The sacrifices have been many but we think if you will bring to mincl memories of your own college days, you will understand our motive in producing the best that is in our power. This booklet is a memento of our last year in school, whose joys we wish to share with you in the following pages. 6 ff Rams V - gferg T-Tiqfvlis-Fee? 1 4 f 45 . Board of Trustees Rev.

But, after undergoing the many tests of our mental strength, we were compelled to discard our brilliant adornments and settle down to a life of ambitious toil. Tasks, which, in their completion, gave one the sense of a conquerorg and when just praise was deservedly received, caused the heart to leap in proud gratification. Such praise was given to each diligent member of this illustrious class by our beloved instructors. ln a history of a class we attempt to sketch the life of the class from the time it emerges from the obscurity of the Freshman year on up to the day when its members say farewell to their Alma Mater. l will sum it up briefly. The events of the Freshman year of this class are in darkness. Not one of us are able to remember the happenings behind that veil which divided from the care- free life. The Sophomore year was one of deluded minds-each member thought she knew ten times more than she did. The junior year was the year of discoveries, we found out how much we knew. It was only one-tenth of the knowledge we were sure of in the Sophomore year. ln this, our Senior year, we are liable to many more discoveries. There may be in this class many concealed talents, which, if brought to light by some explorer of our innermost thoughts would startle the world with their brilliance. But even if there are no geniuses, there are some whose minds being carefully trained through all the years which led up to this, our senior year, are capable of promoting the welfare of the Nation by imparting their knowledge to Young America. Our greatest pleasure in our school-life has been in aiding our under-classmen in every way we were able and in helping them over many rough places with which we are familiar, having already encountered them, and we hope that they will in the future render the same services to their fellow-students. In this class of great ideas, it was thought necessary to procure a Pilot, Our Pilot has led us safely around many dangerous places and into the open sea where all is fair sailing. And did she desert you there? I hear you ask. No. She remained by us in all kinds of weather, fair or foul, she was ever ready to offer some kindly word of encouragement, or better still, a timely word of advice. And now as the last few days are here, there comes a mingled feeling of sadness and triumph. But let each one be up and awake to the opportunities of life and remembering our motto, Dux femina facti, be a credit to our Alma Mater. 24 I pq ,q f s PS1 -g-D-ij! Qfi:3 A 5 f Class Poem Dux femina facli, thus the ancient poet sang, And his words through all the ages have voiced the public mind, For men have ceased their warfare, and listened as his song Re-echoes long and sweetly, this praise of womankind. Z Woman has led in battle in the ancient days of yiore, And men have fought beneath her for just and worthy cause, Her prowess has been fruitful, and often has she won By labors, long and toilsome, the tribute of applause. But her sphere is not in battle, wrestling with men, Shedcling precious life-blood upon a field of woe: . She has made a home of beauty, and gathered round her there The things that make man happy, which only she can know. We find her now a sovereign, she rules, with hand of love, The world which she has conquered by that which makes her queen, Dux femina facii, the motto yet is true, And will be true forever, let what will intervene. Our college trains the woman for a leader of the deeds, And sends her out to conquer the evils of the world, To overcome its sorrows, and 'plant on high the Hag Of honor, truth, and justice, and keep it aye unfurled. 26 l T j a , 'Iv ff? K Cf And classmates, she has taught us, with never-tiring hand, The truths that make us women who are worthy of the name, That fit us for our life-work when we shall leave her walls To spread abroad her teachings, and so increase her fame. On this, her eighth commencement, we leave clear T. P. C.- N N32 We've toiled, and loved, and studied here for many happy years, And as we speak in broken tones our murmurings of farewell, There's just a touch of heart-ache, and just a bit of tears. For we love our Alma Mater, every corner, ever wall, Every classroom, every blackboard, every building, every bell, Her chapel, and her faculty, and it's human nature true To feel a tinge of sadness when we say the last farewell. As we stand' upon the threshold of the life that is to come, We long to do her justice, with our motto as a rule- We long to hear her say of us, when years have come and gone, The class of nineteen-ten has been an honor to the school. And now, we say good-bye to you, dear schoolmates, one and all, Dear teachers who have guided us, and loved us, and have been Our friends, we shall remember you, and as we say good-bye, We beg that you will not forget the class of nineteen-ten. -B.

Lest we violate this law of custom, we shall recount some facts concerning our illustrious class. U I It is with difficulty that we reach a state of condescension low enough to parley of our Freshman year. Suffice it to say that after a year of sighs and sobs, we Hung aside the swaddling clothes of Freshmen and donned garments suitable for a wise Sophomore. In our Sophomore year, we did not claim to know it all, nor do we now. Years of experience have taught us that 'we don't know all we do know 3 we only struggled with prisms, pyramids, and originals and to-day are sailing in the juniors subsiding sea, feeling our burdens slowly shifting from our shoulders. Here's hoping for them all to have been shifted when we reach that vast luxurious realm known only to a Senior. We have heard it rumored that we are the most conceited class in T. P. C. Now we will'not deny that, for we have the finest class ever classed and that is enough to be conceited over. Let others contend for the honor. The junior tests became to this class a mere jest: we have the banner of victory. Any adjective of happiness may be applied to us, for are we not known as the jolly Juniors?

I R22 2 g A Glimpse Into the Future ES, we were actually going to take the boat to see the Old World! After leaving New Orleans, with all the hustle and bustle of getting on board, we went out on deck. When we got into the Gulf, that vast body of water, it was a grand sight, but I had a longing for home. Soon I pulled .a steamer-letter from my pusre, which Florence had sent me to help pass away the time until we should stop at Charleston. It had been six years since Ilhad been with Floss in school at T. P. C., and she spoke of the jolly times we had together. She was the same old Flossie Claiborne, with her hair as pink as ever, and although she had not reached the height of her ambition, she had a one-karat, and, of course, I knew what would follow. We took a little run up to the capitol, and one day as our party was coming out of the mint, I noticed a certain touring car fly past, but thought no more of it. After a few minutes, the car circled around and stopped directly in front of us, and whom should I behold but Mabel Carwile. Oh, those sweet friendships made at college! Mabel told me that she was spending the summer with an aunt in Washington, was afterwards to take a trip to japan. In speaking of our dear old Soph class, I told Mabel she was traveling enough for the whole class, of which she was so fond. After other visits, we were really started from New York, and in a week we landed on English soil. From the British Isles to Deutschland, we moved to see new sights and make new discoveries. Ah! but my greatest discovery was while I was in Leipsic. Being a lover of music, I went to visit the famous conservatory, where I had longed to study. I was shown to the grand and immense concert hall, and there, who was practicing with her master for a concert but Olive Caldwell. She stopped, we greeted each other, and after a little chat, she played several numbers for me. She had' certainlv mastered her violin, and if anyone could make that instrument speak, it was she. It was her third year there and in two more she would receive her Sheepskin When we had made quite a stay in Germany, time called us to other parts of Europe. I had been told that one of my friends lived in Switzerland, and conse- quently, when we reached that flower garden of Europe, I was rather anxious to reach Lucerne. One morning I took a carriage and was driven to the address which I had been given some months before. When I was admitted. the same handsome Lucille came forward. We discussed the times when we were girls together, and some of the present. I-Ier husband was very much interested in the government affairs of his country and had a fine position. I was also invited to dinner that evening. At dinner there were two other guests, and as we talked and gave toasts, I enjoyed that toast best which we drank to the health of the Soph class of l9I0, and its officers. When I was alone again, I reviewed the past months, and thought how differ- ently our fates are steered from the course planned by us. Yes, but sometimes dreams come true! 38 ', V ,r ull' W W W X 2 f f QP X ff N A lx .. p wa W UPU' Ziff? n mf b W W 1,1 7517 5' -' W ,iw . 1-5 'vggw .fi -W- f :Ili ' MW 'I 1 x 9' My WNY' ' ff M- 1' I I , 'WW ' Mx I S NN ZW ' ' W W W ' Q H- .pi E E0 in ESHMAN 39 Qi?

Since that time two have been added to our number. ln March the president called a meeting, and we chose for our colors, red and black, and our flower, the red carnation. Altho, small we are in number, we ever keep in view our goal, and with our motto steadfastly in mind, Keep 'going, we press forward. We hope that the road will lead us to our Senior year, and that we, an unbroken number, may reap the harvest of the seeds sown in this our Freshman year. 42 ,ff fb i lxfd, .

After consulta- tion with the Secretary of Foreign Missions and with his hearty commen- dation of Miss Reed's work in Brazil, we took her school as our special object of work, and gave our circle her name. We pledged S50 per year to the work. ' Nearly seventeen years ago Miss Carrie Cunningham, sent by the church of Fulton, Mo., to the North Brazil mission field, was called home to heaven. In response to the call for someone to take up the work, Miss Eliza Reed, her friend, alumnae of the same school, and member of the same church, answered, Here am Ig send me. She went first to our school in Carrpinas, then later on the work was moved to Laveras. There she labored faithfully until moved by the committee to Pernambuco, then to Natal. ln her many years' work in Natal she prepared a class of young Brazilian girls for teaching. So well known has her work become that her pupils are in demand as teachers throughout North Brazil. A few years ago the committee decided to open again a school in the important city of Pernambuco. Miss Reed was called to the arduous work, and has built up there a school of sixty pupils in the face of bitter opposition from the native priests. Her work includes the care of the home, translating and preparing text-books, teach- ing, visiting, and nursing, etc. Truly a busy life for the Master. In I907 it was our privilege to have Miss Reed in the school for some months during a much-needed rest in her home-land. Under this inspiration the Circle awoke to a keener sense of their opportunity and pledged S100 to the work. We have been assigned the privilege of maintaining in Miss Reed's school one of the young women whom she is training for work in dark Brazil. f 84 Delphian X X JU SOQ ' NL -.1 S32 471 4 C Delphian Society Motto: Amicitia, Spes.

These by the five tribes, Seniors, Junius, Sophomorii, Freshmani and Everybodyelsia are inhabited. Altho between these tribes no civil strife there is, hostile relations with the A. C. tribe are established. The day following the ides of April, war was declared . About the third watch the tramp of the enemy was heard afar. Rapidly to our embankments they advanced and a fierce attack they made. The inhabitants, a formidable front presented, the right wing being headed by Dr. Evans, himself, A desperate encounter followed. It was difficult to tell which side had the advantage. It being impossible to keep the starving men in any kind of order, the line of battle was broken, and a hand to hand Cheart to heartl combat took place. After much sharp fighting, the Main Building was taken and the barbarous tribes, our walls, with shouts of victory, entered. Trumpets were sounded and these men marched forward. T. P. C. forces were beginning to looked fagged and worn, ammunition was running low, but the army was faithful and all remained until the last gun was fired. The piercing and despairing expressions of our men having been noticed, the leader of our forces approached, and thus spoke: Altho, we are under, barbarous and wild, we much the brave resistance of your army admired, you being willing, a treaty we will sign, these being the terms: That you will equally your affection with us to share, neither us to resist nor to repell. Lastly, that you each year to consent that to you, we should come and the walls with our triumph to re-echo make. Our leader these things having agreed, the opposed forces withdrew, many leaving wounded, but none to be slain. About midnight, our soldiers, having been greatly fatigued, for the night rested. During this time, on the camp grounds, a group of the A. cQ forces to have been seen. Shouts and song, the evening air filled, and as the last notes to be dying away, a mighty cry went up, and by the inhabitants oflT. P. C. a college yell, it was thought to be. 97 1 x -.

AYGX I X X if if t ISKS?g?, -l That Party at SnoWdome's ANDY, for pity's sake do get up off that Hoor and dry them dishes. The girl turned her head slowly and looked up with a bright smile. I'Ier black locks hung disorderly around her thin, elhsh face and her eyes, large and dark, held at once an expression of mischief and pathos. She lay at full length on the kitchen Hoor, her skimpy calico print disclosing a pair of trim little ankles and small feet, although encased in cowhide shoes, several sizes too large for herg a fashion book, dating back in the nineties, lay open before her. The pages crimped and torn, bore evidence of rough usage. In several places heads and arms had been supplied to the old style dresses by some skillful little artist. Here and there a pencil point marked the height of Mandy's enthusiasm. It was indeed an ancient book. The girl fingered it lovingly, regretful to leave her old companion. The dishes can wait, Aunt E.m', she said saucily. Aunt Em' dropped her rolling pin on the table with a clatter and turned fiercely upon her niece. ' None of your sass, Mandy Hephzilah Simpson. I won't have it. Them dishes have been standin' in that there sink a solid hour, a-waitin' to git dried, and now you can git right up from off that floor an' dry 'em. My old hickory aint worn out yet, let me tell you! I-Ier sharp little eyes penetrated Mandy's very soul and her still sharper tongue brought a sober expression to Mandy's sun-burned face. She closed the book with a deep lingering sigh and rose unwillingly to her feet. Scowling at the rows of innocent plates in the sink, she grabbed a towel from the rack and clutched a dish with fierce determination. When the stack of dishes grew less, she turned hesitatingly to her aunt. Presently she said: The Snowdome's is goin' to give a party next Tuesday night, Aunt Em'. Well, what of it? snapped the little woman. Nothin',-'cept-only I'm asked. Well, why shouldn't you be? The girl did not answer. She evidently had something on her mind. Once sheistarted to speak, but on a second thought refrained. Finally her aunt spoke again. Don't you want to go? Oh! Aunt Em', you know I do, and hesitatingly, but I ain't got nothin' to wear. Ain't got nothin' to wear! exclaimed the old lady, throwing up her hands. Saints preserve us! Where's that pretty pink alpacy I made you last spring? She demanded. , Why-why-it's-. I can't wear that Aunt Em'. The sleeves are so big an' baggy, an' the skirt's all warpy, she complained with a pitiful contraction of her lower lip. Besides it's so hot an prickly, I'd smoother in it. Aunt Em' listened to the catalogue of defects of the pink alpacy in horri- Hed surprise. When her niece had finished she fell back in the low kitchen chair and folded her hands decisively. Now, look-a-here, Mandy Hephzilah Simpson, you needn't begin to get any o' them new fangled ideas into your silly head. I spent a solid month a-trimmin' that dress with yaller beads an' a whole week a-sewin' lace on that there skirt an' here you go a-turnin' up your nose an a-sayin' it aint good enough- I didn't say 'twasn't good enough, Aunt Em'! said Mandy with a proud lift of her head. Now, you shut up! I ain't goin' to take no more back talk. If you go, you'll wear that pink alpacy. - l Then I'lI stay at home, cried Mandy, indignantly, I won't wear that horrid old thing. She dropped the dish-towel, ran forward and knelt before her aunt, winding a pair of strong young arms around her ample waist. Oh! Aunt E.m', you ddn't know how I want a new dress, one like Anna Mae Brown's, with tight sleeves an' low neck. Please, Aunt Em', may'nt I have one? she pleaded. Aunt Em' rose indignantly and unclasped the arms from around her waist. You heard what I said, didn't you? I ain't got money to spend on no such foolishness. Mandy sobbed aloud in her disappointment. ' U 'fShut up right this minute, Mandy. I won't have any of your carryings-on in my house. I says no, an' I mean no! and turning, she marched indignantly from the room. , 99 V fl as N fq 1 ' W S . el' C After supper the same evening, which occurred about five o'clock, as Miss Simpson went to bed early in order to save the extra expense of oil, Mandy was putting away the cups and saucers when her aunt came into the kitchen with a small pail of milk. i . l'll finish puttin' up the china, she announced, while you put on your bonnet an' run over to Miss Reynolds with this here pail of milk. Glad for a chance to escape the monotony of pots and kettles, Mandy hur- ried away for her sun-bonnet, resolving to drop it in a convenient bush out of sight of the house. When she returned, Miss Simpson put the pail into her hands with this precaution. An' don't you forgit to ask her to pay you a dime for it. Mandy had reached the lane behind the house when her aunt' called after her. Oh! Mandy, you might ask her how her turnips air gittin' along an' tell her mine's bigger'n hern. ' All right, shouted Mandy, and turning a corner in the lane she was lost to view. Free at last from ever hateful restriction, she dropped her bonnet, swung her pail merrily and started for the stile at the end of the lane. Suddenly she was arrested by the sound of footsteps and turning she found herself face to face with with joe Durfee. She stopped when she saw him. Her eyes dropped and a dusky flame of red crept up into her cheeks. He stood awkwardly before her, a tall and stalwart son of toil. His honest sun-burned face glowed with pleasant anticipation and his hands fumbled nervously with the gun he held. Finally he lifted his head and a pair of dark blue eyes looked steadily into two startled brown ones. He smiled. Where are you goin', Mandy? Oh! Why-er-over to Miss Renolds with a pail of milk, she answered timidly. He stepped gallantly forward and took the pail from her and they went over the stile together. On the way back, Joe, noting her silence, asked anxiously: ' What's the matter, Mandy? Nothin'. Tell me, Mandy, he begged. 1 Nothin'. He glanced down at her quicly and asked: C-oin' to Snowdome's party, aint you? I can't, I ain't got nothin' to wear. Why-why- he stammered. ' I ain't got nothin' to wear 'cept my old pink alpaca, burst out Mandy, no longer able to control her feelings, Han' l'll stay at home before l'll wear it. l look horrid in pink anyway. Tears dimmed her eyes and a lump in her throat choked her. She raised her hand to it vaguely. But you're just as pretty to me, no matter what you wear. Please go, won't you? It won't be a bit jolly without you. l can't, sobbed Mandy, I ain't got nothin' to wear. Little girl, his arm stole around her quivering shoulders, little girl, listen here. He raised her flushed tear-stained face in his great brown hand. Their eyes met- Mandy! you, Mandy! where be you? The spell slipped from her and she broke away from him, laughing teasingly. Aunt E'.m's callin' me. Good-bye, she said. When she had gone a few steps, she turned ancl looked back. He was stand- ing where she had left him, silent and downcast. Joel she called. He raised his head. Mebby l'll go. l'll try to anyway. And gaily kissing the tips of her fingers to him, she turned the bend in the lane. A few days later when Mandy's courage had risen considerably, she resolved to try again to make her aunt feel the necessity of a new dress to wear to the party at Snowdome's. So one evening as they sat down to supper she said, timidly: Aunt Em', l've two dollars an' five cents an' if you'll give me a dollar an' a half, l'll have enough to buy a dress and some trimmin', too. - h lMiss Simpson did not look up. Thanks for the taters, Mandy, she said s orty. A The disappointment on Mandy's face deepened into despair and when she knelt by her spotless little 'bed that night, she poured out her troubles before One ever ready to listen to our most humble wants. The days flew by and Mandy began to give up hope that something might turn up. Saturday morning, she brought the rug she was braiding down into the living room and sat by the window. The sun came out in all his splendor and crept 100 U C gffagsg Q NbE5v softly over the bent head, lit up the dark hair and fell in patches on the floor. Within hand's reach of theiwindow was a little rose tree in which a pair of robins were nesting. One long branch of it extended almost in at the open window. lt was spring now and the little nest in the rosetree had a wonderful secret in it which Master Robin was guarding jealously. Mandy's presence at the widow did not please him and hopping out on the branch, he twittered saucily at her. She did not raise her head but presently two large tears rolled down her cheek and dropped on the rug she was braiding. The door opened and Miss Simpson peeped ln. When she saw how her niece was employed, she looked pleased, for she fairly doted on braided rugs and she said, not unkindly, Brother Hanson is comin' to preach the Easter service, Mandy, an' as the parsonage is crowded l promised to have him here, so when you get that rug done, you can go up an' air the spare bed-room. Yes, Aunt Em, responded Mandy meekly, without glancing up from her work. U I guess she's feelin' blue 'bout wearin' her alpacy to Snowdome's. I know it's a heap too short and ain't just the latest style out, but I can't afford another dress for her this time o'year when there's so many house repairs to see to, reflected Miss Simpson as she hurried back to the kitchen to do her Sunday baking. How- ever, she softened slightly, and even went so far as to call to mind one certain time when she herself was just as anxious for a new dress and even refused to do her patch-work until her mother relented and bought the dress. Nevertheless she resolved that she would under no circumstances give in to Mandy and she felt sure that Mandy did not have the courage to rebel openly. As Mandy climbed the narrow little stairs to air the big front room which for the past ten years of her life, Miss Simpson had reserved for her guests, she pictured bitterly the coming event. A vision came before her as distinctly as if it were taking place. She saw the crowded hall, the merry dancers, the laughing girls, the pretty dresses. Oh! If she could only be there, and Tilly, she knew, would go. Tilly, with her white face, her yellow hair and simpering smile. But Tilly could dance like a fairy and Joe--would he dance with her? Of course he would, many times, too, she knew. She reached the top step at last and her feyes ' b f h r filled with tears as she reached out vaguely in search of the door kno o t e ron room. The warm sunshine fell shimmering over the faded carpet and filled the room with warmth and light. From the old cedar chest in the corner came faintly the ordor of roses. How pleasant it was in this quiet room! Down in the kitchen Mandy could hear her aunt singing lustily, an old-time hymn. Her voice rose and fell at- intervals as she marched among the rattling pots and pans. Mandy collapseid sz . in a little heap bv the bed Life was so hard and Aunt Em s rules were so ri 1 As she sat silentiand miserable, she felt a new strong thought stir within her. She would go in spite of everything. But how? She lifted her head ang her eyes . . . h t rested accidentally on the new Swiss curtains Miss Simpson had adorne er gues 0 1 A I chamber with the week before. Suddenly a bright idea popped into Man ys head. They would make a capital dress. There would be plengl of goodg, toozi ' ' ' . h l for the styles called for skimpy skirts and tight waists. She pondere it over ou she do it? What would Aunt Em' say? All fears left her when her body rose and her feet hurried over to the window. The material was fine ancL soft Eid a . . . .

She folded them up and opened the door. iss imp- son's song Hoated up to her in airy snatches: 'Tm the child of a King, the child of a King. I- ' Mandy tip-toed cautiously to her own little room and lifting the counterpane. laid the curtains gently beneath it. Then she ran back to the front room. It lookicl ' h lf 'th t bare indeed now that the curtains were gone, but Mandy consoled erse wi e thought that old Brother Hanson would not notice it. , After 'dinner Mandy put on her sunbonnet and started off for town. When she reached the front gate, her aunt who spied her from the window raised the sash and called. shrilly: Where are you goin' now, Mandy? The postoffice ain't open yet. I know, Aunt Em', answered Mandy, but l'm goin to stop at Nannie Smith's an' see if she has them sunflower seeds she promised me. Miss Simpson hesitated a moment, glanced sharply at her niece and pulled down the shade. ' Monday found Man y usy at wor . and over the floor of her room lay tell-tale scraps of the Swiss curtains. Mandy worked feverishly. At every slight noise, the creak of a loose board, the opening d b k on the wonderful dress On the bed 101 ffm rr ,r . it was Mb 4' g f V i,.Ii 4 mg L or shutting of a door, she started guiltily. By noon she had the skirt ready to try on, but she remembered that the potatoes had to be peeled and the milk brought up from the spring so she put her work away reluctantly. On her way back from the cooling house, half an hour later, she met her aunt on her way from the garden, her apron full of peas and beets. What have you been up to Mandy? You've been quiter'n a mous: up stairs by yourself. A crimson wave swept over Mandy's face but the lie came readily. Readin' that book Cousin Sue gave me, Aunt E.m'. The old lady gave her niece a quick look and grunted scornfully. You're just like your mother, always got your nose stuck in some old book, she exclaimed. l'm glad my mother raised me up to do the things the Almighty intended me to do. Readin' ain't lit for women folks. She delivered the vegetables to Mandy and hurried off to the barn in search of fresh eggs. The dress progressed rapidly under Mandy's skillful fingers. Tuesday morn- ing she rose bright and early, dressed hurriedly and after a hasty peep under the bed to see if her dress was still there. she tiptoed softly down stairs, resolving to have breakfast as early as possibly so as to have more time to devote to her dress-making. On the lioor near the cat hole lay a small package. Mandy picked it up and opened it hastily. A piece of paper Huttered to the fioor. She caught it up and read: Mandy, here is a piece of ribbon for your hair, wear it tonight please. JOE. Several yards of bright red ribbon lay open before her. She gave an exclama- tion of delight but hearing footsteps on the stairs she stuffed it in her dress and went about her work. Miss Simpson was amazed to find Mandy who loved to lie abed, up at four o'clock and still more amazed to hear her singing at the top of her shrill little voice. For l-leaven's sakes, Mandy! What's this new streak you've got, a-gittin' up so early? You surely must be up to somthin'. But Mandy protested indig- nantly that she wasn't, only tryin' to be good she said. Miss Simpson laughed, but she was pleased nevertheless. Late that afternoon the wonderful dress was linished and Mandy had not the slightest doubt that every eye would would be fixed on her when she came to the party that night. I'm a-goin', Joe, l'm a-goin', she whispered gleefully as- she pranced back and forth in frontlof her little mirror. After supper Mandy's excitement increased to such an extent that she could hardly carry the heavy tray of dishes into the kitchen. lf your're agoin' Mandy, I'lI wash up the dishes while you git ready, said Miss Simpson kindly and she added as she took the tray from Mandy, when you git your dress on, come down and I'll button you up, that is if you're goin'. All right, Aunt Em, called Mandy from the stairs. There she whispered to herself, lf l'm a-goin', if l'm a-goin, well, I guess I be! At last she was dressed and after a hasty peep into the mirror she slipped down and out at the side door. Miss Simpson drew a deep sigh of relief when the last dish was dried and put away. Then she suddenly remembered that Mandy had not come down to be buttoned. She went to the foot of the stairs and called: You, Mandy, come down and git buttoned or you'll be late for the party. No answer. She called again. Still no answer. She gave an impatient exclamation and started off up stairs. Mandy's door was a-jar. On the floor and bed lay the scraps and patterns she had forgotten to hide. A perplexed expression crossed Miss Simpson's face. She came forward and picking up a scrap from the floor, examined it intently. Sud- denly a suspicion entered her head. She rushed into the spare bedroom, clutching the scrap firmly in her hand. She opened the door and looked towards the windows. ltiwas growing dark fast but she saw very plainly that her Swiss curtains were gone. Then it all dawned upon her why Mandy had been so quiet for the past few days, why she had insisted on cleaning the spare room after Brother Hanson left, why-but she needed no more proof. It was plain enough that Mandy had stolen the new curtains and cut them up into a party dress. Her anger knew no bounds and it is not to be doubted that if Mandy had been present at that critical moment, she would have been whipped within an inch of her life. As it was Miss Simpson was obliged to wait and in consequence of the waiting, her temper diminished slightly. Down in the sitting room the big old fashioned clock was just striking eight. Four hours to wait! For once in her life Miss Simpson did a rash thing. She lighted a lamp and descended into the best parlor to wait Mandy's 102 C A f iz s :ttf La-1XS ?:2, if ,S S ' SA U . his 6 ,rl coming. She made up her mind that when she had finished with her niece, Mandy would never want a new party dress or even dare to think of it. Mandy was gettin' entirely too flip here lately and needed a tonin' down'. She would get it too, beyond a doubt. The room was very still. Out under the doorstep a frog croaked dismally. It was growing late and the air was chilly. Miss Simpson shivered and drew her shawl closer around her. Her fingers unoccupied, her mind traveled back to the time when Ruth came to live with her, a thin wistful face confronted her. the white folded hands, the silent lips. Miss Simpson glanced over toward the little rocker by the window. It seemed almost as if Ruth was there now. She used to sit in the dark little parlor, hours at a time, waiting, with patience heart-rending to see, for one who never came. Her unoccupied manner was maddening to Miss Simpson who used to exclaim, For I-Ieaven's sake, Ruth, do pick 'up your knittin', your're gettin' lazy these days. Even now she fancied she could see the bent head and quivering lips when she was reproac-hed for idleness. Then she remembered one day how the chair was empty. She could see Ruth's pleading eyes raised to her's. She could hear that low- quivering voice, saying, Take her Emma and be good to her for my sake, won't you? That was long ago, she knew, and now Mandy was growing into womanhood, tall and slim, with her father's great dark eyes and her mother's thin, delicate face. Did Mandy enjoy any recreation from her work? Were her opportuities equal to those around her? Miss Simpson questioned herself closely. Then she thought of how often she, herself, had been ashamed of Mandy's shabby shoes, her faded dresses and made-over hats, what would Ruth say to all this? She remembered too, the tidy little sum in the bank. Was there reason why it should not be, put to use? If she had any doubts on the matter in question, they left her now. I'm a selfish old woman, she whispered to herself, shivering in the cold night air. The lamp burnt low and the clock crept on towards twelve. Mandy would come then, she would not stay a moment after twelve. Mandy! whom she intended to punish severely. She recalled the great, wondering eyes raised to her's only a few hours ago, the quivering lips. What a world of love lay beneath the quiet little face if she only chose to possess it. And if I live I shall, she murmured. It's not too late to love her as I should. Then a peace she had not known in years came creeping over her. A peace which came to her ibut once before when she lay beside a tiny infant and knew that God had spared er. The clock struck twelve and soon after footsteps were heard on the gravel walk. A voice, low and kind, floated out to her. Good-night, little girl, and the quick response, Good-night, Joe. The door opened and Mandy rushed in. She stood for a moment, gazing in wonder at the light in the parlor, then running to her aunt, she knelt before her, crying: Oh! Aunt Em' I'm a wicked, wicked girl, ain't I? But I did so want a new dress-it was so hard! I'll get some new curtains just like them, Aunt Em', I will. I won't be bad any more, honest, I won't. A hot tear fell on Mandy's clasped hands. She looked up in surprise. O, Auntie! Don't cry, she pleaded, I'd rather you'd whip me. Then it was that Miss Simpson spoke. I ain't goin' to punish you child, she said softly. I ain't goin' to scold- but I am a-goin' to love you. And lifting the girl's flushed face in her toil-worn hands, she kissed her, not once, but many times. EDITH BORDEN. ju ef , lf! N il' f GH: Lv W lll ' 1-.a S-5 Xt a 103 as fs -.-ur egg s C l When lane Went to College V HE C-RAl'lAlVl'S were a large family of six children, two girls and foul boys and their mother, who lived in Kansas. Their house was about three miles from a little town! of about a thousand inhabitants, situated within twenty miles of Topeka, in the prairie land. Worth, as the little town was called, was a busy settlement of its size, and all its people and surrounding settlers were engaged in farming and wheat raising. At the time of my story, the year's crop had been nearly a complete failure on account of the drouth, and a great many people suffered from the lossy among the sufferers were the Grahams. Not only had they had misfortune with their crop but also a far greater one had befallen them-lVlr. Graham, the father of the family, had died, suddenly leaving them with comparatively nothing. Ever since her father's death, Betty, the older daughter, had been saving up money so she could send lane, the fifteen-year-old sister, to college, for as Betty said, although she was only eighteen, she was too old and settled in her ways even to begin studying and make anything of herself, but ,lane had worlds of talent in writing and greater than that, energy and perseverance. When Betty had announced to the family that she intended sending lane to college the following September, the one question, after the excitement had been overcome, was where should she go? Betty wanted her to go to school in Kansas. .lane would not, under any circumstances, go in Kansas. Mrs. Graham had an old school friend who was a teacher in a Texas college, and she thought it would be pleasant for ,lane to go there. lane was delighted with the idea, for as she said, I'll get to see a real cow-boy! The following day, Betty sent for the much-desired catalogue of T. P. College, Milford, Texas. While the catalogue was on its journey, lane spent five days of restless anticipation and longing for the book to arrive. Every day as Dick, her older brother, came from the village with the mail, he would see an eager, freckled face, little girl of Fifteen, perched upon the gate post which opened into a road leading from the house and thence to the village road, and he could imagine what she was waiting for. On the last day, Jane could stand it no longer and as Dick, in the big farm wagon, came in sight she lightly jumped from the post and ran down the road to meet him. , Before she reached the wagon, he, with a smiling face, held up a little package, Well, little Sis, l hope your pain is eased. Chl Dick, she exclaimed, has that darling thing at last come? With one bound she was up beside him in the big wagon seat and eagerly unwrapping the long-waited for catalogue. It is needless to say that Jane had devoured nearly all the information in that one book before she reached the house. ' Dick, said lane, l'm going to sit out here in the wood-shed and look over this dear book. No lane, you come right in the house and let Betty and Mother see it because they are just as anxious to see it as you are. lane's application was sent in about a week later and she was very much excited when the letter from the president of the college came and told her that she was to room with Gertrude Gray from Dallas, Texas. The remainder of the month of July and all of August were spent in preparing ,lane's wardrobe and as each new dress was finished, she would admire it and declare it was much prettier than the last. At last the day came when it was only one week until Jane should leave. She had just fully realized what it was going to mean to her to leave home, and while she was very happy over going, she had seen how hard it was going to be for her to leave all her dear family, as she had never been away from them more than two weeks in her life. The fateful day came when Jane was all dressed in her neat little black suit, holding her valise with a death-like grip, and standing on the platform of the station at Worth. Like all partings, it had been a sad one, with a great many kisses, hugs and tears bestowed uoon the departing girl. Dick had decided to go with her as far as Topeka and start her out safely on her long journey. l-le had wanted to go all the way with her but ,lane preferred to go alone and get broken in by herself. The trip from Topeka to Dallas, where she changed cars, was rather a long one--three days and nights: however jane found plenty to interest her as she watched 104 6 C i f he PT T-If Llsmgazl g 4-' C the different changes in the country, and spent most of her time in planning what she would do in T. P. C. and how she would write stories and be a great pride to her family and teachers. When she, at last, arrived in Dallas and hnally was safe on the train bound for Milford, she could hardly realize she was but a two hours' ride from the place where she had planned to become a genius. When she had gone but a few miles she heard three very nice looking girls, across the aisle from her, discussing school, how anxious they were to get back, see all the old girls and teachers and have another society meeting, etc., and from this she knew they were old T. P. C. girls going back to school. After mustering up a good deal of courage, she went over to the girls and introduced herself. They were all very nice to her and by the time the conductor yelled Mil-ford, she was acquainted with the girls, upon school and had promised to be a Philotesian. ' About a week later, Betty received the following letter: T. P. C., September 24, l9l2. My Dear Betty: This is the grandest place on earth and I'm so happy! Of course I got here 'safe andgsound' and had a delightful trip. At Dallas three nice girls came on the train and were lovely to me. They told me all about my room-mate, teachers, studies, and asked me to be a Philo, which I am proud to say, I already am. All the girls have not come yet, but so far, there are five hundred and there are certainly some pretty ones. My room-mate came the morning after I did and she is a dear-very pretty, smart, stylish, sweet and everything nice and I'm sure we shall be the best kind of friends. She has already asked me to spend Christmas in Dallas with her. We have fixed up our room, and it is really the cutest one on the hall. I am glad to say, matriculation and assignment of studies is all over, and l'm actually a Sophomore. fSo is my room-mate.J I shall write you a longer letter soon, but now must finish unpacking my trunk. Give worlds of love to all the family. As ever, your loving sister. JANE. Some months later, Dick was very much surprised and pleased when he received this letter: T. P. C. December, l0th, l9l2. Dear Old Dick: The bomb has exploded and my remains are here to tell the tale. Dr. White announced in the dining-room last night, that your own little jane had won the prize story for the Annual. I was happy when the Oracle accepted my first two stories, but to have the best story in the Annual-well, I'm so happy I can't write, that's all. Tell Mother and Betty and all to write to your lucky little Sis. JANE. -By Florence Claiborne. 9 Nfl 105 'Ik' A ,320 45.94 LPVI ORA Editor .......... ........ N elta Noble Exchange Editor .......
