In a College of higher learning such as this, Where the sup- posedly finest and most refined young ladies of the city are to be found, I am astounded to find that there is at least one dishonest person. A week ago last Monday, While preparing to leave for home, I discovered that from my collection of hairpins th-ere wa.s one missing. Having just finished a gymnastic lesson, I hastened to the Assembly Hall, and there followed a fruitless search. Suddenly it occurred to me that someone must have picked it up. I thought that it would surely have been taken' to the 14

, , Ruperfs Land College Magazine office, but up to the present I have not received the hairpin, nor have I heard anything concerning it. Such a situation is appalling! The person in whose possession it now is must be using that hairpin in her own unruly locks. The gravity of this affair should be impressed upon the pupils of the College. A united eiort for the suppression of such occurrences could hardly fail to be successful. I am certain that, after this warning, such a lamentable thing will not happen again. Yours sincerely, QMISSQ WON HAIRPIN. QI have handed the above letter to the Principal of the College.-Ed.J .iiliiilii THE PRINCIPAL'S REPLY TO MISS WON HAIRPIN Dear Miss Hairpin,- It was with pained surprise that I read your letter com- plaining of the loss of your valuable pin in the College Hall. May I point out that you are accusing the young ladies who attend this College of a grievous sin, and one which you cannot prove to have been committed! r Every young lady who attends classes here is most careful to see that every hairpin she uses is carefully marked with her name in fullg indeed, this is a rule of the College. Can you be certain that the pin in question was so named? In any case I can assure you that no one attending this School would dream of wearing another person's property, especially such an expensive article as a wire hairpin. Probably you used it to lock your motor-car or to button your shoe. I regret that you imagine that you lost it in this building. , Perhaps an advertisement in the daily press would help you. Yours truly, ROBERTA SHINGLED, Principal. THE TOWER OF LONDON To-day I am going to describe to you, as fully as I can, the history of the Tower of London.
