A Toast to the M. A. C. Girl. J0 ENNYSON wrote A Dream of Fair Women, immortalizing some of the fairest of the women of antiquity, but all the famous instances fall before the give of modern times. Eve tempted Adam; Helen plunged Greece into a bloody war; Delilah enfeebled Sampson; Circe attracted the wandering Ulysses; the Sirens lured the unsuspecting mariner to his doom. Men in all ages have been led to heights of fame or plunged to depths of degradation by woman, lovely woman. We ac- knowledge her power. We pay tributes to her majesty. We bow before her loveliness. She is the sun to light the day, the moon to shine by night. She is the center of our universe ; the tides of our emotion and aspirations ebb and flow in response to (he attractive force of femininity. For the secret of all mysteries, whether social, political, rehgious or criminal, the formula is now, as it has ever been, Cherchez vous la femme! Find the woman in the case! No one disputes her imperial and imperious rule. But we hold that the flower unsung by the poets, unnarrated by the historians, the Queen rose of the rosebud garden of the girls, bloometh in the bower of our Rossbourg Club. Here ' s to the girl of M. A. C. It m ay be that at times we may say. My only books were woman ' s looks and folly ' s all they taught me. But we do not long think so, for we know that the grandest thing under the sun is A perfect: woman, nobly planned. To warn, to comfort and command. She is a phantom of delight, A creature not too bright or good, For human nature ' s daily food, For transient sorrows, simple wiles. Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears and smiles. There may be others. All nations, all climes, boast of their women; but we toast the queen of all, the paragon of the world ' s gallery of beauty, the girl of M. A. C. and with the greatest of all poets we say, Age cannot wither her. Nor custom stale her infinite variety. GEO. L. WENTWORTH, ' 04. 16
