The phenomenal growth of the Mary Baldwin Seminary for more than a quarter of a century is the best testimonial of it- efficiency as an educational institution A thoroughly equipped corps of teachers, a healthful climate and school buildings with all modern sanitary arrangements and conveniences insure to the student unusual ad- vantages as well as a comfortable and pleasant home For catalogue apply to MISS E. C. WEIMAR, PRINCIPAL. ittlitb Our Advertisers f 5  «=J Epilogue. OW Time takes wings unto himself and flies — we know not whither ! Swifter than the flight of a homing-bird is the passage of each day ' s experiences. Ever dissolving into each other they forever blend or succeed each other in joy or woe like the shifting lines of a summer sky. Every yeai sees a swifter flight and a speedier evanishing. As the light-hearted child vainly strives with eager, outstretched arms to catch the golden sunbeams ever eluding his grasp, so do we just as vainly strive to detain Time in his flight. Now, the school year is gone with its hard study; gone, with its pleasant hours of recreation; gone, with its petty worries; gone, with its occasional testing times of real trial and trouble. And yet, there is one thing left of which even Time himself cannot rob us, memory. The past, as Wordsworth says, has Deposited upon the silent shore Of Memory images and precious thoughts That shall not die and cannot be destroyed. How kind is Mother Nature, in that she makes our pleasant memories the most lasting, smoothing away those of past worries till they are as if they had never been, save, perhaps, that we are the stro nger for their discipline. On the other hand, she leavee to us the fruits of all our labor and the accompanying happiness of strong, and at least partially successful effort. So it is mainly with satisfaction and pleasure that we thoughtfully turn the pages of this volume, which carry us back over the past school-year. What busy, happy days they were; so busy, that we did not realize how Time was flying ! Ever does this thought recur to us, and with it the melancholy realization that what is past can never more return. Even when we are happiest, this thought of the transiency of pleasure casts a shadow over us. Now, as for our achievements, in what light should we regard them? A story is told of Ole Bull, the great violinist, that, in answer to the high eulogy of a friend, he replied, The years of toil which I have spent for my art serve to show me bu the more clearly that I know nothing. If a genius could make this statement, should we be willing to rest content with our present attainments ' May we never consider our task as accomplished ! It is, then, with mingled gladness and sorrow that we contemplate our work which is finished, but not complete, as we bid farewell to this school-year, with its efforts, its failures, its successes. We want this volume to rest on the book-shelf of every Mary Baldwin girl, as a veritable souvenir, bringing to remem- brance the mingled yarn, good and ill together, ot school days. Now, as we tenderly turn the last leaf of this book, though it be with a sigh that what is past can never more return, let that sigh be succeeded by a smile at the happy memories of the term of ' 98 and ' oy. Edith Emily Holt. The Oldest Inhabitant. r- B. W. IOMAS BALDWIN WAVT is one oi the best known per- hi iges in M. B S circles. By nature self-possessed, slightly conceited, a trirl • indolent, ami extremely digni- lied, do yon wcm der that he is highly esteemed ? Asa pi ivileged character, he is a frequent visitor in all the recitation rooms, bill his most decided taste is for languages, while in other blanches he is a mere smattercr. In del man and French, he is a silent scholar: one would almost imagine him to In- a mule. He even •deeps iii class but that is tolerated since he has never been known to snore, and has no terrifying examinations in view, lo produce night-mare. He has a loudness tor - [iiincls ai d birds, spending much time in hunting the former and sedulously watching the How long has h been here? Judging from his conduct, one would In.- ,nie that In- hail founded the Seminary; but, like some .ills, he ntvei tells his age, so, how ate we to know ' . ' In addition to Ins conventional -nil ol graj . on state i his person is adorned with a medal presented to His Honor lor superioril) in general and Ins abilitiy in frightening both teachers and taught, in particular. lb- might be termed l.e Sergeut de Ville, lor he chases stray cats at nightfall, alarming the students more than would a whole battalion ol feline strangers. To show that he possi i -a ite blanche, the following storj is told ; At one time a pitcher ol watci was overturned on a couch. The occupant oi the room was about to be severely reprimanded foi carelessness, when some one came to ihe ie cue, and said, I!. W. did it. Needless to say the deed was al luded i« no mote, alter ihe leachtr had assured the e,iil that the offense was not so flagrant, alter all. We owe Miss Miller a debt ot gratitude foi her d Monsieur Baldwin Wayt, to ihe Seminary, His first mission was to amuse the •; it Is, who were sick in the Infirmary. The In- tendant btcame vei much attached lo him, and w ben she went away; she longed f r B. W. lo acccnijany her, but neither physical nor moral suasion rould Leisuade him to view a new home with approval, so lie still remains a devoted attache oi the Seminary. During his youth, music was bis favorite study and pastime. For mans eais he was connected with Ihe Thomas but, owing lo his obesity u years, he has In en i I to indulge in milder forms of amusement than were once his w ait B. W ' . ' s abstinence from all bad habits assures him lone; life. May he live forever and die happy. When bis funeral oration is delivered a second Mark Antony cannot say, This was a man; lor he is only the pet, pride and joy of ihe M. B. S-, in the shape of a cat. Mr. M Erskine Miller The following yar he became an at- tendant at the Western State Hospital, being afterwards trans- ferred to the steam department as fireman and sttam-fitter. Then the Wesleyan Female Institute secured his services as engineer and plumber. He held this position for four years, when he left Staunton and remained two years at Rockbridge Alum Springs. But. again, the mighty cause of Education was calling him, and to its urgent appeal he nobly responded. Returning to Staunton, he became an employe of the Mary Baldwin Seminary, where he has since discharged theduties of night watchman. having the care of the steam and heating apparatus of the institution during the night watches. Mr Smyth ' s versatile talents have proved a great blessing to this institution; for he has served in the various capacities of engineer, steam fitter, painter, superintendent of the grounds, boy-terrifier, etc Soon after being taken into Miss Baldwin ' s employ, he re- turned to Ireland on a visit to his mother. While in the Child Counthry. he married, and on his return to America brought his wife with him, John Smyth seems to have found his life-work Though paths of tame are open to him in other directions, he has magnanimously resigned them all and will devote his time and talents to the Seminary. In the spring of ' 98, when the shrill scream of the American Eagle was heard over all the land, summoning her sons to war — John Smyth burned to go to the aid of his adopted country. His patriotism, his valor, his ambition were aroused — but then, he bethought him of the chaos he would leave behind. Who would care for the beloved palms in the warm- house? Who would apprehend the stray V. M. I. boy that strolled by the Sem. and gazed at the windows ? Who would fire blank-cartridges at the love-sick serenader, as he harmlessly warbled his amorous ditties to the sleeping maidens within ? John Smyth asked himself these questions. He trembled for the good of the Seminary, and, although the struggle was a hard one, gave up his ambition and remained with us A little anecdote, which we have heard related of him, will serve to show his enthusiasm on the war question. A troop of soldiers were passing through Staunton To the multitude ot people at the depot, suddenly appeared the apparition of John Smyth, approaching in mad haste He had no hat; the breeze was tossing his hair and flapping his coat-tails. There was a gasli under his eye. Some one asked him what was the matter. Faith, I heard the soldiers were coomin ' .an ' I didn ' t see the fince, an ' here it is. answered Mr. Smyth, pointing to the gash. We rejoice to say. however, that despite its many allure- ments, the war did not entice hint away, and we may still hear the familiar voice calling, Young loidies, plase close yer blinds! Kate Jonks. Short Sketch of Mr. John Smyth, Commandant of the Corps of Night Watchman, with Rank of Brigadier General, Chief Superintendent of the Steam Heating Depart- ment, Head Horticulturist, etc., etc., of the Mary Baldwin Seminary. N attempting to treat a subject or ' so vast importance in the briel space allowed us, we wish to inform our readers that we can only place l efore them :i very superficial account of the life of this famous personage For a mote thorough study and philosophical consideration of his works and adventures. we refer them to Hon. Blarney O ' Shandy ' s Irish Heroes, ' ' Wilton Waggle- way ' s ' Men of the Day, Andy McDooley ' s Interesting Reminu Distinguished Individuals, also several recent articles in the leading maga- zines and periodicals ol the time. The land of Mr. Smyth ' s nativity is clearly revealed bj the sweet, musical mi dulatioii of his voice and its pleasing intonations, peculiar to the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle. He was horn near Granard, County Longford, Ire. land, in the year 1865. He passed the days ol boyhood and youth upon the paternal estate, engaged in the pursuit of agriculture. His young mind was strongly impressed by soul-stirring legends of Bogies and Spooks, in which the county abounded. These legends worked upon his restless, adventurous spiiit. They made him j earn to leave the protection ol his father ' s Kof and seek his fortune in foreign land.-.. At the age of twenty-three, following the example of another illustrious weater of the same title— Captain John Smyth, of Pocahontas fame— he em barked for America. After a stormy voyage, fraught with many perils, John Slllvth at last bade Uncle Sam good morning and landed ill New York. A well known building contractor succeeded in securing hi:- services. In a short while, however. Mr. Smyth tired of this employment, and found more congenial work in a 1 ope- walk. When this occupation became, in turn, monot- onous, he applied for a position to the General Superintendent of the gigantic steamship line plying between New Ytrk and New Haven. He was imme- diately engaged as a deck hand. But some great force, some irresistible magnetism, was drawing John Sm th southward. He came to Staunton and enteltd the serviced the late The Book Party. N lieu of its usual musical and literary program, the Mary Baldwin Literary Society, on the evening of Fehiuary twelfth, held a book party in the Gymnasium, to which all the members of the faculty were invited. These guests were entertained by the Reception Committee until time for the grand march. In the meantime, the other members of the Society, dressed in costume to represent some book or notable character in the same, assem- bled in a room across the hall. When all was ready, at a given signal, they marched into the Gymnasium to the inspiring strains of a march, played by one of the young ladies. The line was led by two young ladies, draned in red, white and blue, holding, crossed above them, two United States flags, to represent, Under Two Flags. After marching around the Gymnasium a number of times, to give the faculty a chance to guess what books or characters were represented refreshments were served, a feature of the evening especially enjoyed by every one. An informal dance followed, and altogether the evening Was a most pleasant one. Some of the books and characters represented were as follows : Night and Morning was especially striking. Night was attired in a gown of black, covered with silver stars, and wore a silver crown on her head; while Morning, n bed in pink, healing a golden crown on her head, truly resembled the blush of dawn. The Princess was well represented by one ol the young ladies, handsomely gowned, with hair braided and a crown of pearls resting upon her head Maude Muller appeared in gingham dress, with the sleeves rolled up, a large handkerchief around her neck and a sun-bonnet on her arm. She carried r. rake with a lonely twig of grass in it- Sairey Gamp, the nurse, wore an old-time dress and a large sun-bonnet and carried an old broken umbrella together with a great many bottles. In Darkest Africa was cleverly represented by one of the young ladies, who had so effectually smutted herself that it was hard to tell whether she was really a native of Africa or a student at the Mary Baldwin Seminary. A Lady of Quality was attired in handsome pink silk and was further adorned with appropriate ornaments. The role of Helen ' s Babies was taken by two of the younger girls, dressed in long white garments, wearing dainty white bonnets on their heads. Wee Wifie was attired in full bridal costume. Looking Backwards was most ludicrous. She wore a dress fastened up the back, a collar on backwards, her hair over her face, a mask on the back of her head, and a hat on back- wards also. She met with much applause. Miss America wore a costume of red, white and blue. • Quo Vadis was represented by one of the young ladies, dressed in full travelling suit, with a large interrogation point on the front of her frock. She carried a large valise. Many other interesting books and characters were also repre- sented, but it would take too much time and space to mention each one in detail. After a more or less exhaustive strain on our gray matter, in trying to determine what book or character each member present represented, we weie inclined to answer the question, What ' s in a name, by saying that the knowledge of even the titles of our great books up to date would be a possession of which any one might be most proud.

Burmeister. NE ot the leading pianists of the day, and the one, perhaps, who most delights the American public by his vigorous and brilliant execu- tion, is Richard Burmeister, of New York. His very appearace is striking. A tall and graceful figure, a well-poised head, a counte- nance upon whose clear-cut features are de- picted manliness, energy and strength of character, all these combine to make the play- er a very handsome man, while his flexible wrists and long slender fingers suggest many pleasant possibilities of piano technique, which are happily realized in his playing. Mr. Burmeister has that sympathetic and poetic touch which carries sunshine and happiness into the hearts of all his hearers. If Liszt ' s trill was like the warble of a bird, Burmeister ' s is scarcely less so. With this delicacy is combined great power. The muscles of his wrists seem to be of steel when he strikes those mighty chords which are the glory of music. This great power, however, is never used for mere effect, as is shown by his perfect repose, even when playing the most difficult passages. There is no swaying of the body, or rocking to and fro on the piano-stool, but instead, a prevailing calmness, both of body and countenance. In those sad, sweet strains of Chopin ' s Funeral March, his beautiful pianissimo touch comes into play, while in theHungarian Rhapsody his power and brilliancy of execution are noticeable. Burmeister ' s rendering of Chopin ' s Valse shows him to be a worthy interpreter of that great master, and he plays Beethoven ' s Sonata Apassiouata, which is the Hamlet of pianoforte com- positions, with all the pathos and dramatic power it demands. Burmeister ' s reputation does not rest upon his great gifts as a pianist alone, for he is also a temarkable composer, as is manifest in such brilliant compositions as his Ballade in C sharp minor, his Elegy in D flat major, and his Capriccio in C major. Too much cannot be said, however, in praise of his playing, for he has all that finish, that perfection of style, and, above all, that touch, which constitute a great artist. Moreover, he inherits the musical methods of the grand old masters, Liszt and Rubin- stein—those who, as some one has said, though dead, yet speak to all future generations. A. Merrill Proctor. universal applause, that he grinned with pleasure, displaying a set of dazzling whit« teeth, which would have made the fortune ol a dentifrice advertiser, replying, Ain ' t it nice. ' . On being asked to sing, lie gave us ' Jesus Lover of My Soul, and then. not waiting for applause, repealed again with naive self approval, Ain ' t it nice ? On the following night, the Literary Society sent down a reporter, armed with a large pad and writing materials to take note of the principal points of his lecture, but the sum total of her efforts, much to the mortification of the dignified lady, was. Ain ' t it nice The first part of his discourse was devoted to wholesome advice on the subject of matrimony, his ( ea being that the bride should hunt for the groom, an opinion in which the young ladies differed from him. He also advocated a long noon recess in our daily school routine, during which we might do as we pleased, or follow his school-days ' example by taking a nap He told of his experiences in regard to this form of noon recreation. One day he went to school, dressed in his best bib and tucker. It being the occasion of his twelfth birthday, he had just been supplied with a new outfit, and perhaps had grown some since a similar event, at any rate, when the usual noon recess was announced and the boys all crowded into the large hall to refresh themselves, he found his trousers too tight to allow him to stretch out on the floor, as hi companions did, so when the teacher came round and found his pupil still awake and so much ahead of time in his twentieth century suit, he gave him a sound thrashing. The tact of the teachers ' and principal ' s presence did not seem to make any difference to the stout old lecturer, wli us the stories, and he kept up a continual round of rambling dis- course on love, war and adventure until he had seemingly come to the end of his ideas, but we were mistaken. He then brought out a large lamp shaped affair, which he placed in the middle of the chapel and named, magic lantern. He then proceeded to display a large number of pictures, most heterogenous in selection, and seemed to be as much inter- ested in them as any one else. After each picture he would ex- claim enthusiastically, Ain ' t it nice? After the lights were turned on again, he sang several songs, winding up with Dixie, which was much applauded The girls then took leave of the amiable orator, with his last words still ringing in their ears- Aain ' t it nice?

It had been placed on the bulletin board the morning after we had been given a brief chapel talk by Mr. Krikor Hagop Basmajian, p.n Armenian, whose vocabulary, to say the least, was not very extensive, his favorite expression being, Ain ' t it niece ? which was used after each long-winded narrative, whether of churches, religions, Armenian customs, marriages, Turkish dances schools, modes of burial, the art of taking noon naps, in fact, every subject concerning literature, religion, society and politics, all of which he discussed at length during his two visits. At his first appearance he was so talkative and good natured that he pleased the girls thoroughly, and when he inquired, ' How would you like for me to come up and give you a lecture? the proposition met with such The Glee and Mandolin Concert of the University of Virginia. ASSING down to dinner on t lie afternoon of December the second, we noticed .1 blank papei on the plate t each teacher, as there always is when we are t the opportunity to o to any entertainment. We girls knew the ( ' .let.- Club was to give a 1 0111 ei 1 in Si mnti ' ii . bul hardl) hope that we the Seminary girls, would be allowed the pleasure ol attending it. so you may imagine our interest and excitement when we found that we were to go. After much giving and taking ol advice in regard to oui costumes for tins grand occasion we appealed, sirangt to say, in • 11 1 Mack uni- forms at the appointed hour in the opeia house. After waiting a few moments with much curiosity for the curtain to rise, our patience was rewarded by the appearance of the entile ( ' dee and Mandolin Clubs in tin Scorcher March, and such remarks as these might have been heard from various girls: ' Isn ' t hectlte? Which one 5 Oh ! look at the one wi.h the blue cover on his mandolin: he has the sweetest eyes! Who is that second violinist smiling at ? ' A mighty cute smile, whoever it ' s for. Do lend me your opera glasses; 1 must see those eyes again ! By the time the march was over, I am positive each girl had decided which was the most attractive member of the club. Next came Borun. by the Glee Club. Their voices were all very good Then the Mandolin Club played Sweet Memo ries.

Then follow. Wooing ami Stars and Stripes by the Mandolin Club, the latter meeting with an eiithu- bursl 0! applause irom the whole house. The Glee Club sang The Catastrophe in a very amusing manner, and as an encore sang At the Last Game of Ball, If von remember, Carolina beat them six to two on Thanksgiving — hurrah for Carolina ! and consequently the singers all went Weeping from the sta c.

Many of my victims wished I would come to see them again. This was the refinement of cruelty. They could not have known the hours spent on that toilet, and the self-abasement of that denial smile. Some — may all praise be given them —were charming They actually subscribed ! Bad as my calls tor subscriptions were, those for advertise- ments were even worse. The propiietors, also, must have read my deep designs, judging from the interminable time they kept me waiting. Several had the effrontery to tell me that the ad- vertisement would do them no good. In fact, it would be the same thing as giving the money to me. My poor character ! Would these people leave a shred of it ? I had expected to be hailed as a harmless lunatic, but to be called a highwayman was more than I anticipated. I made touching appeals to their loyalty to the Seminary, and to their desire for eternal glory in having helped a noble cause, but, in vain. Others, with whom we poor girls had spent our last pennies, with supreme condescension agreed to take a quailcr of a page. And the bitterness of finding, in case the proprietor were young enough for me to dare propose it, that the fact that he would receive, if he advertised, a free copy of the Annual with our pictures in it, did not awaken a glow of enthusiasm. I came home weary but revengeful, and planned a conspiracy that would have done honour to Cataliue. We girls would get together and boycott every merchant who would not advertise with us. Of course, that would destroy his business, and we should have the delight of seeing him sell out at cost. At first it was very hard to see my friends steal around the corner, at my approach, and have the members of the family stop their ears at the inadvertent mention of Annual, but, as with the rest of life ' s woes, I gradually grew hardened, and ceased to lament But the fine copy I would prepare, only to have it ruthlessly destroyed by a sister editor ' s censorship. A particu- larly fine grind must go. because the subject was the darling of somebody on the editorial staff. An excrutiatiugly funny joke must also sink into oblivion for the same reason. Everybody ' s cuticle developed such a sudden and surprising sensitiveness, that we editors began to believe that nothing less impersonal than a collection of Thoughts on the Universe would be acceptable. Such have been some of the woes, which I, in common with the other editors, have experienced in our Herculean task. May the dear public of our readers — none the less dear because limi- ted — duly appreciate our efforts ! Eugenia Sproul Bumgardner Woes of an Editor. N editor ! How thrilling ! The very word set my brain on fire. Already I saw my name blazoned forth on fame ' s immortal roll How mam ofoill noblest in Literature had risen from that humble position to their high estate. Yes, and I too would SO rise. It was a trifle disconcerting, however, when I was handed a long list of people, whom, as my first duty, I was to ask to sub- scribe to the Annual. I had pictured myself working on manu- scripts into the midnight hours, becoming thin, pale, and hag- gard, like all Grub Street authois, alarming the family, in tact, as to my health. Hut oh ! the infinite pleasure of knowing that secretly they were so proud of me. Did it after all mean only this? I thought of that Inferno to which I had a thousand times sent hook agents foreign missionaries and church fair drummers, who, In then artful stories, had gotten my last fifty cents. The word editor. however, proved s ' til inspiring It came to my rescue, and, by ennobling the distasteful duty thrust upon me, saved a pnit. at least, of my fast tumbling fairy castle. To be sure, there must be disagreeable work. Why, o( course, biographies always told abot the horrid things famous men have had to do. i looked over the names on the subscription list. Was there ■me whose friendship foi me extended all the way to fifty cents ? Honest} compelled me to answer, No! Should I renounce friendship for fame? For a moment the scales hung balanced Fame, I cried, friendship ' s but a name. And then, there are compensations, even for the lo-s of a friend; for, when future historians Write one up, some sentimental creatures will weep over my devotion to duty and the hardhearted way in which I was treated. Dressed in my be-t, therefore, and affecting my most in gratiating smile, I sallied forth. The arguments I had learned were most thoroughly convincing. The Annual was to be the cleverest tiling yet published— it was to have a beautiful white and yellow cover — it was eight inches by eleven — tile jokes were entirel} new. as weie the grinds also (may heaven pardon me, but it was absolutely necessary) — and most convincing of all, of course, were my victim a man, it was to have our pictures in it Tremblingly I rang the bell. So sorry, but Miss is out Could she have known ? Do you suppose it wa- possible that she read in my face that I was coming to mulct her ol fitly cents? Oh 1 for a looking-glass to practice a different expression. I was sine that in the last peep I had taken when leaving home I had looked utterly innocent, and had positively congratulated myself that my face had not betrayed any base intentions, My next appeal, and. in the lace of all these argument- of mine too. met with I he response that she had seen so many school Annuals, and had found thtm so decidedly alike, so little originality . Olhtrs, among m l.okul foi subsciibers were dtsperately inteiestid m tie Seuiii ary, but had soman} things to do with their fifty cent-. I was thor. ughh in sympathy with these, but fire burned in a big, open fire place and before it, in a great chair, sat the same girl. Yes, she was the same in some respects, but oh, how different in ithers ! She was undoubtedly more beautiful than she had been a year before, with the beauty, not of a young girl, but of a mature woman. This time her pale blue dress was of handsome silk, her golden hair was piled on her head like a crown of gold, and those deep blue eyes wore a far different expression. There was a far-away, wistful look in them, an indefinite something which suggested that they had wept many bitter tears. Just then there was a knock on the door, and a little page entered bearing a large box It just came, m ' am; I think the master sent it; shall I leave it here? he asked respectfully, and being answered in the affirmative, laid it down and went out. Slowly she began to open it, as if she felt very little interest in the contents. Within lay some exquisite red roses and on them was a card with these words, May you spend this Valentine day as happily as you did the last one. If he only knew the pain these words brought to her heart; but, no ! she was determined that he should never know, though even as she m ide tins brave resolve, her tears fell thick and fast upon the roses. Grandma ' s faded old eyes were weeping too, when she came to herself after this long retrospect, and as she meekly picked up the neglected knitting, liei tremulous lips murmured, It might have be en.

Outside the wind howled dismally, as an accompaniment to i -low drizzling rain, but within, everything was bright and cheerful Presently a young j irl came running in, carrying a bouquet ol American Beauty rose-.

I know the) will bring Hack to you memories ol some Valentine ' lay long ago, an. I if the story is real interesting you must tell me about it after a while. Suiting the action to the word, she arranged the great fragrant roses in a bowl, and went out singing. As Grandma gazed at them, there was a smile on her lips, and even a pretty blush swept over her face, for sure enough she was thinking, as old folks are wont to do, of the past — yes, of a Valentine day exactly sixty years ago. Her busy finger- grew slow, slower, and slower in their movements, her old eyes gradu- ally began to droop, until at last she sat perfectly still, though the smile still i laved gently about her lips She saw before her a piainly furnished, but neat and tasteful room, into which a young girl entered, dressed in a plain blue gingham fux-k which seemed exactly to suit her delecate style of lieauty, and Grandma noted with pride her slender figure, golden hair and sweet modest blue eyes. In the room -at i young soldier boy. whose frank, open face lighted up when he saw the girl cnttr, and he advanced t ward hei with both hands extended.

God morning. he said, with a bright smile, you see I heve cast aside all rules and regulations, and have driven over to bring yon my Valentine instead of send- ing it. How beautiful the red looks against that pale blue dress The sun-burned, ruddy face of the soldier boy turned pale as he stood there listening and the girl ' s face paled a littli as he said good-bye to her, and quietly left the room — never to return.

There are various convenient places and cozy corners provided for those who care to indulge in mild flirtations and cultivate student friendships In the halls, hanging over the baluster, or on in- viting looking couches in a secluded corner of the members ' room, may be seen groups of men and girls who have sauntered out during rest to get a breath of air. they say. The mem hers ' room is a very atti active feature of the League On a long table in the center of the room are all the latest magazines, periodicals and art journals of the day. also a good art library containing many excellent works on ait and reference books, which all the students are at liberty to take advantage of from nine until four, but the room is open at all hours. The morning classes close at quarter past twelve, and the afternoon class begins at half-past twelve so during that hour there is a general rush and hurry to cloak rooms, boarding houses, and lunch room where many students who work all dav and live at a distance, take their noon-day meal. The League provides lunch for the students at the least possible price so that one ' s hunger can be satisfied for eight cents and an ample repast is furnished for sixteen cents. The lunch room is large and airy, and contains a number of small tables and chairs At one end is a long table supplied with pens, ink and paper for the use of the students. On one side, is a long counter, like those seen in dairy lunch rooms, where three German girls prepare the food on a gas range and supply the wants of the hungry. On the counter all day sits a basket of ap- ples, which may be had at a penny a piece. A glass of milk is only four cents, and every afternoon at four, tea, crackers and butter are served for four cents and that is the time when the affluent art student give the girl he likes best a four cent treat This quiet and monotonous existence is occasionally interrupted hy treats which are given b a new mtniber of the life class. In the women ' s classes it is usually ice cream, but occasion- ally one more venturesome will serve champagne cider, and when Thomas the Mighty. who knows all things, brings up a bowl of cracked ice and there is a sound ot clinking glasses and merry singing th class in the next room is speechless with astonish- ment, for the men think they all might attend, and such hilarity reminds them of their own treats whose principal feature is the festive punch bowl, when the halls ring with songs and shouts, and speeches, to say nothing of heating tin pans On Tuesdays and Fridays, an entirely different spirit seems to pervade the class rooms, for these are criticism days. Criticisms are regarded as a necessary evil by some, and accepted accord- ingly, while others are intensely rebellious, or become discouraged and go home, only t;j return the next day with renewed hope and secret determination to make a master piece. The daily routine of school life is varied occasionally by visits to art galleries, private exhibitions, walks in the park or midnight suppers — and, for some more fortunate ones — Grand Opera a ' nd Symphony Concerts, for music is so closely allied to art that the study of one makes the other all the more appreciated. The watchword of the student seems to be ' Hope, for there are so ni.iiiy disappointments and failures, and the best one can do falls so far short of one ' s aim and ambition, that were it not for the hope of success m some future effort, they would surely grow weary and give up the struggle and many would could they know what was folded in the bosom of the morrow ; but instead. they comfort themselves with dreams of the artists ' millenium, which Kipling tells about when, Only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame; lint each with the joy of the working, and each in his separate -tar, Shall draw the Tiling as he sees it for the God of Tilings as Thev Are. Sadie Isabelle Metz, (A former student at the M. 13. S ) The Life of an Art Student in New York. IflRyOST people I P student have an erroneous idea of the life of an art Sonic think it all work, and others all fun; whereas it is neither, only the artistic temperament makes it perhaps a bit more intense in both extremes. It is certainly not to be wondered at that art student life assumes a distinct in- dividuality when it is known that the city of New York, according to statistics, includes fourteen thousand art students who come to the gay metropolis to seek fame and fortune: though it is to lie (eared that the ultimate result of the labors and ambition of the greater number will not be known to history. So far as the personal gain is concerned, one never feels that love ' s labor lias been lost in the study of art, for, if the pursuit of a frivolous art seriously, ennobles and strengthens, how much more benefit must be derived Irom the serious, earnest study of one of the highest arts, which teaches us to appreciate the true, the beautiful and the good in all nature. The Art Students ' League, on Fifty seventh street, is only one of the many art schools in New York, but it is one of the most prominent, and a short sketch of the life there gives one a gen- eral idea of the routine and life of all It might be said to be in Artists ' Row, for more than half the houses from Stven ' h to Ninth avenue are boarding-houses and filled mostly by art students. From eight o ' clock in the morning until ten at night. men and women, boys and girls may be seen going to and from the League usually bearing the distinctive characteristics of the art student -frowzy hair, carelessness in dress, half grown beard, and carrying paint boxes and sketch books. It eenis to puzzle tne general public why people who are artistic and claim to be lovers of the beautiful, should be careless in dress, but. as a member of that much scorned tribe. I woul 1 s;i to them — try the life of an art student away from home, living in a boarding-house, and then you will understand. Most art students have very limited means; they live in fourth floor, back-hall rooms without an heat, and are frequently reminded by the landlady that they cannot demand the same consideration in the dining-room as those who occupy the Second storv front room . Some rent cheap rooms in an undesirable part of the city, and cook their own meals on small gas stoves, while others per- haps six cr eight take a flat together, hire one servant, who is maid of all work and take turns in housekeeping. If they are strong and can stand this latter Bohemian existence, thev can live com- fortably on twenty d liars a month and very often much less. The morning classes begin at hall past eight, and as each Monday, except Concou.s Week, there is a new model, if one is anxious for a good place, she eats a hurried breakfast, paying more attention to the clock than to the food. Hurrying oft, she draws perhaps number thirteen instead of the much hoped for two or three. The women classes are usually more quiet than the men and get much less fun out of it, which goes to prove the truth of the old proverb about ' ill woik and no play, for the men invariably turn out the best work as a class, if not individually The class rooms are separated by a thin wooden partition so that a con- versation in one room is plainly audible in the next if the voices are not well modulated The men afford much entertainment While we wish the hour would pass, With a groan ! And the Kac — all. the Fac ! They who put us on the rack, Without moan, Listening to the tolling, tolling Of that muffled monotone, Feel a glory in so rolling On the student ' s heart a stone. Whisper low in spe, iking of them; There ' s no power on earth ahove them, Thev keep the roll ! Ever sounds the weary beat Of the students ' shifting feet Keeping time, time, time To the throbbing of the bells— To the sobbing of the bells; As they listen to their knells — As thev hear the note that fells All their hopes in rolling bells. All their dreams in tolling bells. In the crying and the sighing of the bells. IV. All the ev ' ning still they sound- Iron bells ! Telling weary mortals that the walking hour rolls round.

After service, we all had to keep our places until every- body had left the church and then we were taken back in the same way we came The night of a soiree was an exciting time with us. We usually wore wdiite on such occasions, for no one was allowed to appear on the stage in colors. At a ten minutes of eight, the line was formed on the back gallery and marched to chapel. We had to sit on long benches, termed by Us circus benches, which were on each side of the stage. There we had to sit during the entire evening, with nothing to support our backs, our eyes fixed on tile stage, and listening to music we had heard practiced ior months before. After the entertainment was over we were allowed to talk for a few minutes to any of our friends who were present and then hurried to our rooms We did not believe in holidays at our school . so had very few, Thanksgiving Day, three days at Christmas. Lee ' s birthday and three days in the spring Ou the night after Thanksgiving Day rumors were afloat that a most strictly forbidden and unholy festivity, namely a mid-night feast, had been participated in by some of our girls, but such occasions were always kept secret, so the truth was never known. The long stretch from January to the close of school was broken by a rest of a lew days in April and at last June did come, and with it home going. N ' eed I attempt to describe the last day of school ? Most, if not all of those into whose hands this little book may tail have passed through that period. If so, as they read this little sketch of a Baldwin girl ' s life, the memory of those days will rise before their mind ' s eye more vividly than I can hope to make it b my pen Suffice it to say that with hearts light, yet shadowed with a feeling ol regret at saying farewell to so many friends, we left the Seminary for our far away homes, bearing with us many sweet thoughts oi the pleasures experienced there and rapidly lading memories ol its trials.

We were ill required to be present at chapel service, which was held at a quarter of nine o ' clock in the morning, and the remainder of the clay was spent in study and recitation. Oh, the hours I pored over that dn adful l.ivy i spent trying to commit to memorj Latin poetry ! I could learn it. hut the trouble came when I tried to say it My heart would give one hound into my throat and prevent me from Uttering the wo ds no matter how hard I tried. Of all that I learned, I now know only one line, which was a source of con stant comfort to me: Forsitans haec oliin uieminisse juvabit. Perhaps it will he pleasant to remember these tiling in time to come Then, too, I had to spend hours upon the stud of Dry- den or Pope 01 some equally uninteresting author. At last, how- ever, that ' dear tocsin of the soul. the dinner-bell, sounded and put an end to my troubles lor a while As soon as the bell for dismission of classes rang, the girls always collected on the back gallery and promenaded until time to descend to the dining-room. They were always eager for a chat at this time, and one in passing would hear such bits of conversation as this : Isn ' t he hand some ? He is just too cute ! Who this mysterious hr in, you would not be able to find out from what was said, but might guess that it was one of those fascinating ' suitors.

The afternoon, like the morning, was always spent in study and recitations, until walking time. The most secluded streets were always selected tor this half hour of recreation, for a Bald- win girl must Ilevei appeal oil Main Street or other public thoroughfares, unless, perhaps when she wants a hat or dress, or some such article.

Never can I forget the feeling that crept over me when I arrived at the M.

I have learned since that it was home sickness, hut then I only knew that I longed lor my dear old Alabama home with all my heart. In a lew days, however, work began and with it trouble. I always -no not alwnj s, but sometimes, got up at six to study but one morning. I think it was early in November. I failed to hear the rising bell and as a consequence was late to breakfast. I was told that I must receive five demerits and go to ' ofhee ' as punish- ment for this offense You who have never been to ' office ' at the M. B. S. can not appreciate this part of my story. Promptly at nine o ' clock, with several others, that had to pass through this dreadful ordeal. I was ushered into the Library There we were set at work, some copying and learning passages from Para- dise Lost or ' Pilgrim ' s Progress. some writing French or Her- man verbs and some copying page after page of Webster ' s Un- abridged. Oh. the horrors of that morning ! We were kept until the clock struck twelve and you may be sure we profited by that morning ' s expeiience, for I. for one. did not have to go again for Six long weeks. Immediately after breakfast each morning came mail-call. We all flocked to the Hall if the weather were too cold for the mail to be distributed on the back gallery. An immense basket wa= then brought lioni the office and one of the leacheis or girls distributed the mail. Such a mass and jumble of girl as we were! We would climb on chairs or tables and push and jostle each other in our efiorts to get nearer that delightful basket, and a doleful picture did those present who turned away without the coveted letter, for something dreadful must have happened or something must be the matter with the mail or that letter would have come.

The Origin, Growth and Prospects of the Mary Baldwin Literary Society. Tthe beginning of the session ' 98- ' 99, a few of the old girls and some of the newcomers gradually awakened to the fact that a school of the size of the Mary Baldwin Seminary shinilil have a Literary Society. The project was discussed for several weeks, and was finally brought to a decided issue on the evening of Saturday, November the 19th, in a meeting in the chapel to formally present the subject to as many of the girls as were interested. The meeting resulted in the foundation ol the Mary Baldwin Literary Society of sixty-eight charter-members. It was resolved that the Society should aim to afford the girls a pleasant recreation and at the same time to create an interest in general literature and an instructive drill in parlia- mentary law. After a committee was appointed to draw up the constitution and by-laws of the Society, the meeting adjourned. Officers were elected at the next meeting. It was further decided that the Society should have a literary organ, and accordingly Tlic Mary Baldwin Miscellany was estab- lished with a board of three editors. In this term of ' 98- ' 99 many enjoyable and profitable evenings have been afforded the girl bj the Literary Society. We are sure every member will recall with pleasure the Book Tournament in Fiction at the first of the year; the Book Social, where every member was dressed in a costume representing either the title or character of some noted book: also the interesting and heated debate on the following subject : ' Resolved, that Higher Edu- cation tends to unfit a woman fir domestic life; and, finally the enjoyable Easter programme with its novel feature the story of two Easter egg . written by four of the members in collaboration. Tin- Society ' s prospects for the future are very bright. Through the kind interest and patronage of the Board of Trustee-, a hall has been promised for the future use of the Society Its financial affairs are in a very nourishing condition, and it is the aim of the organization in time to furnish the promised hall with appropriate pictures, furniture ami books. If the growth of the Society i as marked in the next lew years as it has been in this initial year of its existence, it will indeed k a credit, both to its founders and to its future patrons and members The pictures of the officers of the Mary Baldwin Literary- Society for the term of ' 98 ' 99 appear on the opposite page. The first set. those who held office Iron) December the 3rd to March the 11th, are as follows: President. Miss Kate Jones; First Vice- President, Mi s Mattie White: Second Vice-Piesident, Mi s Win- ifred Adder ton; Recording Secretary, Mi s Isabella Scott; Cor- responding Secretary, Miss Lucy Boyd; Treasurer, Miss Olivia Barrow.

A. fr HIS society was organized five years ago in the M. B. S. with Miss Preston as its president. She was succeeded for two sessions by Miss DnBose. on whose resignation Miss Crocheron was chosen to fill the place. During the present year Miss Turnbull has been the presiding officer. The growth of this society both in numbers and in interest has been most encouraging. Starting with but a few members, its roll has lengthened till it now includes over half of the girls in the Seminary. A prayer meeting is held every Friday night in which many of the girls take important parts. Once a month an evening is set apart for a missionary programme, which i.icludes essays and talks upon the various mission fields, their inhabitants, customs, religions and needs. To enable us to study more intelligently these lands, we have recently purchased a very fine mission map of the world. We have also a very interesting missionary study class held every two weeks and conducted by one of the teachers. In these ways we are brought into touch with the wonderful work which is being carried on all over, the world. The Y. W C. A. has been rightly called The Christian Sorority. In our Seminary, it seems to bring the students not only into a closer relationship with each other, but also with things spiritual and we hope that the time will soon come when to no student of the M. B. S. will the saying apply that — A woman without religion is like a flower without fragrance. Elizabeth Harsen Turnbuli.. eived high commendation.

They moved to Charlotte from Baltimore two years ago. Mrs. Barron attended the Seminary during the first year of its existence under Miss Baldwin. Though very young at the time, she remembers distinctly that they were preparing for a May Queen celebration at the close of school and having delightful times rehearsing when the Union army came down the Valley, taking possession of Staunton and breaking up the school.

Editorial Greeting. 3 itli the first issue of The Mary Baldwin Souvenir, the Animal of our Seminary enters upon a new phase of development and, we trust, progress We, the editors, have tried faithfully to make the hook what its title represents it to he — a souvenir of the past year of school life. Although the obstacles met with have heen many, our efforts have been crowned with such a measure of success as enables us to put The Souvenir before our leaders, not by any means as the embodiment of our ideal for such a publication, but as the nearest approximation to it possible under existing circum- stances, We are sure that those interested in the school and all brandies of its work will glance through the pages of The Souvenir with kindly criticism and sympathetic appreciation ol our efforts to give the school memories of ' 98- ' aa a tangible form Should we succeed in winning their approval, our satisfaction will be complete. Our heartiest thanks are due to many kind friends whos. assistance and encouragement in all ways have heen of inestimable value to us. Among these are many of the old students who have responded with great enthusiasm to calls for subscriptions and appeals for information about themselves and former school- mates. The present students also have rallied with marked loyalty about the enterprise, ami Miss Weimar, our Principal, has lent her assistance wherever possible. Especial thanks are due to Mr. Armistead C. Cordon, of Staunton, whose beatiful poem enriches the book, to Mrs. Lila Ripley Barnwell, herself a former student, who contributed the poem beginning the Notes on the Old Girlsand to Mrs. R.H.Willis, to wdiose kindness we are indebted for the exquisite illustrations ol Mr. Gordon ' s poem Miss Elizabeth Gibbs and Miss Elizabeth Bronsen have also rendered us invaluable assistance by their con- tribution of the pen and ink sketches of the book. To these and all others who have aided us in any way we tender our sincerest thanks and hope that their faith in tin-, school enterprise may meet with such justification in its success as to prove ample compensation for their hearty co-operation and good will The Editors.

Bright beacon on a rugged hillside, Fair Guiding Star ; Thy daughters, cherished Alma Mater, Hail thee from near and far. Fair f ame hath wreathed thine ancient portal With laurels green. We bring the buds of sweet affection. Twining the leaves between. Sweet echoes wake the peaceful valley, While mountains ring. As voices from the years long faded, Blend in the song we sing. O ' er Western wave, from empires olden. In cadence come, Brave souls who bear afar good tidings Claiming thee, home sweet home. White and yellow sing we ever, All our hearts to rule. Fond memories with thee ever linger. Long live the dear old school. And now, when fields are wintry white. And fro en lies Life ' s way, His glittering plumes have lost their light, His colors have grown gray. Yet, weary with his Buttering, He still continues on the wing. All. me ! if I might once again, As on that yesterday. But listen foi that liquid strain, Hut dream that he would stay ' How sweet the dream ! oh. Stay and sing, Not ever thus upon the wing ' Lost hope of youth ! The Bird of Time Returns not o ' er his track. The flashing wings of morning ' s prime May never hear him back. Through the dusk day still fluttering His little way, he ' s on the wing. Armistead C. Gordon, The Bird of Time. -- The Bird of Time has but a little way to flutter, and the Bird is on the wing. — Omar Khayyam. .. With brilliant hues his wings were bright. His plumage gold and gay; They glittered in the morning light Of youth ' s lost yesterday. I dreamed he could but pause and sins Yet he was ever on the wing. ■ . t - - ,  - He soared above the fronded trees Where morning breezes blew; He paused not for the morning breeze, Or bud, or bloom, or dew. Not all the promise of the spring Could lure him. ever on the wing. I watched him flashing down the day And listened for his song. The sunlight on his plumes was gay; The golden hours were long. Where Light o ' I.ove went summering The Bird of Time was on ihe wing. He saw the rose ' s opening bud Burst into sudden flame; He saw the autumn ' s red leaves flood The path down which he came. Nor flower, nor frost nor anything Might hold him, ever on the wing. Co miss eila Clair iUcimcr, Our efficient and Devoted Principal, Chis Book is Affectionately Dedicated. ALBERT SHll.TZ.
