THE CHATTERBOX. 237 A Fable. L. MAY SPENCE. In the History of Littleton College, we are told that for Three Years there was in its Student Body a girl who, from some Incurable Disease, was practically Always Late-at Meals and Recitations especially. This girl remained in school until her Senior Year, and up to her Last Year she was Never Known to have been Cn Time but once On this occasion, the Seniors were in- vited to a Hotel Banquet, and this girl proceeded to find her a partner-or perhaps one might more Properly say, some one to Fall in Line with. She asked One Girl, and her re- ply ra.n thus: I will go with you provided you Promise to be On Timef' She promised, and was -Iohmiy-on-the-Spot at eight o'clock, much to the surprise of every one. That Event will not be Forgotten. During the same year, President Rhodes promised to take a number of girls to a Marriage. The Slow Girl Intended going, but when the time came and the girls assembled in the Reception Hall, in the rush of getting off, they failed to see if all were present. Ever since the world began it has been the case, and I suppose it will ever be, that when one arranges a Date on which to be Married, ,he does not want to wait and lfVill Not wait. This Particular Couple seemed Especially Anxious to be prompt, as they were married a Few Minutes sooner than had been Planned. Mter the Ceremony was over and the girls were wending their way back to the College, who should be seen in the Long Distance but two girls coming toward them! It proved to be none other than the Slow Goer and a Freshie that she had persuaded to go with her. VVhile she Tarried, the Couple was married. KN. B. Thatls a Rhymej Moral: Don't be the Cow's Tail.

WVeep, because you oouldn't possibly be she, and then turn your face the other Way, down the years to--say, 1950, and behold that graduate and then shout, girls, because you belong to the class of 1908! I tell you, there is nothing like criticism, after all-for it is always something like the truth. And now, behold the Seniors of Littleton College: they envy not, neither do they despise, and yet I say that the Freslinien, with all their nunibers, have not as much trouble as one of these.
