THE QUADRANGLE 1918 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF LaGRANGE COLLEGE LaGRANGE, GEORGIA O you who represent us in the service of our Coun- try, to you who fight our battles for us, to you who have put aside personal happiness to learn the deeper joy of service for others, we dedicate this vol- ume of happy school memories. Truly, words are empty things with which to express our ap- preciation of the noble part you are playing in thus leaving every- thing you hold dear, to help bring about the triumph of truth and democracy for all nations and all times.

(9 o a 3 FOREWORD We present this volume of the Quadrangle to our friends in the hope that through it they may in some measure come to enjoy with us our work and play, and to our fellow students in the hope that in after years it may be to them as a mirror in which they may see re- flected the joys and sorrows of ' 18. — The Editorial Staff Nineleen-Eighteen THE QUADRANGLE Editors of the Quadrangle Mardel Taylor . .

Speaking of man-killers, hail the chief of the tribe. And none of us can quite decide which weapon she uses. Is it her Mona Lisa smile? Or does she possess the persuasive powers of a vampire? Or is she just plain irresistible? We don ' t know, or ever will know, or ever understand. But we know she has charms for we have all fallen, and it is no new thing for her to have some poor, stricken mortal of the sterner sex wax poetic on the strength of her lips, her eyes, her hair. We haven ' t forgotten that Spring drive on the Western front when that little town of Auburn was captured. Nineteen-Eighteen THE QUADRANGLE ! I Lollie Maud Harris, A.B., Cartersville, Ga.

President of Spanish Club, 1916, 1917. Glee Club, 1917, 1918. President of Student Body, 1918. Lollie Maud (My! how she hates that combination!) has the distinction of being the littlest girl in the class, with Little Nellie running her a close second. If laughs were horses, we would judge her E. M. F. to be 1 ,000,000 horse power. But you know horses can carry you over lots of rough places. She and Nellie have the distinction of remembering when the campus had no trees on it, and when in calisthenics they used to pantomime The Maiden ' s Prayer. But they wouldn ' t like for that to get out. Maud has tried being a Senior once before, but she doesn ' t say it ' s any easier the second time. Since Shakespeare is her all-absorbing study, we fittingly add this quotation: If privileges be the food of Seniors, lay on. THE QUADRANGLE Nineteen-Eighieen Duane Campbell, A.B., LaGrange, Ga. Campbell Kid. If it ' s Duane that smiles, then it ' s O ' Lura that doesn ' t. To be sure that they have dresses and coats alike, that is, the same length, the same color, the same weight, their clothes are imported. When you look out across the campus, and see two moving splotches of grey or tan, you involun- tarily exclaim, The Campbells are coming. One day Duane didn ' t come to school. We wondered why. When she gave as her excuse that her mother had awakened O ' Lura twice that morning, thinking she had called them both, and she slept peacefully on, we understood. Nineteen-Eighteen THE QUADRANGLE O ' Lura Jane Campbell, A.B., LaGrange, Ga. Campbell Kid. Now I ' m not sure whether it ' s Duane or O ' Lura that I ' m writing about, but what difference does it make? It ' s all in the family. If it ' s O ' Lura I ' m telling you about, then see next page. If not, see here. Duane has brown eyes; so has O ' Lura. O ' Lura has brown hair; so has Duane. They, that is the twain, have something in com- mon with the Sphinx — the knowledge of the ages and the power to withhold it. If you ' re not right sure of which is which, just say, Olane-dura. If they both stop and you wish to speak to one, well — I leave it to you to solve. THE QUADRANGLE Nine teen-Eighteen Mary Kate Clements Woodbury, Ga.

President of Irenian Society, 1918. Executive Board, 1918. Tri Chi, Psi Sigma. How hard it is on Mary Kate that she is not an Argus and a centipede, both at the same time. My! If she were thus equipped, she would put the energy of Niagara Falls to shame. Hours may come, hours may go, But she ivorfys on forever. There is only one time for relaxation, and then she tarrieth long at the mirror. No stubborn lock of her raven hair is left un- controlled, even if it takes two boxes of in- visible hair-pins to break its will. Should one ion of face powder prove boisterous, straight- way with her coaxing would he become passive, and with a heart resigned, sub- missive, meek, he ' d stay where she placed him. Knowing all this we give her fair warning when she is to appear in public, and we, also, understand and appreciate her well- groomed appearance. Nellie Virginia Humber Lumpkin, Ga. Diploma in Piano Little Nellie, Sis Nellie, Ittle Bitty Vice-President of Junior Class, 1917. President of Senior Special Class, 1918. Treasurer of German Club, 1917. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet, 1917, 1918. Glee Club Pianist. Irenian Society, Beta Tau, Psi Sigma, Delta Phi Sigma. Little Nellie began her mincing step along the path of life sometime ant bellum magnum, and her first step, so Plutarch tells us, was toward the piano stool. True to the adage, Coming events cast their shadows be- fore them! ' ' The wonder is growing as to how two small hands can do all they do in making an ordinary grand piano sound like a symphony orchestra. If she continues to help the Fates along, why we may be pay- ing $5 a ticket to hear her. Of course, she has other interests, loo, — Wh ere there ' s a WILL there s a t ay, ' ' Where there ' s a WILL there ' s a yea! Nineteen-Eighleen THE QUADRANGLE Jennie Mae Erwin Calhoun, Ga.

However, there were losses as well as gains, for this Jennie Mae Erwin left behind a big, happy heart to be divided among several (she s just that big-hearted). In real war- fare, they say the general with humor is never the loser. Luck to you, Jennie Mae! Your fate is spelled Why, just think of the damage one of her smiles can do! I ' ve seen the recipient of one of these broad, beaming smiles fatten and prosper, while a party of the second part would turn green, sicken, and fade away. Just see what the careless love have did! Harriet Elizabeth Rains Maysville, Ky. Diploma in Home Economics Pete, Snoops, Princess Secretary Senior Class. Class Testator, 1918. Irenian Society, Tri Chi. Everybody feels toward Harriet as they do toward a Victrola. They watch it and watch it and still can ' t quite figure out where the music comes out. Its fascinating to watch her mouth work. She is troubled with avocations as well as vocations, in fact she can hardly decide which to make which. Basketry and craft-work are fun, and so are cooking and sewing. Leave it to her — she ' ll figure it out the easiest way. Every- body wants her formula for those wonderful eyelashes. THE QUADRANGLE Nineteen-Eighteen Clara Josephine Evans Walnut Grove, Ga. Diploma in Home Economics June ' I reman Society. K. K. Club. If you really want to know this maiden ' s sha} dove (Roosevelt French) just hang around the Domestic Science kitchen some afternoons and have her toss you a chicken croquette on a hot roll out of the Domestic Science window. If they prove to be too rich for you, you ' d die happy with a smile on your lips. Man without a cook, take no- tice! Even if she divorced you because a lemon pie had alienated your affections, she could make her living as a modiste for the royalty. (Oh, I forget they are rather passe). Well, anyway, she could design Uncle Sam ' s costume and an everyday and a Sunday one for Liberty. Mary Lizzie Wright Elberton, Ga. Diploma in Piano Jimmie Vice-President Senior Special Class, 1918. Secretary of Y. W. C. A. 1916, 1917. Secretary of Mezzofantian Society, 1915-16. Lierman Club, 1916, 1917. K. K. Club. At one time in Mary Lizzie ' s life, if Shy- lock had asked her for a pound of flesh, it would have been a modest request, and one immediately granted. She got hold of Madame Somebody ' s method and now has been reduced wonderfully. She and Clara have been the guardian angels in charge of the flag. We wonder upon whose shoulders this mantle will fall. But Mary Lizzie is a saucy angel, and that may be because her wings have not reached full growth. Should you cross her thresh- old unannounced, you would be lucky to es- cape un-hatted, un-collared, un-tongue-ed ! Nineteen-Eighteen THE QUADRANGLE Francis Elizabeth Black Calhoun, Ga.

Fannie rose to the occasion and showed herself no skeleton in armor. Her hat-size, so to speak, moved up about ten notches and her chest expansion increased by two feet. She realized full well that great burden that rested upon Joan s shoulders (that armor must have weighed fifty pounds). We won ' t call it conceit, but it has al- ways been a mystery to us that the very species homo that the Fates shoved into her path, should have looked like her, talked like her, walked like her, in fact liked her (the last we understand). They have violated the prime law of magnetism that Likes repel and unlikes attract. But what can we do? Convince this woman against her mill. She ' ll he of the same opinion still.

That ' s a Poe way to begin, Mardel, but the public will understand for they are on rear rations, too. Well-fed, well-said. Mar- del has the record — no competition — of sing- ing E above high C with absolutely no ef- fort. So well-formed and delicate are her tones that no human ear has yet been able to note the slightest vibration upon its drum. Mardel, herself, claims that she once sang a duet with a gnat that absolutely tore the house down (gnat-house, I guess). And the miracle of it is that singing is not her forte at all. Just hear her read, and well — an- other volume begins. THE QUADRANGLE Nineteen-Eighteen Senior Class Prophecy HE SUMMER following my graduation, I went home with the ardent desire to raise a war garden. I became very much interested in my garden and during a season of long drought, I was forced to consider means of irrigation. In the solv- ing of that problem, I inadvertently stumbled on an invention which I thought might aid in destroying the German U-boats, but I can not disclose its nature for fear I might be considered unpatriotic. Being assured of the practicability and success of this by several friends, I was urged to take it to Washington. After having gained admission to several men, big in the affairs of the nation, I was permitted to see Edison and remained closeted with him for several hours, discussing the invention, which he received enthusi- astically and seemed to think would speedily end the war. I was about to go when, recognizing a scientific genius in me, he said, By the way, I ' ve been working on an in- vention that might interest you. He showed me an instrument, a sort of telescope, through which one could view the future and offered to let me experiment with it. Hav- ing consulted me as to the period of time I wished to gaze through it, he focused the in- strument on the year nineteen twenty-eight. I found that world peace had been brought about largely through my invention and I naturally wanted to know first what had become of Germany. I saw all Berlin draped in U. S. flags and the governor, newly appointed by the President of the United States, was coming into office. As long lines of automobiles followed by U. S. soldiers appeared, the band struck up the Star Spangled Banner and the people rose to their feet with enthu- siasm. The line halted, the door of the foremost car opened and a low, severely dressed woman got out, ascended the platform and began to speak. In the fervor of her speech, she turned and with an emphatic gesture knocked the man at her right out of her chair. This gesture was sufficient to tell me that the governor of Germany was none other than Maude Harris. I noticed posters, flags and inscriptions everywhere, saying that the President of the United States had chosen Governor Harris to administer the affairs of state because of the wonderful success she had achieved in handling the turbulent stu- dent body at LaGrange College, the foremost institution for the education of young women in America. Seeing Maude in that prominent position made me anxious to know what had be- come of my o ther classmates. I knew Mary Connally had gone to France as a Red Cross nurse soon after graduating, so I focused the instrument on Paris. Here I found her in a beautiful and richly decorated room, the center of a brilliant and animated con- versation with the public men of France. Holding just such court reminded me of Mad- ame de Stael, of whom I had studied in History under Miss Vaughan, and on looking further, I found that I had made a very good comparison for Mary seemed very influential in shaping the affairs of France. Before shifting the scene from Paris, I looked again and saw the crowded streets of the shopping district. Attracted by one of the most pretentious shops on Rue de la Nineleen-Eighteen THE QUADRANGLE Paix, I examined it more closely. On looking within, I perceived an important-looking grand dame giving directions to girls who hurried to and fro with aims full of laces, rib- bons and shimmering satins. She was very elegant, handsome and well-poised, yet the set of her eye glasses reminded me of Clara Evans. Yes, Clara Evans and Madame Clarissa Coutiviere were one and the same. With a turn of the disk, I looked along Riverside Drive in New York City. The disk stopped at one of the most palatial of its many apartment houses. From its gay crowds of people, waiters and trays of elaborate refreshments, I surmised that a dinner dance was in full sway. Incoming guests turned to greet their hostesses and my eyes fol- lowed them. They halted before two dark-haired ladies dressed alike in gorgeous gowns of beaded cloth of gold. The Campbells! Evidently, the vicissitudes of fortune had not separated them — they continued to be as inseparable as in the days of old at LaGrange. I was wondering what had become of Little Nellie when I found myself looking at the Hippodrome. The entrance was plastered with a huge bill-board depicting a prancing circus horse and perched thereon in frilly, abbreviated skirts stood Little Nellie, Equestrian Wonder, Feature of the Day. The scene shifted to the interior of the theater. The house was packed and jammed, filled to overflowing, and the audience watched the performance with bated breath. I beheld such thrilling antics as used to take place in the gymnasium at L. C. when lo, and behold! — I saw our own Little Nellie doing a toe dance on the back of her fiery steed. When I had recovered from the shock of seeing Nellie Humber thus conducting herself and had composed myself sufficiently to look through the instrument again, I beheld a settlement district in Chicago. I was especially attracted by the group of children happily playing around a tall, slender woman clad in black, with the small bonnet of a deaconess resting demurely on her black hair and tied coquettishly under her chin with broad white ribbons. I was admiring the skill and success with which she managed the children when suddenly something displeased her. Her eyes flashed and she gritted her teeth fiercely, — where had I seen such gritting of teeth? ' Twas at the Senior table when Francis disagreed with any of us. I was overcome with even more amazement than on seeing Little Nellie; we never even dreamed that Francis would choose such a life-work as this. Seeing Francis made me wonder what had become of Mardel since they, although they had received diplomas the preceding year, decided to join our select class and work for one of a different order. The instrument kindly obliged me by bringing the scene back to Georgia, to Sugar Valley, a crowded metropolis of about two hundred inhabi- tants. The scene was a schoolhouse. There I saw a demure, plump little school marm slowly, languidly sweeping the small room in expectation of the arrival of her pupils. Soon the pupils came, the rawest, the most ungainly, the most awkward that you can imagine. I was particularly impressed by the number of youths varying in age and size. THE QUADRANGLE Nineieen-Eighteen Time fails me to tell of the unusual experiences which that school mistress met in her clay ' s work so I followed her as she left the schoolhouse after having, with unruffled calm, administered fifteen strokes with the ruler to the palm of her lankiest, laziest pupil. She slowly walked up the road and turned in at the gate of the most ancient-looking of all the houses in the vicinity. She entered, put her books down in her room, where mottoes such as God Bless Our Home, hung on the wall and such ornaments as china ducks sitting on real grass graced the mantelpiece. Then she went out on the back porch where she washed her hands in a tin pan on a shelf, and after partaking of the evening meal, she returned to her room and looked longingly at Slumber and Sleep, boldly embroid- ered in red on the pillow shams. But as if impelled by a sense of duty, she went into the parlor where the rest of the household sat around the wall in front of their enlarged ancestors, who gazed sternly from their enlarged frames. It seemed that the circuit rider was preparing to lead evening devotions. The little schoolmarm sat primly in her chair with folded hands while her eyes followed him with rapt admiration. I turned away from the instrument — this was all I could bear — for by this time I had recognized Mardel Taylor, and I was full of sympathy for her, because on graduating with eight years of French, she had expected to be professor of French in one of our great uni- versities. Would you believe that Harriet Rains gained both fame and a husband imme- diately after graduating? The next thing I saw through the machine was a page of the New York Times showing a picture of a charming family at their country home. The mother played with the twins while the father looked on with evident pride. Beneath the picture was an article which told how Harriet Rains was spending the summer with her family on the farm, after having successfully published The Loves of Lillian, the best seller of the year. The next scene I recognized as Five Points in Atlanta, with its usual rush, bustle and hurrying throng of people. In this ever-changing crowd, my attention was drawn to one spot undisturbed by the hurry of the crowd. This spot was just off the corner of the sidewalk directly in front of Nunnally ' s. There beside a pot hanging from a tripod stood a lassie, clad in sombre garments and wearing an old-fashioned poke bonnet, whose plain- ness was somewhat relieved by a red ribbon around the crown, which bore the words, Salvation Army. She was steadily ringing a bell which induced an occasional pass- erby to give alms. From time to time, persons from the crowd would stop to talk and as the lass responded, she raised two large, calm, brown eyes and I had little trouble in recognizing Mary Kate. Whilst I was wondering what had induced her to discard the once-loved rouge and other frivolities of fashion, that familiar scene changed to one that was at the same time both strange and familiar. I found myself gazing at a hill on which were several im- posing structures. On closer examination, I could read this inscription on the arch above the gateway, University of LaGrange. Although the campus had been enlarged and several buildings had been built since my school days, I at once recognized the quadrangle Nineteen-Eighteen THE QUADRANGLE where many of our happiest hours had been spent. Girls were strolling everywhere as of yore, but could I believe my eyes, were those really men who were walking about as if they, too, belonged there? It was hard to believe that LaGrange which was formerly most emphatically a college for young women, where the very occasional man was viewed with extreme interest, now admitted men into its academic halls. I was feeling some- what saddened to think that every thing was completely changed since my day, and I knew nobody among all those groups, when suddenly a woman came out of one building and walked across to another. There was something hauntingly familiar about her size and carriage and I spent the next few seconds in trying to remember where I had known that walk. When I next looked through the instrument, I found myself gazing into a large, splendidly equipped gymnasium. The class had assembled and was waiting for orders. I naturally looked for the person who was to issue the commands. There on a raised platform at one end of the room stood the same person who had so greatly inter- ested me as she crossed the campus. She was clad in bloomers and middy which made her size more noticeable than it had been on the campus. The class came to position and I followed her as she led them through the easy graceful motions of a dance step. It seemed to me that I could almost hear that command of my gym days given so briskly and executed so charmingly by Miss Potter — Step-Bend-Step- Point ! With this memory a thousand others came rushing back and I marveled at my stupidity in not recog- nizing Mary Lizzie Wright before. After a long sigh, I turned to Mr. Edison to express my wonder at this marvelous invention and to thank him for the pleasure he had given me in thus affording me the sight of my classmates and flooding my mind with delightful reminiscences of my college days, when the door burst open and Ila rushed in exclaiming, For goodness sake, Jennie Mae, get up. It ' s five minutes ' til breakfast. — Jennie Mae Erwin, ' 18. THE QUADRANGLE Nineleen-Eighteen Senior Will STATE OF GEORGIA, County of Troup.

Witness: HARVEY Reed, Jr. Tom Carter THE QUADRANGLE Nineteen-Eighteen Our President We ' d like to toast a certain name we ' ve heard a lot this year, A name that breathes to those who hear our mingled love and fear, A name well-known throughout our State and t ' er the Sunny South — Her fame is sung on every hand a nd ptas 8t from mouth to mouth. O it ' s Miss Davies this, and Miss Davips? jtaat, an d Miss_ Davies is a dear, And it ' s Go see Miss Davies whenever TronbfesappearT Y J t J— Whenever troubles appear, O girls, whenever troubles appear, O it ' s Go see Miss Davies, whenever troubles appear. And when a foolish maiden has transgressed a college rule. She will fear a certain office bove every place else in school, But all the maids who have no need their actions to defend Will find their college President the jolliest kind of friend. O it ' s Miss Davies this, and Miss Davies ' that, and Miss Davies ' s mighty kind, But it ' s Look out, she ' s coming, girls, when there ' s mischief in the wind. When there ' s mischief in the wind, we say, when there ' s mischief in the wind, O it ' s Look out, she ' s coming, girls, when there ' s mischief in the wind. Or if, perchance, a wicked youth has climbed the college hill, To pry about and talk to girls, so much against their will — - He ' ll find the Hill lots warmer than a sultry night in June, While the girls lean out the windows and chant this little tune: O it ' s ' Miss Davies ' here, and ' Miss Davies ' there, and ' Miss Davies ' everywhere, For ' She ' s Sherlock Holmes the Second ' when the boys ate on a tear, When the boys are on a tear, O friends, when the boys are on a tear, For ' She ' s Sherlock Holmes the Second ' when the boys are on a tear. ' ' There ' s many things we ' d like to toast about our leader fair, The stylish clothes she graces and the way she wears her hair, Her gift of public speaking, her wisdom and her wit, But we could never do her justice in attempting it. For Miss Davies here, and Miss Davies there, and Miss Davies every way, Is a superior kind of person that you don ' t meet every day, That you don ' t meet every day, ' tis true, that you don ' t meet every day. She ' s a superior kind of person that you don ' t meet every day. So we ' ll simply have to pledge her in a glass of water clear, As the very finest President you ' ll find both far and near, And we ' ll treasure her forever while we go our several ways. As the trusted counselor of our happy days, For it ' s Miss Davies this, and Miss Davies that, and Miss Davies, you ' re true blue, And now we join together to drink a health to you. To drink a health to you again, to drink a health to you, And now we join together to drink a health to you. — The Seniors. THE QUADRANGLE Nineteen-Eighteen Junior Class Class Motto — Smile — Smile.

The Sophs are marching; Cay and bright they trip along. Twelve young maidens forward marching With their brave and hearty song. In the fall they heard the summons To their Alma Mater s hall, Without halting, without flinching. Rallied they unto her call. Broke the battle, swift and fearful. Stalwart at their post stood they. Never faltered in the conflict Of the terrible class fray. To the charge, the teachers ordered; Locks dishevelled, glances wild, Minds o ' er freighted with all knowledge. Armed, into exams they filed. At the fatal siege of English Came the first disaster dread; While in the midst of peril ous dangers, A Sophomore fainted on her head. Two were drafted to the forces Where the young ideas shoot. Now with rod and ferule lifted They are making others root. Then came Cupid with his arrow. Glanced their lessened number o ' er.

Deep and dire was the Sophs ' woe! Near the final close of battle. Staunchly does the remnant stand. Ranks depleted, battle scarred. Still determined is this band.

For a time, ruin and devastation threatened the surrounding country, but Delia with the timely assist- ance of broom and mop saved the day. PRESIDENT GIVES ULTIMATUM. You must appear in the dining room within three minutes after the bell if you want any breakfast, for at the end of three minutes the door is to be locked. This is the substance of Presi- dent Davies ' remarks before the entire college family in the dining hall last evening. KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES. The magazines ordered for the college through the donation of Mr. Joe Dunson and Mr. Tom Thornton are beginning to arrive, and now it is possible for the college to have the latest in fiction, poli- tics and war news. COLLEGE COMFORT SENT TO SOLDIERS. Last week, the attractive comfort made by the various members of the faculty and student body of the college was sent to the Red Cross. The center of the comfort is composed of different colored squares, knitted of course, while the bor- der consists of black and red ones, the college colors. The success of the com- fort is due to the efforts of Mrs. Tague. HURRAH FOR SUBS! THEY PLANT BULBS! In the spring, we may well expect to see a crowd, a host of golden daffodils. The Subs have been up and doing, and have recently planted a quantity of bulbs in their border bed in the Friendship Garden. SORE ARMS AGAIN IN STYLE. After everybody had gotten calm again and had recovered from the excitement of the typhoid inoculation, somebody started a small-pox scare, and of course we all ad to be vaccinated. One by one the girls were called to meet Dr. Park in Miss Davies ' office and undergo the or- deal. Some wept over it and others didn ' t seem to mind, but you may be as- sured that each one was consoled when she was told ' ' The worst is yet to come — and it has. PATRIOTISM CONTINUES TO BE SHOWN ON THE HILL. On the hill, many evidences of patri- otism continue to be seen. Much interest and enthusiasm was displayed recently when Mr. Harrison lectured in the chapel on the Conservation of Food. Many of the students have signed cards pledging themselves to assist in this conservation. Several Thrift cards have been purchased and a great number of the girls are doing their bit by purchasing thrift stamps. RETURN TO HAWKES BUILDING. After an absence of more than two weeks, the residents of the Hawkes Building have returned home. Their ab- sence was made necessary by the bursting of the boiler and the consequent lack of heat. During the two weeks in which a new boiler was being installed, they en- joyed the hospitality of the Oreon Smith Building. INTERESTING MEETING OF IRENIAN SOCIETY. At its regular bi-weekly meeting on Saturday night, the Irenian Society gave a delightful program on Shakespeare. The most interesting features of the program were the account of Stratford- on-Avon by Miss Threlkeld and the read- ing of a scene from Macbeth by Miss Mardel Taylor. The music numbers were also greeted with much applause. STEREOPTICAN LECTURE. Friday night the Student Body had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Deal, a re- turned missionary, lecture on the work being done in Korea. The lecture was ac- companied by very interesting pictures. FIRE! FIRE! Origin of Alarm Unknown. Just as everybody had settled down for a quiet evening ' s work on Friday, the doors of the Oreon Smith Building were hastily thrown open and a number of men rushed in, breathlessly asking where the fire was. Great excitement pre- vailed until it was proved a false alarm. It is thought that the Town Boys turned in the alarm expecting to have a lark. PRIMA DONNA HEARD IN CONCERT. One of the most splendid programs ever given at the College was the one given Thursday evening by Madame Francesca Zarad, our own Miss Mueller accompa- nying her. Madame Zarad is a soprano of rare ability. She not only charmed us with her music, but delighted us with her attractive personality. Madame was the guest of the college during her stay in LaGrange. WEEK OF PRAYER. The World ' s Week of Prayer was ob- served the past week by the Y. W. C. A. Every night interesting and instructive services were held. China, Japan, Africa and Korea were the subjects under dis- cussion. NEW GYMNASIUM TEACHER. Miss Cora Potter of Boston, Massachu- setts, arrived Friday to take charge of the gymnasium work. Miss Potter was presented to the Student Body at chapel Saturday and was given a most enthusi- astic welcome. GLEE CLUB HARD AT WORK. From the faithful and continued prac- tices of our Glee Club, we can readily infer that the program that they are to give in two weeks will afford much pleas- ure and delight. In addition to the con- cert that they are to give here, they are planning to give concerts at Auburn and West Point some time in the near future. We are very proud of our Glee Club, and we feel that they will meet with well- merited success in whatever they under- take. PROPOSED TOUR ANNOUNCED. From the chapel platform this morn- ing, the President announced that she would leave immediately on a tour of in- spection through the rooms of the Oreon Smith Building and the Hawkes Building. This announcement came as a surprise to the Student Body who regretted keenly that they had not sufficient time to make preparations for the suitable reception of such a visitor. However, they trust that Miss Davies will derive much pleasure I and satisfaction from her journey. HASH HASH Served occasionally by 4A English Office (not the Kitchen) Rates Hunger for news. Blanton Editor-in-Chief Chenault Literary Editor Rogers Society Editor Veal Athletic Editor Clay Art Editor Roach and Clark Business Managers SUB-FRESH DEPARTMENT Even the opposition and rivalry of the Regular and Irregular classes of the Sub Department in the fierce and desperate track meet did not sever the bond of friendship between them. By the next morning, they had arrived at terms of peace. So great was that peace that the classes decided to be pictured side by side in the Quadrangle, and to be represented jointly in the pages of Hash, a part of which is to be copied in the annual. Last September there was only one organization in the Sub Department, and both in quantity and quality they threat- ened to take the honors from the college classes — in athletics at least. But later the Irregulars withdrew and formed a separate body. There has been no fric- tion between the classes, and without doubt the division will result in encourag- ing that spirit of friendly rivalry which so often aids growth. COLLEGE LIFE. College is an important factor in ev- ery girl ' s life, since it is there that she outgrows her childish dependencies and begins to develop a sense of responsibil- ity and self reliance. College broadens her in every way, from darning her own stockings and mending her clothes to making the character-building decisions of critical moments. Not only is she de- veloped mentally and physically but she is helped socially. At college a girl is thrown in contact with large numbers of people of different thoughts and feel- ings, and it is there that her life-long friends are made. In fact, every girl who does not spend at least one year in some college is lacking that finer some- thing that the girl who has been to col- lege possesses. The world has long since recognized the importance of colleges for women, and now it is possible for almost every girl to enjoy the benefits and privi- leges of a college life. I fear. said the postage stamp on the girl ' s letter home, I am not stick- ing to facts. Don ' t smile in your sleeve, use your face. THE TRACK MEET. The week preceding the track meet was filled with much enthusiasm and dem- onstrations of class spirit. The Reg. Subs. Sophs and Seniors were to oppose the Irreg. Subs, Freshmen and Juniors. When the night arrived, the Junior side taking the plan of its oprjonents. marched all over the place singing and yelling. The other side, not to be outdone, march- ed into the gymnasium where the meet was to be held. After forming an S which stood for Senior, Soph and Sub. it gave its yells. Then the stunts were begun. Some of the most interesting were the Cornflakes Put, The Stand- ing Broad Grin and The Light Race. Each side had splendid representatives and every race was closely run. Almost everyone was glad when the decision came and proved each side equally strong. A PERFECT DAY. Some people say that girls love to dress, and I suspect it ' s true. If it is. then one Monday recently was a perfect day for all L. C. ' s real girls. There never was such dressing and primping — I heard one girl say she had dressed eight times. The whole day was given over to beautification, and all for one man — the photographer. I fear that all this gentle labor was wasted on him for most peo- ple primp for him. But it was not in vain, for the proofs came back last week, and though the familiar wail Isn ' t mine horrid was heard not infrequently, these proofs promise that there will be some good-looking pictures in the Annual. FRIENDSHIP WAR FUND. The colleges of the country are raising a fund to help the Y. M. C. A. work be- ing done across the waters among the boys who are fighting our battles for us. L. C. must do her bit. Will you help? Denv vourself a movie and a soda. Give to this cause. Don ' t be a SLACKER. Be a patriot for your college by being a pa- triot for your country. Others are giving, why can ' t we? Girls, do it now. The above was the substance of an ap- peal by the Y. W. C. A., and right nobly was it answered. Not only were foolish expenditures reduced, but some genuine sacrifices were made, and in a very few weeks five hundred dollars was sent from our college. MISS ERWIN APPEARS IN RECITAL. Miss Jennie Mae Erwin of Calhoun gave her diploma recital in voice Mon- day evening. Miss Erwin ' s singing is quite popular at LaGrange and that even- ing she was quite pleasing, especially in her German songs. Misses Potter, Hall. Harris and Parks assisted her on the program, and we may say it was one of the best recitals of the year. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF SUBS. The Third Floor. I ' m glad I came to old L. C. I like it more each day, L. C. is the place for me It ' s naturally made that way. And the best place at old L. C. Is way up on third floor If we don ' t kill a big ' un there Well, I don ' t know. Third floor is the wildest place I ever ' most did see. But when we see Miss Winslow ' s face Things quiet down, gee! I ' m glad I live up on third floor. I like the noise up there; I love the slam of every door And Huggin ' s laugh to hear. Maybe I have said enough But let me tell you, Hon, If you come to old L. C. Third floor ' s the place for fun. EVENING WITH UNCLE REMUS. The 4A English Class recently gave a unique Uncle Remus program in the gym- nasium. The entire program, consisting of plantation songs, negro dances, sketch of Harris ' life and some Uncle Remus stories, was given in negro dialect and negro costume. Nell Veal, as a little ne- gro girl, was very clever and her jigging delighted the audience. Ila Clark, with Leila Scarborough accompanying her on the guitar, was pleasing in her songs. Murrell Roach was a typical Uncle Remus. Time to comment on the entire program fails us, but we may call the evening a success. WHY BE PALE? CHANGE YOUR COMPLEXION IN ONE INSTANT. Miss Ruth Taylor, of Covington, Ga., writes that for years she had been with- out color. But now since she has been using Velvetina Rouge, she never wor- ries about her complexion, for with only two dabs of the puff she can put roses in her cheeks. For all Velvetina Beauty Hints con- sult Madame Lois Hall. NEW BOOK OF TRAVEL. How to See Atlanta in One Day is one of the most recent and interesting books of travel. It is based on the per- sonal experiences of the authors, Black, Blanton Erwin. and will prove itself immensely valuable to all tourists. Pub- lished by Hash Pub. Co. Please mention this paper in writing. (adv) AUBURN GLEE CLUB. The concert given by the Auburn Glee Club in our auditorium was largely at- tended, and everybody seemed to enjoy the lively and original program. ADVICE. So live, that when Miss Winslow summons you To meet her in that dread office Where sooner or later all must call, Thou go not like a wretched culprit, Homesick and forlorn, but sustained and soothed By a sense of no wrong, approach thy fate Like one who dressed in her Sunday ' s best Walks down the street to get a college special. SLIPPING. I know it is a sin For me to slip out and in During study hour. But my neighbors have a spell They charm exceedingly well, Beyond my power. And if I should ever be A teacher at old L. C. In years to come. Let them slip as I do now — I ' m not truly mean. I vow — And have some fun. ON BEING SICK When I was in the infirmary, People were awful good to me — They sent me notes ' most every day. You ' d better get sick — it sure does pay. They sent me gelatin and ice cream, too, I know they ' d be that nice to you. And then what do you think? They sent carnations white and pink. I had Baby Vic. too, to play, And they came to the window ' most every day. Mrs. Rawlings. too, was mighty kind She came in the room a lots of times. But with all the attention in the world That ' s a lonesome place for a sick girl. HASH SEW-SEW CLUB ENTERTAINED. The Sew-Sew Club met last Saturday evening in the rooms of Misses Scarbor- ough and Roach. The guests were the members of the club, and they spent the evening delightfully in sewing and con- versation. The club pins were presented to the members, Misses Erwin, Black, Blanton, Kurfees, R. Taylor, M. Taylor, Clay, Humber, Hall, Scarborough, Pat- terson and Roach. Later the hostesses, assisted by Misses Patterson and Clay, served a delicious salad course. WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT. We wish to announce in these columns the marriage of Roberto, the hired man, to his Juliet of kitchen fame. The wed- ding came as a surprise to his friends. HOUSE-WARMING. Miss Margaret Eakes delightfully en- tertained at her home on Friday night in honor of the return of Third Floor. Miss Brookes assisted Miss Eakes in receiv- ing her guests and in serving them with hot chocolate and crackers. The occa- sion was remarkable for its display of handsome evening gowns and certain freaks of fashion. HILLTOP HAPPENINGS. Miss Evelyn Smith has returned to the college after having spent some time with her parents in Palmetto. Miss Vaughn is learning to knit. On account of a lame foot, Miss Marie Clay will spend the next few days on the campus. Miss Mary Kimbrough and Dusky Cot- ton spent Thursday at the carnival in Chipley. WANTED.

In honor of St. Valentine, the Fresh- man Class entertained the Junior Class with a theatre party down in the city. On the return the Fresh treated their guests to ice cream and cake which were charm- ingly served in Miss Potter ' s room. Judg- ing from the pleased expressions which the Juniors wore the following day, they had a rare time. NON-PARTY. Friday night, the Seniors, Sophs and Subs did not entertain at a beautifully appointed midnight feast behind closed doors and locked windows. When the guests did not enter the door, they were not greeted by a pretty Cupid hanging above the beautifully decorated table which was not in the middle of the room or elsewhere. After they did not spend a short time in merry conversation, deli- cious refreshments which did not consist of ice cream and cake, were not served. This feast was greatly enjoyed by the Subs, Sophs and Seniors, who were not present. VOGUE PARTY. Soon after the opening of school, the Mezzofantian Society entertained the new girls with a novel and unique party. The guests assembled in the front parlors, and the door was opened into the back parlor disclosing a room in a departme nt store where a customer was buying her trousseau. Several voguish gowns were strikinely displayed on stunning models. After this an interesting contest in de- signing was enjoyed. LOST AND FOUND. FOUND — Somewhere to go. — Glee Club.

THE QUADRANGLE Nineteen -Eighteen Student Government LL STUDENT GOVERNMENT is, and should be, based on the Honor System. For the success of this system, it is essential for each pupil to have embedded in her character the fundamental principles of truth and honesty. La- Grange College, through her Student Government, strives to uphold these standards — standards of honesty, fair dealing and impartiality in all matters. Mistakes there are, and will be, but each day, each year, sees the strengthening of a government that is de- veloping a body of students, who will bring trained members to bear on questions of right and wrong, and who will have the courage to carry out right discussions; a government that is training for efficiency, not an efficiency that is an end in itself, but a means to the end of increasing human happiness ; a government that is fostering, not stunting, individ- ual initiative; a government that is engendering a spirit of unity and love, which gives rise to a loyal enthusiasm for all good things, which warms the heart, and which inspires to good deeds that one may be worthy of Alma Mater. As long as this college endures — and may its years be endless — so may this Student Government render service. As this college grows in strength, so may this Student Gov- ernment, as its hand-maiden grow, and may every student be a better woman, a better servant of humanity, because of her membership in it. Yet not for power (power of herself Would come uncall ' d for) but to live by law, Acting the law we live by without fear; And, because right is right, to follow right Were wisdom in the scorn of consequence. Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power. That is the spirit of Student Government, and may it descend upon every student of LaGrange College.

AT LaGRANGE COLLEGE, the Y. W. C. A. is a real force in the endeavors to promote the best interests of the students along all lines. Definite Christian pur- pose, lofty standards of honor, beauty of service, ideals of real democracy, a gen- uine sentiment of patriotism, a belief in the fine possibilities of social life are principles in- culcated by this organization. Our students more and more are feeling a sincere interest in its work, and more and more are giving themselves to its service, — thereby strengthening the Association, and developing leadership among themselves. Regular prayer meetings, usually led by students, are held twice each week; occa- sional meetings are arranged for by the Missionary and Temperance Committee. Many very helpful services are provided on special occasions, as on Easter and Thanksgiving. All of these are made more attractive by the careful planning of the Poster, Music and Decoration Committees. Mission Study classes meet weekly. Good times are frequently arranged for the entire school by the Social Committee, — a very important part of the Y. W. C. A. life. This year much enthusiasm was shown in the raising of the War Fund. In a short while, five hundred dollars were collected. How happy the girls were to do their part! Reports from the Blue Ridge Conference (1917) were brought by Misses Julia Muse, Maud Harris and Iris Fullbright. The Conference Committee at L. C. is ener- getic in its efforts to provide means for the next delegation to Blue Ridge in June. Pros- pects seem good for a larger delegation than usual. In later life, when bringing to mind the various activities they loved best in college, no doubt many LaGrange girls will think first of the Y. W. C. A.

(Episode at College on the night after the Glee Club Reception.) — 12:30 P. M. The nocturnal flap-flap of a teacher ' s slippers is heard to resound through the empty coridor, then to pause before Room 508. Through the keyhole there is a telltale gleam of light. This is in strict violation of every rule. Grim becomes the look on the teacher ' s countenance! A thought courses through her sleepy, distracted brain, Ah, some Auburn boy has left a letter already, — or perhaps the wicked maiden is cramming for to- morrow ' s exam. Then her heart softens, (there is a faint creaking sound while this unaccustomed change takes place in that startled organ!) Maybe the poor child is so worn out by tonight ' s excite- ment that she has fallen asleep with her light on. Noiselessly she turns the knob of the door and pauses within the shadow of the curtain — as- tounded by the spectacle before her. The room, struck by the whirlwind of dressing for the boys, h as lost all natural semblance. The wonted chairs and dressers serve but as frames for the froth and frill of the moment. The arm chair used to the dignity of its bay-window has been dragged to the center of the room and now, holds in its outraged arms a motley collection. Gym bloomers hang dangerously balanced on the tip of the rocker; on one arm among the discarded pet- ticoats, a middy suit-badge of work-hob nobs wearily with a glass of milk and a half nibbled cracker. From the back, alongside the sturdy bath- robe, a chiffon waist hangs, caught cruelly by its lace collar and trails despairing arms outflung to the slippers of the floor. But alas, they have no sole and offer no assistance! The dresser is in even a worse plight. (Yet room order is very strict in this college!) Its lower drawer is drawn out to a perilous distance, and all the others leak ribbons and belts. The top is quite eclipsed. Among the pins and hair- pins, the stopperless cologne bottle has fallen on its face and fills the air with its delicate cries for assistance. A silver slipper for all its tiny dainti- ness stands arrogantly on the face of the ivory hand mirror — a case of the heel crushing the ser- pent, Vanity. But of all things — a blue garter flung by a hasty hand has slipped itself down the oval frame of a picture and stares at the horri- fied teacher with its complacent blue bow. still protected by its eternal Honi soit qui mal y pense. That is too much. The teacher steps far- ther into the room to see if the owner of this cyclone-struck abode has also been devastated by the excitement. Give me that book and blow out that light, she thunders. Don ' t you know the l ight bell rang two hours and a half ago? The girl springs up and grasps the book closer while the world seems to crumble in ice cold pieces down her back, (she was that kind of a girl). She realized what had happened. This — the worst of all the teachers! Visions of demerits — campused — no going to Auburn with the Glee Club next week — all flashed through her mind. One look toward the teacher ' s face tells her the dire truth — there is no hope! Dazedly, she holds out her Shakespeare note book. It is only camou- flage, — something is hidden within it! The teach- er ' s eagle eye has not had long practice for naught. She bends toward it sternly, while the girl tries to think where she can best borrow the money to buy her ticket home. There is an ex- clamation from the stern lips of the teacher. She bends closer, more eagerly, over the book as though she is unable to believe the truth. In her face, there is a quick shattering of ice as in a pond in the Spring. Her eye beams, she smiles upon the girl as radiantly as an L. C. sunset. Oh, she cries joyously, how far have you gotten? Do you mind turning back and let ' s be- gin together? Move over, my dear child, I have tried all week to get hold of this new copy of Vanity Fair! (Scene II. 2:30 A. M. Everything same as above.)

Since, quoting Voltaire, the multiplicity of facts and writings has become so great that everything must now be reduced to ex- tracts, I shall give only a sketch of the past history of LaGrange College. Founded in 1833 as LaGrange Female Seminary, it was at that time the only insti- tution in the United States devoted exclu- sively to the higher education of young men. In the year 1 846, Mr. J. T. Montgomery became president, and a charier was procured granting all the rights of conferring de- grees, honors, and other distinctions of merit. Thus LaGrange Seminary became LaGrange College. After several years of marked growth and prosperity, the entire college property was sold to the Georgia Conference of the M. E. Church, South, and in September, 1 85 7, un- der the presidency of Rev. W. G. Connor, the college began its distinctive work of Christian education among the women of the South. During the presidency of Rev. W. M. Harris, D.D., the college, in the year 1 859, sent out its first graduate class, not only the first in the College, but the first in the South. In March, 1 860, the college property was almost entirely destroyed by fire. Subscrip- tions to the amount of twenty thousand dol- lars were raised in a few weeks and the work of rebuilding was commenced. The founda- tion of the College Building was finished, and the cornerstone laid July 4, 1 860. This building was unfinished when the Civil War began, and its walls stood uncovered and in- complete during that period. In the division of the Georgia Conference in 1867, the Col- lege became the property of the North Geor- gia Conference, and in 1875 work was recommended, and the building finished in 1879. Since 1879 under Rev. J. R. Mason, then Dr. J. W. Heidt, then from 1885 to 1915 under Rev. Rufus W. Smith, and from 1915 to date under Miss Daisy Davies, the college has increased in material growth and patronage. At present, the principal buildings are the College, the Oreon Smith Memorial, and Harriet Hawkes Memorial. The last named was completed in 1911, and is one of the finest college buildings in the South. So inadequately does this sketch portray the real history of the College, outlining in a meagei way only those material things which contribute to its life and growth, that I can not close without a few words in reference to its real history — the immaterial and spiritual things which make the real his- tory of the college — its traditions and ideals. No college in the southland is richer in these. Who can estimate the influences of the strong men and women who in giving their lives to the work have stamped their own ideals into the great ideal of the College? And what of the influence of the numbers, thousands even, of students who have left their impress on this ideal? Many are now honored women, looking well to the way of their household ; others have given their work and their lives in foreign fields, always upholding the truth and Christian spirit of the college. And we, who have come to our young womanhood and our college life at a time when our nation is involved in its mighty struggle for peace and justice, must and will stand guardian of this sacred heritage, cher- ishing and sheltering it through the storm which ultimately, we must believe, will sub- due the madness of men. For us who be- lieve in these ideals which make the real his- tory of our college, this is not merely an in- ternational catastrophe, it is also a test and an opportunity. Ours is the sacred task to see that no blot nor stain tarnish, and ours, to see that the fu- ture history of our college grows in that glory and honor which ends only in eternity. Theatre and Opera CARMEN HAS PREMIERE. From the Front of the Back of the Bowl- ing Alley. By Oriana Abbottsford, V. Before a full Metropolitan Gymnas- opera House, Bizet ' s Carmen ' ' was given for the first time this season on Satur- day evening at eight o ' clock this winter. Obviously the large audience was thor- oughly content, — particularly those re- ferred to as full, this being Saturday night and thus synonymous with wieners. Mature virtuosi might have quailed at the thought of facing such an audience. Every artist, including the Faculty, all seated doubled up in a row on the bowl- ing alley and the neighbor ' s collie pup, was present. The appearance of Carmen and Don Jose evoked a storm of applause. The applause lasted so uproariously that the collie pup swallowed the end of the conductor ' s baton, forgetful — as are all artists — that this was a meatless day and thinking he had a choice bone. Besides, the performance was conducted by Signor Polacco-Toseani-Pappi-Campa Nellie Humberoso with much elan and passementerie and considerable grasp of the score — with both hands. But the very acme of entertainment was Mile. Jennie-Mae Raisarow-Galli-Quirki Erwinizina in the title role. It was just so — and no otherwise — that the alluringly engaging — many times so — young Gypsy of Seville would deport herself. In moments that might be trying to others — indeed were so — she would evince the same ingenuousness and wild grace that characterized her impersonation. Her impersonation throughout was well tempered, though in the end portraying a slight peevish irritation over being stabbed by the too enthusiastic lover, Don Jose. In the coloratura passages she used her hands with rare taste, and her beautifully colored middle register was seen to excellent advantage. She wore her girdle and kerchief with a rare sense of location and finesse. Her blooming tonality and poetic savoir faire showed her deep emotional re- sources. Her facile runs and trills and other de- lectable adjuncts of her vocal stock, together with an opulent prodigality of production, particularly in one flat E, brought down the house, — the faculty falling clean off the edge of the bowling alley box seats. A splendid Don Jose was Signor Giovanni Enric- Ila Gatti-Crimi Carusazza Clarkuso. In excellent form, he succeeded in interpreting his role, both in voice and dramatic action, with an emotional intensity and denotement of sheer pathos which brought tears to the eyes of the collie. One could not but be amazed at the wonderful volume of audibility. Even as an infant, it is said, this tenor had such a strong voice that the people in the flat above remarked on its volume and endurance. As Don Jose, he sang with such fervor the audience had to move back. His tenor displayed a cantilena caterwaula and purple pomposity that left nothing to be desired in the robust voice, while dramatically he manifested an unusual temperament, modified by more than one well chosen nuance and balderdash. However, the tenor exhibited a regrettable temper, in the end growing plumb peevish and stabbing his inamorata. But he went out with much dash and an intoxicating variety of color. His execution at the end — top end — was highly gratifying to the audi- ence. So was crowned two careers which, if as yet short, began early and ended briefly. In our enthusiasm for the opera, we must not lose sight of the delicious entr ' acte by the Charlotte Russe Ballet. One star male dancer was Huggin- shawn Castle who appeared with the always lissom Irenian Erwin Castle as his partner. Their dance of The Expiring Tango Lizard ' ' was suffocatingly soulful, and no little was added to the effectiveness of it by the beautiful purple mache halo worn as a skirt by original danseuse. Particular attention must be called to another pair of distinguished terpsichoreans, Ted Vernon Clarksell and Anna Leila Patterlova. One is much puzzled over the nationality of these dancing part- ners, because at times one suspects part of their cognomens to be American, but the other end would suggest that they belong to that highly imaginative and eirie race, the Polirish. At any rate, whate ' er their name or clime, one cannot deny that this couple in their sheerly beautiful cloud-like and papilonaceous draperies, undulated the gasping be- holders into a state of deliquesce delirium in their dance of The Greek Potato Bug in a Paris Green Sea of Intoxication. Art A glance at the portrait on this page, and one is immediately con- vinced that Madame de Punque is a marvelous exponent of L ' Art Novelle and that she has won for herself a name that none else could (or would). All Art critics concede this work to be her great- est. The true spirit of this chef d ' oeuvre is well-summed up in the title, Une Jeune Fille en repos a la Ombrage. ' ' The paint- ing fairly tingles with emotion. One involuntarily draws one ' s wrap close around the shoulders, w hen the emotion in the glistening, pelting rain-drops and the penetrating mist is once felt. To the crude, carnal, osteocepha- lic mind, the frail youthful figure of the maiden asleep under the olive tree might suggest a leper asking- alms. Alack! Alas! How much of beauty the unsophisticated, un- thinking, unknowing must miss in the artistic realm alone! Full many a mortal is bom to act right green, And show his greenness, it mat- ters not where. So well defined is the feeling of life in the slender grace of the maiden, in the jagged, vivid lightning, in the gently-sloping hillside, in the flow of her am- brosial locks enf laming her deli- cately chiselled face, that one can only gasp and stay gasped until one ' s physical mechanism de- mands another breath. The fact that Madame de Punque was once a milk-maid has undoubtedly made its im- print upon her art. Some critics prefer to call this work A Pas- torale to suggest the shepherdess and her flock. The ninety and nine have cut close the grass upon the hill- top and are graz- ing on the other side of the hill. And Phyllis, her flock forgotten, is sitting in the shade lost in pensive mood. She does not see the black clouds gathered, — neither does she care. The public is indeed fortunate to have seen even a print of this wonderful, spiritful painting, for it is not generally known that the original is kept in a steel vault, not only to prevent its be- ing stolen, as was the Monna Lisa, but to safeguard the artist as well. — H.

Sweet morn, so wonderful, so bright, You brought a welcome check to me, But ere began the fall of night, Alas, there was no check to see! The first of errands it did fill, It changed from paper into coin Whose very jingle made me thrill And gladdened me that I was born. But joys do come — and sorrows, too, When little debts disclose their sum; Each haunting bill is long past due, — The coins pass and leave me glum. Now, like all dogs, I ' ve had my day; This joy has passed like other checks; And I must scheme to find a way, To hasten the mail that brings the next. — C. Teasley. MEDICATED INTERROGATIONS.

Who marshals us into Miss Davies ' quarter, Exactly like sheep being led to the slaughter? Dr. Park. Who has an instrument sharp and shiny, Which makes even the soldiers whiney? Dr. Park. Who jabs our arms with fiendish delight. While we turn away from the horrible sight? Dr. Park. When our arms are turning black and blue, For whom are the curses of sulphuric hue? Dr. Park. But when at last we all shall stand, A prophylactic, hygienic band; When germs fall harmless on every hand. Whom then shall we praise o ' er all in the land? Dr. Park. — E. G. THE TERRIBLE TALE OF A MID-TERM TEST. Ah! Woe is me! The doleful days! I weep the while I cram; The deadly teacher meanwhile lays Her traps for my exam! A rosy, bright-eyed, youthful maid, I go to fight the foe; I meet old Livy, dull and staid. And he doth lay me low! Truth crushed to earth may rise mayhap And so, perchance, may I ; With cheek all pale, I hie to lab, And then I wish to die! With dimming eye I try my math: My nether limbs do fail. For doubtful Trig, in sullen wrath Tells me a fearsome tale. My English test is gruesome, work; I ween ' twould vex a saint! I feel my pulses throb and jerk, And fall into a faint. With scant returning consciousness I next attack my French. But after hours of strife and stress The Dean still holds the trench. I Long weary hours, I ' ve scribbling sat, Oh! me, ah! lack a day! I went into this struggle fat But I have pined away! A rosy, bright-eyed, youthful maid, I went into the fight; Ten stone or more in truth I weighed But now I sure am light. Ten short days since I was so young, So happy, hopeful, glad; And now I ' m feeble, wrinkled, old, — Ah! me! ' tis very sad. — L. Hall THE COUNTRY STORE. THE HILL BELOW STANDS THE COUNTRY STORE WE APPROACH IT JUST LIKE THIS BACKS ON OUR HEAPED SOON WITH OUR SACKS HILL THAT CLIMB YOU SEE US Vanity Fair presents herewith some few examples of the Fervid School of Ultra Poetry. Better types, we believe, could not be found of chaste abandon, ingenuity and poetic license. The poem on The Country Store, ' besides being a veritable gem, possesses another great interest. The writer has been hopelessly insane on the subject for some lime and scientists now claim, from experimenta- tions, that her mind works in the same direction as the poem is read; — first, backward and then for- ward instead of around and around as it naturally should. The Well-Dressed Man COSTUMES FOR THE EVERY DAY AFFAIRS OF LIFE. (By Thweet Lord Percival.) So completely has the military tone domi- nated the fashion world, that one sees little in the shops a la mode along Chesterfield Boulevard but the characteristic army khaki and navy blue. The few civilian suits are noteworthy because of the scarcity of the cloth employed and the resultant tightness with which they drape the figure. Green felt hats and large, tortoise-shelled spectacles are growing in popularity among college cir- cles. An observer at a recent fashionable wed- ding noted certain tendencies. Trousers are worn unusually long, necessitating careful roll- ing around the ankles. The ushers, in fact nearly all the male contingents wore their hair pompadour-style, rolling it in the back to form a neat grace- ful knot. Those of slender, classic line wore the barber-effect. Con- trary to convention us- ually employed on such occasions, the grooms- men wore suits of vari- ous materials and col- ors. Tweeds, broad- cloths, and serges pre- dominated. To give themselves an air of ease, some of them kept their hands in their pockets as they marched down the aisle. One clever idea was sug- gested by the British military rule of having officers wear moustaches. Like so many weddings where military officers were con- cerned, this one had to be pulled off on forty- eight hours notice. Showing their character- istic American ingenuity, several attend- ants delineated upon their strong upper lips by means of eye-brow pencils crisp, raven moustaches. The effect was splendid . rather distingue. A startling, though none the less pleasing, note of fashion was the use of white stocks. These were neatly folded and held in place by stickpins in the shape of swords, bayo- nets, and rifles, all cleverly designed, and presented to the groomsmen by the best man, not the groom, as one would expect. Another decidedly new note was shown in striped collars, two of the ushers affect- ing these. Striped hose were worn to harmon- ize. Canvas shoes, white or grey, were also worn. The groom, having been promoted from the rank of Eagle in the Boy Scouts of America to Chief Mess Ser- geant, U. S. A., was a dashing military fig- ure in his splendid uniform of khaki. Truly, in this case, the bride could not ab- sorb all the attention of the public for the groom presented no mean spec- tacle. As he passed down the aisle, the en- In accord with the present conservation tire gathering Was mlt- program along agricultural and culinary lines, rored in the polished we are showing three models of correct day surface of his leggings, time wear worn by three men well known in an( J the clank of his the work-a-day world.

Fashions On account of war conditions, patriotism of women, and the financial situation generally, Vanity Fair will discontinue its usual Fashion Department. From time to time, however, we will give our read- ers hints of the trend of things by descriptions of gowns worn at important functions. Much of in- terest has occurred lately. There have been many important gatherings of fashionable people, but the most noteworthy from the importance of the con- tracting parties and the wonderful creations worn by the guests, was the marriage of Miss Augustine Pearline Childs to Major Amos Cranberry of the world famous Slacker Brigade. ' Her mother, who as Miss Maud Harris was a famous Southern belle, wore a charming Julian gown of black satin and her coiffure by Dillarde, consisted for the most part of powder and puffs. The bride ' s fa- ther, an ex-floor walker, was suffering from the ef- fects of a recent election but managed to play as impor- tant a part as is ever given to a mere father. The bride ' s small brother, Lewis, and sister, Cora Ina, look- ing like pictures by Ho- garth, Jr., gave an informal tone to an occasion, usually so solemn, by their merry antics and telling remarks. One of the most becoming and suitable gowns seen at this wonderful wedding was the yellow organdie and black lace Maidee frock worn by the bride ' s aunt, Miss Margaretta- Marietta Eakes. Over this sweet, summery creation, Miss Eakes wore a be- witching little silk and net cape (positively the latest thing) and in her simple coiffure, she wore an ivory comb. The Countess De Hylle of Hants, Pants, The above illustration gives a suggestion of the effectiveness of the French peasant tone in the costume. This pastoral touch has supplanted the militaire esprit formerly so popular. The charming young debutantes pictured above are prominent not only in so- cial circles but in the vocal and instrumental music world as well. Cantshire, England, was quite the most striking fig- ure present. Her wonderful attire is impossible to describe but its most memorable features were a lornette and a fox stole. But the originality of the bride was charmingly displayed in the ingenuous decorations. The groom, being only a Major and having spent his pay on his trousseau, patriotically left the small item of flowers to the bride ' s father. However, Mr. Cato Walker and his daughter have never lacked for friends and with their help they undertook to deco- rate the chapel of St. Allyn ' s in modest daisies for the occasion. None who heard the marvelous musical program can ever hope to forget it. Its like has never been heard before and could never be lived through again. The Bridal Chorus ' was given by the famous quartette, Mile. M. Taylor, R. Taylor, H. Rains and E. Goggans. Mile. Nelle, .olorature virtuoso soprano, sang I Love You Truly ' with an emotion and depth marvelous in one so young. Liberty Bell rang sweetly from the bow of Miss Clements during the cere- mony. After the knot was se- curely tied by the R. R. Dusty Cotton, the company repaired to the bride s an- cestral halls where Hoover- ade (lemon seeds and wa- ter) was furnished by the caterers Roach and Grogan, and in which the bride ' s health was toasted, — as long as it lasted. The Ma- jor, though considerably the worse for wear after his tenth glass, finally untan- gled his spurs from the maid-of-honor ' s train and left with his bride for their new residence, Rattdenn- Up-the-Stairs. War and Women All women are not modern. More have flocked to Arms than to any other profession. Here we show a college romance when sweet Miss Ada Gane succumbs to the charm of manly Lieutenant Hol- land Clark. Ovid should be here to do justice to such a modern Meta- morphoses.
