At the twilight hour every Saturday, a crowd can be seen eagerly wending their way to the lectureroom' of Mr. Earnest, for a quiet and delightful hour with him at the Saturday Night Round Table. ThisSociety, formed in IQO4, has grown steadily in interest, and the leader and the members find this hour to be a veritable oasis in a desert. i Following a few introductory words by the leader, the secretary reads the minutes o fthe previous meeting, and then the whole Society is on the qui vive for the latest and best things in the way of fun to be had from a half dozen short, Witty stories. ' 1 After these are given, and appointments made for the next meeting, the raconteur for the evening is introduced, and gives us the best thoughts from somegood book. ' During this year we have made the acquaintance of A Friend to the Heroes , we have plotted with The Green Mountain Boys , we have taken a trip with the Circuit Rider , and after this we have listened to the beau- tiful love story of Ruth, as told by our Chancellor. We have had revealed to us the strivings of a soul to win back the Four Feathers , then followed dear little Emmy Lou in her efforts to catch up all through the childhood in which there was no guile. ' The sparkling wit of Jocelyn Cheshire still lingered with us, as we went with Rebecca to Sunny Brook Farm . Then the left hind foot of Old Brer Rabbit conjured up the most delightful time for every one, before we followed the life of one who should have been A Spinner in the Sun . Good lessons were found in the quaint sayings of the Cape Cod Folk , and Mr. Smith's talk on How Do You Do ?', found that, as far as the Round Table was concerned, we were all doipg well. . Unlike Glory McGuirk, we enjoyed all the good times of Faith Gartney's Girlhood . We also felt the influence of Katrina on a broken life, and, in passing, caught the reflection from the bright flutter of the wings of the Ken- tucky Cardinal . 1 i . I iz

And last but not least, has it ever occurred to you how free and homelike everything always is at the Round Table and how much real joy and bright- ness Mr. Earnest puts into the lives of us all, by the hour he spends here with us each week!
