'tWl1at! Do you know her? Why are you giving her that divine smile? What is she to you? Ile pointed to an almost finished portrait of Edna, which Jessie had been working on. t'She is the best friend l ever had. I love her with my whole heart. She is an angel. I am painting her as I saw her lastf, Then Jessie told the story of Ednals kindness. Dick left rather abruptly and Jessie wondered why, but he was only going to catch the train to go back to Edna. Woi1ld she forgive him, and take him back? A thousand questions came up. She might refuse to him, or, Oh! maybe she was engaged. It seemed to Dick that he would never reach his destination., but at last he was there-in her very presence, upon his knees begging and ini- ploring forgiveness. Very quietly she told him she forgave him, very softly she told him she loved him,-and-very tenderly she kissed him. GRACE ARMSTRONG, 'l3. Proverbs H So teach me to number our sandwichfs that we may each have two. Ice-cream is rather to be chosen than soup, and hot-chocolate than buttermilk. ' ' May the Way we march be acceptable in Mrs. Comfort's sight. Blessed are the pupils who do not whistle, chew gum, or sing. A note is more to be desired than great riches, and a magazine than gold - yea, than much fine gold. ' Blessed are they who bring excuses, for they will not be sent home. Roast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what your report will bring forth. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but too much giggling means one hour after school. Ask, and ye shall not be given4permissionsg knock, and the door will stay shut. My son, fear thou Prof. Lowry and Mrs. Comfort, and meddle not with them that are given to change. Happy is the pupil that studieth always, but he that wasteth his time shall fall into mischief. , LUCILLE CRUDGINGTON, III Year A. 67

H Ile left the morning after he called on you, Edna. Oh, Bobby! you little goosie! Stop that! See what you've done-tangled my thread all upf' The baby was indeed having a great time playing with his mother's thread. Edna, there a girl I want to tell you about, she is such a nice girl too, but very poor. She paints and sells whatever she can but her sales are few. Couldn't you help her when you want a new picture? Her studio is next to Garvins' jewelry store, stop in and sec what she has. Buy something too, if you can, this morning. But Mrs. Berkley l'm going to get that beautiful pin I saw in Garvin's window, and I haven 't any money 'to spend on pictures that are not well done. I had to beg papa for money to get the pin. I've already spent my allowance. Wasn't that pin a darling? Mrs. Berkley ignored her question, she only paled a little. W0llld you mind matching some thread for me, Edna? Wliy, nog of course not, Mrs. Berkley! I shall be glad to. Mrs. Berkley took a piece of thread and looked for a piece of paper. She saw some in Bobby 's chubby hand and took it to wrap the thread in. H I shall appreciate it so much, Edna. Goodbye, Dear. Goodbye, dear Mrs. Berkley. Wliile going down the street, Edna glanced at the little paper in her hand. 'fOh1! she exclaimed, and looked at it more closely. Edna recog- nized the writing, and without considering whether it was right or wrong read:- No, Sister, I can never marry Edna. She isn't worthy of an honest man. I have loved her dearly, but now she has shown what she can be. She is selfish and self-centered in everything. This was part of Diek's letter which Bobby had found and torn up. MSO, I am not worthy of him! Tears blinded her eyes. Not worthy of him. llc says I'm not worthy of him! Even if l'm not worthy of him he hasnlt any business saying so ! She dashed the tears from her eyes. But I can be worthy of him. I'm sure I can. l haven't gone so far that there 's no redemption. She was just in front of Garvin 's, and resolutely she turned her head from the window and walked on to the studio of Miss Jessie Ryan. Edna entered the studio, and she and Jessie soon became friends. Jessie confided to Edna that it was one of her greatest wishes to go to Harpersville to be under the renowned artist, Mr. Jasper. Before going Edna bought a picture and arranged everything so that Jessie could go to Harpersville. Wllile Jessie was in Harpersville she met Dick. They became the best of friends. One day Dick walked into her studio while she was working, and she did not notice that he had entered. He came up behind her and looked over her shoulder. He uttered a cry. 66

HEnE's 'ro l Miss McDonough, tall and fair, Hazel eyes and golden hair, Teaches Science with a will, If she's not stopped she's teaching it still. IIEaE's 'ro - Mrs. Comfort, dignified and tall, Teaches History, but that 's not all, For the rest of the time She keeps Study Hall. HERE 's 'ro -- Miss Malcolm, whom we always find Making us children walk a straight line. Algebra is her study bold, But I guess you know that without being told. IIEaE's 'ro - Miss Acuff, a teacher mild, With deep brown eyes and a merry smile, But stern is her face and no smile we see, As she tells of the world as it used to be. HERE 's 'ro - The teacher with accent sweet, ' Witll auburn hair arranged so neat, 'A Why that 's Miss Mcllwainef' you 're sure to say- L' She teaches grammar all the day. IIERE's 'ro -- Miss Kelley, who in stature 's very small, But a great favorite she is with one and all, But her Latin, I can truthfully say, l wish it was a million miles away. GRAYCE BATEMAN, '16 68
