I do not often put them on, for I am not tond of looking through them, but some- times an irresistible impulse compels me, and then I behold strange things. If we all wore spectacles of this kind, we should either cease 10 smile or else be very happy, for these glasses reveal the inner characteristics as well as the outer man, and when I have them on, I read the Secrets of the heart as an ope-n book. The last occasion on which I wore them was so full of happy sights and sounds that I wish alway s to hold it in remembrance. Before me was a table banked high with sweet peas and roses 3 happy faces beamed around, and per- fect good fellowship abounded. It was the night of my class banquet. I hesita- ted to put on the spectacles, for I did not knew in vxhat way tlge lives of those about me might be revealed. I was extremely anxious, however, for just one look at my class 3 and, the spectacles once on, I was glad to see that the images brought up were the familiar things connected with our associations from day to day. The Brst person on whom I turned my spectacles was George. To my Sur- prise she began to take on a new shapeg and, when the evolution was complete, I stood gazing at a Normal biscuit. Then I turned to Alma and Gladys, and a similar wotderful change began. I found myself wondering at a group of animals that confronted me, but not long was I puzzled, for I heard the familiar call, Where you, Brer Fox ? and the answer, Here I be Brer Rabbit, me and Tar Baby ! Next I looked toward Alice who faded into an echo which seemed to come from footsteps marching in unison with the music that she played, Then the scene changed to the dear old Winnie porch, onwhich two beautiful roses had been placed.. Peering down into their petals, I caught a glimpse of the vanishing faces of Zoe and Minnie Mae. As I turned to Rosa, her face took on a peculiar hue 5 and, when the trans- formation was complete, there stood a familiar basket-ball. ' Mr. Acree was almost hidden from my view by a bevy of girls : and when I could see him plainly, he vanished into a package of letters. Mr. Colie who was standing near him, began to speak 3 and as he disappeared, the echdeg of his voice sounded like the peals of the Chapel bell. After-these sounds had ceased, I looked at Helei ' . . seemed to fall on us all, for, in the place where tl1ey1sii1d2dJuyi,i1ii A binedlcmin gold the ieuers Y. w. c. A.

In Bertha's place I saw sines, cosines, tangents, cotangents, and other fond memories of Trig. 4 At first I thought that Grady was tossing balls about, but a closer inspection showed that they were hearts 5 Mamie seemed to be a hand outstretched to catch ' ook- the lost purse that ever eluded her grasp 5 and Annie M. became a busy b WOTII1. . .
