who describes it as one of the most promising manuscripts which has lately come to his attention, was found dead in her home yesterday. Miss Monroe's identity was established by a letter from The Narrator found unopened under her door. Her death was due to starvaf tion. EDITH HYsLoP, H. S. II. The Apparition HE awoke in sudden, shrieking fear As the last echoes of a mournful cry Reverberated in his ear Like some lost spirit's cry. His eyes sought blindly for its source Somewhere in this darkened room. His choking breath was loud and hoarse And he heard his heartbeats in the gloom Like raindrops falling on a tomb. Then from a corner of the place Stared two dim orbs of fiery light And gibbering noises ran through space To break the somber, heavy night. He gazed a moment in a daze And then his senses, steady, slow, Returned to him from out the haze And reassured, he muttered low, L'Turn off that darn radio! GEORGE DE LUNA, P. G. THE BLOTTER The Storm TIIE dark clouds vanished with the rain. The sea rolls in, Against the sturdy rocks to dash The white caps, curled Beneath the rain And driven by the storm's fierce lash. I brace myself Against the cliff, The icy spray beats in my face. I walk along Close to the surf, Nor try to ind a sheltered place. Why should I hide From rain or tide? Both sun and storm come from the East! When gales are gone Again the sun Makes rainbows for the eyes to feast. FRANCES SMITH, H. S. IV. Panic TI'IERE is no need to talk to me of financial crises. My few years have seen one experience -that has all the earmarks of a panic. I have never had very many deals involving money. To be sure, there has been the occasional loan to a fellow, and more frequently, a loan from another. On just one occasion in this simple circle of credit was there anything really to disturb me. Like most of the adventures that have brought me trouble, this took place at Cornwall. As a rule I spent my allow' ance as quickly as I could. There were a few months, however, when I became thrifty. During the previous summer I had met a sweet, darkfeyed girl in Ohio. The usual autumn letters that follow such an acquaintance had brought forth a promise from me to see her at Christf mas. There was one obstacle. Father had definitely told me that I could not go unless I saved at least half of the fare from my fall allowance. The last of November came and I had saved twentyfnve dollars. To possess it made me nervous. I was constantly afraid that I should spend it. Therefore, when Salmon, who lived across the hall, asked me to lend him twentyffive dollars until the fifteenth of December, I felt that this was a fairly safe way of meet' ing the problem. I did not know that Salmon had promised to lend twentyffive 'THE BLOTTER dollars to Johnston, who was trying to get it for Teczescyinski, who owed it to Schober. Salmon didn't have the money himself and borrowed it from me. Three weeks passed. On December 15th, while going to math. class, I said to Salmon, Don't forget I'm to get twentyffive dollars from you today. He looked up a bit surprised and said, I had almost forgotten it. I'll get it for you at noon. When I met him at luncheon, he had He told money at a guilty expression on his face. me that he would have amy dinner. He did not appear at dinner. I was worried. At nine o'clock I knocked and then at his door for five minutes was admitted. 'I cannot repeat the starnf mering apologies with which his story. It was something He had hoped I should not money till after Christmas, because he needed it himself. The Christmas dance was to be held on the seventeenth. He invited the only girl . He simply to have the money. What worried he began like this: need the had had him was that he did not have the twenty' five dollars which he owed me, but he expected to get it from Johnston. The next day a visit to Johnston ref vealed that Johnston did not have the money but expected to get it from Teczescyinski. Johnston had hoped that Salmon would not expect the twentyffive dollars until after the holidays because he, too, had invited a guest to the dance. Within a short time all of us visited Teczescyinski. Yes, he had the money, but he could not pay his debt because Sigrid was coming to the dance and he had to keep it to meet his expenses. I do not think I could repeat all the angry words that followed, but three of us were in hopeless situations. Johnston sprained his ankle. Salmon went to bed with an attack of tonsilitis. At least this is what their hasty telegrams stated to their sweethearts. Teczescyinski went to the dance. He kept the money. Some' where in Cambridge, Ohio, a darkfeyed girl decided to write to me no more. Then there came the usual depression which follows every panic-but it could hardly be classed an economic.

Ma mere, mes deux soeurs, et moi nous nous sommes decidees ai aller Voir ce cimetiere du Vieux Mentone dont nous avions tant entendu parler. Munies d'un petit dejeuner tout a fait frangais, du fromage, du Chocolat sur de petits pains, et pour completer le dejeuner, du vin rouge, habillees de vetements chauds, chargees de la corbeille pleine de bonnes ehoses, nous etions enfin pretes. Nous avons choisi la route du Cote de la mer et nous marchions depuis une heure quand nous sommes arrivees aux escaliers qui menent au cimetiere. Pendant plus d'une heure et demie, nous sommes passees par de petites rues etroites, sales, jonchees de papier, et remplies de gamins qui s'amusaient. Les vieilles maisons, faites de pierre jaune, etaient si pres les unes des autres que les toits se touchaient. Et puis, avec le linge qui sechait suspendu aufdessus de nos tetes, il n'y avait presque pas de lumiere. Bientot les maisons, les odeurs, et les cris des gamins etaient bien derriere nous, et de nouveau on respirait cet air frais et sale de la mer et l'on marchait en plein soleil. La route que nous suivions etait bien raide, et quand nous sommes arrivees a notre but, nous etions bien fatiguees et nous avions grand'faim. Done la pref miere chose que nous avons faite ce fut de nous asseoir sous un de ces beaux cypres, qui sont si majestueux et verts sur la Cote d'Azur, et d'ouvrir le panier au dejeuner frangais. Mais au moment ou nos yeux se reposaient sur cette vue, notre fatigue et notre faim furent vite oubliees, Devant nous reposait tranf quillement le cimetiere, 51 droite et a gauche et derriere nous, on ne voyait que le bleu fonce de la Mediterranee. Ce bleu turquoise, que je ne peux guere deerire et qui nous rendait toutes muettes, THE BLOTTER devenait grisatre quand le vent frelait sa surface. Et ici si haut, si pres du ciel, on n'entendait que le battement des vagues quand elles se brisaient contre les rochers, De nouveau, nos yeux ne voyaient que le cimetiere tres calme, sous le soleil et les hauts cypres. Aufdessus, dans les cieux, quelques nuages flottaient vers l'horiz.on et disparassaient dans l'iniini. Bient6t nous fimes un tour dans le cimetiere. La solitude etait grandeg elle semblait vouloir nous faire apprecier la beaute de ce lieu. En regardant les noms ecrits aux tombeaux, nous avons vu des noms d'Americains, de poetes anglais, de Russes, et enfin de personnes de tous les pays. je suppose que quand ces per' sonnes ont vu ce cimetiere si beau, elles ont demande d'y etre enterrees. Et, avant de descendre vers la ville, je ne pouvais rn' empecher de jeter encore un coup d'oeil sur ce petit coin. Le soleil baissait, tout etait change. Les pierres tombales etaient de couleur rubis, l'ombre que faisaient les Qypres, etait violetteg enfbas les maisons avaient deja l'air sombre et de petites lumieres com' mengaient a briller. Cette scene m'avait seduite et ma mere eut toutes les peines du monde a me faire reprendre le chemin qui reconduisait at la vie banale de tous les jours. JULIANA HOBAN, H. S. IV. Voulezfvous chere madame Faire une promenade par ici? Les violettes sont toutes en fleur. Pour elles, consentez, je vous prie. Ah venez faire une promenade. Pour vous, vivent toutes les fleurs, Votre presence fait leur delice. Elles vous adorent, et moi! je meurs. MARGARET KNAPP, H. S. II. lLce Bonlhleiuur' Pour etre heureux je pense qu'on a besoin de trois choses. Je crois que la plus importante c'est d'etre optimiste. Quand on est optimiste on peut s'amuser toujours quelles que soient les circonf stances ou l'on se trouve et puis on a le vrai bonheur. ll est aussi tres important d'avoir de bons amis. Cet element est presque aussi important que d'etre op- timiste. C'est une chose merveilleuse que d'avoir de bons amis et on ne peut pas en avoir trop. Toute la vie il est interessant de voir ses anciens amis. C'est toujours un grand plaisir. La derniere chose d'importance est d'etre en bonne sante. On n'a pas besoin d'argent quand on est optimiste et quand on est en bonne sante. Un peut traviller dur et s'amuser en meme temps. Voila les trois choses les plus importantes qu'il faut at mon avis pour se procurer le bonheur. HELGA HOLCH, H. S. III. THE BLOTTER Portrait De Ma Ma meilleure amie a seulement deux ans, et elle s'appelle Ann. Mon Dieu, qu'elle est mignonne, un amour de petite fille! Il n'y a point de mots qui puissent la decrire. Mais je vais essayer de le faire de mon mieux. V Ann a les cheveux tres blonds, les yeux bleus, les joues bien roses, un tout petit nez retrousse, les levres minces et rouges, et de toutes petites dents blanches. Elle est assez ronde, ses mains sont tres petites, ses pieds sont petits aussi, et ses jambes ne sont ni grosses ni maigres, elles sont tout a fait bien. Elle est toujours habillee de rose, de bleu ou de blanc. Ses robes sont garnies de dentelle, et elle porte des souliers blancs presque tout le temps. Ann et moi sommes de vraies amies. Elle vient me voir tres souvent avec sa gouvernante, et puis je lui rends Visite aussi. Ann aime enormement les animaux, mais je crois bien que mon cheval, Dixie, lLa Salle La porte s'ouvre. Silence.

Nous sommes allees a cheval, et il n'y a pas de mots qui puissent exprimer notre joie. Comme nous avons chante, ri, et parle! Nous avons mange et puis nous sommes allees dans un petit bateau. Vers cinq heures nous sommes retournees chez nous, et je crois bien que Ann a bien Clormi cette nuitfla. Ann est une vraie petite Americaine, et je crois bien que quand elle sera grande et plus agee elle sera tres svelte cle taille et tres charmante comme le sont bien des Americaines. CATHERINE HOBAN, H. S. IV. ccll9lEturdlce ricannements. De temps en temps bien entendu on etudie, car il y a at la fin un compte it rendre. Mais au printemps, avec le soliel luisant par la fenetre entr'ouverte, et l'air chaud, il est tout a fait impossible aux jeunes eleves d'etudier. On passe le temps jusqu'a trois heures aussi bien que pos' sible. Car toujours, pour nous at l'ecole, l'etude au printemps n'est rien qu'un supplice auquel on veut echapper, mais que l'on doit subir.

Ll llll7D IITFDAIE7 f , l M, f IYIUIILIILIIIH 1 , Lawrence 'Tiioivms EDWARD LAWRENCEYS first trip to Arabia was on a Cook's Tour . Arrivf ing at Beirut, he exchanged his European clothes! for those of the natives. He soon discovered he had to learn Arabic or go hungry, so he learned many dialects, which proved invaluable in laterktimes. When the World War broke out, he was there as an English archeologist. He went to Cairo and tried to enlist with Kitchener, but was turned down as physically unfit. When the Arab revolt began, Lawrence saw a way to help the Allies, as well as his friends the Arabs. ,Accompanied by a strong Arab leader and with a little help from the British, he kept the,Turks so busy they couldn't spare troops to help Germany. Lawrence forced the Turks into Me' dina and kept his Arabs supplied with food and ammunition at the expense of Turkey. He blew up the supply and troop trains, wrecked bridges and def molished tracks. The Turks could not leave Medina and yet they could not stay. Whatever they did would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Allenby, the English General, had a large army which, with the help of Lawrence, could have taken Damascus. But the Germans were making a hard drive in Europe and all of Allenby's army, except two regiments, was sent to France. Lawrence figured they could trick the Turks by a fake army. He 'decided to attack the town of Derea. He arranged to have the Turks informed that he was to attack Amman, a port on the Red Sea, some distance from Derea.l Lawrence sent men to buy up all the grain and made it appear to befor Allen' by's army. Thousands of old wornout tents and horse blankets were sentlfor. These he tied across bushes to resemble an army on horses. At night they built large fires and made new pontoon bridges across the Jordan. From the air the Turkish scouts looked down on what appeared to be -an enorf mous army. The ruse was a success. Theyxsurprised the Turks and captured Damascus. After the war, when Lawrence was again in England, rank and decorations were offered him but he modestly refused. He joined the air force as a private and went to India where he chose to be known as Aircraftman Shaw . CONSTANCE HOWARD, Grade VII.

THE BLOTTER Recollections ol? .loel Chandler Harris fAs told to me by my mother, OVHEN mother was of school age, she attended a convent in Washington, Georgia. While there, she formed a close friendship with Lillian Harris, daughter of Joel Chandler Harris, the author of the Uncle Remus stories. Mother's vacaf tions were usually spent at the Wren's Nest , as the Harris home in Atlanta was called. It was a beautiful, peaceful old place, set back among flowers and trees where birds of every kind made their home. Mr. Harris lovedxhis garden and often remained there for hours, thinking up a new story. He wasla very lovable man, always joking with those about him, but did not encourage strangers. He refused to talk over the telephone and was never seen without a hat except at ,the table. Mrs. Harris always called her husband Versufuss . They had four sons and two daughters. Typical of southern hospitality, ,twenty was the average number who sat at their table. They had an old colored cook namedIChloe, who was a character and furnished material for many a story. Frank Stanton, the poet and author of Mighty Like a Rose , was a neighbor and was known to scribble poems while sitting on the Harris porch. These he often rolled up and threw away. Mr. Harris once rescued one of them and had it published. James Whitcomb Riley often visited his friend Uncle Remus . These gentle' men were certainly most' entertaining and kept the large home circle in constant laughter. Mark lTwain, Rudyard Kipling, and Theodore Roosevelt were among his friends. When he dined at the White House, the New York Sun contained an article saying something about the President wanting to ask Uncle Remus if he truly believed a rabbit and a fox could hold a conversation in negro dialect! , Mr. Harris was always kind and friendly to the negroes. He went among them, told them stories and urged them on to tell theirsf In this ,way he got material for his writings. He loved his family, corresponded entertainingly with his young children when away, and even found time to write their friends. Mother treasures a very humorous letter, in which he ,tells his experiences while serving on a jury. Whitcomb Riley wrote that everything about Joel Chandler .Harris represented Love and Laughter.

' The jaguar's body can not be compared with the long, lithe body of the puma. In South America the puma is known to protect man. With his lightening speed and powerful muscles that roll beneath his tawny hide, he is able to inflict serious wounds. He can even kill his cousin, the jaguar. People who think the puma is a coward are wrong, because he shows great courage in his battles with the lordly jaguar. Besides his swiftness on the ground, he is also capable of climbing trees. In North America great battles occur between the puma and the grizzly bear, and the grizzly usually comes out second best in the struggle. RALPH DAWSON, Grade IV. - Christmas HRISTMAS is here.

Then he soared straight up and on againj About noon, when nearing his destinf ation, he bent down in his cockpit to pick up a glove.

Mr. and Mrs. Robin had come back from the South and wanted to start housefkeeping. They decided to build their nest in the maple tree. Mrs. Robin ran out to the field to get some grass. I., Mr. Robin ran for some mud, ribbon, and string. After the nest was fin' -x ished, Mrs. Robin saw a T5'+:55l'f 11 little piece of cotton on a V - bushf She asked Mr. Robin to get it. In a very few minutes he was back. Mrs. Robin put the cotton in the nest and made it warm and comfortable. She thought she had a lovely home and yet it was too lonely. Robbers might come and steal it, but she thought that she must do her duty as a good wife and be contented. Mr. Robin seemed to know his wife didn't like the home. He ruff fled his feathers as if he were angry, and finally said, Isn't this a lovely home? She said, Charming, but lonesome. Mr. Robin stretched himself out and strutted along the branch of the tree, saying, Dear wife, I wish you would give up such foolish ideas. Didn't I prof tect you last year? Mrs. Robin said, Yes, but I haven't been able to sleep for several nights as I heard the bluejays talking. They are planning to come over here. I am so afraid. Mr. Robin only laughed to think his wife feared he wouldn't protect her. However, she decided to be happy and contented, so started preparing the eve' ning meal. They both enjoyed eating 66 worms, lady bugs, and blossoms. They lived happily for a few months. Then some naughty bluejays came and frighened them from their nest. Their feathers flew and cries were heard. Mr. and Mrs. Robin had to leave and build another nest. The bluejays remained only a short time, for Mr. Cat came prowling around one night and gave himself a good meal. MARY CATHARINE MACDONALD, Grade IV.

My Trip 'Up Mount Washburn UNE morning during our stay in Yellow- stone National Park, we took a trip up Mount Washburn to see the sun rise. NVe had to be ready by four o'clock. We rode along quite slowly, for it was dark and the road was steep, narrow, and winding. At last we reached the top. It was all covered with snow and ice. There was a little house on the top in which we were served coffee and sandwiches for breakfast. The sun rose beautifully that morning as the day was clear. We were 67 ten thousand feet above sea level. Huge of fog overhung the valleys be' us. banks neath On our way down, we saw two big moose under the trees playing with each other. There were many wild animals in the park, but it was a treat to see the moose as they usually hide in the forests. Bears were plentiful, and while they inf vaded the hotels at times, I'm sure they were not at all as tame as many visitors seemed to believe. IRIS GOSSNER, Grade V.

Suddenly from the bushes ran a tiny baby deer, jumping after the others just like a rabbit. MADITH SMITH, Grade VI. THE BLOTTER A Beautiful Garden A long time ago, a man had a garden filled with lovely flowers, morning glories, gardenias, poppies, roses, tulips, lilies, and many others. This man lived in a house where he could look out of his window and see the flowers. On sunny mornings the flowers were veryibeautiful. They would nod their heads to each other as if to say, How do you do? The verbena would cry cut, Oh, you lazy poppy, yOu're half asleep. Why don't you get up and dance with us? The poppy would look around very red in the face, blushing to think she had been so lazy. One morning a humming bird came along and asked the different flowers for some honey. They told him he was too late, Bumble Bee had been there hours before. The roses called him over to them and they gave him all the honey he wanted. Then he went back to his nest very happy. There were some little flowers in the corner of the graden where no one ever came to see them or to gather them. They often sighed, but one day Tulip heard them and told them not to mourn. Everyone couldn't be beautiful. The little clovers only wished they could live in the fields where the BOssy would eat them. Finally a little girl came running into the garden and went over to the clover bed and picked them all to decorate her mother's sun parlor. The pink and white clovers just matched the curtains and her mother was very pleased. NORMAN SMITH, Grade IV.

With the robins' cheery song. I saw them, so I know. DOROTHY PFEIFFER, Grade V. Thoughts AS I was lying on the sand The hot sun shining down on me, It seemed just like a dreamer's land An endless land all sky and sea. I felt so strange, I know not why. I wondered how all came to be. While on the seashore I did lie, Those long, long thoughts came over me.

Choral Club Gives Two Programs E of the Choral Club, under the direc' tion of Miss Thomas, have had a happy and profitable season. Our first recital in conf nection with the Christmas program given by the Dramatic Club, was, we hope, an inf dication of what our training in the essen' tials of music has accomplished. The song we offered was a French carol, Le Sommeil de Venfant jesus. This, of course, was just a sample of our vocal powers. The real exhibition of our prowess came on April lst, when our annual spring concert was held. The first group included It ls Only a Tiny Garden, by Wood, The Gypsy Trail, by Galloway, and The Awakening, by james. The second group presented Where My Caravan Has Rested, by Hermann, The Bells of St. Ma1fy's, by Adams, and The Brownies, by Leoni. As a reward for our year's work, we were given the opportunity to hear Wagner's Lohengrin at the Metropolitan, which was a fitting and memorable close of our season. MARGARET KNAPP, H. S.

After going through a whole season of seven games, in six of which we were victorious and in one of which we tied, we were challenged by the AllfNew York Team. This challenge was the greatest honor our hockey team has ever received. We lost the contest by one point 6--5, after a strenuous game, but a game which we shall all remember as the most enjoyable and exciting that we have played. During the season a great deal of our success was due to the excellent stick work displayed by some of our players. Dorothy Wicke, Frances Vogel, Anita Farrington, Nancy Kershaw, Margaret Vahlsing, and Virginia Chalmers, who has been our captain for- two years, were among the best, all of them displaying a quality of stick work which might well be copied by other players. Virginia Chalmers as center forward ably supported by Margaret Vahlsing, goal guard and Frances Vogel, full back, was responsible for most of the scoring for KewfForest, as usual. Our basketball season, though not as successful as hockey, was nevertheless very gratifying. We lost only three out of the ten games that we played. Virf ginia Chalmers, captain for the past two years, and Margaret Vahlsing, by their excellent technique, did much to aid the KewfForest team. They were well sup' ported by Dorothy Wicke and Anita Far' rington. For a while in both hockey and basketball seasons we suffered from the loss of Anita Farrington, one of our oldest and most experienced players, due to the fact that twice she broke her ankle. We feel that we owe the success that we have had to Miss Butler's excellent coaching. Throughout both seasons for the past two years we have been led by the cap' able captain, Virginia Chalmers. In hockey and in basketball she has led us to the top. For five years she has been playing on both teams. In that five years she has made 48 goals in hockey and 829 points in basketball. Whatever she undertakes, from Leaders Club to basketball she comes out right on top. How else could it be that she has been President of the Leaders Club, Captain of the Reds, Captain for two years of both hockey and basketball teams, and an important officer in other organizf ations. For as far back as we can ref member, it has been Ginny who has been the athlete, Ginny the reliable one, Ginny the leader, Ginny the victor, we know we are safe in saying that Ginny's name is the inspiration of all the KewfForesters to come. NANCY KERSHAW, H. S. IV. THE BLOTTER Reds and Blues Compete Throughout Year Culmiuating in Field Day C VITH the beginning of january, the Red and Blue Contest is hailed with enthusif asm by all the contenders, from the girls in Grade Il through those in the High School. The contest creates a spirit of cooperative emulation among all the com- petitors. More than an athletic competif tion, the activities of the Reds and the Blues provide scope for mental as well as physical prowess. Stunt Night grows in importance an' nually with the opportunity it offers to those pupils whose talents lie in the line of dramatics or music. This year the Blue Team was awarded honors in both the Song and Stunt Contests. In the Lower School, the Reds and Blues compete at dodgefball, kickfball and cornerfball. In the High School, the two teams oppose each other in tennis, basket' ball and other forms of sport. Field Day provides competition and arouses enthusiasm. The excitement ends only with the announcement of the win' ner at the Girls Athletic Association Ban' quet, held late in May. The Reds were Roslyn Marsh, Captain of Blues THE the Winners in 1927, 1929 and 1930, while the Blues were victorious in 1928.

The members of this team are not only furnished with the best football knowledge, but are encouraged to be good sports at all times. During their first encounter on the gridiron, with the Daniel Boone Club of Great Neck, the team as a unit func' tioned perfectly and showed to good advantage the tutelage of Mr. Tharpe. They defeated their opponents by a score of 18-0. Their next game with P.S. 35 of Hollis also proved to be a victory for the Red and Blue team, the score being 12-O. But, the road to success is not always a smooth one, for the Hollis AllfAmericans came over to Forest Hills and proved to the local boys that they could not expect to win always. We were defeated by the small score of 6--O. Their final game, played on the field, added another Forest's collection, for they defeated their opponents by a score of 12-7. Adelphi Academy victory to Kew' 86 McGill, Lockwood and Meyer showed particular promise and in a few years they will prove invaluable to the varsity team.

Its purpose is to make knowledge NEVVS-as fascinating as the news pre- senvted in your daily paper, The best de- scription of its style might be Anatole France's remark, Only by amusing one- self can one learn. In order that know- ledge be properly digested, it must be swallowed with good appetite. To make this new work complete as well as fascinating, great specialists were called upon-authorities such as Elihu Root, Herbert Hoover, Helen Keller, Henry Ford, Oliver Lodge, .l. Arthur Thomson and Jolm Galsworthy. Each of 'these has written on a subject upon which he or she is entitled to speak with special authority. Elihu Root, for example, has written on citizenship and government. Helen Keller has written on the education of the blind, and Henry Ford on education in industry. Sir Oliver Lodge has contributed various ar- ticles on physics, and Professor J. Arthur Thomson many articles dealing with bi- ology and the life processes. Jolm Gals- worthy has written on civilization. Many others might be added to the list. Ray Stannard Baker has written on the Versailles Treaty, Robert Rursa M-oton on the progress of the Negro. Other au- thorities have contributed articles of im- portance and interest. To make each page attractive and each fact clear, the picture collections of- the entire world were comlbed for their pho- tograpkhic treasures. DOUl3l,EDAY'S ENCYCLOPEDIA in 10 strikingly illustrated volumes, is the most convenient and useful work of its kind in existence today. You need but to look within its covers to appreciate the simplicity, concisencss and accuracy of its articles, the informative value and interest of its illustrations, and to ac- quaint yourself with the wide range of its authorities, who have been chosen for 'their knowledge and their ability to ex- press themselves clearly and to the point. To enable you to get the full import of this entirely new viewpoint in the pre- paration of an encyclopedia, the publish- ers would like to send you Cof course, without obligationj an inlteresting book- let of sample pages. Where Shall We Send Your Copy of This Free Booklet ? The publishers will send you this large booklet of L sample pages, many Of W them in full color.

Besides, the Tennis and Gardens Apartments are practically an apart- ment hotel With excellent restaurant, also real kitchens and electric refriger- ation, attended elevator service, etc. The tenantry is most carefully se- lected-more like a fine club than an apartment building. Meals will be served to your apartment if desired. From time to time we have: l Room .... S 50 3Rooms . . . 70 4Rooms . . . 100 5 Rooms . . . 170 Prices very moderate and fair.

Seems like a long pull from plumber to that school-girl complexion , doesn't it? But they are closer than you might think. Oh! No! We don't give beauty treatments orwmassages-nor do we give permanent waves, but we do sup- ply permanent relief from household clrudgery. Water heaters and pipes that are clogged with dirt supply water for your bath, that is hard on the skin- it grimes and fills the spores in a way that you might never notice until the damage is done-and it is so easy to avoid. Scouring antiquated sinks and trying to polish worn out faucets and other fixtures, doesn't improve the appear- ance of your hands and you may not realize it until the next bridge party, when you compare your hands with the others at your table. Continual tinkering with your heating equipment in the dusty smokey cellar can be practically eliminated and will save a lot of cold cream. There are lots of ways that your plumber can help to keep you young and attractive. Stillwaggons' house- hold improvements last a lot longer than the best complexion ,treatment you ever had. W. A.
