bellowed, “Sail, ho?’ 7 At once the captain put the glass to her eye and muttered, “Pirates, as I live.” “All hands on deck.” was the next command. But too late, the pirates were upon us and over our rail they clambered, But brave Captain Styles never left the spot. She knocked them right and left until they retreated to their ships, but left three of their gang wounded on our deck. On looking closer, we recognized them as Robert, Vern, and Howard. They were set free for the sake of the class of “18.” Enroute we were entertained by troop singers. The leading ones were Laura, Agnes, and Norma. After many days of sailing, we arrived at Liverpool. On the dock was an old, dilapidated Ford, which had a sign on it, “Jitney bus.” In the front seat sat Dorothy Smith. On going a little further up the street on a corner we saw Wilabelle playing a grind organ, while Gladys Younglove, dressed as a monkey, collected the pennies. We went into a movie owned by Edith Bradley and Edith Lambert, and saw the great American drama, “The Egg Masters,” and I applauded when the star appeared—my old friend Geor¬ gia West. We returned on the “Rondo” after a delightful tour of Europe—united in our praise of the old class of ’18. Harold McKee. PAGE TWENTY-FIVE Costly Buns. A man who had purchased some currant buns at a bakery was distressed on starting to eat one to find it contained a fly. Returning to the bakery, he made an indignant com¬ plaint, demanding another bun in place of the inhabited one. “I’m sorry, Sir,” said the salesman, “I can’t give you another bun, but if you will bring back the fly, I will exchange it for a currant.” illlllllllllllllllllllllllilllii=lililiiillllllllllllllllillliill Characteristics of a Man. A famous woman novelist was once asked why she had not married, to which she replied, “I have three things about the house, that represent so closely the characteristics of a man that I don’t want anymore of him.” “What do you mean?” was asked. ‘‘Well,” replied she, “I’ve got a dog that growls all morning, a parrot that swears all afternoon, and a cat that stays out all night.”
