Saw the vision of the ivorld and all the ivonder that loould heW When I came across our Frances, with her intellectual look. Then I saw that she was reading from an upside-doivn held book. When I asked her how she fared in this world so bright and gay She replied, “Oh not so badly, I have sausages every day.” “And Fm keeping up my Latin, for I feel that it’s of use. When I want to use a language that can stand some real abuse.” When I met our little Phyllis, she wcus filled with blank despair. Waving ividly at the street-car ivhich had gone and left her there. She said, “I have found a job that suits me, my pre-ordained vocation. Which imparts unto humanity the fruits of education. I lick .stamps for my employer, I train his circus fleas. A.side from making alibis that are always sure to please.” And my Sister, Marion “Webster” Bell who uses words so long and wise. Has cho.sen for her role in life, love-lorn la.ssies to advise. To balance the national budget she now applies the knowledge. Gained by relentless labour in her last two weeks of college. The King and Queen invited her to lunch with them last iveek.

She has definite ambitions.which she has not divulged.and the determined spirit to realize them Her sense of humour will help her to carry her (no light load) over the rocks of life —A. B. OUR NORMALITES MARGIE KINES— Diminutive, vivacious, talkative, full of energy, which she would rather save for dancing, sometimes puzzled about how she will manage three escorts at one function. HELEN KAUFMAN— Too plump for her own liking; red-headed, against her wishes; con¬ vinced that she is foredoomed to complete failure; always frantic about how she will ever get it done; devoted to dieting though she never gets results; but withal imperturably good-natured, and everybody ' s best friend. JUNE WHALL— Sylph-like and slim, with a figure that all her friends envy, brown-eyed and wavy-haired, very fond of sound effects, whether produced from the piano, her own vocal chords, or mere doors.

Last I met o ur charming Peggy with her glamour undiminished And I heard it whispered softly that “that blonde is still not finished.” She has skimped and saved and dieted, ’till she has no figure left Raw potatoes soaked in vinegar are guilty of the theft. There is a little drama school in which she teaches grammar. This here , that there , and hev ’ and “hed” are what her pupils clamor. Fool, again the dream, the fancy! hut I know my words are wild. But I glimpsed the ivomans wisdom ’neoth the laughter of the child.” (Associated Brains) OUR WAR EFFORT Helen Brennan Helen is serving with the W.A.A.F. in Toronto.
