West Night High, The Class History W, .-L C. ,10 HERE is born with every one, so it seems a desire to seek beyond the bounds of our environment. This is but faintly felt at first, an impulse that is not clear, making us creatures of varied natures, according to the influences which are brought to bear upon us. Then our natures broaden, new forms and fancies struggle to express themselves, a larger vision is unfolded to us, and who can say that any one has never felt the desire to seach out those things that shall bring to us something better than we have yet attained. the desire to achieve greater success, to command a higher place among our fellows and make our influence more strongly felt. Such is the feeling that has caused us to strive harder to master those things we have come in contact with along the way, and as the love of success is strong with us all, We hope that all that has been accomplished has been successfully done and with much profit to us. It was with a feeling of hesitancy that we approached the beginning of our work, and the ultimate end and goal of our ambitions was not at all clear that the numerous branches of study It is possible that at that time we did not wholly realize just how much elTurt and hard work was necessary to a successful ac- complishment of all, but each succeeding year, with the inspiration of things accomplished and the knowl- edge that waiting to guide us to a most successful end of all our efforts, was the school faculty, which has proven to be individually and collectively to us in our four years, a wonderful source of help and strength. We believe that to them, in the unfolding to us each succeeding year, the stores of knowledge we gained much that caused us to more readily and gladly continue the studies which we had chosen. In the pursuit of learning, an early acquaintance was made with Algebra and shortly afterwards with Geometry. Many were the perplexing problems that we met with, causing untold disturbance to 0111' state of mind and much toil to grasp their intricaties. But with perserverence these mazes of mathematics were made clear to us and it was with a feeling of relief that the end was reached. The field of literature, always abundantly filled with Choice and wholesome works by men whose expressions made at times long ago upon the world are still felt, afforded us numerous opportunities for a Cleaner knowledge of the good that books contain, we can all most gladly profess that the hours spent thus, will remain among those we like most to recall, and which mean most to us. But tonight at the close of our work, we feel that each of our studies was necessary to make the whole of them, a delight to us, and that in having explored the side-paths, and the main branches of study, we have become richer in experience, and of a greater and better development. And also quite clearly know, that this has been just the beginning, that life is ever an education to us, and that to take a prominent place among the men of today we must be ever learning new things and struggle each day to be better men and women. 25 NAME CLINTON STAATs.

Hi HERMAN POSSIBILITY T is a glorious night. One hundred graduates are launching their hopes upon it .xea of dreams- dreams of happiness, dreams of achievement, dreams. of fame. Not a Senior but hopes and believes that he will be of use to the world Are they idle dreams? Are such hopes to he smiled at? No! These dreams will one day be reality. They are the presentiments ol the future. In an age when the lightning flash is subdued, when space is annihilated antl one converges with a friend thousands of miles away, when the voices of these long since dead are reproduced by small instrument, when man, like jupiter of old, grasps the thunder bolts, throws them into space and bids them carry messages to lar off shores, when light is made to penetrate the human body and give an exact photograph of the human skeleton, when the Very air we breath is reduced to a liquid of intensest colclein such an age what things are impossible, what dreams absurd? Three hundred years ago the greatest of dramatists could say, What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason; how inhnate in faculties! In form and movement, how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a Godf But now, in the early morning of the Twentieth Century, man uieltls more power than was even attributed by the ancient Grecians to their god'si How has he acquired this power? Simply by dreaming? No. More than dreams were necessary. And so it is with the graduates. They dream great dreams, see great visions, but they know that more is necessary for the realization of their hopes. They believe with Napoleon, that Providence lights on the side of the strongest battalions, 'tGod helpg those that help themselves? They will not be content to wait until opportunities Come to them, It hate been said, though not exactly in these words, that waiting for things to happen is waiting for moonebeams to turn into silver. Do nothing and nothing is the product. Multiply even billion by a naught and a naught is the result. Three key words unlock the secret of their future achievementsiLabor, Energy. Will. No great product is spontaneous. Webster's hnest outbursts of eloquence were carefully polished in his study. Patrick Henryts immortal speech in the Virginia House of Delegates was not only carefully composed but the very gestures were studied and practiced. Coupled with Labor is Energy. Energy took Columbus to America. Energy is the word which explains the marvelous career of Napoleon. His motto was, ttI press on. When told that the Alps stood in his way. he cried, HThen there shall be no Alps,H and the road across the Sunplon Pass was the result. But Labor and Energy are both eclipsed by the power of the Willi The men that rise are those who will to rise. We have been taught to look over the events of history and have learned who caused them. Men of will. We have been taught that there is no mystery about fortune. Nature gives it to him who wills. Two young men, students of Yale. were one day discussing their future when one of them declared he would be a member of Congress within six yeurx. The other laughed. Within six years this young man, John C. Calhoun became a member of Congresst '37 We all know what Samuel Morse accomplished, but how many know of his twelve years of labor; 0f the scorn of his fellow men; of his fruitless journey to Europe; of his poverty, his efforts to prevent the theft of his invention; of his oft repeated and oft denied prayer of Congress for aid; of the appropriation of $30,000 given largely to stop his begging; of his almost failure and thenethen the splendid triumph. A similar story could be told of Cyrus W. Field, and a thousand others. And what do these achieve- ments prove? They prove the truth of the old saying that, Where there is a will, there is a way. In tense desire transforms possibility into reality. It is related of Napoleon that when a young officer, he used to walk about in his room exclaiming, 'tI will be a marshal of France and a great general. He be- came both. He regarded nothing as impUSSible. His marvelous victories were due not more to his vast military genius than to his almost superhuman strength of will. ttlmpossible, said he, l'is a Word only to be found in the dictionary of fools. And again he said, K The truest wisdom is a resolute determination. HWhen William Lloyd Garrison commenced the publication of the Liberator, he began with these oft quoted words, til am in earnestul will not equivocate-I will not excuse-iand I will be heard. He has been heardiyou know the result, In the vocabularies of great men there is no such word as Hfail. lmpossibilities sovcalled are laughed to scorn ttlmpossible exclaimed Mirabeau, Htallz. not to me of that block-head of a word 5 Impossible. exclaimed the elder Pitt. I trample upon impossibilities. It is this solid faith in one's mission that marks the heroic spirit, tiPeople do not lack strength, they lack will, said Victor Hugo. Every man stamps his own value upon himself, and We are great or little according to our own will. l'I canlt, it is impossible, said a lieutenant t0 Alexandra, after failing to take a stronghold. Begone, thundered the great Macedonian, itthere is nothing impossible to him Who will try.H At fifty years of age, Sir Walter Scott owed more than $600,000. He determined that every dollar should be paid. Every nerve and fibre said, The debt must be paid, and it was. t'Nothing is impossible to the man Who can will,H said Mirabeau. HThe iron will of one strong heart. Shall make a thousand quail said the poet. The education of the will is the object of our existence, said Emerson. ttInvincible determination is one of the levers that move the world.H Let us not be understood as saying that there are no limits to the power of will. 0n the contrary we must admit that there are limitations which no amount of industry Can overcome. But nearly all great men, those who have towered high above their fellows, have been remarkable above all things else for their strength of will. So, my Classmates, dream on. You dream n0 idle dreams. Say with Burns: ttCome, fair Resolve, take thou the van, Thou stalk of earle-hemp in man. And you, my friends, chide not these fair visionaries. You will be proud of them in thecomingyears, They have resolutions; who shall place limits to their careers? 28 Class Essay MISS ROSE DUCKEN OPTIMISM HE mind is a monarch, and it can make its kingdom either a heaven of happiness or a hades of torture. Happiness is within us, if we respond to its call, and it is ever importuning us, no matter what our circumstances. It visits the hovel as well as the mansion, and abides with the poor as well as the rich, We ran be happy if we will. The world, after all, is just as we make it. A man when asked for a definition of an optimist said, An optimist is one who is happy when he is miserable, and he added by way of a contrast, HA pessimist is one who is miserable when he is happy. Certainly by most of us, happiness is regarded as the proper end of all earthly enterprises. No matter how dull, or how wise. or how mean a man may be, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right. How can we learn to be optimistic if we are not 50? Only by contrast with evil can we learn to feel the beauty of truth, of love and of goodness. A man must understand evil and be acquainted with sorrow before he can write himself an optimist and expect others to believe that he has reason for the faith that is in him. For the reason that we come in contact with evil, we should be stronger in our optimism? In his uGoblet of Life, the poet, Longfellow, brings out the idea that he whose life has not been overflowing with sorrow has not learned to live, The struggle Which evil necessitates is one of the greatest of our blessings. It makes us strong, patient, helpful men and women It lets us. into the soul of things and teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. One's optimism then, does not rest on absence of evil, but in a glad belief in the preponderance of good and that it will prevail. We should try to increase the power God has given to us to see the best in everything and everyone and to make that BEST a part of our life. One should not be discouraged by the absence of good and never be persuaded into yielding to hopelessness. Doubt and mistrust are the mere panics 0f timid imaginations, which the steadfast heart will conquer and the large mind transcend. We should look forward with quickening heart and bright anticipation to what the future holds in store for us. Even if our share of work is limited by some cause which cannot be remedied, the fact that it is work makes it precious. The desire and will to work is optimism itself If we long to accomplish a great and noble task and it is beyond our limit, our chief dutyandjoy should be to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The doing of humble things 0ft ennobles the thing done. 29 In literature, philosophy, religion and history we hnd the mighty witnesses of optimism. All the world's great philosophers have been lovers of God and believers in marfs inner goodness The highest thinkers of the ages. the prophets of the tribes and nations have been optimists. 4 , - The story of man's slow ascent from savagery through harbarism and self-mastery t0 Ciwhzatlon is the embodiment of the spirit of optimism! HAmerica and Optimism are synonyms. . Behold what America has done to lesson the suffering and restore the aincted to society, given slght t0 the fingers of the blind, language to the lips of the dumb. Take for example, Helen Keller, stricken deaf, dumb and blind. With that indefmable quality called grit and invincible determination, she has made herself one of the best educated Women in America and her optimism is cheering millions. ttIf you strike a thorn or rose, Keep aegoing; If it rains or if it snou'h. Keep a-going; ,Taint no use to sit and whine If the fish aint on your line, Bait your hook and try again; Keep aegoing. But where shall we find optimism? Where is it? Where is it? It is about us. It is a part of us. We see daily displays of it, Some of us even possess it and yet do not put it to the proper use. It is so easy to obtain, 50 easy to acquire, but still so few own it and still fewer use it. What does it mean? Let it be repeated that it means the desire to labor, it means unswerving diligence, it means steady and persistent toil. Without application, without arduous labor, what man has become great, what man has succeeded? Uneontroilable ambition was the cause which led Caesar t0 the foot of Pompey's statue and Napoleon to St, Helena. 'tAmbition is the embodiment of the devil and angel in one Thus we might discuss other forces that operate upon human conduct, Love, Fear, Hope, but high above and overtopping all, is Optimismgthe mainspring Of them all. It is to the rest as printing is to the arts, the art preservative of all arts. Optimism is that condition of mind which impels one to seek the bust and minimize that box! when such is attained, It might well be epitomized into the following: HGood, better, best, Let us never rest. Till our good is Pll'ttt'l', And our brttcr, best. 30 Its claims to the First place amongst the forces impelling men onward and upward are based upon the following: In the first place, it is the basis of all true happiness in that it produces that satisfactory and health- ful unrest which urges to higher and nobler achievements. No discouragement can possibly exist in an atmosphere of optimism. The most miserable creature to himself or to his comrades is one over whom the pall 0f discouragement has fallen. This condition is so foreign to optimism that it vanishes at its ap- proach. The world of optimism has no place for those whose practice is to throw cold water. In the second place. it is the basis of all real onward movement in the physical world It is the one thing which makes progress in this department of life sure. t'Write it upon your heart, that each day is the best day of the year. This is optimism made practical. The philosophy of the full enjoyment of every happy day despite what may be coming on the morrow is one of the hardest things for many people to learn. Practice to be happy today, no matter if tomorrow is to he the most unhappy of your life. In the realm of the producer of those things that have made for the help, health and well-being of man, 0p- timism is the motive power. It led Morse to the Telegraph, Fulton to the Steamboat, Bell to the Telephone, Watt to the Steam engine, Whitney to the Cotton-gin, Wilcox t0 the Sewing-machine, Edison to the Electric- light and it is leading the Wrights and Curtis to the Aeroplane. In the third place, optimism is the basis of all true growth in the mental world or that department of activity that seeks to strengthen the mind for the good results and increase of power that come there? from. Belief in one's powers and the possibilities thereof, leads the scholar to his essay, the orator to his eloquence, the commander to his victories, the lawyer to the bench. Optimism never invests one with an overweening sense of self-importance, never breeds egotism. The great are ever the meek. The greatest eulogy pronounced over General U. S. Grant was, ltHe never underestimated himself in the hour of his trial, nor overestimated himself in the hour of his victory. Belief in their powers and the possibilities of growth made Cicero, Disraeli, Burke and Ingersoll masters in oratory; the same forces placed Beecher, Spurgeon and Moody in the front sanks of the great divines; the same sublime force sent Garrick, Kean, Booth and Murdock to leadership in the realms of dramatic art; optimism made it possible for Lincoln to strike the shackles from a race of slaves. Finally, optimism is the basis of all growth in Morals. Belief that one has reached the acme of good- ness, leads to stagnation. The good are ever growing in goodness. Movement is life. Did not one believe that on the morrow he may be better than he is today, no effort would be forthcoming. Optimism is superior to hope. Hope frequently leads to stagnation. Hope is the belief that things m1! come out right: optimism prompts one to mukv things come out right. Optimism leads ever toward the light and all true growth is so toward Optimism is the pursuit of the buffer, and the attitude which it takes is the attitude of success, as diSe tinguished from the attitude of failure. The realities of life are its successes, its dreams, its hopes, its health, its 10 ve. 31 W. R. COOKK The Staff JOS. H. GROSSMAN. SAMUEL STERN ........ . . ..A550Ciate Editor WALLACE A.

S, DAVIS E NIEMEYER A Word For The Evening Schools EYOND peradventure there still linger in the public mind impressions unjust and fallacious relative to the evening schools, particularly the high schools. Such impressions are not en- tertained, however, by any person who really knows these schools as they are now. They are held by those only whose information has been obtained from prejudiced 0r ignorant sources, or those who never visit the schools to learn the truth regarding them, or those whose opinions of them are still colored by knowledge or reports of the conditions that existed in the schools, say some ten or twelve years since, When they probably were deserving of severe criticism. For it must be admitted frankly that at that time there was much which was objectionable in the night schools. The conduct of the pupils was in many instances deplorable. Some of their common pleasantries were to throw ink, wells about the room, to be noisy and unruly, and to annoy their teachers in all ways conceivable, unless the teacher was strong and masterful. Attendance was lamentably irregular; interest soon began to wane and largely died out; and room after room was closed because of the dropping out of the pupils. The course of study was ill-deflned, and every teacher freely followed his own inclination in the selection and presentation of his classework. Scant regard was had for the fitness of teachers for the work, and many were appointed who had little or no professional zeal, but desired the position only because of the salary attached to it, by which they sought to aid themselves in acquiring another profession, the law or medicine, or to eke out a meagre income gained in some form of day work. An immediate change for the better began when with wise foresight the Board of Education and its superintendent inaugurated the practice of selecting for the evening schools some of the best teachers in the day schools, teachers of professional pride and zeal and eminently successful experience, equipped with scholarship and imbued with the missionary spirit of sympathy, earnestness of purpose, and devotion to duty. For this is the sort of teacher the night schools need. Soon the work was organized, the course of study was harmonized, and order was wrought out of chaos. The result was strikingly shown in the improved quality of work done in the schools, the higher character and increased number of the pupils, and the unmistakable appreciation and approval expressed by the Board of Education in its quadrupling the annual appropriation for maintenance of the schools. The most remarkable improvements have been made in our evening high school situation. Some ten years since we had but one such school with an enrollment of perhaps four hundred. This Was then 34 divided into two schools, located in east and west sections of the central city. In these there is now an enrollment of nearly .vm'rnirrn hundred, almost evenly divided between the academic and the commercial departments. A few years since, when the State General Assembly differentiated the high schools of the State into classes, the best of them ranking as first Class, the next best as second class, ete., our evening high schools, after an enrichment of their course of study and an extension of their annual term to thirty- two weeks. required by law. were recognized by the state authorities as accredited high schools of the first Class. This was high distinction and testimony to their worth, since it was tantamount to making the recipients of their accredited diplomas eligible to admission into the professional schools and colleges of the State without entrance examinations, and consequently. in this respect, putting them upon a plane with the graduates from the day high schools Dr. William T. Harris, in his last report as U. S. Com- missioner of Education, referred to the evening high schools of Cincinnati at being Hunique in this fact in this country. The course of study in these schools is fashioned after that of the day high schools. It is, however, quite obvious that it is impossible to do so extensive work in the former as is done in the latter. When one reflects that the great majority of the night high school students, probably over ninety percent of them, are employed all day in stores, oHit'es, factories, shops, etc, in more or less exacting and arduous occupations, snatching for study and preparation of lessons such moments of freedom as they can find. and for only two hours for four evenings each a week being With their teachers in earnest and industrious application to class work, with no period of intermission 0r relaxation, the wonder is that so much is accome plished, Every minute of the two hours is utilized; not a minute is wasted Class and individual deport- ment is of the highest order. No better behmeerl aggregation of students can he found anywhere. Indeed, one might seek long and far to hnd one as good in general conduct Most of these young men and women, so far as it would depend upon material circumstances, could have gone on through the day schools. They have not withdrawn therefrom because of the pinch of poverty or the spur of necessity. They have done so because they have felt the lure of the business world, the yearning for independence, the irrepressible longing to engage in real, remunerative employment, and have sought and found places among men who are doing things. At the same time they have voluntarily entered the evening schools to continue their studies and training. Young people of such sterling material as this would indicate are worthy of high respect and every encouragement. And it is gratifying to know that the business men of our community appreciate them and are eager to employ them. One business man reeentlv assured the writer that the only testimonial he would require of a boy he would employ is the certificate of his principal that he is a student in good standing in the night high school. On behalf of the boys it must be said that they do not relish extravagant praise for attending night school, for their sacrifice of pleasure, or for the work they choose to take upon themselves to prepare for 35 successful and useful lives: In fact they resent all such allusions. It is simply a business matter with them, voluntarily undertaken to aid them in realizing their ambition to work out a successful career. All they ask is a fair trial. The sturdy qualities that have led them into the night schools and that carry them through them will bring them all the reward they expect, the reward due and, generally speaking, sure to come to true worth and services well rendered. Hundreds of their schoolmates and graduates of the schools are Hmaking good in various profes- sional and business vocations; and hundreds more possess the ability, the ambition, and the stamina to become successful men and valuable citizens of any community in which they may cast their lot. From any point of view the night schools easily repay t0 the city all that they cost; and so long as this continues to be true, they will be fostered and liberally provided for as an essential and indispensible part of our great educational system. They are not an abstract idea or theory, but a concrete necessity. 36 Iln lecmnriam WM. D. CAWEIN Born, February 19., 1894 Dled. Apr 10, 1910 N Monday evening, April the eleventh, the members of the Nocturnal Debating Society were shocked to learn of the death of their esteemed friend and fellow-member, William Cawein. Words from my pen can not possibly convey the grief and gloom this sad information has cast over our society. To think that he should be with us on a Thursday evening and a corpse in his grave on a Monday evening seems more like a hideous dream than a grievous reality, Although I had known Cawein but a Short time, and must, therefore, be ignorant of the many good and noble qualities in his outside life, still many impressions has be left from which to judge him. Quiet, unassuming and persistent, he was, indeed, an exception among students. Not of the meteoric Class of students, but rather of that type that work hard for every grain of knowledge they obtain, he was a man who would have been certain to make his mark in this world, had our Almighty Lord seen fit to let him live. Very few people, indeed, there are who would have struggled for an education as did he. Surrounded on all sides by inconven- iences, he scaled these obstacles with a, grit and a determination which will ever serve to his classmates as an inspiration and example to do higher and nobler things, to remember and benefit by the hardships through which he passed in his endeavor to obtain that which he never was to use, an education. While we are pained to think that a life so full of lofty and high ambitions should be cut clown so young, it must. nevertheless, be a source of consolation to his bereaved parents and friends to know that he has been called to receive that reward which he strove 50 hard for on earth, Heaven.

The vast good this society has done in a literary way, although most naturally appreciated by all, can hardly be realized as yet. The members of the class have been largely engaged in debates on live everyday topics, in readings of modern as Well as ancient literature, ocnasional lectures, humorous recitations of the classical authors, the last alwaye bringing the class in a state of irresistdble jocularity.

The meetings have been held the second Thursday of each month, as part of the English literary work of the course, the undergraduates uniting With the grad- uates for the class exercises. The evenings were devoted strictly to literary work, consisting of essays, debates, readings, and recitations, by members of the class, interspersed with lectures talks by Dr. Washburn, Mr. Ryan and Mr. Bachmeyer. The formation of the Class this year was undertaken as an experiment only, but so successful has been the work, and so satisfactory the results, that the class will probably henceforth be a permanent institution in the Bookkeeping Department, With one or two exceptions every member called upon for literary work, responded cheerfully, and gave the class the result of faithful effort along the lines allotted to them by the Entertainment Committee. Some of our members had their first experience in essay writing, and public speaking, and having overcome the stage fright incidental to hrst public effort, they grew to have conhdenee in their own ability, and that is the one thing the teachers in this department strive to instill into their pupils. Messrs. Ryan and Bachmeyer attended every meeting and directed and helped the ohicers and members of the class along the lines of parliamentary usages. Some of the graduates having gone through the Academic Department, and holding diplomas there- from, urged those of the Bookkeeping Department who had not done so, to take up that work next year, and continue devoting their time to selfAeducatiou as thevsurest road to success in life. Many of the meme bers stated that they had already put in six years work, between the Academic and Commercial branches of the Night School, and only await the establishment of the Night University, in order to continue their studies to the end. Short talks on the work of the year, and an urgent appeal to the students to continue, were made by Messrs. Ryan and Bachmeyer. 49 NOGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT CLASS OF 1910 5'1 17.

SCIIAEFER, '12. T was 21 time of terror in the house of Eastman. For the thins uere angry, Hmad they culled it, at each other. This time it was not one of their frequent little quarrels, but a real fztllingeout. In- deed, they would have come to blows, for their hair was of a color that spoke for itself, had not their mother interfered in time. She gave them a severe talking and they promised something or other which they immediately forgot. For, be it known, the twins were terribly spoiled. The only reason for this bitter enmity was, as Bob, the younger, by fourteen minutes, would have said, that Frank, his brother, had: Hheen acting too smart; here lately,H teasing and making fun of Bob whenever anybody was around. When Bob had protested at this treatment Frank denied his Charge, one thing led to another and the twins had had a tight such as they never had had in all their sixteen years. And now Bob, who thought his brother had wronged him, was seeking ways and means of revenge. The next day as Bob mas going to sciiool he was hailed by a boy of about his mm age l'I-lello there, Eastman. How are you? Say, you're a pretty early bird all right, calling on my sister three times and we have lived here only three weeks, I think she likes you, too. Then seeing some of his acquaintances across the street he dashed away before Bob had time to reply Boh walked on, completely mystified. He had never seen the boy before, yet the latter had addressed him by name. A little later he overtook one of his friends and asked about the unknown boy, who was still visible across the way. e E'Him? said Bob's friend. ttu'hy he's Tom Wagner. He just moved here from Indianapolis. Say Bob, if you ever get to know him make him introduce you to his sisteru She is. :1 fine girl, pretty and jolly. Name's Adelaide. A great light dawned on Bob. The previous summer the tuins' parents had tried the experimuzt of separating them for a. few months. Bab had gone to New Hampshire; Frank had gone to some cousins in Indianapolis. While there Frank had met a youngT girl of whose graces and charms he talked for fully two months after his return. Now She had moved to town. Frank had heard of this and called on her. And now her brother had seen him tBoby on the street and had mistaken him for Frank. That afternoon Bob heard Frank call up the Lyric Theater and have two seats reserved for the Satur- day matinee Bobls plans for revenge began to formulate TTTtTTiTTTTTTTTt About five o'clock that same day Adelaide Wagner was called to the 'phone. The following dialogue ensued: 53 Hello. Miss Adelaide Wagner? HYes. This is Frank Eastman ttWho? Oh, how do you do, Mr. Eastman. Have you any engagement for Saturday afternoon? ttM-m-m, let's see. W811 no, not for this Saturday. Well would you care to go to the Lyric Theater with me? t'Why yes. Thank you. uA11 right, Iill call about a quarter of twofi I'I'll be ready? I'All right HGood-bye. Good-bye. This was on Tuesday. 011 Saturday afternoon at 1:50 Adelaide received her escort. t'Beft re we start he said, HI want to tell you that I am not Frank Eastman. I am his twin brother. Bob. Frank has not been feeling well for the last few days; and he could not go today. He didntt want to disappoint you so he asked me to go in his place. I hope you don't mind. With expressions of sorrow for Frank and amazement at the wonderful similarity of the brothers the girl and boy started. At the theater, they had barely seated themselves when a boy and girl whose seats were just beyond theirs, passed them. Looking up Adelaide saw that the boy was Frank Eastman, Thinking she might be mistaken she looked again. She was right. It was Frank; even to a small scar above his right eye which he had received the previous summer when he fell from a horse. She remembered that scar; she. herself had tickled the horse Frank appeared very surprised and pleased to see her. Seating himself beside her he began talking to her enthusiastically. She answered with a very cool t'I-Iow do you do, turned her back to him and did not speak a word to him during the whole performance But her mind was working, She divined it allt He had made an engagement with her and then had made one with the other girl. Not wishing to dis- appoint her he had played sick and sent his brother in his place. And by a strange coincidence all four seats were together. She resolved on the course of action she would pursue in regard to Mr. Frank. For the next two weeks matters remained the same with the twins, In spite of the protests and pleas of the combined household they were still mad; although Frank had made several advances which Bob always resented. Meanwhile Bob was steadily gaining favor in the eyes of Adelaide. He had, upon her invitation, called a number of times and their friendship was now an assured thing. But Frank could not understand her treatment of him. On the street, in school, everywhere they met she passed him with her head in the. air and averted looks. The poor boy could not think of anything he had ever done to merit such treat- ment. And so matters stood until one day Bob said to Adelaide, uI have a confession to make. I have used you as a tool to teach my brother a lesson But first I want you to forgive me. Forgiveness having been granted, he continued. ttOn the Monday before We went to the theater my brother and I had a quarrel. I wanted to teach him a lesson, that I am as smart as he is. I had learned that you and he were very good friends and I wanted to arrange matters so that you should snub him and not speak to him. I knew this would grieve him terribly. The next day I heard him reserve two seats at the Lyric for Saturday matinee. Immediately after- 54 Ward 1 called you Lip, said I was Frank and made that engagement with you, Then I called up the Lyric and had the ticketVseller save me two seats right next to Frank's seats, Well, I came here, said Frank was sick and could not go and that he had sent me in his place. You saw Frank at the theater with another girl and thought ------------. Well you know what you thought better than I do. Between both you and me not talking to him Frank's. been feeling pretty bad. TitTTTTTTTTTtiTT A little later Frank Eastman wag called to the telephone. Hello, Achilles? asked a sweet, feminine voice. LkNo, you have the wrong number, said Frank. I presume, Mr. Frank Eastman, that you are Sulking in your tent. If you will come over to my house you will hear something that will take the sulks out. And the youth went and entered the house; And 10! after a time he came forth ill peace with the world in general and two people in particular. 55 A Maidls Quandary HX AND MK '10 ITUATED in a most pleasant section of Rose Heights, an attractive suburb of the prosperous and growing city of Camden, was the quiet home of Mrs. John Brandon. It was now the season in which many affairs of great or little importance, according as one judges of them, were being held, and for the young girls and gentlemen of the city, the days were great, long stretches of anticipation. And after what seemed an increditably long time, the evenings would come, with all the delights of realization. At this time, Mrs. Brandon had visiting with her a young girl, Isabel 'llalmage, the daughter of a very dear friend, who was to spend several weeks at her home, and incidentally to enjoy some of the social affairs then in the midst of their brilliancy and gayety. Donald Blystone, on Thursday morning, just previous to entering upon his day's routine of business in an important department of a large corporation, unexpectedly noticed on his desk a letter, the address on which he knew to be his cousin's, Mrs. Brandon, to whom he was very much attached. A perusal of the contents left him in a mood of mingled happiness and disappointment. His cousin advised him of the visit of her friend Isabel, whom he vaguely remembered as having met a long time ago, and the only thing he could now recall of her was that she was a Very pretty young lady. he note went further to say that she would consider the favor a very great one if he would plan to make the visit of her guest as enjoyable as he could. A mention of the ball of which he had spoken to her was made, with the suggestion that she felt sure that Isabel would be delighted to attend. The recollection of the grace and charm of this girl,ofwhon1 he could recall but little, was one of pleasure, while the feeling that he felt of disappointment was his inability now to ask to attend the ball with him a girl of whom he had thought often of late. Generously putting his own wishes in the background, he decided to accede to his cousins suggestion. and as the time between the night of the affair was short, he feeling not altogether sure, decided that he would make his proposal over the telephone. Accordingly that evening he 'phoned his cousin, and had a most delightful chat with Miss Isabel, finding her quite charming, and made the plans to attend the lefair with her, with a degree of pleasure which later astonished him. Promising her that he would sendacarriage, 0n the following Tuesday, the night of the ball, he said good-bye, and found himself wishing impatiently for the night to came Tuesday evening, the hour near nine, and Isabel with an unexpected tremor of delight, heard the carriage 0n the gravel in the drive. Now the girl in this case was young, and also in a measure unsophistie cated, and the man in the livery was also just a little self-possessed, and when Isabel, after taking her leave 56 of Mrs. Brandon, upon his solicitation enters the carriage. he drives to the Elsmere Club, at which a ball of prominence is being held that evening. Supposing, as is the way with such persons, that their thoughts 011 all these matters, must be correct, upon reaching the place calls for Mr. Blystone, whom we will leave in the act of answering the summons. Not more than ten minutes after Isabel has left in the carriage, Donald, with a quick step along the walk by the house, impatiently awaits his entrance at the door. itAnd is Isabel ready long? he asked, after greeting his cousin. 'tI have through one or two inconsequential things allowed myself to he a trifle late. ttBut Isabel has goneH ejaculated his cousin in surprise, and then followed the story of her departure a few moments before. It is not difficult at all to imagine Donald's consternation or the anxiety he felt over the safe arrival of his cousins guest at the ball. When he reached the Cherokee Club, and had entered the ball room, his program was rapidly tilled, and then a frown 0f perplexity wrinkles his brow, as he thinks of the time that has elapsed since he First met Isabel, and how little likely he was to find her in the bevies of girls at the ball. In the endeavor to find Isabel, he goes to one of the girls whom he knows to be acquainted with Isabel, and tells her his dis- tressing plighti In the meantime, at the Elsmere Club, Dr. Harold Blystone, a distinguished member of this fashionable club, after answering the summons, learns that a young girl is asking for him. Upon presenting himself, Isabel sees immediately that some dreadful mistake has been made, and after profuse explanations, is gladly granted his full pardon After a short drive to the Cherokee Club, Which the Doctor assures her is that at which the hall she speaks of, is being held, the destination is reached. As Donald and his young lady friend are earnestly engaged in thinking out a plan, the footman comes with the announcement that Mr. Blystone is wanted at the door. t'Oh, I am so glad to Find you here, joyfully cries Isabel. and Donald, who instantly divines that she is the girl of his search, happily answers just ttlsabel, and leads her to the ball room and the dance. 57 Class Song Fl 3.
