How did you get all those scratches on your face? A. S.—Was playing with a cat, and she scratched me. L. S——And the bump on your forehead? A. S. She threw a flat-iron at me. Vernon King—Of course, women should vote. Their minds are much purer and cleaner. Barbara D.—Cleaner? Of course, they are; ever so much cleaner. But how did you know that? V. K.—Because they change them much oftener. Helen F.—They say there are germs in kisses. Now, what do you suppose a girl could catch that way? Harry T.—A hushand! Mildred baby looks into my face it smiles. W.—Every time the Mary T.—Well, it may not be ex- actly polite, but he shows he has a sense of humor. First Girl—I got a pearl from an oyster.

The census embraces seventeen million women. How would you like to be the census ?—Ex. Ex. Boy—You would be a good dan- cer except for two things. Girl—What are they? Boy—Your feet. —Ex. GOOD FORESIGHT We were all surprised at the great foresight of the faculty by putting the boys on the opposite side of the study hall. Some of the boys were becoming physically misshaped by turning their heads to the right. Now, that they are on the opposite side of the room, they will have a chance to straighten them. This will be quickly done. Mr. Steele—Mr. Sullivan, what is a pillory? Leo N.—A what? Mr. Steele—A pillory. Leo—W hy—er—let me see; sure, that’s a jocular term applied to a drug store. Freshie—May I go to play now, ma? Mother—What, with those holes in your trousers? I-reshie—No, with the boy next door.

Ruth I —No. that’s right; they’d probably ask only 98 cents. Mr. Steele (Com. Geog.) —What can you tell me about New England textiles? Roy S.—New England textiles are extremely dult, no noteworthy operations having been reported from that quarter since the famous cotton mather was woven into prints. Margaret H.—I got a set of furs for Christmas. Miss Wirt—And what poor ani- mal suffered in order that you might have them?
