60 THE REVHEXX! Peters Failing Mmm Rome ETER CRANDALL'S greatest failing from early boyhood had been his memory-or lack of memory. He forgot everything-dates, anniversaries, birthdays, and faces, and once he had forgotten his own name. Thanks to the efficiency of his secretary, Miss Leon Craig, Peter got along very well in business affairs. She made all his appointments and saw that he kept them. This success in business gave Peter the very brilliant idea of having her similarly take care of his personal affairs. Therefore, they made up a complete list of Peter's relatives and friends with their addresses, birthdays and likes and dislikes as well as their peculiarities, if any. It was part of Leon's daily routine to remind him of any special occasions connected with these people and remember them suitably. Barbara, his wife, noticed a decided improve- ment in his memory but was fortunately unaware of the cause. Because Barbara, who had been the chief sufferer from his mental lapses, was a bit jealous of Leon, Peter decided to say nothing of this new and successful arrangement. One morning with a clear conscience and easy mind, Peter entered the breakfast room, and stood his golf bag against the wall. Good morning, Babs, he beamed cheerfully. 'lVIorning, she returned briefly. I can see that you have had no trouble remembering what day this is at any rate, Cwith a sardonic eye on the golf bagj. Peter's sudden slight rremonition of trouble was reassured by the thought of his personal Hle at the office. l'Oh yes, I remember, my dear, he said aloud, but I thought you wouldn't mind if I played golf this afternoon-or can I do something for you? I don't think so, his wife replied rather curtly. You would only be in the way, but remem- ber, I will never forgive you if you keep dinner waiting. I have so much to do today as it is. While Peter drove to the office, his thoughts were busily engaged in trying to recollect just what day it was, but he was no nearer a solution when he arrived. Immediately, he rang for Leon but, to h-is consternation, there was absolutely nothing listed on his personal memoranda for January 24. In the rush of the morning's work his worries slipped into the background, but returned when his golf partner called for him. Together, they thought up a foolproof plan to save Peter's skin and went off to their game in high spirits. At nearly seven Peter remembered that Bar- bara had said Udinner on time. He was almost home when he remembered that he had brought neither Howers nor candy to square any lapse of memory. After much skirmishing around, Qfor most shops were closedl he arrived at his apart- ment an hour and a half late. A bit hesitantly he rang the bell, for as usual, he had forgotten to take his key. No answer-he rang again-still no answer. The voice of the janitor interrupted his horri- fied musings. l'Good evening, sir. Mrs. Crandall told me to give you this note, if I saw you here. Peter thanked him and, after lengthy deliberation, got up sufficient courage to open the note. Dear Peter, he read- If, as usual, you have forgotten, Imightjust remind you that this is the day we move, and if you want any dinner, come over to the new address, 325 West Fifth St. Next morning a moving day card was added to Peter's personal files in the office. 0 Q The FlMSf'L of Morn z : Emily E. Moore Honourable Menlion. A hazy mist o'erspreao's the sky, The flush of morn is redalenfng The eastern lzeazrehs glow: The sun peeps o'er the hrlls: Ont on the h-ifls, alone I lie, And down at the joot of a rocky steep And wulrlz the morning grow. Is the ripplmg rush of a rfzill. The silenre 'is mzbrokefz, The heather grass 'is Zurirzkling Saw' for the larkfv sweet song, IVith early morwing dew: lVi11g'1'1zg 'its way towards If6'l1i't'7l, And through the trees, beyond the dales To greet the rising dawn. Is a broad expanse of blue. The dawn rreeps on 1mheraIded.' ' The day-star disappears: The husbarzdmarz comes forth anon To MII the rrops he rears.

AS PLANNED I think you will admit, sir, that the quality of my work during the last five years has been such that other students of the institution find it rather difficult to reach the standard I have set. I speak more in pain than in anger when I say that it has been a matter of profound surprise to me to note that you have not seen fit to acknowledge my value to the institution by giving me a timetable suiting my own personal wants. I think that I may say that I have been patient. I have con- tinued my efforts with unremitting zeal, and I think that I may Hatter myself that my endeavours have not been without result. Many stu- dents of this centre of learning have faithfully followed the example that I have set, and have therefore improved greatly their attitude toward school activities. I am sorry to have to force you into a decision but I think I owe it to myself to say candidly that unless you see the matter in the same way I do, I shall feel obliged to go to someonein a position to give me exactly what I desire in the way of a timetable. vi: rk :if AS DELIVERED If you are not too busy, sir, there is something I would like to speak to you about. In fact, the truth of the matter, in fact, is exactly- well,sir, I was precisely wondering whether-ofcourse I know this is a bad time-but to tell you the truth, sir, I have been wondering - of course it is just as you think best and I wouldn't think of insisting, but after all, perhaps I have made a mistake in mentioning it, but I was thinking that possibly you might bear in mind the idea of a new timetable for me at some future date.
