UNSOPHISTICATED.-VVhat course should you pursue when a girl says she is sweet six- teen and has never been kissed? It would be best to avoid a girl who would say such a commonplace thing, but if it should occur, there is only one thing to do-kiss her. SENIOR.--After the third introduction, it will be proper to speak to the freshman on the street, provided you gaze across the street while doing so. XVIT.1NSVCf tell jokes unless you are sure they are new. Nothing is a greater strain on friendship. RUSTIC.-I would not advise the use of a letter-writer. The more natural and simple a letter is the better. SPORT.-Shoes should be polished at least, once a month, whether they need it or not. Never wear red ties. AGATHERIDAN.-Do not say there is not no in a debate. Two negatives make an affirmative. . ' EROSOPHIAN.-Try to remember that there are other societies in school. Swellhead is very bad taste. INNOCENCE ABROAD.-When you receive an invitation containing the card of a young lady, it means that you are expected to escort the young lady to the entertainment. It is courte- ous to make a date in advance. '1'RIPLE-M1Nm5D.-It will be nearlyimpossible to keep in with all three of the youngladies' societies. Select one and stick to it. AMBITIOUS.-'IH order to be a favorite with the Faculty, arise cheerfully when called on, and look as if you know it all. Begin away back and tell something which is true and every- body knows, but does not bear on the subject. The instructor will then ask questions or make suggestions which will help you to make a touchdown. Attend the Schoolmasters' Club, affect athletics and ask questions. .

' 'Ask ilye Lady from Pl?iladeQ9Iyia' ' G. H.-Yes, there is a book entitled How to Be Happy, Though Married. Write to the Macmillan Publishing Company. SOPHOMORE.-I know of nothing that will really grow hair on a bald head. None of the remedies advertised are reliable. Try to be contented. Bald heads are honorable. FRESHMAN BOY.-You should be seen Cas little as possiblej and not heard. Look ahead! Next year you will be a sophomore-perhaps. FRESHMAN GIRL.-Artlessness and innocence will be very effective. Be absolutely igno- rant on all subjects, but constantly thirsting for information and assistance. Gaze adoringly up into the eyes of the senior and sophomore boys when they tell you things for the twentieth time and be profoundly grateful. Be eager and interested and astonished, and, above all, sweet and pretty. Don't study much g take campus. By following this course you may rea- sonably hope to be a great success. SOPHOMORE GlRl..'B6 absorbed in your work--for you won't get a chance to neglect it. PHYSICAL CULTURE GIRL.-For a broken heart, rise on your toes thirty times and touch the floor with your fingers. Dumb-bell exercises are also good. Repeat every night until permanently cured. SENIOR.-It is customary to wear dress suits, or Tuxedos and light trousers, to very for- mal afternoon receptions. A carriage will be necessary. AMATEUR.-YOU can not pick up acting. A course of training is absolutely essential, as well as some natural talent. ORATOR.-Of course there is no real harm in asking seven girls to go to an entertainment, but it should be done judiciously. The seventh is likely to be offended. OUTRAGEOUSPHLIRT.-Wait until the second call, at least, to tell the young girl that you love her, or attempt to hold her hand. OVERWORKED.'-YES, I know it is very difiicult to find time to study, but even fifteen minutes a day of hard work will accomplish wonders. Couldn't you rise a quarter of an hour earlier? DISCOURAGED.-Don't be devoted. Girls tire of devotion sooner than anything else. Assert your independence. Don't sit and gaze at her. She likes bright conversation better than the most adoring stare. N. C.-When you call at two o'clock, take your leave before the supper bell rings. ATHLETIC GIRL.-No, it is not good taste to kiss the members of the winning team-in public. Show your enthusiasm in some more conventional manner. VIOLET.--There is no set form for a reply to a note asking for an engagement. Say whatever seems natural. It is not necessary to thank a young man for taking you to an en- tertainment. Simply say that you have enjoyed it. TEASE.-It is not advisable to tell when a young man holds your hand.

Love and War In my room l Sl? and wonder On that rgvpllng UOIt'8 of thine: On the words you said so sadbf- Words that sound almost dlvlne, Yet that hold within their sweetness All the fatal spell of wzne. Though you preach agaznst ambztzon, Say the sting at last will come ,' Say that love alone endureth To the bright, Immortal home ,' That without It clouds will gather As around another Rome. Yet I believe that you were happy, That your wlll was not my own ,' For you bow to hfgher power, As our fathers to the throne. Though at first you dla' belleve It, You would not be queen alone. Soon you'd tzre of narrow kingdom And its small. enclrcllng bound. Though an empress of the emplre, You would long to be-uncrowned. And the ring of love-lorn music Be a sad and tzresome sound. For the object of devotion ls a soul beyond despazr, That can wander through the chaos And can flnd its cosmos there ,' That, In meeting .storms of battle, Finds them trU'les light as alr. Mnmanis love must have an object, And that object Somefhmg more Than the dung' distant echo Of the thought she's had before ,' Of the song her soul 13 srnging ln its chamber evermore. Deepest love must have some purpose Hld in future's distant dawn. lt must help our forward progress, lt must move the struggle on. Love must linger on attainment, And must dle, attainment gone. Struggle on, then, weary wanderen For your We and for your throne ,' Struggle through the weary marches, Though you struggle on alone ,' And wlthln the grand attainment Come at last unto your own.
