That place that does Contain my books, the best companions, is To me a lorions court, where hourly I Converse with the old sages and philosophers. And sometimes for variety confer With kings and emperors and weigh their counsels; Calling their victories, if unjustly got. into a strict account; and in my fancy. Deface their ill-planned statues. Can then Part with such constant pleasures to embrace Cncertain vanities? Yo; be it your care To augment a heap of wealth; it shall be mine To increase in knowledge. Lights there, for my study! John Fletcher IN APPRECIATION OF THE HIGH IDEALS THE EXCELLENT SCHOLARSHIP THE TRUE FRIENDSHIPS THE PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP OF MISS CARSE THE HIGH STANDARDS OF THE FACULTY ENJOYED AT NORTHROP COLLEGIATE SCHOOL THIS PAGE IS GIVEN BY A MOTHER WHOSE ENTHUSIASM FOR AND DEVOTION TO THE SCHOOL HAS INCREASED WITH EACH OF THE LAST THIRTEEN YEARS Mary Momson Prciudrnl of tho League ff hat e'er sir did was done ttilh to much rase In her alone 'tuns natural to flense.

Victoria Mkrcf.r of Allllliie from thr frnun of hirr head to the ndr of hrr foot thr i all mirth. THE SENIORS First in the rank of honor comes Mary .Morison, who although one of the babies of the class, holds the coveted position of President of the League, which position everyone agrees she has filled admirably. Perhaps she is n Lit too tender-hearted with offenders against the rules liter methods having been considered ineffective by her severer classmates! but we easily forgive her because she is really so good Matured, even when actually writhing under the taunts of her classmates. Her dramatic record is an i nviable one, and would not all of us just love to be so unsjlfconscious. Here's to you, Peter, good luck! Next in rank comes Nancy Van Slyke. our class president. No one deserves this honor more than Nancy, who has Itcen at Northrop since kindergarten days. Her mild pleadings for good behavior on the part of her flighty charges is not always heeded, sad to say. What study period would In complete if Nancy did not send even our most earnest students into gales of laughter by her witticisms? We cannot do better as a parting gift than to add to her own. our prayers 3nd many assurances that she will surely see the gates of Vassar” next year. We must continue by naming the last of the fa nous trio. Nancy. Mary and Caroline. One of Cal’s chief claims to notoriety is her undy ing enthusiasm for entertainments of all kinds, and her ability to make them a success. It has often Ixx-n a hard pull to make the seniors wake up to the fact that whatever is to Iw given is only a week off and everything must be arranged immediately. If not engaged in work like this. Cal either lias her nose in a math book, doing next week’s assignment, or is sitting on the radiator waiting for someone to hand her her coat ami drag her outdoors. Never mind. Cal. we all envy your ability to be lazy successfully. Victoria has our ceaseless admiration !� ecnusc of her unfailing cheerfulness. No matter what the conditions she always has a smile and something funny to say. even at the end of the day, when she is usually falling asleep. At athletics she shines, especially when strength counts, of which she has a marvelous amount. In fart there is hardly anything Vick won’t attempt to do at least once. Oh. yes. she has faults, (her abruptness scares everyone to death) hut is there anyone, even in our class, who hasn’t? How Charlotte can assimilate the number of books that she docs, and carry about six subjects will always be a cause for much discussion among us. There seems to !«• hardly a piece of literature one can name which she has not read, and, oh. her enthusiasm! She nlwuys is doing some piece of work that most of us dread to think of. and as eager about it «s a busy her. Incidentally the end justifies the means, for Charlotte’s marks are not to be sneezed at. I«el us hope that in the future she will Ik able to condense her supply of know ledge, so that her themes will not exceed twenty pages. One thing wc all admire about Thorny is her poise in social circles and for that matter everywhere. When the day comes that we appear to as good advantage as she. wc may indeed feel pleased with ourselves. I’a.cr Tttdve Another of our old standby i Mary A, this year's Taller co-editor. This good old publication would probably be very thin and measly if Mary had not collected the necessary funds by unwearied effort. Whenever it has l cen necessary for really serious thinking. Mary has put us on the right track with sensible ideas and opinions. Such marvelous concentration and determination as she possesses we are sure will bring her great success hereafter. Catherine is the artist-in-chief of our group, and what would we have done without her? She is not only responsible for most of the decorating in this book but also has contributed many charming art works for preceding Tatlcrs and school entertainments. Catherine is one of our few quiet and un-abtrusive members, but a true friend in need, and one whose good advice will Ik- greatly missed. We all wish her the ! est of luck, and hope that in the future her artistic aspirations will materialize and bring her fame We all probably have some pet hobhv, but not many aspire to one so deep as astronomy. Leone's absorbing interest. She always is reading some lengthy treatise on this subject. In fact her mind seems to In most adept at things mathematical, which fact drives our lion mathematicians to distraction. If you continue along the paths of science. I .cone, and succeed in finding anyone who can answer your thousands of questions. some day you will iiecome. mayhap, a second Galileo. On Carol, for one, we depend for equestrian honors. Which of us does not think of Carol and riding at the same time? Incidentally her numerous ribbons ami cups make an enviable display. But ibis is only one of the ways in which she has obtained honors. The other is tardiness. Many times have we contemplated purchasing a boisterous alarm clock to present to her, hut fortunately for Carol, the very next day she arrives on time. Even though it is sometimes annoying we really all envy much her carefree manner. And here is to our greatest athletic enthusiast, Nancy Mor-ison! The seniors probably would have had to be counted out of sports this year if Nancy had not by scolding, and intreating roused up enough candidates for the different games from our meagre supply. She herself exc Is in almost every conceivable sport and is a jolly (you ought to hear her remarkable laugh I nice all ’round girl. Man Louise Sudduth is. like Nancy, a great athlrt-r. Where should we Ire if Cheesey had not been on our team? In addition to her athletic ability she has the sunniest disposition imaginable. Her marvelous smile has calmed many of us when we thought ourselves nervous wrecks. Cheesey can do everything so well that we are depending on her to help greatly in spreading abroad the name of the class. Betty is the most demure and petite member of the class. Her feet are truly “like little mice.” Although very reserved Betty is always happy and cheerful, even after a hard history test. We can lie most sure that Betty will get on in the world, if dispositions count for anything. Lust hut certainly not least is Helen. She has been with us since first grade days, and is the other successful co-editor of the Taller. A great argurr is Holm and, oh! the number of proofs she demands! But nevertheless she causes no end of fun with these long discussions. We know that whatever Holm fmallv decide to do will he completed most successfully.

Page T hirly CALENDAR SEPTEMBER: Friday, I he fourteenth, school opens, and we arc all re-united within the walls of our “Alina Mater.” OCTOBER: We provide amusement for llir new girls at our annual Old Girls’ Party for the New, and have a lot of fun doing it. In the middle of the month we are privileged to watch and participate in our Horse Show, a very successful one this year, attended with far fewer “Prince of Waleses” than usual. Toward the end of the month we both see and hear (that sounds like a vitaphonc) the first of Miss Tillisch’s scries of interesting nature talks. NOVEMBER: We are honored by Indian visitors from Glacier Park, who speak to us through interpreters and tell stories in their sign language. After the stories they sing for us. much to the amusement (restrained however! of our older girls, and to the terror (not restrained! of our younger. DECEMBER: We begin the long-looked forwnrd-tO holidays in a most uplifted state of mind, after witnessing the Christmas Play, this year our beloved Bethlehem.” JANUARY: Mrs. Frederick Atkinson pays us a most appreciated visit to tell us nltoul Wellesly and to show some pictures. The Wellesly Tablet, a gift of the Wellesly Club, on which each year the name of the student in the Senior class who does the best English work shall lie carved, is installed. We are sure that this i� going to Ikt a great incentive to bigger and better” English. A very simple, impressive ceremony was held in memory of Mr. Velic. whom we will all remember as one of the finest characters the school has ever known. I'ngr Thirty-one FEBRUARY: We have our famous Parrots ami Feathers Association dinner, which the Seniors and Juniors attend almost en masse, and hear n most enlightening lecture by I r. Elliot. This month brought another league party. Two in a year! The floor was good, the music excellent, and the time even more hilarious. MARCH: We are extremely lucky to have l)r. Dengler, a famous Austrian, here to tell us about his school and the marvellous results he has achieved with his students in creative work. His personality was so sparkling and his enthusiasm so contagious that even some of our Seniors were inspired. Tin-result of their inspiration is famous, and we will not mention it. On the fourteenth we have our annual Athletic Banquet, followed by stunts, the hit of which was the faculty's Athletic Wedding, and a most exciting basketball game between the Juniors ami Seniors which ended in a lie. Two plays were given also in March by the Freshman Class. The acting was very good and the plays charming. APRIL: The high school unites in giving an operetta, Maytime in England. which was unanimously declared a great success, thanks to the lieautiful costuming, the charming songs, and the hard work put into it by Miss Corse, Miss Smith, Mrs. Foulstone, Miss Glosser and some of the mothers. The play was written by Miss Smith, ami a descriptive program will Ik- found elsewhere in this hook. I’a ie Thirty-two MAY: Wc have our annual Held Day on the 24th. We sinrerely hope that there are no “lummy-aches” from ice cream cone consumed. On the 29lh Northrop is gay with llowrm and music for the Junior-Senior dance. JUNE: Flower ! Tears! Luughler! While and gold ribbons fluttering from creamy scrolls! Stately Senior in their white rap and gown ! and imposing Faculty. CHRISTMAS PLAY 1928 H THE PROLOGUE ’’BETHLEHEM” by I.AWftKNCE HOIJSMAN Siam tiling mn t totlumn ilrtignej and rettnl .l bg Hit Cm nr. Page Thirty-four THE CHRISTMAS PI.AY 'T'HIS year we relumed l« Bethlehem, the nativity play by Lawrence Housman, f««r our Christmas pageant. The- school marched in to the familiar strains of 0 Come All Ye Faithful. the auditorium having been softly lighted in blue, and the brown curtain replaced by blue ones. After the prologue the shepherds appeared, the blending colors of their costumre standing out as a painting against the lovely new drop of the bills of Bethlehem. The angel, Gabriel, appeared Ixsfore them and told of Christ's birth; whereupon the shepherds departed, singing, for the lowly manger. Then came the kings gorgeously garbed in the striking colors of the Hast, searching for their high goal. Again the angel told his wonderful story, and the curtain fell on the first act as the kings turned toward Bethlehem. During the interval between the two acts, the school sang a few beautiful carols, old ones yet new to most of us. The curtain went up on the second act showing the peaceful group of the Holy Family in the humble stable. The shepherds crept in in awe and presented their gifts; then the kings came to worship and adore, and to offer their crowns, gold. incense, and myrrh. After Mary had risen and given her son's blessing, the worshipers in bowed reverence withdrew. The last tableau showed Gabriel appearing to Joseph in a dream to warn him of Herod's jealousy and to counsel flight. Joseph, awakening, told Mary of his dream, and as the curtain fell, they prepared for flight. The holy ones were leaving us! We wish at this time to thank Miss Corse again for her wonderful direction, and for all the work which she put into the production of the play. All the beautiful new scenery and the costumes were designed and the two drops were in part painted by her. Mrs. Foul stone, as before, shared in the arduoti task of coaching the players. Miss Smith, who has just come to us this year, arranged the unusually licuuli-fill musical setting for the play combining with the familiar carols music which hnd not been heard in Minneapolis before. We should mention with gratitude also the music which Mrs. Koos composed especially for the occasion and the assistance which she gave at that time. Eleanor Bri.i.ows.

I‘a$c Thirty-seven RIDING 'T'IIERE has Item an unusual amount of enthusiasm shown in riding this year, especially in the Friday afternoon rides and hikes. On account of the warm weather we have been aide to have more of these than usual. Girls from the seventh gradt through the high school who like to ride, left immediately after school and rode till about five-thirty. In the meantime, other girls walked out to Mrs. Engram’s Hiding Academy, where riders and hikers met for dinner. At first we played baseball after dinner, and later in the fall when it became dark early, we danced till seven or seven-thirty and then went home. There was also a great deal of interest shown in the horse-show. which was held on October nineteenth. On account of the rainy weather, the Parade Grounds were too slippery, so the show took place in the Kenwood Armory. Mr. Lawrence Barry and Mr. U. S. Davis very kindly consented to judge for us. The first event, the Junior Equestrian, was won by Elizabeth Mopes, with Frances Ward and lone Kucehle taking second and third, respectively. In the Bareback Class, Mary Louise Sudduth. Nancy Morrison, and lone Kucchlc won first, second and third. In the Three Gaited Class, Mary Louise Sudduth. riding her Blackamore, took first; Ruth Clark on I ady Hex took second; and Frances Ward on Finnesse, third. In the Pony Class, first, second and third were won by Peggy Thompson, lone Kuechle, and Jane Helm. Huth Clark on Miss Chief placed first in the Five Gaited Class; lone Kuechle placed second on May Bud and Elizabeth Mopes, third on Lindy Ia u. After the horseshow a tea was held in the school gym, at which lime Mr. Barry presented the cups. Miss Carsc and Madames Piper, Krmp, Clark. Lee. and Doerr wrre hostesses. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Miss Haggerty, to Miss Bagier, who devoted so much time and put so much enthusiasm into the riding, and to Miss Adams and Miss Pease who chaperoned the hike , for their assistance in riding and hiking this year. They have made possible many things which could nut have been done without them. ‘age Thirty-eight HOCKEY REPORT 1928-1929 When planning the hockey schedule (his year, it was feared that November 15, the day set for the last game, would be cither 20 degree below zero or a blizzard.

THE NORTHROP LEAGUE ITH the end of llic school year 1928-29 conies also I he end of I he ninth year of the Northrop League's existence; an existence varied and ('hanging from year to year, hut alwuy closely interwoven with the welfare of the school. Old rec ords in our files show some institution'' and departments which have since died out, in some cases to our benefit, in some to our sorrow. They also show that certain new customs and plans have come into existence which have yet to prove their worth. In looking through some old records the other day. we came upon a list of league officers for the year 1918. and, much to our surprise, we found that the President of the League and the Head of thr Student Government were two entirely different people holding the same amount of power. Well, they must have found that the plan had its faults, as it is no longer followed. Hut the very fact that such an offiee did exist shows that Student Government was considered an important department of the la-ague, and sets an example that we may well profit by. I do not wish to say that Student Government i-5 not today an important part of the League. It is. Yet it looms liefore us as so nothing to he developed and improved in years to come. To inaugurate, at this stage in it career, a separate head to overse • its functions does not seem necessary. What does seem most vital is that each girl, no matter whether she is President of the league or a very new seventh grader, should feel a personal sense of responsibility in the matter, and make it her own business not the unpleasant duly of her class President—to see that she is doing lu-r part to make Student Government a success. One of the new developments, not to In found even in last year's records, is Student Chapel. This is a combination of league meeting and Chapel, held on Wednesday morning and conducted by the girls. It includes only Lengue members, that is. fro-n the Seventh Grade upward. If there is any business to Im- transacted the time is given over to a meeting. If not, n regular chapel service is held, and we try to have some program which will be of interest. After mid-years, n scries of current events programs was given in which every class had a part. These programs, coached by Mis- Adams and Mrs. Foulstone, were not only interesting but of great value to usW who don't peruse out papers as well ns we might. In thi connection we should like to express our appreciation to Miss Adams for her valuable lime mid aid. We feel that these chapels have proved worthwhile, and, we hope, interesting to those who have attended them. The institution is. however, one of those aforementioned which have yet to prove, through lime, their durability. So ends another year, and next September will see the Ik--ginning of a new la-ague, under a new administration. We who have worked on this year's council have come to feel more than ever that the league is the backbone of the school life, that it is a thing that must not lose its force, ami that thi- force is to Ih- maintained only through the co-operation of every girl with the officers, who in turn will never cease their efforts for the well-being of ibis power, so vital in the life of Northrop. Granted this, it cannot help hut remain, in spile of any superficial changes, the heart of the school. We wish to make special mention this year of the work done by the welfare committee, headed by Charlotte Hanson, vice-president of the league. It is through this group that the school gains a useful knowledge of the various social agencies and is privileged to do its bit toward furthering some useful enterprises. After a careful consideration the committee has liecn able to work out a plan for a Northrop league Scholarship to In awarded each year for the purpose of giving at least a high school course to some girl of promise who would otherw ise Ik- unable to afford it. For the coming year the scholarship is awarded to a student of Kdison High School. In their careful administration of the funds at their disposal and in the intelligent interest which they have brought to the study of their problem, the welfare committee lias don? a piece of work which will prove valuable both to I he twelves and to the school.

The rain drizzled steadily outside and I wrapped my slicker close around me, as I stepped gingerly into one of the launches that lake the passengers ashore. Although it is always daylight in this part of the world, during the summer months, tonight a thick mist had enwrapped everything. The sea had heroine quite rough, and, us the little boat chugged along, the waves lashed against the sides, sending up a heavy spray over all the passengers. By the time we had landed at the little Lapp village, eompnsed of four huts at the bottom of the mountain, I was thoroughly soaked and in not an especially g� od humor to climh a mile of slippery mountainside just to In- aide to say I had hern at the top of the North Cape. My spirits were revived, however, when a crowd of young jwople sped by me calling, “Hurry up, Louise; we’re going to try to moke it in a short hour. Carried on by their enthusiasm I started up, scorning the walking stick which a dirty Lapp was holding out to me for three kroners (87 cents), and which the older people advised me to take. After fifteen minutes of rapid climbing, my knees began to f« «'l rather funny, and I decided maybe it would be wiser to take the ascent a little more slowly. Apparently some of the rest of our parly hud the same idea, for we slackened our speed considerably. At the next turn, seeing a very muddy stretch above us with only a skimpy rope to hang on to, we decided to rest a few minutes on the bench provided there. After all six of us were comfortably seated, we looked down and saw that another group of young enthusiasts were catching up to us, and fur- ther down a more experienced older group was taking it carefully and at tlu-ir case. Among these I saw Mother, who looked up just then to wave at me. At this moment, the gentleman in front of her slipped, and realizing that lie had lost his footing entirely and was in a good way to have to start all the way up from the bottom again, he grnhl cd at the first available object, which happened to lie Mother! Down they both went, hut it did not stop at that, for the gentleman kept light on going and lit on a ris k, his hat living off as he turned a complete summersault and came up standing u few yards off. As it happened, there was a rapid stream tumbling down ill- mountain at this point, and as his hat flew off. it lauded squarely in the middle of the stream, and went rushing on to join the Arctic Ocean. His first thought was, of course, for Mother, whom hr had so rudely knocked down. She. neatly arrayed in a while sport outfit hut n moment Itefore, was now seated in a far from while mini puddle, her dress utterly ruined. Having liecn helped up she decided sorrowfully that it would l e liest to return to the Itoat and await the arrival of thr party. I guess later she certainly was glad she had. because -well, you’ll soon see for yourself. By now we were fully rested and could start once more the slipping and sliding up the slope. All this time a heavy fog had Item steathily closing in on us. In a few minutes we were unable to see more than a few yards in front, and consequently it was impossible to tell how many more miles of winding trail there were still to climh—it seemed like a million I can assure you. More mud, more falls, more sonkiugs, and then finally a tiny pavilion from which issued the deli- Page Pony-fit t cious aroma of hot coffee. Oh! il wan wonderful to feel a Itent h. even a rude wooden one, once more beneath our weary limbs, and to have a of steaming coffee placed liefore us. It was not long before this good medicine revived our enthusiasm ami all weariness was forgotten. We were now at the top of the mountain, hut we learned from one ol the Lapp guid« s who had accompanied us that, u mile further on across the plateau which formed the top, there was another pavilion which was really considered to mark the highest point on the park. Accordingly, by the time the older people had come panting in, we were fully resolved to go on. Most of our parents had had enough and were very ready to start down again, after a few minutes' rest; and as mdiody else among our other friends wanted to go, wc six adventurers started out from the pavilion alone. Scorning the offers of the guides to accompany us. wc set off gayly 0:1 our way. We had. however, not realized how impenetrable the fog had become, and liefore we had taken more than a few steps, we heartily wished we had not come, or at least that we had accepted the proffered assistance of the guides. “They shouldn’t have let us go alone when they knew how dense the fog had become and we hadn't a chance in a hundred to find our way, I exclaimed, entirely ignoring the fact that wc had obstinately refused any guidance, and that the poor Lapps had no way of telling us the danger, except by signs which we probably would not have understood. I was surprised to hear no one echo my statement, and turning around, I realized my friends were no longer with me. ’ j c Forty six They were GONE! i was alone! Alone on a bleak mountain top in Norway! I screamed and then tried to call, hut my voice was strangled in my throat. I could not utter a sound. The dampness became so oppressive I was almost choked. I ran here and there, trying to find someone -something. After a minute or so my panic ceased, and I tried to think. I must lx somewhere near the pavilion.” I mused, for I knew I had not been gone for more than ten minutes when I realized I was ALONE! Oh! that terrifying word. The ship was scheduled to sail at midnight. Suppose it should leave before I was found, ami on it my dear family, whom I should never see again. I would simply stay here until I was overcome by hunger, and then I would die, without even having a chance to say I was repentant for all my sins. Of course this was all foolishness, and now I am aslia tied of the wild thoughts which kept running through my aching head. But then! No one can account for her thoughts when she is in the position I was in. Well, there I was, and tli?rc I was to stay until death took me away from this sinful world. Having arrived at this doleful conclusion I sat down to await my fate, without another thought of trying to find my way out of this white wilderness. Just at this moment it seemed to my straining eyes that the fog was lifting a little. Yes. it must Ik;,’’ I cried joyfully, for objects heretofore unseen were now unfolding to my view. I jumped up. Something light seemed to l e piercing the fast clearing fog. Soon the light took the form of a ss ni-circle, far off in the distance. A wave of wonder, mad delight. thankfulness an inexpressible emotion passed over me. leaving me shuddering ami weak. I was saved! This semi-circle, whatever it was, grew brighter every minute, and seemed to bo lying on the horizon. The strange thing about it was that the longer I watched, the smaller grew the light. The fog was clearing rapidly now. Another moment and I knew. It was the Midnight Sun! It lit up the sky in a heavenly painting of rose. Below me the fiord was spread out in a glorious panorama, the winding trail leading down to the little Lapp village nestled at the foot of the mountain, the boat sending forth clouds of smoke, the fiord itself, now liecome calm as a lake, reflecting the glorious coloring of the heavens. It was the Midnight Sun in all its glory, an indes ribable picture which I shall never forget. I-OL'ISK pAKTRIttCE. WONDERING Nixhi lime. Lovelimr. W ith Ihe lender moon g'owing afar.

I’age 'orfy-ieern ----------------- A LION FOR A FEAST The expressman knocked al the door across the hall from I'ntlit.r in the freshman dormitory at Harvard. � answer! Who’s there.” shouted Father from his room without making any move from his comfortable chair. “Box for Mr. John Goof. John who?” Duniio how you say it. Guff? Couch? Goo? Gaw? Take your pick.” “Spell it. said Father. “G-o-u-g-h.” “Oh. sure. I’ll sign for it. Leave it here.” said Father, reluctantly leaving hi hook of logarithms, lie hauled the hox inside and signed for it. “Sure ye'll give it to him?” “Sure, I'll give it to him. I solemnly swear.” As the expressman’s slow steps died away. Father began to formulate a plan to have some fun with Johnny, who lived across the hall, lie had examined the !m x and discovered that it contained food, home-cooking from Johnny's Mother. He did not hudge even when he heard brisk steps, dancing the double shuffle, draw near, accompanied by a shrill whistle. The w histling was off-key as usual w hen Walter. Father's roommate, tried to show his musical talent. Walter came in and knocked on the inside of the door, per usual. He was a short, stocky fellow, not especially handsome, with a set of the funniest little teeth in the world. He collected laundry to earn his way through college. “Is the Caproni lion al home this morning, 0 keeper of the CM)?' “Shut up, I’m studying. “Wife of mine, (Walter's pet name for Father blessings on thee for this unaccustomed concentration.” Walking over to the bookshelf. Waller uccostcd the plaster lion thus: “Felis, how do you muzzle your roaring for your proud keeper, yonder?” Here he dodged a hook flung at him by my irate Father. “Careful of this plaster sainted lion, wife! Rcmcnilicr his mother was a Mcgrill and a Caproni. as you have frequently informed the whole of Rattle Alley. She is a remarkable lion. Note his coives. N. B., he's modeling. to wit his muskcls and his finesse.” “Oh, go collect your laundry.” “This week’s collars are all dispatched from all Harvard. Can't shake me thus, wife!” Whistling the same tune, still off-key, he whirled about and stumbled over the box. “Wazzis?” “Box for Johnny Goo!” “Johnny which?” “S'what the expressman called him.” “That's a new baptism for John. Wazzis hox?” “A box from his mother and it has fond in it. Smell of it!” “It's marked perishable. S nells like shicken.” “Well, it’s awfully nice for us, whatever it is,” replied Father. “For us?” “Yes, we'll be nice to him and invite him to a feast. Get the hammer from Iw-hind my lion and open it.” Walter went to the lion. “Grr!! Got ycr hammer away in spite of yer ivor teeth!” Going to the box, he ripped off the I’ IRC Fr� ty rififu boards, .Mill half protesting. “Mm-shickcn! And another! All roasted! Anna plum puddin' An some lovely red apples. “How niiii'li have you, Walter? ‘'Fifty-eight cents!” Go dowri'n buy a potato eliip apiece, an a loaf o'breid. and a square of butter. What's the hurry? It says 'perishable.' Hurry! When Walter came hack. Father hid the card table spread with food, and odd dishes, from a drawer in the chiffonier. The lion wus in the middle of the table, and Waller planted a chicken wing in his mouth. This lion was Father's most treasured possession. It was a real Caproni. and also the gift of some fair maiden. He protested at having his precious lion so ridiculed as to stand on the table w ith a chicken wing in his mouth but Walter told him not to ! • particular. Father pushed him out the door and instructed him to put the invitations for the feast in Johnny's letter slot, and also in N d’a. The invitation read thus: A! El A! (Amalgamated eaters association I Come and bring I knife I fork each to ten Perkins for a F — E A T S of SHICKEN (On or before I p. m.� (A. E. A.) “Don't cher breathe a word to John. On Wallers return, “Wific went on with his protests against the ridicule of his lion. “You needn’t make fun of that lion. It'- a good cast. I'm studying art and I know. And it wo a present! Sure! from a very important somebody with Idue eyes!” ‘‘(, uit it! I know good art when I see it. There goea the bell. Classes arc out; Jolmny'll U- home soon. “Anybody hu.n?” came n voice with a decided Irish twist to it. “No one a tall. Johnny. Lemme in.” “Nix, not now. Go home and read your invitation and come armed w ith the necessary. Voice through the tramom, I accept. Scotty'I I accept, too. I'm sure. Scotty was his roommate. He always lugged when he walked. Fat. with blue eyes like a Giiua doll’s', hair'over his eyes, and a constant grin, he slowly made his way home after classes. Ned. from upstairs, also accepted. All three lined up in the hall and hammered on tho panels with “the necessary. “Dinner is served,” said Waller opening the door with a grand flourish. Dinner! It was an elaborate ceremony as it was not often that these hays got such u treat a- home-cooked food. During the course of the meal someone joggled the table and this called forth a lecture from Father about his previous lion, lie was afraid that it would get broken. He said he didn't know what In- should do if it was injured nor what he should say to the donor of the prevent. The boy claimed that they could get just as good a one on the corner from the Dago for fifty cents, which called forth a further explanation of the good points of this masterpiece of sculpture. Past Forty-nine Finally (lie meal was over ami Johnny ruse, licking his finger . Soy, who do we owe thanks to for this gorgeous repast? It’s the l� rst I’ve tasted since I left home. That chicken tasted just like mother’s cooking. “No one but you. Johnny,” said Walter, and went on to an explanation as to what Father had done. Johnnie, rather peeved, said as he went to the door. “Well, so long as I provided the eats you can do dishes. Is he really mad. Walter?” questioned Father anxiously after John went. “If he is. we’ll find out soon enough, for lie’s the kind that gets even.” Father found out! Next day as he walked into his room he found Johnny down on his knees picking up the fragments of what had been precious “Fclisleo.” Waller sat by in a chair w ith such u woeliegone face that Father was almost forced to smile, but turning again to the terrible sight on the door he looked more like crying. What should lie say to her was the first thing that Hashed across his mind? “Awfully sorry!” explained Johnny. “We were roughhousing and we hit the bookcase. Of course he had to fall down and crash all to piece . We’re dreadfully sorry, but we’ll buy aiiotlier one for you.” “It can't l r as good a one as this I know, Nvause it was a real Caproni.” Nevertheless, nothing daunted, Johnny arrived at 10 Perkins with an ungainly looking package. It was wrapped with cheap brown paper and tied with a dirty string. Father knrw ini nediately that it hail come from the Dago. He opened it and placed tile statue on the table. “Oh, come now, Phil, look at that swelling muschels! book at those tail! Look at the ivory linish. guaranteed to stand Ivory Soap.” Father, I'm afraid, was not very gracious alwut it. hut he tried to make the best of a had matter. But when Johnny a� ked him if he didn't think this lion just us good as the original. Father proceeded to point out the differences: “Finish all streaky, general rhythm of l|ic stride not right. and so forth. l)h, you're too fussy!” “Any good artist would know the real tiling when lie saw it.” Here Father whirled around to find Waller shaking with mirth. “Don’t you laugh! I know what I'm talking about. I know good art w hen I see it!” “Well, if you’re so sure it isn't so good, lift the east up and look at the bottom.” He did and there he saw tile Caproni stamp. “Why! why! why! stammered poor bewildered Father. “Wluit's this mean?” “It means that that’s your own lion. The broken one was the one we bought from the Dago to smash.” put in Johnny, who always got even. fagr Fifty OLD-FASHIONED Outside: Old-fashioned rain bent al old-fashioned window-panes: old-fashioned hollyhocks dripped silver tears; old-fashioned drops trickled down old-fashioned thatch; and old-fashioned eaves sheltered two busy robins. Inside: In an old-fashioned fireplace a fire, crackling like brown paper, challenged the rain that seeped down a cobblestone chimney, shot dancing shadows across a red brick hearth and above to the old-fashioned rafters.

Hess and Patsy, just in from their marketing, were gathered around their tea-table, sipping slowly and daintily, their tea. and warming their pretty, old hands. Bess was small and so charming with bright, sweet eyes, and her oldest friend. Patsy, was just like her. She wore a blue locket on a delicate, gold chain. You wondered what was in it. I imagine they had lieen really quite coquettish in their day. Hattie was old-fashioned too. in u quaint, merry way. On seeing her. you wanted to finger her hair, it was so white and soft. They were dears, these nice old ladies. Astonishingly smart, they all wore printed muslins. Isn't that an unusual garh for old ladies who prohahly attended the christening of our first steamship? You must admit though that gay kerchiefs and flowered aprons did become them, foi were there ever three more sprightly, alive old dames?

Fascinating, mysterious and silent. she will be centuries from now. W hy? Why? She is an inanimate, ugly figure, uninspiring and crude. Why? This question I have asked myself many a time, hut always the same answer recurs. Imagination reveals to me the secret of the Sphinx. Her charm for me lies in what she secs through unseeing eyes. The western sun glitters on Pharaoh’s bronze shield, on hh bronze body, on the bronze chariot, on the lip of his bronze spear. Pharaoh rides alone, before his warriors. The dull, f ver-increasing roar of many hoofs resounds in the watcher’ ears. A red clonk flashes, then a purple, and a green. White, black, white, the horses come and are gone. Dusk comes. There is darkness. The ears of the sentinel catch the deep echoes . Then they hear no more. Silence and the blue night slip over the hills from the East and envelop the immobile figure. A purple spiral of smoke stings the nostrils of the Sphinx, passes before her eyes and on up to nowhere, thin, hazy, and indefinite. The fumes of an oriental incense, intoxicating and wonderful, arise from an altar between the massive paws. Then the horrible, repugnant odor of burning flesh: and lastly the incoherent inu-nhh- of white-robed worshipers, on bended knee. Everything passes away, but a faint, spicy aroma lingers, elusive and tantalizing. Eastward, eastward, that night the star progressed. The watcher saw three kings on yellow l ea ts of burden pass, keeping tryst and seeking eternal rest. Eastward, eastward and eastward, over the sands, eastward, past the Sphinx Im -yond llie horizon. Will the silent watcher of time ever yield her secret? Mary Atkinson Paft Fifty tuo THE GARDENS OF THE WEST INDIES A sunlieam slowly made its illuminating way down through the water. It came to r« st on a blue anemone, outlining it with a del irate golden filigree, dropping yellow stars on the petals. A black fish swam by, exotic with a scarlet tail, bizarre with purple-striped fins. As it softly swished away, you caught a glimpse of green under-scales. There slipped by another one. long, supple, and graceful, blue, green and crimson. As it disappeared, you saw the twist of a rainbow tail. In the sun's ray a little further down there was coral, lovely and precious, sheltering sea horses under its branches. There were waving green plants, sending out leaves w ith silver backs, holding clusters of flowers, bright-colored. A yellow fish, spotted with black, broke through the foliage, and took shelter under a green rock. More followed, red and dazzling. Through the opening, you caught sight of coral and blue anemones, sea urchins, and starfish. Then a mermaid with jewels in her hair, appeared from nowhere. She came to gather sea flowers for her table. Blue anemones, rose and yellow fans, she crushed into her arms, and, finding no more to her liking, faded away into nowhere, a laughing phantom of the depths. Do you want to see a mermaid’s table? It is nm! er with coral plates, coral glasses, coral bowls. There arc bouquets of sen beauties at each place and one pale-green anemone in the middle with stamens fine as rose-point lace. Do you want to see Neptune’s palace with halls of pearl? It has gates of green marble brought from quarries of the Southern Seas and inenwtod with pink pearls. It has white domes inlaid with gems from Spanish Argosies. And it has turrets of lapis lazuli. The gardens of the West Indies are beautiful, full of mystery and bidden secrets, full of shadows and phantoms, full of subterranean glamor. M. THE WRITING ON THE WALL “Oh. Muvvcr. 1 wish there wass somethings to do.” i said, lazily lying on the floor, kicking my feet in the air. “Oh, go upstairs and play.” replied Mother. I am busy now.” I walked up the stairs clumpety. clump, clumpety, clump, till I reached the landing. There I stopped and waited. Soon all was quiet except for the scratching of Mother's pen. Slowly I drew something from my pocket. I looked it over. Mother stopped writing, and I waited breathlessly till she began again. I looked the pencil over a second time. It was broken, and short, and had no eraser. Scribble—urn—(Was it the right thing to do? No. no, it wasn't, but it was fun.) Scribble.... scribble... .scribble. Mother had stopped writing! She was coming toward the stairs! Oh. clear! where was the eraser? There was none on that pencil. I knew where an eraser was, but it was too far away. Mother was coming up the stairs! My heart went thump, thump! “What is wrong?” asked Mother. “Oh, nullfing. I said fearfully. “W hat is this I see?” I could hear her say. The time was near. “What is This Writinc?” questioned Mother. “’AtV the handwriting on the wall. I quoted front the sen-fences I had heard in Sunday school. Mother took me on her knee. “It is all right now. she said, “but it won't be next time. “I won’t do it any more, honest. Muvvcr.' Riioda Belcher. Form VI. STRAP-HANGING Strap-hanging! I� llu ro anyone who has not, at some lime in his life, encountered an elusive leather strap on an extremely over-crowded street ear?

Oh! you're off again! Completely losing your balance (you couldn't possibly fall down: every one is packed as tight as the proverbial sardine in the can) you first careen wildly toward a greasy Itnlian who has just partaken generously of some very strong garlic: then sway back again onto a large, fat woman carrying a messy cardboard container of oysters, which have been diipping merrily all the while down your once, but no longer, immaculate velveteen coat. But at last! The conductor calls “Lincoln.

He felt malicious tonight, evil and mischief gleaming subtly from tawny, yellow slits. The wind shared in his mood. It played w ith his inky fur. Hipped a dead oak leaf in his dark face, and then 'hot up to chase the clouds. Ksau watched it. brooding and scheming. Around the floating moon it was whistling anil cutting capers with the stars. Soon. he. Ksau, would In there too. pursuing the wind. Down again, it was playing with his tail. Then of course Abracadabra Meg would be here too. for she always canu from her ethereal haunts on the wings of the wind. “Esau.” lie heard her malevolent voice in his ear. “Esau, here I am. Climb on beside me. and we’ll slip along with the wind.” Esau, without apparent motion, seated himself on the crimson broomstick in a fold of Meg’s black rob. his eyes shining green hell fire, two sparks on a black velvet background. The wind whisked its tail, the earth was left in their wake, and the starry kingdom of the man in the moon was bfore them. They passed Orion, resplendent in his fiery glory, and through the biting air to the Milky Way. Esau loved this part of their nocturnal sojourn. Stars were everywhere; stars, white as newly-fallen snow, gleaming in his black fur; stars, baiitiful as snow-crystal , glittering on Abracadabra Meg’s velvet cloak; stars, silvery as hoar-frost, glowing on his paws, black as onyx. Then there were stars, creamy and dully brilliant. in his mistress' hair: delicate stars, transparent as glass, rushing along with the wind; and then there was one, a lustrous, red. incandescent thing, on the peak of his mistress’ head. There were so many that he could spread his paw and entrap some there. To see what would happen he dropped them. They floated toward the dark earth, sparkling and giving out silver rays which vanished quick as thought. He watched them, watched them until they reached the earth, vivid and then invisible. Meg and lie were near the moon now -near that intangible, luminous ball. Somehow it always seemed receding. They couldn’t approach it. For hundreds of years Meg and Esau had attempted this task and still the moon remained an evasive, ivory sphere—always taunting them to chase it, hut never getting quite w ithin reach. That was the moon—fleeing, bau-tiful, and cold. “Meg, ’tis no use. That moon still escapes us.” Back on the wings of the wind they flew, hack to reality and the earth, to wait patiently for next month and its ever-enchanting pursuit of the elusive, fugitive, mocking moon.

Ruth Alberta Clark. THE LITTLE COLONIAL GIRL She had blue eyes, and fair curly hair. Her check were pale pink and so was her rosy pup nose. She was all in white from her while skin to her small white shoes. The only color in the whole picture was the rose in her hands and the garden in which she was standing. Just then her snow white kitten came trotting through the grass. She stooped and picked it up, then paraded down through the archway of locusts. She stopped and listened; someone was calling her. She put down the kitten and ran toward the old colonial house, curls flopping, and eyes sparkling. The little figure ran towards the outstretched arms of her colored nurse who was standing on the porch. Katherine Warner. Form V. THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA “An adjective, please. came the voice of my cousin. Dick, across the room. “Nobody,” replied my small brother who did not tjuite understand the game. “No, a word that mean something, Dick remarked impatiently.

Page Fifty.fir,- BILL AND COO When we hear a loud “squawk” and several shrill screeches, we know that Bill and Coo are fighting again, for llioiigh they arc lovebirds, they often dispute. However when the quarrel is over they are all the more devoted. Bill sings his love song, which is no more than a low gurgle in his little yellow throat, to Coo, who responds to her mate by sitting closer to him and listening attentively. Butting their curved beaks together, they love and caress each other so tenderly that you think it impossible that they could ever have had any differences. In appearance they are almost exactly alike except that Bill is a little brighter in color. Their breasts are bright green, as are their long tails, lipped with black. They have i’cautiful yellow collars, on which Bill has four big black dots. Their wings and heads are barred in crimson and black, and their little brad eyes gleam out of bright yellow-faces. finished off by queer hook Is-aks. If some one approaches to look at them. Bill draws nearer to Coo in a nervous, protecting manner. These two birds are devoted mates and could never live separated from each other. Virginia Hki.m. Pap Fifty-six TRIUMPH! I)nnrr!

TWILIGHT A madly chattering squirrel dashes up the white stone terruce rail and into the tree In-fore mv window. Then, popping into the widely yawning door of his home, he leaves the world to peace. In the western sky the five long finsers of a ghost-like cloud reach tentacle-like, greedily toward four bars of coral and turquoise. The fiery blue of heavens and the lake turns to a softer blue-purple, like that of a ripe plum, oozing sweet nectar. The cloud slowly changes its oyster white raiment for a robe of orchid, and. grasping, clutchinc. sinks it fingers into the throat of the dying sunset, which emits but one silvery cry, the evening star.
