disappointed, would bury her head in her hands and her shoulders would shake with her sobs. Ar last a noise at the door caused her to spring to her feet. Wlith a glad cry she threw open the door and with a gasp of joy she gathered the wanderer into her arms and drew him inside. Oh Jack! Oh Jack! 1 knew you'd come homef' she sighed happily, as she patted the wet body of a small, shivering, shaggy Collie. Susan MeCui.1.oUcz11, '2U. S3 3 Xl I 1- .

A very rich woman of French descent Lived in a castle which always lent An air of grandeur to the lands, As on the great, high hill it stands. She set the style for the people there,- Her clothes, her autos, the style of her hair, lfvcrytliing she did, they saw And copied, with worshipping, ceaseless awe. But one thing unenvied did she possess, And that was her endless carelessness. She lacked that power, and mind energy, To concentrate on a thing, you see. She often forgot this thing and that, Sometimes her glovesfagain her hat. Fluttcring here and fluttering there, Forgetting even to comb her hair. One day she thought she'd take a stroll, In the outskirts of Paris, called Yerijboul. She went unattended by maid or man, An uncommon thing around that land. She buttoned her coat around her tight, And put on a hat of enormous height. She put on her overshoes, big and black, Took out her gloves, then put them back. Thinking of some removed thing, She let her fleeting thoughts take wing. And she thoughtlessly left her goloshes unclasped. The people stood on the corners and gasped. This stylish woman, who set the pace, Vflas leading the women a merry chase. But it was seen, as plain as plain, She meant to set the style again. So the women all appeared next day, Dressed in this idiotic way. Alas, that our country should see the day Vfvhen it follows a careless woman's say. HELEN ATOORE, '23.

She rails at all the Freshmen Down in the ,sembly hall And pesters all the Seniors, They dare not talk at alll She scampers up the stairways And through the corridors, l guess that she's not human, For she's seen on all the floors. She's here and there and all about And never seems to rest. So we give her to the uniors, May they cherish this bequest.
