He was only I I Lieutenant-Governor for the Earl of Orkney, who never -I I 1 I M came to this country to fill his office. Spotswood was the n LJ I I second substitute for the Earl, Lieutenant-Governor Nich- olson being the first. Q When Spotswood arrived in Virginia in 1710, he was received with great rejoicings. Did he not bring with him the long-desired Writ of Habeas Corpus ? Was not that enough to rejoice over? The Virginians had asked for this privilege long ago, but for some reason it had been withheld. As English subjects, they had a right to all the privileges of the British people. Why should they not have this great and good law? They had the other rights, why not this? But they now possessed what they had desired for so long, so they made merry over the arrival of their new executive, and they re- ceived him with a royal welcome. Q, No doubt Spotswood had heard the glowing reports of this new land; but the condition of the colony at his coming was not so prosperous as he per- haps expected it to be. Still, Spotswood set to work in the right way. He did not sit down and waste time because he was disappointed. He started immediately to improve the condition of certain products and to help the colony in every way possible. Q, Spotswood had served under Marlborough and had left the army on account of a bad wound in his breast, therefore he had a splendid martial training and he could keep the militia in good training, which was certainly needed. Just ait this time, the Indians were at peace with the Virginians, but some tribes were opening hostilities with the Carohnas and no one knew when they might break out against the Virginians. So it was well to be ready and waiting for any danger that might arise from that quarter. Q, And to avoid any such breaking out of the tributary Indians, Spotswood very wisely commanded that some of the sons of the chiefs, kings and queens, should be sent to William and Mary College. Here they had their own building, The Brafferton, and were students at the College; but in reality they were just twenty hostages, held for the good behavior of their people. c D=ic£l[]=l 3 n-,i-nn- k][]=.t£l [p ' T]c=r kitjcDiii. -nrL, J-i T- n-iP kiDn kiGzi LoOn f P LdL fsp kCb p]P kt f P pUP Lot P kiCb P pP p P kt -n rUrJInJ LnR-, cDtL c3dJ cDcJ cQcJ dJuA cQdJ r£]QJ £l[!=)c£][H £l[bc£][]J =afcc£]cJ z£]lLcaDJj =3P CT LDEhcDoi -U|j- ' -1JLj- Latic£lt! Q He also did what a great many other able and efficient governors failed to do — he undertook the education of the Indians, sending them good teachers and doing everything possible for their improvement. At Fort Christanna he built a school for them. This was composed of five houses, each one protected by a cannon — one of which is now on the campus of William and Mary College — and all surrounded by palisades. Spotswood often made trips to the school in all conditions of weather or of seasons, his interest in it was so great. At one time it was thought that it was kept up at his expense, but then it was discovered that it was run by the Indian Company. For all his care and interest not many results were noticed. Still Spotswood said that he would be glad if the coming generations would reap the benefit, that they couldn ' t expect wonderful changes immediately. Q An incident is related in the Makers of Virginia History about one of Spotswood ' s visits to the school. Fifteen of the Saponeys had been killed by the Genitoes, an Indian tribe, and when Spotswood came to inspect the school, they asked permission to send fifteen of their young men in order to avenge themselves. This request was granted, and pretty soon the young men came forth in full dress; their hair cut in curious shapes, their bodies painted blue and red, and wrapped in red and blue blankets. They had a very disagreeable odor from greasing their bodies with bears ' oil and from staying in their smoky cabins a great deal. They looked wild and were mighty shy of an Englishman. Q, Spotswood also helped the colony by the use of stringent methods with the pirates. During his administration all up and down the coast the pirates were ravaging the country, carrying ruin and destruction everywhere. Spots- wood soon captured some of less renown; but John Teach, known as Black- beard, and the most dangerous of all, eluded his vigilance for quite a time. At last Captain Henry Maynard surprised and captured him in Pamlico Bay in 1718. Blackbeard, as soon as the engagement had begun, had stationed a man at the powder magazine to blow up the ship if they should have to surrender. For some reason, the man failed to light the powder. And as the enemy were boarding his ship, Blackbeard started to stab the man, but fell dead as he reached over towards him. The crew was soon captured and taken to Williamsburg. Spotswood presided at their trial there. These men were soon afterwards hanged on the road that is now called Lovers ' Lane, because it is the popular promenade for the young people of that city. Q, Though Spotswood had a gentle breeding and a manly bearing, which was much loved by the Virginians, he often quarreled with the Burgesses and Council. He also combined the quality of obstinacy with Scottish candor and freedom of speech. L Dzicat! = P i j= p c f P t Lnn-,cJ[H k]Diic£lcz[ F P Cn Lrnj u u Ln r rJI n-l I Ln [ rH flJ I Ln r r-n n-l L£][ d][]J Q, When South CaroHna was fighting the Indians, Spotswood appealed to the Burgesses for supphes and money to aid them. The Burgesses rephed that they would hke to help their suffering neighbors, but that Virginia was not rich and that they ought to fortify their own State first. Spotswood became very angry at this, and after telling them that they were only considering the ideas of an ignorant people and not the welfare of their country, he dissolved them. Q, This was not the only difference Spotswood had with this body, though one of his better-known disagreements was with Commissary Blair. Up to this time, the vestry inducted the rectors. But now, if once a rector was in- ducted he was to be the pastor of that church for life, and since there were so few good preachers in the colony, the people were afraid of being saddled with a bad one. So, for that reason, very few ministers were inducted. Spots- wood now claimed the right to appoint the clergy. In this he was claiming more power than had ever been claimed by any governor before his day. As was the case with every one who contended with Blair, Spotswood was worsted. Q Then Spotswood wrote a letter to the vestry in which he made several direct attacks on the Commissary ' s conduct in regard to the Church. The Governor said that Blair was too lax in his church duties, that he had a layman to read the service and to conduct the burial services while he was present, and that he opposed the induction of the clergy. Q Blair answered all these charges easily and satisfactorily. As to the first charge, he said that he had a layman read his services in his church only when he was sick and could not read it himself, that a layman had conducted the burial service several times in his presence, simply because he happened to be passing and had stopped; that the people, on account of the scarcity of min- isters, could not wait for one to bury their dead and that the service was often read by laymen throughout the colony by law; and lastly, that he did not oppose the induction of ministers. Here again the old Commissary gained the advantage over Spotswood. And it was about this time that anonymous letters against Spotswood were sent to England, which later on caused his removal from office. Q, About August of the year 1716, Spotswood decided to take a party of gentlemen and rangers with him to cross the Blue Ridge Mountains and to explore the region beyond. He knew that England claimed the land through to the other ocean — wherever it was — and he thought that it was time they were asserting their claims and settling in that region. The French were build- mg forts all along the Great Lakes and the big rivers, and he saw that it was time for England to fortify her claims, if she wished to prevent a long and bloody war. Another reason for his desiring to cross these mountains was to k]D=. £lD=! 1:3 IL cat!

Some statements of the Indians had led him to believe this last. Blair heartily agreed with him in his plan of crossing the Ridge, which was then considered as a dangerous undertaking. Q, So one day in August, a party of the finest Virginia gentlemen set out from Williamsburg with the Governor in his coach. In this they traveled to his home at Germanna. Here the party was joined by the rangers, servants and pack-horses, and from here they proceeded on horseback. The journey was not made hurriedly. Each night they pitched camp at some comfortable spot and each time named it after a member of the cavalcade. They also had a long rest during the heat of the day, stopping to drink the many differ- ent wines — Burgundy, champagne and those brewed at Germanna by the settlement of German Protestants under Spotswood ' s care — and to eat the bountiful game and fish which they daily shot and caught, and to rest in the shade of the abundant trees along the way. All through this region game was very abundant, and the streams were full of fish. These lands were used by the Indians as hunting-grounds, but not as permanent settlements. Spots- wood saw no Indians on this trip, and this fact was used as a great inducement for settling the Valley. Q, In about twenty-six days after leaving Williamsburg, Spotswood and his cavalcade reached the summit of the Ridge, making the ascension near Swift Run Gap. They descended the other side, and having forded the Shen- andoah, they took possession of the land with great formality in the name of George I, King of England! After the usual drinking of healths in the dif- ferent wines, Spotswood buried a bottle in the bank of the river, which con- tained a slip of paper saying that the land had been taken by himself in the name of the king. This bottle is supposed to be still undiscovered. Q, Here they rested a while, and after having named the highest peak Mount George and the next highest Mount Spotswood, according to Fontaine, and Mount Alexander, according to Rev. Hugh Jones, the party returned to Williamsburg, having been away eight weeks, and having traveled in all four hundred and forty miles. Four years later, all the valley between Fredericksburg and the mountains was called Spotsylvania, in honor of the Lieutenant-Governor. Q It was from this trip that The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe came into existence. In the low, sandy plains very few of those articles had been used. But on a trip over the mountains, where the way would be rough, rocky and steep, it was necessary to protect the horses ' feet, so a large number of horseshoes were provided for the expedition. And on returning to the town.

The story goes that the Gov- ernor had asked the king to give these little mementoes to his men, but that His Majesty refused, sending only one, very handsomely jeweled, to His Excel- lency, the Lieutenant-Governor, and so the latter had to pay for his own souvenirs. Q, At this time, William and Mary College paid each year, on the fifth of November, two copies of Latin verse to the Governor as rent for their lands. That year, the praises of the Ultra-montane Expedition were written by Rev- erend Arthur Blackamore, Professor of the Grammar or Classic School, and were presented to Spotswood. G, During his administration, Spotswood did much for Williamsburg in almost every way. When he began his administration, there was one long street with the College at one end and the Capitol at the other. This thorough- fare was very rough and had several bad ditches in it. These the Governor had filled and the way made smoother. He also helped Blair collect money to rebuild the College, and at his death he left to this great institution his books and his mathematical instruments. Q, Spotswood was largely responsible for the grace and beauty of Bruton Parish Church. The old church had become too small to hold the crowds that were constantly in Williamsburg on account of the Burgesses, the Council and the Court all holding their meetings there. Blair presented to the people a plan of the church, as it now stands, which Spotswood had given. And the Governor, with the aid of Mr. Edmund Jenings, promised to give the bricks at fifteen shillings per thousand, when they saw that the contractors would probably take advantage of the people. They volunteered this aid on condi- tion that the people should do the rest. The church, that has lately been re- stored with all its strength and beauty of line, was built according to Spots- wood ' s plans. Q, During Spotswood ' s last year of administration, Williamsburg was made a city incorporate by the Colonial Council. John Holloway was the first mayor; John Clayton the first recorder; John Randolph, John Custis, James Bray, Archibald Blair, William Robertson and Thomas Jones the first alder- men. O, Spotswood had long been interested in making Virginia a vine-growing country. Through his working and under his care, a colony of German Prot- estants settled on the Rapidan, near where his home was later on, and started in the vine culture. This culture never grew into a large source of wealth to the Virginians, but some of the wines that Spotswood had with him on his Ultra-montane Expedition were made there on the Rapidan by his German LDDzicacJ .r£] Dn cD []=.

This colony has been described as consisting of about a baker ' s dozen of ruinous houses, which doesn ' t suggest that the colony was a pros- perous one. It was to this vicinity that Spotswood retired after his removal from office. Q Here it was that Colonel Byrd visited his old friend; often they sat in front of the huge open fire and recalled their experiences in war, talked of the Governor ' s iron works and vine culture. This is what Colonel Byrd himself wrote of part of one of their conversations: In the meantime I observ ' d my old Friend to be very Uxorious and exceedingly fond of his children. This was so opposite to the Maxims he us ' d to preach up before he was marryed, that I cou ' d not forbear rubbing up the Memory of them. But he gave a very good-natur ' d turn to his Change of Sentiments by alleging that whoever brings a poor Gentlewoman into so solitary a place, from all her Friends and Ac- quaintance, wou ' d be ungrateful not to use her and all that belongs to her with all possible Tenderness. From this we get a good picture of the honest and straightforward Governor in his home life, his tenderness for his children and loving care of hi s wife. G, To his home at Germanna Spotswood retired, after being the Lieutenant- Governor of Virginia for twelve years. Here he found iron ore on his land; and he at once set to work to build an iron foundry. He soon had not only one but four of these, and also an air furnace at Massaponnax, at which he made andirons, stovebacks and other useful articles. From the foundries he sent iron to England. He had a great interest in these works, and after his removal from office, he frequently rode around to inspect them. On account of this industry, he was called the Tubal Cain of Virginia. Q, But Spotswood ' s iron furnaces were not the first in Virginia. The very first were those built by the London Company at Falling Creek in 1619. These cost the Company one hundred thousand dollars and were under the care of John Berkeley. The iron which was turned out from these works was said to have been the best that existed in the world. Just before the Revolution, they belonged to Archibald Cary, but were destroyed by Tarleton during that war. Now all that remains of them is a ruined mill by the side of a pretty little fall. Q Still, there seems to be a difference of opinion concerning Spotswood ' s iron works. In Colonel Byrd ' s writings, he said that Spotswood corrected me a little there, by assuring me he was not only the first in this Country, but the first in North America, who had erected a regular Furnace. And Spots- wood told Colonel Byrd a great many things concerning his furnaces, his failures and successes, and he also promised to help the Colonel found his own furnace. r3P ' =nCn LfinzDcDczl LnticIliiJ =aP ' T]CF LfinncDt! =ap D= ticHn- =np ' =0[P rDtiiilDzl LTHJ U U Ld D=i c£] [ihllk] L cS tUk] Dd cD u u LatcDcz =nD=.i£|[]J z£]LcDt LnQD:£][]=! Q The two characteristics, obstinacy and freedom of speech, were sources of great trouble to Spotsvvood. On account of these traits he had many a quarrel with the Burgesses and Council, which finally resulted in his removal from office, Lieutenant-Governor Gooch being substituted in his stead. During his last years in office many complaints and anonymous letters were sent to England. Most of these complaints Spotsvvood answered readily, but, not- withstanding this fact, he was removed. CJ[ After his removal, he became Postmaster-General ; and in a short while the mail ran regularly between Philadelphia and Williamsburg, taking one week to cover the distance between these two cities. But even this was better than It had been some years before, when Philadelphia might have burnt down and the people of Williamsburg not have known it until three weeks later! Q, In 1740, England had an outbreak with Spain; and it was at this time that troops were taken from Virginia to aid those of the Mother Country for the first time. Spotsvvood was made general of this expedition against Cartha- gena in Central America. He paid a visit to Williamsburg, before setting out for Annapolis, and stayed at the Brafferton building of William and Mary College. After making his will here, he then proceeded to Annapolis, where he died before the embarkation of the troops. Colonel Gooch was appointed in his place. Q, A man eager for adventure, a cavalier and a great warrior was Spots- wood. Still, he was a churchman, loving the church with a devotion which has put his name high among the names of Virginia ' s great and good men, and which has given it the place it deserved in the canopied pew where we see it today. The Governor ' s pew has been restored and now on the top of the can- opy, in the place it had during his administration, we may read Alexander Spotswood. And again we see that noble name among those of the many governors of Virginia on the back of a chair in memory of them. Q, No praise is too high for him, or any love too great. Spotswood was one of Virginia ' s wisest governors, combining noble virtues, executive ability, pub- lic-spiritedness and shrewdness with a good heart, gentle breeding, courteous- ness and honesty. No governor of our State has ever surpassed him in ability. No one has done more for Virginia than he; and he undertook many things other governors left untouched. Q And it was largely due to his unconscious influence that he was able to write the Bishop of London that he had observed less Swearing and Pro- faneness, less Drunkenness, less uncharitable feuds and animositys and less Knaverys and Villanys in Virginia than in any part of the world where my Lot has been.

LD[bc£]DJ A (Sift nf titp (grrat Spirit Prize Story HIS little seven-year-old girl and her grandfather were great I I W chums, and every morning before breakfast she would patter I I into his room, climb up on his knee and demand a story, a -J I— I I M really-truly story, Papa-Gran ' . This morning it was to n L-l be a story about Indians, the kind that the grandfather had I I known when he was a young man surveying Minnesota before it became a state. Q Well, before I ever knew Mama-Gran ' , five years before the war, the government sent some young civil engineers out West to make maps of all the land out there that belonged to Uncle Sam. I was among the engineers, and the place where I was sent was Minnesota. It wasn ' t a state then, and in it lived three different tribes of Indians. Q, The only somebody I had to help me was a half-breed. That means a man whose mother was an Indian and his father a white man. He didn ' t know much English, so I had to learn the three different languages that the Indians spoke. Q, Here the tale was interrupted by the little girl, because Papa-Gran ' must count up to ten for her in Indian. He did, and a peal of joyful laughter was his reward for the guttural monosyllables. Q Sometimes we were a hundred miles from another white man, and often far away from any signs of trees. I remember one night in July, when we had pitched our tent in the midst of the prairie with nothing but the high grass around us for miles, and every now and then a little prairie dog ' s home; we were in a pretty dangerous fix, and badly scared for a time. That night there was a hundred-pound keg of gunpowder, belonging to the government, in the center of our tent; we were going to use it soon for blasting. When we had cooked supper we noticed that it was rather sultry. By the time we were ready for bed, ' way over in the west you could see the lightning flash every once in a while, and I began to feel right uneasy about that keg of gunpowder in our flimsy tent in the midst of a summer thunder-storm. Q, Soon the storm came, and all night long the thunder crashed around our tent, followed right away by the lightning. I can tell you we were mighty k]D3c£lDj klDniJOr. klDacDlli.

Q Next morning we got our breakfast of bacon and beans, and kept on up through the country. It was dark before we got to the Indian encampment, and all the men and women gathered ' round the camp-fire to see us. Q They seemed pleased when they found that I could speak their lan- guage, and the squaws were mighty tickled at the beads I gave them. The chief came up, stuck up his chin at me and grunted, which means, ' Want any dog? ' Q, But Papa-Gran ' , what did they want you to have the dog for? Q They eat dog, honey; they were just being polite. After I ' d given them all the presents I had for them, the squaws all sat down in a ring, with their funny little papooses strapped to their backs, sound asleep, and began to gamble for each other ' s gifts. The only play that Indian women have is gambling. A squaw will stake her last blanket, and never move a muscle when her brave beats her for losing it. Q, The men all sat ' round the fire and smoked, with every now and then a grunt or two. They took a lot of notice when I began working out some en- gineering figures. They had never seen a pencil before. There was one young warrior, a straight, fine-looking man, who came up and sat right beside me and never took his eyes off my work. G, I stayed there about a month, and we all got to be fine friends, ' specially the babies and I. They were funny little soft, brown bits of babyhood, and I made them paper dolls and little windmills, just like I do for you. G, One day there was a council of the tribe, and they were all sitting around the fire, dressed in their war paint, feathers and big red-and-black-striped blankets. I was sitting over in the corner with my back up against a tree. I took out my pencil and began to draw the young chief sitting yonder by the fire smoking his big soapstone pipe with all its bright-colored strings, shells and beads hanging from it. I hadn ' t gotten more than his headdress done when the young brave, who always watched so closely whenever I used my pencil, came over by me and looked over my shoulder. When he saw the picture of the chief, his eyes got all sparkly, as yours do when you see your Christmas tree, and he grunted some quick, glad-sounding little grunts; then he leaned over and took both the pencil and picture from me before I ' d half finished it. He bent over the paper, and held the pencil up in front of him while he said a short prayer to the Great Spirit — then q uick as a wink, he went to work and finished the picture a great deal better than I could have done it. You could almost see the smoke curl up from the thin lips of that picture, and when it was finished the whole council came over to see it, and made a big fuss over the FiP ' [ P ' =nc [Lc£]c=! f P ' c= -u Lf --tj u- LQDzit£]Qj LaD=.i£][!=! -U Lr- ' -lI Lr- z£]Ddc£IQ=! -J |_r- -iJ lj- pencil, just as if it had made the whole thing. The Princess Chennandowah, the bride of the young chieftain, took it and pinned it to the wall of her wig- wam, just like your mother sticks your picture all over the house. Q, After this I gave the Indian a lot of my paper and several pencils for his very own, and before long there were pictures of everybody lying ' round the encampment. See that one over yonder on the wall? Well, that ' s me — looked like me, too, when it was done. You see, dear, your old grandpa was a young man then. Q, Before we went back to the States, I gave the young Indian some money so he could go to school in Missouri where he could learn English, and get enough education to go off to New York to learn drawing. He took an Eng- lish name, and when I went to fight for the Confederacy, I lost sight of him. I often wonder whether he made anything of himself. He was certainly a natural-born artist. Q Here comes Mama-Gran ' to curl your hair. Tomorrow we ' ll have a beautiful story that I know, all about ' Sinbad, the Sailor. ' Q, All right, Papa-Gran ' , but this one was just wonderful. Thank you, sir, and don ' t you just dare to go downstairs to breakfast, unless you let me ride down on your back. Please, Papa-Gran ' , just wait a little minute till my curls are done!

Miss iOiirtlta iSiiiMr An Appreciation Q, If you should ask any girl who has been at Mary Baldwin during the last twen- ty years who had the greatest and most lasting influence over her, the reply would almost invariably be — Miss Martha Riddle. Q, As teacher of history. Miss Riddle has endeared herself to countless schoolgirls, and has been the inspiration of all who have studied under her. In her class-room, not only a thorough knowledge of the subject studied is gained, but the principles of every- day ethics, that go to the making of charac- ter, are acquired. We may despair of ever being as brilliant and learned as Miss Riddle, but more than one girl has left her class realizing that a little knowl- edge is a dangerous thing, and resolving to make the most of her opportunities. Q, Miss Riddle not only influences us by her teaching, but by her attractive personality and strong, forceful character. Her devotion and faithfulness to duty, her determination never to give up, win one ' s greatest respect and ad- miration. Broad-minded, always fair and just, her advice is sought on many questions; and she is never lacking in sympathy and interest. A true gentle- woman of the old Southern type, her unaffected dignity, rare courtesy and innate refinement are combined with the utmost simplicity of manner. Q Perhaps no one more truly reaches our hearts during our school life than Miss Riddle, and we may say, in all sincerity, that we are the wiser for having studied under her, the better for having known her and the stronger in char- acter for her influence.

ISrtrnsprrt HE ninth of September, 1909, saw M. B. S., enlivened by a coat of new paint, again welcoming the Baldwin family, much larger than ever before and with many new members. What fun it was to the old girls — greeting last year ' s friends, noting the changes and improvements in the buildings, wan- dering about and summing up the peculiarities of the new teachers, and hoping that every one would be a cinch. new girls, though somewhat bewildered by the numerous covered ways and steps, all declared that they liked it fine. With such a good time in view as only schoolgirls know how to have, they even forgot to be homesick, and wish they had never seen boarding school. Fairy tales and dime novels seemed tame when compared with the marvelous tales of adventure and even romance at M. B. S. that were poured into their ears from the lips of old girls who had a secret desire to see if they would bite. With forming new friend- ships and renewing old ones, most of our time was occupied for the first week or two, so that for a while we ignored our books altogether. The first peep that the new girls had into Baldwin society was when they attended the Y. W. C. A. reception, which was soon followed by a party given in the Gym by the Literary Society. Despite the fact that these were distinctly hen-parties, they were liked by all, and helped us all to become better acquainted. If you had listened to the conversation on the terrace one day early in October, you would have heard something like this: I think Petruchio was the most attractive. No, I liked the Jester best. Your supposition would naturally have been that they were making a study of the im- mortal William, but the truth was that the night before they had been to see the Taming of the Shrew, and they were only discussing which actor was the best. ; kitcQcz! kited] LgDd p]P LaCL p3pq]CF f P CF LdDziiJD: fSP CF kDucnt n]p [ r PS] n:]P T P kiEacDt n3P [? =3p ' =DC=j kiD-ncnrJ P ' t] [F n- j=3P T P fnp ][bc£]G=L Dtc£!ci -LiLr -L|Lj- :£l(Lc!][iz LrnJ ' -r- =aQ3c£]t P [ P Cn :]P 3P ap Cn Before we realized that we wanted one, we were given a holiday — Miss Baldwin ' s birthday. We made the most of our time, having gay rides and feasts that we all enjoy so much. y Surely you would have been tempted s to believe in ghosts and witches if you F had been in the Gym Hallowe ' en night. j Sheeted figures with clammy hands — the thought of that touch makes one shudder k s. — and spirited witches on broomsticks s i F k v greeted the guests at the door. Think of 1 the Y. W. C. A. believing in the super- V L,,,, natural ! They ushered us from one mys- ' terious chamber to another, ending with the burning cauldron where each girl B learned her fate. T Of course, every Baldwin girl has admired from a distance our little mountain, Betsy Bell, but how many have ever climbed it? In October, a crowd of us girls chaperoned by Fraulein Geiger — and there has never been a chaperone equal to her — performed the feat, for feat it was to climb it with suitcases filled with good things, queer- looking bundles of all sorts, a bottle of tea, and even a bucket of precious water. After losing the way several times, the top was finally reached, and then the fun began. Such preparations for dinner! and what did it matter if a dozen drank out of half a dozen cups, just so the grub went round? A thunder storm soon sent the girls hurrying down the mountain-side and a drizzling rain fell all during their four-mile walk. What sights they were when they at last reached shelter — but that was part of the fun ! November saw us all putting our white waists away in camphor balls and donning our woolen ones lest we should catch cold, and it impressed on our minds most vividly the fact that winter was already here. The day before Thanksgiving, the most popular resort was the bulletin board upon which was the express list. Boxes and still more boxes arrived, and in the lock-up, where they were being opened, shouts of delight could be heard mingled occasionally with one of anger, which told that some one was being deprived of all the canned goods and meats which forgetful friends had sent. The next day — Thanksgiving itself — was most exciting. What did we care if Miss Weimar came up and LnCbcDd piP f3p [p Lafcc£]c=l j=ap ' ■ P c= =gD=ic£]q=L p] P c [FjTp] P P -n P-, cD r ll-n t n£] D=. u u u u Lnn-rJI ILq r-n n-IIL r rJInJ uu u 1-1 LT La On P S] t nTnH P U r r nJ I Ln n-, pulled us away from the windows and told us once again, Put up that sash curtain, for had we not seen all the Kableites pass by in holiday attire, and had we not heard the inspiring music rendered by their band? We pass over the Thanksgiving dinner, for the thought of it makes us hungry. That night Polly of the Circus was the attraction, and all the girls who didn ' t lose their hearts to Polly lost them to the Minister. Before we realized it, the holidays had come, and the twenty-second of December saw us all bound for home, truly happy once more. After two perfectly bliss- ful weeks, we returned, and then we were truly sad once more. The best cure for homesickness is work, applied rather vigorously, so that accounts for the good lessons recited the first weeks after the holidays, which caused the teachers to wonder what was up. A decided hit was made by the tea which the Lit- erary Society gave in January to make money for the Annual. Everybody had plenty to eat, and the good cause was helped by the amount of forty dollars. The eighteenth of February was a red-letter day in the calendar of every Baldwin girl, for that night we went to see the U. Va. Dramatic Club play Turvyland. We had been looking forward with the greatest anticipation to this event, and the realization fully surpassed our expectations — it was cer- tainly worth being good for a month. From the dainty suffragette to the wash- erman, all were adorable, and that the music took with the Sem. girls, you have only to go to the practise hall to prove. Just as we were suffering from our first attack of spring fever. Miss Weimar gave us a holiday. Great excitement reigned that day, for there was a wed- ding at Hilltop mansion. The blushing bride never looked lovelier than when attired in her simple white gown with her veil of priceless lace (curtain). The groomsmen were particularly attractive in their semi-evening dress. There has never been a more impressive scene at Baldwin ' s. The monotony of school life was broken by the bazaar given by the Y. W. C. A. the second Saturday in March. There we visited booths of all sorts, where we bought everything to eat from stick candy to Presbyterian punch. We danced ourselves weary, and spent much time laughing at the droll cos- tumes worn. If the Y. W. C. A. made as much money as we had fun, its treasury was greatly swelled by the proceeds of the bazaar. A little later the members of the German Club enjoyed a most delightful dance. Good music, elaborate decorations, a delicious supper and handsome U]Qn pP pp pip j= P ' [n k]Qiii=!][iJ S kiQii(£lt!

We have written only of the affairs planned and carried out by the girls, but there have been many which, although they have not been as enjoyable as the others, have perhaps been of more benefit to us from an educational standpoint. The lectures, soirees and recitals have all been enjoyed, and those given by the girls have shown much progress in their work and have proven how much talent we have among us. And now that we have fin- ished another year, and our highest ambition — to reach home — is almost real- ized, we look back over it with a feeling akin to sad- ness. We have had jolly times together, though perhaps at the time we didn ' t realize what fun it was, and sometimes we have had our share of trouble. Now, as we say good-bye to dear old Baldwin ' s, some of us forever, some until next September, we take with us tender memories of the days that are gone, and of friends that have proved true.

Why, I don ' t even know what is meant by ' The Holy Roman Empire, ' though I wouldn ' t ask, What are Keats? ' Well, in the first place, I think your mother is cruel. Now, you must not say a word about mother; of course she knows best; and besides, you wouldn ' t want Mrs. George Park Van Court to shock people with her poor French. Oh, pshaw! Louise, what do I care about your French? You know mother thinks we imagine we are in love, but that we will both soon recover when we are separated, so I have promised her to try to be heart-whole until I return from school, a perfectly finished young lady, able to play the Flower Song on the piano and to paint calendars and place cards. I believe you are behind these plans to go packing off to a finishing school to eat candy and spoil your complexion and to read French novels and alienate your love from America and her, people, and chiefly myself. Now, don ' t be foolish; you know I can ' t bear French novels, but mother said — Oh! I know what your mother said. We must be separated; I am not to call on you, or write to you, or send you flowers, or — Yes, all those horrid things and a score more. I begged her not to be so exacting, but it was no use. Did you? I am glad you care that much. For an answer to this he received a look which was better than words. I am sorry, but you must go now, for I have my packing to do. Neither you nor your mother need think I am not going to see and talk to you, for I most certainly am, and still I will not break our promises. Yes, there is the telephone, but as we are not allowed to correspond, I know we are not to use it. Then the two said good-bye with many promises on both sides. As soon as Miss Louise Hamilton heard the street door close, she ran to the drawing- room window to wave a last farewell and then sat down, moved by conflicting emotions — sorrow at her fate and curiosity to know how George would man- JzGDziiJnJ k]t,r DJ = [? l] D= LaGncDn kit Jt klLc D: kltdlD: T P CF fnp □ fcnac Gtic£]D=L □ BcDd.

She could not think what he meant, still George always kept his word, so she went off to her packing feeling much better. George hastened to his studio, lighted his pipe, turned a picture around in disgust, kicked at an easel and finally seated himself in a big chair, prepared to think. When he made his boast of seeing his sweetheart and talking with her, he had not an idea of how he would do it, but he was determined to keep his word. I can ' t wait until school is out before I see her. Mrs. Hamilton is a very sweet and sensible little lady, but she is certainly mistaken about our love affair. The very idea of my not being sure I am in love with Louise! Why, she is the only girl in the world for me! Let me see; how shall I manage it? It would not do to be a butler, or baker, or cook, for I would not get to see her that way. After these thoughts had passed through his brain, he sat for a while looking intently at every object in the room as if searching each for an inspiration. Finally his glance fell upon a miniature of Miss Martha Lancaster. Miss Martha was an old flame of Uncle Chan ' s and a sister to Miss Ma- tilda Lancaster. I have it! I will paint her portrait for the school; they always have a lot of family pictures in schools of that sort. But what is the use? That would be studio work, and I wouldn ' t get into the school even to hang it. No, that won ' t do. Let me see. Miss Martha is dead; a memorial will be the thing! Then his eye fell on the half-finished frescoes of his studio. Oh! I have it, if I can get Uncle Chandler to play the hypocrite! No sooner said than the pipe was thrown down and the young artist hurried off to see his jolly old uncle. That ' s all very well, my boy, but I had only a slight acquaintance with the lady, though I have a miniature of her — I believe it is in your studio now. I took her to a Colonial Ball one night; she certainly was a pretty girl, but she went abroad the next day and I never saw her again. I believe she died in Naples. Never mind that. Uncle Chan, I can manufacture the artistic side of it. That night at the ball you remained in the conservatory during the intermission (or did you have intermissions in those days?). You held her fan — it was a broad white one made of ostrich tips, and you fanned and fanned her until she was nearly frozen, but too polite to ask you to stop. She gave you a rose and told you about her expected trip and how she would miss all her old friends — and one new one. And maybe she promised you a post-card, but I hope you were spared that. Anyway she went abroad, and did one of the most E E =n IP =[][]= k]ni]can=l f3P ' =Qtn p]p [n =DtL£lD= =ap G= i=aP ' T]Cn =ap ' =i]CF -U|j- -iJLr- L£]tc£][: zaGncDoJ -u|j- -jlj- poetic things on earth, according to Edgar Allan Poe — died. I am glad I am an artist instead of a poet. Well, you have remained a bachelor all your life and now you wish to place a memorial to her in the school. Don ' t you see it all? Well, I confess you have added the artistic touches, all right. I almost wish it were true. But it sounds rather far-fetched, and I am afraid Miss Matilda may see through it. I love you, my boy, and I am sure I shall love your little sweetheart, so I will write the letter and arrange matters with Miss Matilda. Thank you. Uncle Chan, you are always good! George then left to complete his plans, and Uncle Chan sat for quite a while in a reminiscent mood. Louise sat in her room at Miss Lancaster ' s School for Young Ladies. To tell the truth, she had a severe case of ennui. There was a box of bon-bons on the window seat and a huge bunch of violets on the table, but as neither bore George ' s card, the candy had no taste and the flowers no fragrance. Just then a head was thrust in the door. Louise! Louise! have you heard about the memorial? The best-looking fellow you ever saw! For goodness ' sake — what are you talking about? Has some one donated a good-looking young man as a memorial? Of course not, but haven ' t you heard about it? You don ' t look interested, so I won ' t waste my story on you. Come back here, Jane, and eat some candy and tell me about it. My, this is good! No, I can ' t possibly eat any more now. Well, you know Miss Matilda had a sister Martha, who died when she was a young lady, and it seems there was some gentleman in love with her, and he has never married, and he is having the East Room frescoed as a memorial to her. Isn ' t it just lovely? But I forgot to tell you about the painter. He is a rising young artist, the old gentleman ' s nephew. I had a peep at him a while ago. Oh, yes! he told Miss Purnell to bring the whole art class in to see his work, and she is going to take us tomorrow. My, I am all out of breath! I should think you would be. Stop leaning on that door and come over here and sit down. No, I can ' t stay; I must go tell the other girls. The next day the girls went to see the artist at work. Miss Purnell ushered them into the big East Room where already part of the work was finished. There at the lower end of the room stood the artist, palette in hand, awaiting his visitors. His eyes swiftly shifted from one face to the other in search of Louise, who was the last one to come in. She stood still, but onlv for a mo- k][Lc£]t! kiticJ SE kiDDcDti -ULr -LjLr- JzaLcaoJ LaGncDt f3[?

The beauti- ful scenes and figures were admired, and then the artist suggested that each girl should add one touch of the brush to his work. When Louise ' s turn came, she and George (for it was really he) had time for a little conversation, inter- rupted several times by Miss Purnell asking her to hurry. A few days afterwards, Mrs. Hamilton sat in her room reading a letter from her daughter. Having read it a second time, she folded it and sat think- mg. Bless those two sweet children; it does seem a shame to keep them apart when they don ' t seem to mind going to any amount of trouble to see each other. I believe theirs is real love and not a childish fancy. I don ' t see how he thought it all out — and dear Louise, as true as ever. I can ' t forget that I was young once myself, and that Jack Hamilton gave up a year ' s travel so he could be near me. Well, I don ' t think such obedience and honesty on her part, and such determination and ingenuity on his should go unrewarded. So I shall allow him the same privileges which her other friends enjoy. Soon after Louise and George were married, he painted a beautiful picture of Miss Martha Lancaster by the aid of the miniature and Uncle Chan ' s de- scription of how she looked that night. It was always a source of amusement to the young couple to watch Uncle Chan gazing at the picture, seemingly as happy in his manufactured romance as they were in their real one.

Just three days ago I left home, and here I am at boarding-school. I haven ' t been homesick at all, so far, and am glad too, for the whole family predicted that I would be, and didn ' t want me to come until I was older. I have decided to keep a diary of all my good times so I can read it when I get old. I felt right funny when I got here last night. A little col- ored girl named Chaney came to the door and took me into Miss Baldwin ' s office. Miss Baldwin kissed me as if she had known me all my life, and said she thought I was mighty brave to come off to school when I was so little — I am the youngest girl in school. She then told Chaney to take me to my room in Brick House. Chaney is the funniest little girl I ever saw. She talks all the time and told me all the younger girls were put on the third floor of Brick House and that my room was right over Miss Mary Julia ' s. There are two other girls in my room and they are dears. They talked lots last night and laughed at me when I told them about the good times I have at home on the ranch. They seem to think that every one from Texas carries pistols, and were very much surprised at me. I was wakened this morning by the rising bell and heard a most peculiar shuffling noise. I crept to the door and peeped out, and there was the funniest old colored man, walking up and down, ringing the bell as hard as he could. The girls call him Uncle Chess and he be- longed to Miss Baldwin ' s father, and she keeps him because he is so devoted to her. We had breakfast about eight o ' clock. The dining-room is awfull y big and at one end is a long table. Miss Agnes McClung sits at one end of it and the housekeeper (I ' ve forgotten her name) at the other. They have all sorts of meat on this table, especially hams, and the waiters serve the other tables from it. After breakfast, one of the girls showed me around the place. It IS beautiful from the front. The grounds are covered with flowers — gera- niums, pinks, phlox and salvia, and on each side of the walk is a big fountain. Miss Baldwin was in the yard talking to the gardener about the flowers. She was carrying a parrot on her hand and Elizabeth says that she always takes the parrot with her. She must love pets, and birds especially, for the porch of Main Building is hung from one end to the other with cages — canaries and all sorts of birds are in them. One of the parrots scared me half to death by screaming, Walk in! I went to classes all morning. The class-rooms are Latent! f p ' =acn _nn_, Jlr pp j= P ' =i] ri-,r-n 0 Ir- LP n3P c=j LDDDcDCrl n]P ' ki[Lc£l i=3P 31 -ULr ' -LlLx- L£]D=ii£l[iJ -U|j- -lJLl- =£]Diit£lG= LnDD[£l[]=! in the funniest little building. It used to be a bowling alley, but the girls didn ' t use it much so it was divided into class-rooms. It is rather pretty from the outside for it is covered over with vines, but it is rather crowded inside. October 10th. Well, I ' ve had lots of fun today. I got so tired of being kept in here that I couldn ' t stand it any longer, so I ran off again and went to the Fair Grounds. This is the third time now, and I have never been caught. There is a lovely little lake out there, and I go in wading and slip back here while Miss Baldwin is out for her drive. The funniest thing hap- pened last night. Mr. Kidwell (the night watchman) forgot to chain Miss Baldwin ' s big dog, Leo, and Miss Crawford came in late from some party with her lover and Leo almost tore Rim to pieces. Miss Crawford ran into the house and the man jumped the fence. Leo is very fierce at night and won ' t allow a strange man on the place. October 1 7th. I was just starting to make another trip to the Fair Grounds today when Miss Baldwin sent for me. She said she had known all along about my going, and had made Uncle Chess follow and see that nothing harmed me. She said she knew just how I felt, being used to such a free life, but she thought that I had been here long enough to be used to staying in. She certainly is dear. I had to go to office this morning for not studying and for being so noisy. I really don ' t mind going much for it ' s lots of fun. All sorts of people come in to see Miss Baldwin while we are there, and then she doesn ' t give us very hard tasks. She talks so sweetly to us after it ' s over, and this morning she kissed me and got me some oranges out of a closet in the corner. I stayed and talked to her for a long time and she told me the funniest story about herself and Miss Agnes. It seems that after the war they were very poor. They economized in every way to save as much as possible for the school, and with this idea in view, they decided to paint the parlor themselves. Miss Baldwin got up on a step-ladder and was painting away when she lost her balance and fell off. The paint fell, too, and got all over her dress. She went upstairs and put on her other dress (she had only two) but as she had only one pair of shoes, she had to keep them on after trying to clean them with benzine. That night was prayer-meeting night and, as usual, she and Miss Agnes went together. Soon after they got there. Miss Agnes began to look around and wonder what the curious odor was (the mixture of leather, paint and benzine must have smelled curious, sure enough). When glancing around her eyes fell on Mr. Wayt, a druggist here in Staunton, and turning to Miss Baldwin, Miss Agnes indignantly said, I wish Howard Wayt would leave his drugs at home when he comes to prayer-meeting. Miss Baldwin thinks this is the funniest joke. She told me some other stories, too, but I haven ' t time to write them now.

I haven ' t been able to write in my diary for a long time, but there ' s been very little to write about. We had lots of fun Thanks- giving and the nicest things to eat. Some of us sent Chaney down street to get some things, and we had a regular feast Thanksgiving night. Last week Miss Baldwin ' s favorite parrot died (the one she carried around with her all the time) and she was so distressed. I went down to the office one morning, and there she sat with the bird on a pillow in her lap, and Dr. Wayt was standing there saying, A very sick bird. Miss Baldwin, a very sick bird, and Miss Baldwin was crying as though her heart would break. Tomorrow is Christmas, and we have holiday. The girls who live near here are going home, but of course I can ' t, because I live too far away. I don ' t mind staying, though, because Miss Baldwin is so lovely to us. She took two of us out driving with her this morning, and I had to hold her little dog on my lap the whole way. April 23d. I ' ve been studying hard since Christmas so haven ' t had time to write in my diary. We ' re preparing for examination now. Last night we had a regular feast. My roommates and I got a ham-bone (all of us try to get them, and speak for them before the ham ' s half gone) and with a plate full of rolls, took it to our room — got a lot off of it. I had two helpings of dessert today at dinner. You can have it till it gives out, and I generally eat so slow it gives out before I get more, but today I hurried. We ' re all begin- ning to bleach our hands now for Commencement. They would make a hor- rible contrast to our arms if we didn ' t, but it ' s mighty disagreeable to wear gloves all the time. I lost my sunbonnet today. I mustn ' t forget to get an- other, for I can ' t leave the house without it or my complexion will be ruined. The girls have such pretty sunbonnets this year. They ' re made out of dark green cambric, stiffened with pasteboard, and some of the girls look lovely in them. May IOth. I finished my last examination today. There were lots of girls in it, and we had a time bringing the tables down to the Gym. Each girl has to have one. The exam started at nine o ' clock and we didn ' t finish till almost six, stopping only long enough for dinner. The girls were dear about writing notes of sympathy, and I got one or two every time the door opened. I passed on all of my examinations and Miss Baldwin said she was proud of me. May 24th. Commencement is over and I ' m going home in the morning. I want to write all about it in here so I can look back on it. Miss Baldwin had us in her office Sunday afternoon to teach us our Sunday-School lesson for the last time, and then talked to us so beautifully about going away. She has had all of us younger girls every Sunday this year teaching us our next week ' s lesson, and after that telling us stories.

Lots of the girls left this afternoon and you never saw such weeping and kissing. Tonight Miss Baldwin had three other girls and me in her room for prayers; she has had us several times this year, and we always feel very much honored. She makes me feel as if I would never do anything wrong again, and her pray- ers are perfectly beautiful. I never shall forget that last night in her room, and I ' m going to try and see if I can ' t grow up to be a woman just like her. M. B.

[P TD [P CP =Dpcg[p LdDucDgJ P- LafccD [F Ir- CF n- p]p p]P ' =acF| E La[L[£]:J cij A irpant of tl)p aat LITTLE old lady, dressed m soft black, sits by an open fire in a cozy and comfortable living-room. The waning glow of a winter ' s sun is lighting up her silver hair. Her attitude is that of a dreamer, and indeed, her thoughts have gone back to her girlhood days. In her hand there lies a very ancient cameo ring of curious workmanship. Upon the strata-like stone are exquisitely carved in profile the portraits of a man and a woman of Greek type. The gray-white faces gleam with life-like brilliancy against a background of darker material. Q, As she looks at the ring she remembers the day it was sen t to her, a fam- ily heirloom given, long ago, to one of her name by a wealthy Greek, as a mark of special favor. As she gazes upon the pure countenance of the maiden, carved there in stone, the features seem to grow tense and then relax, as though awaking from a long sleep. Almost instantly she hears a faint, sweet voice, which comes seemingly from the tiny head upon her ring: If you wish, I will tell you my history, and a story of far-away Greece. Without waiting for her assent, the voice continues: Near Athens, on the shore of the Egean Sea, there lived a maiden called Hermione. Almost an orphan, for she had no mother, and her father spent most of his time in Athens, she lived a quiet, secluded life, attended by her servants and teacher. Content to watch the shifting clouds and the ever-changing sea, dotted here and there by sails, she dwelt there in ignorance of the world and its passions. She had never really experienced love or hate, in the deeper sense of the words. She considered every living creature her friend. Q, Hermione was accustomed to spend a part of every day alone upon the shore near her home. One day, as she walked meditatively along, she sud- denly looked up and encountered the gaze of an unknown person. She thought he was at least a messenger of the gods, on account of his youth, manly beauty and physique. In one hand he held a colored stone, partially carved, and in the other a small pointed instrument. As she approached, he went toward her asking who she was and whence she came. She talked to him without the least embarrassment for a few moments and then went on her way. This was their first meeting. Their acquaintance gradually deepened and ripened into kitjidat e LdOd paCP Tap Id Dm f P k]t pap f P LdGd p]P t p]p pp i P LdDd P t pP tot P ' =IIC=j -nn-,rJ1n- = PS][n _n rU JH n_ n__nn pip r P izDci cBnA c£ltl Jin d3D=)i=aDJ p [ :£lfcc£]l P Cq n n n n k]G=ic£]tL ■f PS]Cn r P =ap c=r ■ P c=r something more than mere friendship. He told her of his past life, of his am- bitions and plans for the future. He showed her how he carved the tiny fig- ures m relief upon the stones, and even gave her lessons in the art. She learned quickly and soon became quite proficient. Q, One day Hermione did not come to their trysting-place, and disconso- lately he wandered up and down. She did not appear for several days. As he could think of no one else, he carved the profile of her face upon a bit of stone. As an after-thought, he cut out his own features just behind hers, thus forming a double background for her portrait. Little did he dream how very far back he would appear in the background of her life ' s picture. Finally she came — not joyfully and blithely, as was her custom, but sorrowfully, with downcast eyes. She told him that her father had returned from Athens, bring- ing the news of her betrothal to the son of an old friend. She told him, too, that in a few weeks, she would leave, never to return to this home of her child- hood. Then they both realized, as never before, what each meant to the other, and what a blank the future seemed in view of their separation. For a few moments both were wrapped in thought, and then, breaking the silence, she told him that neither fate nor her father ' s will could be turned aside. How- ever, she suggested that they should make the best of these few remaining weeks. He nodded sadly, for he, too, knew that the fates were unchangeable. Ah, those last glorious hours together, how quickly they slipped by! Q, When the day of parting came, they said farewell without murmuring over their lot, without even expressing their wish that a romance scarcely begun be allowed to continue. And when he said good-bye, he gave her the cameo, which he had made into a ring, asking her to keep and cherish it for his sake. I am that likeness of Hermione. Q, The voice stopped. With a stare the little old lady straightened up in her easy chair and realized that it was only A Dream of the Past.

I. If Scott 01 Dickens were only here. Or even our friend, Mr. William Shakespeare — To tell you in lines that rhyme at the end Of rats and puffs and curls that wont bend! II. But this is my tale, so lend me thine ears. And hear what has happened in only two years. In that little time our heads have outgrown The size of our bodies — a fact that ' s well known. III. We wore rats big as bolsters, all striving to look Like monsters whose pictures we see in a book. They bulged at the sides with the width of a yard. Some slicked them with soap, and others used lard. IV. But the sides were not in it with what came behind- The weight nearly caused me the loss of my mind; Rats stuffed in puffs, psyches large, and some smal Curls in great numbers around them did fall. V. Things reached a climax — I feared civil strife. Men wouldn ' t have us — no thought of a wife When hair was par value and almost each girl Would go without lunch just to buy a new curl. p]P ' =ntn f=3P ' =aCn -nn-,r-nn= i=3P ' =acFj LdDdcQoJ k]lic£lD=l VI. But no! ' way in Paris some hair-dresser rose, And said on account of the size of her nose The style she would change to the other extreme — Which caused many faces around her to beam. VII. Out went the news to the ends of the world. And wrote itself deep in the heart of each girl. Off came the puffs and the psyche soon came. Whil e curls fell like rain from both maiden and dame. VIII. Then straight to the hair-dressers they flew, to invest In switches and braids, the new fashion to test. Both smearing and swathing were shortly the rage Of every dear woman, no matter the age. IX. Schools let out early and business men massed On corners, to watch the new style as it passed; Their comments, t is true, were not wise or polite. They ' d say just too loud, Ain ' t that girl there a sight? X. But hearken, ye maids, while the fashion is in. And use your best efforts a husband to win ; As soon as it changes, your chances are few.

AN M. B. S. GIRL chanced to lay eyes on a young maiden wearing a huge pompadour — the season ' s latest style. She went straightway to her room, and after increasing the size of her rat, she turned to her roommates and said, Was hers any bigger than mine? Oh, much bigger than that! ' they cried. How about this, then? she anxiously asked, patting and puffing her hair, which was spread out over a still larger rat. Nay, dear, they re- plied, if you puff until no hair is left, yours would not be so large. Then the silly girl puffed and puffed and kept on putting in more rat until she had pulled all her hair out. II. A CERTAIN GIRL, who wore a braid to conceal her baldness, was out walking one day, when a sudden gust of wind carried away her braid. As this showed her bald spot, her friends all laughed at the odd figure she made, but she — far from being angry — laughed as heartily as they. Is it any won- der, she asked, that another woman ' s hair doesn ' t stay on my head, when even my own wouldn ' t do it? III. A MAN and a suffragette were once arguing together about which sex had the greater power. The former called the attention of the woman to a monument on which was sculptured a man protecting a woman. That proves nothing, answered the suffragette, for if a woman had been the sculptor, she would have made the woman protecting the man. IV. A GIRL was one day entertaining a lot of friends in her room with an ac- count of her own popularity when at home. I have all the boys in town on my string, said she. That ' s a fact, and if we were there I could show you some of the beautiful presents given me by the smitten ones. What need is there to go home for presents? answered a friend. Just imagine you are there now and show us some of them. kiGiicDt kilLcat!

(5i|p ManimQ After A black wall splotched with red- The silence of the dead — And wild blue lights that flare And die — My body numb and chilled, The air around all filled With noiseless shapes that flit And fly. A clammy, icy hand My yielding throat has spanned. And ghastly forms sit heavy on My chest — I can not breathe or move Or stir those shapes above — Those living shapes of sin all Unconfessed. Again the blue light flares, A trumpet shrieks and blares, And once again a silence falls Around ; And now the light burns red. With flesh the fire is fed From bloody corpses scattered On the ground. At length I raise my eyes, And there before me lies Nothing but the foot of my Own bed. Again a sound I hear But not a sound to fear — ' Tis the ringing of the breakfast bell Instead. 5 RESOLVED: So it ' s no more feasts for mine — And nothing in that line — When I feast hereafter it will be Broad Day. The girl that says to me, Let ' s have a midnight spree, Will get for answer, a most Decided Nay. NANCY COOPER.

State your concept of a P. C. before and after attaining that dignity. Ans. — During my first year at Mary Baldwin I looked with scorn upon f P ' i _nrUrJ1 n- i P tPj c E LrnJi-n L£][ljd=! -U|j---L|Lr- LaQncQDJ the humble privileged girl. From the depths of my heart 1 pitied her, because of her seeming obedience to every rule, and her constant fear of losing my privileges. At the beginning of my second year, I very indifferently received the honor of being made a P. C. But then my good times began, and I realized that life without privileges is not worth living. Indeed, so bent am I upon living up to my reputation as a P. C. and getting every possible joy (allowed or forbidden) out of life, that the two operations take up all my time, and leave me no leisure for studying. Kimrrirka Earle Melon, a gay young sport A maiden named Brooke did court. Her friends they insisted Till Parson Teague twisted The knot which led them to port. Kate, a sassy young flirt. Invariably holds up her skirt; To Miss Weimar one day She said, Let ' s to the play, From that time she ain ' t been so pert. Miss Booth was a maiden quite bright. Who tried to elope in the night; But her roommates caught on. And till early dawn. They locked her in the closet so tight. There was a young lady named Brooke, Who wanted to be a good cook. So to Baldwin ' s she came. But found it in vain. As her cooking utensils they took. Hippo, a maiden so sweet. Is constantly hiding her feet. j-oD-, jqJ IE kiDzicacJ. s FiP k][L kiti ■pCP i£][bi cBnA TOP Id On T P kit T P kCb pP LLdDd [p]P kt pip kt p P kti pip kt n p kt T P kt n P kt fnp kPn cQck cDdI. cDck cQck [ £]ck [Jck £Iik cad cDci =£|G:d P P = P zDt = P :£]fc [P Jt P =3 [Id P £]Cb cDqJ n- ' Lr ' -Ui-n r£][]J cQdJ n- lj- -ij i-n [=D Cb cQ EHlk] Gn c£l t! pP ' Cn La[Lc£][ii -ULr -JLr- P ' =ac=j L£][Lc£]t Her skirts sweep the ground In efforts to drown Their noise as she walks down the street.

M. KIVLIGHAN M. L. HOLT FRANK T. HOLT WHITE STAR MILLS MANUFACTURERS OF HIGH-GRADE FLOURS We guarantee every sack and barrel of our flour to be up to the standard we have established on our goods. The question, How can we, with impunity, do this? is easily answered as follows: We are located m the heart of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, where the wheat is the peer of any grown in the Union. We have one of the BEST EQUIPPED MILLING PROPERTIES IN THE SOUTH, manned only by those who know how to mill in the most careful and skilled manner. Why do you buy cheap flour, made from sprouted and damaged wheat, when, for a few cents per barrel more, you can secure a flour that will give your trade absolute satisfaction ?
