Abbie Florence Blair. — A Romance in Pink, a new book giving a sketch of Miss Blair ' s three year course. Breaks and sprains supply the tragic elements of the plot, which -moves on to a climax of joy through a maze of dances, each of which is the occasion of the best time of her life. Edith Blake, our light-weight in ath- letics, claims to be of a pure Welsh family of Newark, New Jersey. She is very fond of argument and shows remarkable interest in experimental psychology. She is other- wise distinguished on account of her brother, a popular member of the foot ball team of Princeton. Lucy Edith Blake began to torment (and is still at it) at Wareham, the famous clam- resort (hence her digging propensities, which have won her the name of Encyclo- pedia Britannica). One would imagine her a typical grind, had she never seen her dance and heard her very original valentines and themes.

Mary Eleanor Barrows. — Ninety-Seven is proud to claim Mary Eleanor Barrows after a year ' s study at Gottingen, which she left to tread the universe with Emerson and Mr. Lee. Now she possesses boundless enthu- siasm, and we predict that she, the daughter of her father, will girdle the globe with the Smith College spirit. Mary Eleanor Bissell was descended from the Huguenots, and her more immediate an- cestors were Revolutionary soldiers. Her career at Smith has been worthy of a Daughter of the Revolution, both in her ex- cellent scholarship and in the stand she has always made for liberty of thought and speech. Lili.ias Stone Blaikie, one of the numer- ous Englewood girls, is among our best athletes. Not only has she helped us win many a hard-fought battle in basket-ball, by her famous bat, but she holds for Ninety- Seven the championship in tennis.

Bertha Bogue, sometimes known as B. Boge (g soft) hails from Chicago. In this case, it is a unique distinction, as her father is not engaged in the pork-packing business. She is distinguished as having changed her residence each year of her course, and her record in cutting recitations deserves, at least, ' ■ honorable mention. May Morrill Bolster, a daughter of the Hub, is familiarly known as Baby Bolster. Although coming from a family of lawyers, she has taken to paths of science, and haunts the Zoology lab. from morn till eve. As a cuisiniere she is unsurpassed, and the memory of her P. F. will long make our mouths water. Helen Boss, familiarly known as De Boss of de Sixt — Dickinson. Dispenser of hospi- tality and of five pound boxes of Huyler ' s. A tuneful performer on the banjo as well as on Freshman hearts. Pet abominations, worms, spiders and psyehology.
