I tion, she l)i-ing-s at every visit Frencli novels and Huyler ' s candy to cheer them on their beds of snffering. Kate Hope Robinson, — always, as you remember, the star scholar in the Bible classes from Sub-Fresh to Senior, — after teaching- a few years in the Char- lotte Graded School, came back to P. C, where she became Miss Watkins ' assist- ?nt, and dug such obscure and unthought of meanings out of the simplest verses that even Miss Watkins looked in astonishment at the work of her own hands! Marie Sloan, after a few years at another college, came back to Davidson to spend a few months at home before taking up her work as teacher. But during her visit her plans were changed — she met a very charming professor who soon persuaded her that teaching was not the only thing a woman could do; — and after an extended tour on the other side, Marie came to Davidson, where her house is always open to P. C. girls, who come up for Field Day, Junior Speaking, and other occasions. Mabel Stokes, encouraged l)y her success as an athlete in the amateur circus, at College, decided that her calling in life lay in that direction ; and now, among the most conspicuous of flaming posters which herald the ai:)proach of the largest circirs in tlic L ' nited States, is a gorgeous red one which disphiN ' s the attractions of Mademoiselle Jabelle de Sto(|ues, the noted e(|uesterienne and trapeze per- former. Annie Witherspoon, although l)ecoming one of the most noted pianists of the age, still retains the modesty and unassertiveness which characterized her school days. And as for Bleeker Reid, she neglected so many opportunities while at the Presbyterian College, that the Fates condemned her to study English and Plistory the rest of her life! Startled at such apalling news I jumped up to protest: l:)ut the flower cups bowed as before and around me drooped the same old willow, and I realized that once at least I had been caught najiping-. My only consolation was that the brook murmured reassuringly, Dreams — Dreams Bleeker E. Reiu, 07. 22

SHALL WOMEN VOTE? BY THE FAMOUS LECTURER MISS MARY OWEN MAY 20, 1912 ACADEMY OF MUSIC CHARLOTTE, N. C. At this moment 1 felt snmethiii; ; restinj on mv Ivind, — and what was my astonishment when I fonnd and read the above card. I conld hardly believe my eyes! That Alary ( )wen should have forgotten her motto Silence is golden, and been led by her man-hatred into lecturing on Women ' s Rights seems almost in- conceivable ! I fully made up my mind to attend the lecture that very night and discover for myself, if ]iossible, wdiat had brought about this change. Alary Pressley, — alias Miss Cordon ' s delight, alias Socrates, — took her mar- vellous brain and her knowledge of Latin, and became the Latin teacher in the public school. All day she deals in ' complimentary ' infinitives, ablative absolute, and indirect discourse; but at night the overwraughl brain has its revenge. If one listens outside her door — at any hour of the night, one can hear the ceaseless mur- mur — Amo — Amas — Amat ' — ' Ego amo te! E. RANKIN, M. D. Office Hours: 9-11; 1-3 CHARLOTTE, N. C. Although showing no decided preferance at College for physiology, Eloise finally chose the medical profession as her mission in life, became Dr. Annie ' s as- sistant, and is known and loved by all the P.
