It lias heeii pnniiuiiieeil es]ic eially this hist year, since our eiirolhiient ef two hnnili-e(l and ihii ' ty sfndents and a liheral athletic fee ha e enabled the Assuciatidii to do a j i-eat many things which a lack ol ' t ' limls, if not of enthusiasm, would have made im])o.ssihle. We think that Sweet Briar has never been lacking in athletic sjiirit, even with a coin])arati cly small number of students. Shortly after colleiie o])eiis in the fall, before any oi ' iiani .ed work in athletics is |)ossible, the temiis-conrts, ami the lake, foremost of all. are means of dis]ilayinii the summer tan. and the stiinls ' ac(|nii ' ed din-ini; the vacation. Perhajis a word of explaiialioii about ihe lake would be wise. t(j assiuige the anxiety o{ all nervous relatix ' cs. For beiiiiiners in the Fine Art ni ' Swimming, there is a so-called |ien. safely floorc l shoiilder-dee]). ami bordered around so th at the struggling, sjinttering no ice may ha -e fre(jnent recourse to the sides, and practice leg iiio ' enients with vei ' v satisfactoi-y results. In deeper water our athletic instructor rules, guiding more venturesome and stronger s])irits beside her boat to realms beyoml the dixing jdatfornis, which se])arate the width of the lake into thirds. An im]iortant e ' eiit of the fall is a swimming ciuitest. Fmluraiice and ra]iidity races, as w dl as dix ' ing competiti ins and ■■stunts. are indulged in. In fact, in the fall the lake is (piite ■ ' a la mode. with the latest Atlantii- City fidiled caps and |)iit(di boiiiiels of it-- more e. (diisi -e f riMpienters. We refuse to divulge the garb of the ' ■inlelleclual swimmei ' .

Xow it is beginning to grow colder and ll rgauizal ions arc well under way. There ai ' e rumors of matidi-games on the basket-ball field, and a general buzz (d ' e.xcitenient and anticipation hums iliroiiglioiil the corridors. . i last the fiiral (lav a l■ivl■ and ■■Arlilcl ics and •■(liaiits iramii, with measured and iiiiposinir step, past rlic redar vindl)rake In file Held of ' iet()l•v or De- feat. Midst a clatter of (diatiiiii-dish u ) and Hnfier of streamers, the teams iXn on the field, ' on can almost hear a leaf fall. Then, as score after score piles np for the Athletic ' s, ' yon can lieai- re-echo the helligereiit notes of oppos- iiifi ' rooters. There follows ancjther afternoon of tension — and N ' ietorv for the Giants. On the third day studies are cast to the winds and the entire college, grinds and all, turns ont as ])arti.sans in the canse of ••(liants or Athletics. ' The jtrac- tice games have liroiight forth the errant herd of loiterers, who mnnidi liook- Shoji crackers and Tea-IIonse dainties. They are .scarcely recognizahle as those heretofore indolent ami hlase nniidens. Their faces are red from the exertion of yelling, and their erstwhile hiscnited hair stands forth in challeng- ing i ' syches and careless jilaits. At last the whistle hlows and the game is called, just as the Giants are ahont to make a goal. Crestfallen countenances try to heam genenmsly at the victorious side, and succeed only in sick, half- hearted .smiles as they trudge hack to the dormitories. By tlinner time, however. ditlV ' rences are forgotten and the two teams feast side hy side in the refet ' toiy. There is superfluity of bestarched white skirts and shining faces, sujijiorted by uncomfortable stocks with white or blue ties. By this time the snow idouds are lowering and there are nightly surmi.ses as to the time and depth of the .snow. However, the weather-man is mistaken — a cold sua]) arrives and the lake is frozen I Kx])erts, beginners, and Southern girls who have never seen ice before, crunch along the frozen road through the ram-inhabited field to the lake, oft-times armed with cudgels to ward off the foe. The skating is excellent and the beginners are commencing to be intoxi- cated by the gliding movement over the ice, when the belated prophecy of the weather-man comes true and the ice is covered with snow. Now the crowd divides, half taking advantage of the brand-new flexible-fliers bought by the Association. The Apartment House hill is a mass of whizzing arins, legs and snow, with a medley of excited squeals. There are skating jiarties and bonfii-es after lights, and mysterious whis- ]ierings and cruuchiiigs in the moonlight as they return. The ice melts and the snow is gone. The gToimd is slushy — our dull sea- son has arrived. Galisthenics classes are organized, and drives and rides are resorted to. However, this is most fortunate, as it imidants dissatisfaction ill the lireasts of the iiiiijdi ' ify, iiiid makes tlieiii eaiier i ' ni- Field I)ay. with its iiard ]iraetice. and even for the traiiiiiiii tov the lay Day dances nii the ii ' i ' eeii.

The near-hy villages hear the ])ienMng Imrrahs at a hrokeii N ' assar record in the Hop, Step and Jnmp. There are liiu ' dle races and high jnmjis inv thuse df giratl ' e-like prii|icir- lions, and throws and shot-juits for those of more concentrated vitality. Lemon- ade ami sandwiches are served to refresh the hot ami e. cite(l crowd after the contests are o er. The record hreakers and makers are home away to rccei ' e the openly longed-for and secretly coveted S. IJ. ' s. Of conrse the inscrii.itioii of ■■Jiin Hayes name on tlie loving-cii]i is an annual occurrence. Now e -ervthiiig in Athletics in organized form has lieen completed ex- ce])t the tennis tournament. Attention is coiicentrati ' d on the evenly-matched games, and the girls saunter out in white, and gather in small groups under the gigantic cherry trees which o -ershadow the courts. The tournament lasts for a week, and at the end of that time the en ergetic victors in the various sports may rest on their laurels until the heginning of another college year.

There is a jiictnre of her stand- ing in the sunshine, ci-owned with white tlowers. one hand shading her laugh- ing face. When the ( ueen was I ' rowned and had niaile her speech to her subjects, she came down from her throne to dance a minuet with some of her courtiers on the grass. The ladies wore colonial costumes with panniers of pale blue. ]iiid . an l lavender, while the gentlemen were dressed in white with white stocks. After the winding of the May Pole came a little peasant dance, called the Ace of Diamonds. The dancei-s waited outside the box- circle until, at a signal, they darted between the bushes into the circle and danced to a gay. ski]i]iing tune, while they clapped their hands in time to the music. lay Day of nineteen hundred and nine was a lay of high, lilowing wind. The procession arrived, blown and breathless, in the garden, where the circle of tall box-bushes sheltere l from the wind. Josejihine Murray was the May Queen. She was a very cpieenly type, tall and fail ' , with blue eyes and great braids of flaxen hair wound about her head. After the crowning of the Queen and the dance around the May Pole, a herald announced that the i lay, Robin Hood, would be given in the dell, for the entertainment of the ( neen. This was the first outdoor play given at Sweet ]5riar. It is always associated in my mind wi th .Vs You Like It, because, except for jierformances on a square of turf with a background of brick buildings. Robin H 1 was the first outdoor play I had ever seen, an l As ' ou Like It was the most beautiful. The wind howled and whistled through the trees and the ]:erformers bad a hard struggle to make their voices carry against it n]) the hill, Imt the setting and action were as sylvan as could be desired.

The -winding (if tile May I ' nlc wa- the niily dance in the box-wood circle. In the dell the ■ ' .Masipic iif Flii vci-s was presented. It opened with a contest between Winter ai:d Sjiring. each claiming for its season the best sjiorts and the most enjoy- meni. Winter led on the God of Tobacco, Silemis, the God of Wine, and the .Morris I)ancers. Sjiring summoned the flowers, roses, daffodils, crocuses, and morniug-glorics. Tlic Flowci- danced on the hillside where their jietals showed as bright bits of color throngb a screen of liranches and green leaves. Lasl year, a trooji of Kate Greenaway children, in short-waisted dresses and cpiaint ca]is and bonnets, came into the box-wood circle with flowers in flieir aims as if they had just been Maying. As the ( )uecn, with her court, entered, they threw flowers in her jiath. singing: With roses, red roses. And lilies, white lilies veil ]:elr her with roses, we ' ll drop at her feet. The May ( )iieen and her court wore pale pink and carried ]iink roses. -Margaret Colili made a lovely and gracious Qneeii. Her sjieech had a dramatic qinility that gave you the im])ression of a royal and charming presence. After I he ceremonies of the Queen ' s crowning and the ilay Pole dance, the Romauut of the Rose was given in dances in the dell. The dell, with a rustic wall and gate, was the Garden of the Rose. The Dreamer entered it to encounter Ydelnesse, Gladnesse, Curtseye, Sir ilirthe and his crew, until the Queen Rose, with her conijiany of ro.ses, danced down the hill to the dell, where they swayed, retlected in the ])ool. The dancers wore Greek gowns of a color to symbolize the character each represented in the ] lay. Gladnesse wore yellow: Danger. liright scarlet: Curtseye was dressed in lavender, and ' ' deliiesse in jieacock- iiliie. while Sir lirthe wore a green costume covered with browni leaves. The Glee Club concert last year, instead of being given indoors as usual, was sung on the steps of Sweet Briar House, while the girls were dressed in their Kate Greenaway costumes. They sang spring songs in celebration of : Iav Dav. Sweet Bdav Sotuj Siiifi t(i Swccf l!ri;ii ' nii the caiiiinis, iiirls And hrcarhc it fo tlit- lake, .Shdiif across till ' iild arcades.

Sangre de Christol It is an evening lienedietion — this nmrmured name. There is a legend — a stoi-y of long ago — whieh tells of the eoming of the red sunset glow and li iw the range came to lie called Rhpod if Christ. When the only settlement consisted id ' a few small Spanish lints, there ( aiiic to dwell in Wet Mnniitain. a gringo. named .lose. He was a silent man, who took H|i his land and ran his cattle without a woi ' d for any one. The natix ' cs looked at liiin and woiidere(| whence he came, liiit they did little beside wonder, for nexcr a reason did lie give (d ' whence or why, His cattle, few in number, were run on a regular range, with only an occasional hand to help in the shoi-t drives. After he had been there a few years, he mai-ried a ])retty little half-breed, the only danghter of an exceedingly worthless father. By the time of his marriage to Jnanita his her l had increased to a thousand head, and he was considered the wealthiest man in the country. Every one expected that he would bnild a ]iernianeiit cal)iii. but never a log did he lay. He took his bride to the little dobie shack, which lie bad built when he first came. No one ipiite understood how the marriage had come about. One day Jose had ridden to the parish house and told the padre that on the morrow at early mass he would wed. The jiadre. astounded, asked no questions, aiid Jose volunteered no in- formation. The next morning Jose and Juanita were married, with no wit- nesses save the exceedingly worthless father and a few early worshippers. At the close of the ceremony (liefore driving away) Juanita had handed an envel- oj ' c to the ])adre. Ojiening if in the sacristy, before disrobing, he had found nothing liut a ]irint of the thorn-crowned heart, and writti ' U across the back, Pray for me. Two years passed. Many ]ieople came to the valley; civilization advanced, and Jose ' s herd grew larger and larger. Still he ]i ■ed in the little rlobie hut. and no one ever saw Juanita. In friith. few ]ieople had seen her since her marriage, and in the li ' vuwfli of tlic valley she had lioen hist fci immediate memory. Some one ocfasionally asketl Jose how his wife was, luif it was diily oecasionally, as .Tose was not over-cordial in eon ersatiiiii. One night in midwinter, so goes the tale, the jiadre licai ' d some one in the chnrch. Hastening nver from the parish honse, he was astcmndecl to see Jnanita, or rather a ghost of the fdrmer .Tnanita. kneeling liefcire the shrine of the Sacreil Heart. The sanetnarv lam]i cast a Ili(d ci-ing shadow (i er the woman liowed in silent ])rayer. .Iminita. my cdiild ! said the jiadre. With a mnrmiired ' Pray fni- nie, she tlitteil ildwn the aisle, and out of the liioi-. lloof-lieats sdnnded on the frozen ruad, and the padre, hastening after her, saw frum the (dnn-rli dddi ' a horse and rider going fnll speed over the snow-covei ' ed flats tnwards the hut ,.f .Tose. The next night at sunset the range took on a ]ieciiliar glow. A great, lilaek shadow of a cross, was distinctly seen njioii the snowy peak of ISlanca, and ahove it glowecl a ]inr]de-red heart crowned with thdrns. l verv (me saw it. It came and stayed, clear and distinct, nntil the shadows of nighi slinf it fi ' oni the eyes of the teri ' itied c inntrv folk. Later, when the moon came . a faint, rosy ghiw still shiiweil un the ] eak. and lieli w it conld he seen the hadiiw - outline of a cr iss. That night the ])adre, hastening nii a sick call, st(i|)iied in the idnircli for the Host. Kneeling hefure the shrine nf the Saci-eil Heart, he saw Jiumita. Witii a whis])ered Pray fur me she elncled him when he at- tempted to stop her. He hastened after her, Imt when he i ' ea(dieil ilie di ii- no living soul conld he seen on the snowy ])rairies.

For a time, the son of the House, yonnfi ' Dr. Sydney Fletcher. u fi it as a medical office, and his ])atients. not very many of them, I i;ather. came from ronml aliont, brnshed throiiii ' h the box-bnshes, and kimcked at the dunr nf the Little Honse, asking counsel. Dr. Sydney Fletcher soon left to ))ractice elsewhere, and then the IJttle House was rented ont, together with the overseer ' s lot, and a little ])iece at the lower edge of the orchard, to William Caiiltleld, a Scotchman. We wcmld like td assuciate the Little House more definitely with Mrs. Williams, and with Daisy. ()iie can easily see a iiaby-girl pecjiing through the box-bnshes and making rugni b eyes at her mammy; but it is only fancy. There is no record of tlie Little House heing used as i)lay-hoiise or nursery. and the only pietiires we lia -e of I )aisy are the grave, quiet little faces that look down at 11s from the walls of Sweet Briar Llonse. When the sad time came to Sweet Briar, when l Irs. Williams, widowed, childless, heartbroken, was alone in Sweet Briar ILmse. it was the Little Hottse that stood between her and (■(]ni) lete isolation. The Little House was let to Frank Farrer and his sister, and to them ■■.Miss Indie owed many acts of kindness in the desolate days. It was Mr. Frank Farrer who first found the body of Irs. Williams lying ilead in Daisy ' s room. When the fondest wish of .Mrs. Williams was realizi ' d. aii l the college which she so earnestly desired to found in memory of her daughter was opened, the ehai-actei ' of the Little Iloii e t-haiiged with the changed character of the estate. The outside was altered somewhat, and inside it was fitted up as a tiny infirmary foi- contagious eases, ilodern plumbing was introduced, and a simjile hosjiital e(pii]inient, while modern philanthrojiy was (|iiit( ' outdone by the great bushes of syi-inga and nf .Tai)anese quince that nodded at the windows. In s]iite of these inducements no patients a]i])eared. So the Little House ada])ted itself again to the grow- ing needs of the ( lllege. The music depart- niont o rrtlii v(Ml its bunndarics. Pianos were lirnught in. ;iiiil ihc jiasscrs-liy licard music — OI-. at least, music in the making — issuing fnim indusiriiin fingers. The ne.xt year lii ' iiuglit i;e v hnildinas ar l new music rooms, but iKi new patieiifs: ii lnnkeil as if the Little ame the Tea-I buise phin ! House was to stand idle. ORKII.X OF THE TKA-llorSE We can hardly give a single object tor the Tea-llnusc. Tt was drawn into existence by a four-in-hand motive, each doing its part. There was the vigor- ous afternoon exercise, on foot or horseback, with oar or tenuis racquet; the raxi.-iious young ajipetite resulting therefrom, and the long, long, year-hmg wait, till si. -o clock dinner. There was the connnissary, smiled on by students and frowned on by the Physician; with its stale cake and candy id ' uncertain an- cestry; with its one fin cup, which sei ' -e(l sfi ' ange coiicucfions called soft drinks, ' and which passed from lip to li|i in true lo ing-cup fashion. There was the Domestic Science De])arfment with scientific icws id ' nutrition and symjiathetic views of youth. ] ast but not least, there was an academic moti e. The Tea-House should lie instrumental in developing higher education. This was the plan: The Little House, in its new cajiacity, shmdil sell cakes and ale ( liiiine-made cake and unimpeachable ging(M ' ale) to the students, and the |)roceeds were to found a sidmlarship at college. IIISTOHY OF THE ' FEA lorsE ( )u an early day in the spring of P.IOS, the Tea-llou.sc held it opening receji- tion. The daffodils had bloomed in Sweet Eriar garden, and the Little House fairly lilossonied with them. A cold IMarch wind ilro -e the guests from the porche s. They gathered round the leaping yellow of the flames in the big fireplace, and ate golden s])onge-cake and orange-ice. and each one carried away a Huff ' v Easfei ' chicken as a souvenii-. 98 Ki ' oiii tlii ' ii till .Tunc, rile Faculty kept tlic Tea-llonse open twice a week. Kach (le])ai ' tiiicnt served in ini-n. l cn the Medical Dopai ' tnieiit relaxed, and sii])]ilied the stndciits witli thcif special ilclicacy. home-made ice cream and soda water, which snr])assed, so thev said, even that of the driit! stores in l ynchbtirsi ' . These were the social days of the Tea-Honse. Faculty and students froliced to- gether like one liig family, some- times indoors, round the o])en tire; oftener on the o|)en porcdies. nnder the hlossoniini;- syringa. with ice cream in the forcgrotnid ainl Bine Iiidge in the distance. The ' fall of 1!M)S tomid Tea-IIou.se an assured success. had outgrown the Faculty and requii became a Board of Control, and li Hons( ih, the It the services of an ex|)ert. The Founders Carroll took the ))ostoffice and the Tea- into her ca|)ahle hands. The Tea-House enlarged its activities and gave a Holiday Sale of things to eat an d things to wear. This has liecome a yearly custom, and helps to solve the ( ' hristmas-))resent problem for the students. We need not follow the fortunes of the Tea-House in further detail. Tt has been in various hands, but always it has grown, steadily and surely, until now it is an important part of the social life of Sweet Briar. The Tea-Honse takes orders for all the ])arties given at Sweet Briar, from the stately class dinner to a Bowery frolic, and from the box-bushes goes foi-th a long procession of birthday cakes. It is credibly as.serted that one year there were two hundred and fifteen birthdays, each with cake and candle, among one Inmdred and ninety-two students. The Scholarshi]i Fund is iirowing. The Little House is a ])art of the new life — as it was ])art of the old.

An ' there it wuz. settin ' rio-ht out here, an we didn ' t ha e no more n e of thi- pondi to set on. But Ezra was so ])]eased I ' Ev ' ry one who rides liy will see it, ' says he. an ' they ' ll know we ' ve g ' ot one. ' ' They ' ll know it all riuht I ' says 1. witli ' n awfnl feeliu ' of what wuz comin . Well, the cdnlfouier came out from town, an ' he an ' Ezra i;ot out an went U]1 an ' down tlie road a-tootin ' an ' a-s(|uawkin ' .

Tn a few days l ,zra said he could run it himself, an ' let the diitt ' onier ixo. ' We ll yo to church next Sninlay in the machine. says he. it ' ll take half ' n hour, ' stead of tw(j to iiet there. ' ' T o you mean to say. Ezra Martin, that you ' d tak( out that saerileg ' ious machine on .Sunday l)oesn t the liilile says, Uememher the Sabbath day to keei) it holy ( The Scriptures wouldn ' t ' How any such nurio-htpous nuiehin ' rv as that o ' yourn. It ' s bad nouii-h on week days, but on Sunday it is — ' an ' I wuz that overcome I c(.uld ' t speak no more. ' Well. ' says Kzra. sliee|iishdike. ' it ' s too bad you feel that way. 1 ha -e sold Xellie, so T ' s]frt we ' ll i;o in the auto or walk. ' T almost ci-eame(| : ' 1 ain ' t missed meelin ' in twenty years, ' says T, ' an ' 1 can ' t beain now. ' Then come inl(p ihe auto! says Ezra. ' Xeverl savs I. like thev do on the slase. 103 ■■I ' .iit wlicii miiriiln ' came I thought what Sallie Smith would say when she saw I wiizn ' t at iiieetin . An then I couldn ' t bear to think of Ezra startin ' off in that machine withouten me to ])r ' tect hini. Sn I prayed the Lord to for- give me, an ' said I ' d go. I ]iiii oil the children ' s Sunday hats an ' we all climbed into the auto; me in front, an all the children shut uj) in the back. The back seemed safest, as there wuz least smell an ' noise there. Ezra got out an ' turned somethin ' that looked like the handle of an ice-cream freezer, an ' the thing began to bounce an ' shake an ' make a terrible fuss! ' Oh! it ' s explodin ' ! says T. ' Sh ! ' says he, ' it ' s only startin ' . ' ' Startin ' to explode! I feel it! ' says 1; an 1 wuz jus ' gettin ' out when he jumped in beside me. ami ])tdled somethin ' an ' turned somethin ' else, an ' the thing started. My heart was beatin ' two-forty. I knew no good would come o ' such goin ' s-on on Sunday. If the thing had been a decent black, it wouldn ' t ' a ' been so bad, Imt a red machine on the Sabbath! I ' d as soon ' a ' been in a circus procession. Well. Ezra was a twistiu an ' tiirnin ' the wheel for dear life, an ' we sailed out o the yard without hittin ' anything. The road was straight an ' smooth an ' things went better at first than 1 spected. But punishment always catcher up with them who l)reak the Sabliath. Suddenly Ezra sat u]i very straight. ' Darn ! ' says he. Well, liss Clifton, as you may know, my hu lian(l ain ' t a swearin man — if he wuz I wouldn ' t a married him. Swearin ' an ' smokin ' is two sins in men in which I say there ain ' t no ' sense for. I wuz too shocked to s])eak. So I looked from Ezra to the road — an ' I didn ' t see no road. There wuz oidy cows all round ns. an more coniin out of a barn. Ezra tooted the .squawker. an then those that wuz at the side o the road rushed down into the road, too. An ' there they wuz, a-pushin ' an ' runnin Ezra jus ' makin ' the Ezra, she ' s maclune crawl. Then she sto]iped -. l]ut ;;-et out I (■ didn ' t answer : the wav.

' ■ I don t pprove o gettin to church before service begins. says Ezra with his eye on the wheel. ' 1 go for the sermon, an ' not to gossip beforehand.

' Let ' s go on I says I tu Ezra, liefdre that niiirderer shoots again. ' Wonniii, says he. ' we can ' t; the tire ' s liivike. ' ' So that ' s what he aimed at I says I. -He has shot the nuichine. an ' now he ' ll come an ' shoot ns an onr little ones, one hy one. when we can t sca]ie, an ' I began to scream for help. ' Jemima 1 says Ezra. ' don t he a fool. That noise warn t no shot. It wuz a hlow-uiit. ' A what r says I. ' The tire blew ont, says he. ' Yes, ' says I.
