The Sena- tor was more than middle-aged and considerably more than fat, and, dearly as the Major loved him, he also loved his joke. - The Senator turned with a pleased expression on his benign countenance and said: Major, did you see -that pretty girl smile at me? b Oh, that's nothing, replied his friend. The first time I saw you I laughed out loud! - Most of us think we will leave a big hole -behind us when we go, but lt's just like taking your thumb out of a bowl of soup. There isn't even a dent. If you think you are the whole thing, perhaps you are wholly mls- taken. 13

Different members have helped the cause along by the sale of groceries. In April, a moving picture reel, The Hound ot the Baskervilles, was given in Armory Hall, and quite a sum was realizeds In May a doughnut sale was held in Ames store by some of the girls. This, also, was quite a financial suc- cess. In addition, the Club held a dance in Assembly hall, which was a social success. There is a Plan to have a barn party, ln the near future at the home of Miss Eva MacAnany, Dunck- lee avenue. These things look hope- ful for the Club and it ls earnestly hoped that all who can will help to carry out the plan of the workers. Kerwin in French-Savez-vous Qu'il pleut?

Heard in English. Well Silas Marner didn't have any early life any- way. . One day in Latin Hamill told us of some of Caesar's conquered people who implored with their hands. We certainly think Carol had tried to copy them, for he and Keenan have a won- derful sign language. Stevens seems to be really inter- ested in high class poetry. One day he quoted one of his favorites in our English class. In summer when the breezes Blows through the treeses, Tl1en's when the heses Walk with the sheses. Keenan seems to have a vision of his own of Anthony's famous speech. Anthony says that Caesar was am- bitious and Antony was an honorable man and so on until our English teacher tired of Antony's praises for himself. Heard in French. Louis XIII. was crowned in the days of Noah. Why was Miss S- spellbound when asked the kind of nouns? Why may- be she recalled a little incident in English that morning when she illus- trated the diierence in abstracted and concreted nouns.
