My Room T , 1. like it. Perhaps to an interior decorator it may not be all that it should be. In fact, it has no definite style, nor do the furnishings belong to any fixed period—one could not even say it was “done’ in a certain color; but for a’ that, it’s a cosy room. To begin with I have pictures—lovely ones. I think. A school group picture hangs to the right of my window, and two little maidens in dainty billowy skirts exchange “Confidences” on the other side. A water color of a scene in Rome hangs at the foot of my bed. also a wood¬ land scene, showing a lake inlet. This is a favorite for it reminds me of a lonely lake near Jasper where I spent last summer. And lastly is a picture of a beautiful little cottage by the sea. So by merely looking up from my interested perusal of Plutarch or Voltaire I can instantly be miles away, sailing on the sea in my ships, or back on the lake, or in Europe (which requires the most imagination, for I haven’t been there). Then my doors. I suppose you don’t know why I should like my doors? Well, they are covered up, that’s the reason. They have ever so many interesting things on them photographers of various shapes, sizes, and people; several calendars, just wee ones—one showing sheep in the highlands, another of a particularly appealing dog and his master. Oh yes. and one of a very Scottish looking gentleman. Mr. Cormack. taken at the Little Royal. I also tack my favorite Christmas cards on the doors; a beautiful little scene of Hawaiian sunset with two palm trees, and a mounted snap of “my beloved.’’ Now, to come down to earth -but not quite. A pair of skates has been lying hopefully in the corner all winter and adds materially to the decorative scheme—which is just as well, seeing they’re been tricked out of a winter this year. The bed is not unusual in the neatness of its “making” but oh, it’s comfortable to slide into just three hours later than the time you should be. And the desk, well, it would be all right if the books thereon didn’t keep reminding me of all I hadn’t done. Lastly, the dresser holds just lots of things—two clocks, neither of which go, and an unsual collection of articles that should be arranged tidily, but never are. There is usually a bottle of mucilage leaking into the jewel box, or an ink bottle on the mirror. Well now I have taken you a long journey around the world, or almost—return fare, please—back to chemistry and maths. Let’s see, is this equation balanced? Oh! this Math. —A.L.M. Gleaned From Examination Papers. When you breathe you inspire. When you do not breath you expire. An insect has three parts to its body, namely, thorax, abdomen and doxology. Figurative language is when you mean a rooster and say chandelier Chlorine is obtained from common salt by electrocution. Hydrogen may be obtained by applying a lighted taper to a jar inverted in water.
