When the curtain parted it revealed a softly-lighted artist ' s studio with groups of beautiful statues. De Lip- kau is near painting a portrait of the fashionable society belle Jeannette Horton, who is in love with him, but he, having put his very soul into his painting of ' ' La Belle Parisienne, ' ' is deceived into believing himself in love with the subject which has been his ideal, and only when she is brought to life does he discover her personality and comes to appreciate bis true love Jeannette. The performance closed with class songs and God Save the King.

22 VOX COLLEGII WHAT SO RARE AS A DAY IN JUNE ? June has come with its final exams, commencement week, graduation exer- cises and the last goodbyes on the morning of the 23rd. The goodbyes are hard, aren ' t they, girls, even though we have looked forward so eagerly to closing ? For some it means the end of school days — the happy care-free time of life, and June 23rd with its goodbyes is touched with sadness for them. We are proud of our 1914 Sen- iors,— they have indeed been a credit to their Alma Mater, and they leave with our love and good wishes. What our Seniors have accomplished through hard and faithful work should be an mspiration to each of us. Their train- ing at College, the difficulties they have conquered, fit them ' ' to breathe the world thought and do the world deed. ' ' I think the motto of our grad- uates, although unexpressed, may be : To be alive in such ati age- To live to it. To give to it ! COLLEGE FRIENDSHIPS, The word ' ' friendships brings to the mind of each of us happy associations of College days. Unfortunate indeed is the girl who has not felt the joy, . the rich content one experiences in the miracle of friendship. For it is a mir- acle,— this wonderful thing called friendship. Friends are born not made. We find it hard to tell how these friendships began. They came through no effort of ours, but they have become part of our lives and we just accept them with sweet content and glad confidence. Many of the greatest and noblest friendships have been made at College. Here we come in contact with those who are congen- ial, those whose tastes resemble ours, who have the same ambitions and as- pirations. These friendships may have been an education in themselves for ex- change of thought, and the practice of expressing oneself to one ' s friends is of benefit intellectually. There mav be many of these congenial spirits a- mong our college acquaintances whom we like to call friends, but there can only be one or two in the inner circle of friendship— of the David and Jon- athan type. Hugh Black, in his charm- ing little book on friendships, writes very beautifully about this typical friendship, (David and Jonathan) — They met, and at the meeting knew each other to be nearer than kindred. By subtle affinity they felt that they belonged to each, other. Out of all the chaos of the time and the disorder of
