hh' '31 . I 9 I ll if i 4 fi After the story of the evening the members are again all attention to hear the report of the critic, who has been secretly appointed by his prede- cessor. 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! Sparkles, from the Critic's Repo-rt. Miss VVebb, we think, deserves the palm for being Without superstition. At breakfast one morning not long ago, there was only one biscuit left on the . . P plate and several at the table were still hungry. But who would take it. Finally Miss VVebb said, '6I'll take that biscuit, I have already passed the danger line.', ' ...,,L.li-- Miss Sallie Eannie Mann honestly confesses that she cannot sing, but she does claim to knovv all about the rudiments of music.

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

I SHORT CUTS TO BREAKFAST. The very first requisite for speedy dressing for breakfast, is a long coat. The closer it fits, and the longer it is, the better it suits the purpose, for long coats cover a multitude of shortcomings. Most of the girls follow the style just mentioned. i ' The next best thing is a gym blouse. The only trouble with this is finding a collar, but any old thing-say a yellow pennant--will do, and you are ready a la Wiggins style. A dressing-sack may not be the most approved costume for breakfast, but with a long coat it makes a very neat appearance, especially if the bright fold is seen at the throat a la Young style. If the hair is done up in curl-papers, jerk the papers off as quickly as pos- sible, take the brush and give one lick' at the hair, twist it up and run, a la Gresham style. If there is no time for even that, pull the hair up gracefully in a knot about the middle of the head, get a small black hat with a red band, and set it jauntily on top, a la MacGill style. , If you are almost ready and see the last one going in, ask some one to hold the door open for you, then do your best running, even if you have to come in on the Southernn, a la. Greene style. If you haven't time to fasten belts, collars, and pins, it is very convenient to finish on the way. Take the pins in your mouth, and, if you find that you cannot use them fast enough by yourself, get your neighbor to help you, a la Porter style. - If you fail to get in at the side-door, make a dash for the middle door, if that is also locked, rush round to the kitchen, persuade the housekeeper that you had a headache or that you didn't hear the bell. Probably she will take pity on you and let you in, a la Holcomb style. , If some cold morning when the heat has not been turned on, you have persuaded yourself that you don't want any breakfast, and afterwards at the last moment change your mind, then rush to the stairs and yell at all passing by, Bring me a biscuit l a la Taliaferro style. If your waist fastens in the back and your coat doesn't, make a combina- tion ofthe two, and you are ready ,a la LeVere style. If, on reaching the door, you discover that you have forgotten your belt, get your chum to place her arm around your waist, and you are safe, a la Laney style. . If by any of the above-mentioned short cuts you manage to get to breakfast, you will find your coffee waiting for you at the usual Normal temperature.
