JOHNSON, Jr., M. E. Teacher for years of Modern Lang-uage in Mississippi College, where he did an inestimable work for young men. He came to our Woman ' s College in the fall of 1912, after prayer and council. The matter of choice was put upon him by the providential hand of God, and like Moses, Daniel and Solomon, he chose to do what we find to be the will of God, and he stands at the head of our young college. What tremendous issues in this wise choice! His choice shall de- termine the destiny of scores of girls in this great country of ours. He is brave, courageous, giving his young life to bless the homes and lives of hundreds. His heart is in his work with his faith in God. He began at the bottom with the College and is proving himself a builder, building characters into great structures of usefulness. B. S. University of Mississippi; M. A. Mississippi College; Tutor Mathematics University of Mississippi; President of Hearn Academy; Superintendent of Jackson, Georgia Public Schools; President of Hillman College; Student in Berlin and Paris; Professor of Modern Languages in Mississippi College; President Mississippi Woman ' s College. MRS. MAE WALLER BATSON Mrs. Batson is the beloved Lad - Principal and she is both of the words making up the title in the highest degree. Educated at Hillman College she had preserved a fondness for college girls and college life and when the denomination established the college, she determined to devote her life there to the care of girls. How well she has succeeded during session, let all the girls tell. Decided and firm in her manner she brooks no disobedience and yet every girl loves her and obeys willingly. No one could look more earnestly and closely after the best interests of the girls and no one could bring to such a task more culture, zeal, equipment and burning desire to make the very best out of every girl entrusted to her care. In summing up the assets of the Woman ' s College, Mrs. Batson is among the most valuable. MISS MITTIE L. MORRIS Miss Morris is a graduate of Blue Mountain College and she also has done much post graduate work. In her own de- partment of Latin and also in the English department in which she assists, Miss Morris is noted for insisting on thorough con- scientious work and not being satisfied with anything short of it. To the girls in her class, Julius Csesar, Horace and Tacitus are not myths but living, breathing personages that have to be reckoned with daily. MISS ALICE LEA Miss Lea is an honor graduate of the L L C. Her specialty is Mathematics— that is during school hours— and she lives in a continual atmosphere of equations, theorems, hypo- thesis, ' cosines and corollaries. In spite of this she is angular neither mentally nor physically but is extremely popular with students and teachers. PROF. O. P. ESTES Prof. Estes is a B. A. gi-aduate of Mississippi College. He is a man of rare versatility as in addition to conducting the History and Bible departments, he leads the congregational singing, supervises athletics and is the Grand High Mogul of the truck garden. As yet he is unmarried but there are signs that such a reproach can not be long cast upon hin. MISS OTTA J. STEPHENS Miss Stephens, the Director of the Music Department is a gi-aduate of the Christian College of Columbia, Mo. and a con- servatory student for years in New York and Boston. Her high order of musical talent ' pure soprano voice and many graces of disposition have endeared her to all. MISS GERTRUDE CHASE Miss Chase, who heads the Piano Department comes to us from the Chase Conservatory of Columbus, Ga. She is one of the quartette of Georgia Peaches in the college. Miss Chase possesses splendid talent as a teacher while her lively, vivacious disposition and unvarying good humor have given her an important part in the social life of the College. MISS ESTELLE ROBERSON Miss Roberson is an assistant in Piano and received her musical education at the Meridian Conservatory. Miss Roberson is a natural musician, playing on almost every instrument and her pupils catch her love for music and advance rapidly. MISS EDNA PHILL IPS Miss Phillips, of the Department of Expression, is a graduste of Stephen ' s College of Columbia, Mo., also of the Emerson College of Oratory of Boston. Miss Phillips is one of the main stays of the Glee Club which is in such great demand and uses her managerial and executive ability to great advantage in the several kinds of entertainments. MISS MARY ELLA GRAHAM Miss Graham is the head of the Art Department. She is a graduate of Blue Mountain and of I. L C. Beginning the ai ' t work this session without any equipment, she has built up an enrollment equal to that of many larger schools. She is one of the most popular of the younger teachers. MRS. E. L. BEDFORD Mrs. Bedford is matron of the Boarding Department. She has had years of experience in boarding schools and knows what is necessary to have things looking bright and attractive and she also knows how to provide good things to eat. MISS MARIAH JOHNSON Miss Johnson is a graduate of Blue Mountain College. She is a specialist in Primary work and her department is the pride of the College. She is also very much interested in re- ligious work among young people and is frequently called upon to give lectures upon this work at other places. MISS MATTIE RUSSELL W Miss Mattie Russell is also a graduate of Blue Mountain College in addition to having taken a good deal of summer work. She has charge of the Intermediate Department. Miss Russell is a hard worker herself and manages to get a great deal of work out of her pupils. MRS. BESSIE RUSSELL Mrs. Russell is matron of the Industrial Home. Mrs. Russell came with years of experience at the Baptist Orphanage and her careful management and knowledge of the culinary art have been of great benefit to the Industrial girls financially and every other way. She has made the Industrial Home famous. g ' k trh 0f S ' nttnr (ClasB (CnlnrS: (6rrru au (Snlii Iflnuirr: (Chriisanthrmum fHoltii: ' § ' mir= iBrurrusr c)ffici-:r! President Secretary Treasurer Poet Prophet Gertrude Polk Pearl Duckworth Sophia Sutton Eula Buckley Gertrude Polk Fair were they to behold, the Seniors of that Woman ' s College. When in the session they bore to the class room their text books. Lessons so well learned; then ah, fair indeed were those maidens; Fairer were they when on Sunday morn at Sunday School time. Down the plank walk they passed with their Bibles and Sunday School papers. Wearing their Oxford caps and robes of black and their class pins. When they had passed it seemed like the passing of exquisite music. [With apologies to Evangeline] GERTRUDE POLK. HATTIESBURG MISS- Happy art thou as if every day thou hads ' t picked up a horse- shoe. ' ' — Longjelloiv. Gertrude has one of the brightest, quickest minds in college and is a leader in every department of college life. Her brilliant repartee and splendid conversational powers make her a star in any social gathering, consequently she is very fond of social functions. To her unending pluck and perseverance is due in great measure the success of the Pine Burr. President Senior Class; Class Prophet; President G. T. R. Literary Society 1911-12; Pi-esident Philomathean Society third quar. ; Business manager of Pine Burr. RABA LEE PHILLIPS RAWLES SPRINGS. MISS. ' A form more fair, a face more sweet ne ' er hath it been my lot to meet. — Whittier. Raba comes from a gifted family of teachers and will probably be a shining light in that profession unless providential- ly hindered. Like several of her classmates she is unusually talented in music and is always in demand when such talent is needed. The issue of the Pine Burr will bear evidence of her literary ability as she is directly responsible for most of its con- tents. Pianist Y. W. A.; Sec. Philomathean Society third quar.; Tennis Club; Glee Club; Editor-in-chief of Pine Burr. VERA MCLENDON The soul of music slumbers in the shell ' Till waked and kindled by the Master ' s spell. - -Rogers: Vera receives a diploma in piano. Having the very soul of [music herself, by her rare gift she is enabled to stir the deepest appreciation of it in others. But this is not her only talent. It has been said of her that she can do more different kinds of work than any girl in school. Shr ■« one of the busi- ness managers of the Annual and is responsible for a generous portion of its success. Pianist llee Club; Vice-Pres. Y. W. A.; Pres.

I can do with my pencil what I know, what I see, what, at bottom of my heart I wish for. — Robert Browning. Lucile is our only graduate in art. By industry she has developed her natural ability, and we are truly proud of her accomplishments, and we believe yet she will jjush forward to the unattained heights, for A man ' s reach should exceed his grasp, or what ' s a heaven for? To her talent and hard work. The Pine Burr owes many of its little sketches. She is a favorite socially and has been a help in the religious life of the School. President Art Club; Secretary Philomathean Society, first quarter; President Y. W. A. : Art Editor of Pine Burr. LUCY HALL PACK HATTIESBURG MISS She sang his heart away, away. She sang his heart away. — Stauntoyi. If the girls of Woman ' s College were to be asked whether they had ever seen any one so full of music that it oozed out at both voice and finger tips, they would say with one accord. Lucy Hall. This musical genius is quiet, unassuming and modest and is said to be the hardest working music pupil at the college. She is popular with students and faculty, will answer a young man if he speaks to her and is blessed with the happiest features of face and disposition. She expects to devote her life to her chosen specialty. Glee Club; Graduate in Piano. Member Y. W. A. and Philomathean Society; Associate Editor of Pine Burr. SOPHIA OPHELIA SUTTON PRENTISS. M IBS .- ' . She doeth little kindnesses which most leave undone or despise. ' ' — Lowell. Sophia is one of the best beloved girls. Her sweet, unselfish dispositljn endears her to all from Prep, to Senior, and her greatest desire is to fit herself for the highest service of which she is capable. She hopes to be a missionary to China. She shines on the tennis court, is a close conscientious student and teaches in the Primary Department of the Sunday School. Here ' s to a long and Celestial Republic. President Hermenian Society, first quarter: Anniversarian ' Hermenian Society; Treasurer Senior Class; Treasurer Y. W. A.; Membe • of Student Volunteer Band; Tennis Club; Associate Editor of Pine Burr. EULA LEE BUCKLEY PINOLA, MISS. A voice, gentle, soft and low, an excellent thing in tvoman. - Shakespeare. Eula who receives a diploma in piano is one of our most conscientious students. She is thoroughly in love with music, highly appreciative of the beauties of the work, and accepts uncomplainingly all the drudgery of the daily hard work. The gentleness of her nature seems echoed in- the lightness of her touch, and the strength of her character is suggested by its accuracy and firmness. We believe that the qualities we know her to possess will assure her success as she goes from these halls. Diplomain piano: Class Poet; Treas. Hermenian Society: College Librarian. PEARL DUCKWORTH MOUNT OLIVE, MISS Her air, her smile, her motions. Told of ivomanly completeness; A music as of household songs. Was in her voice of sweetness. — Whittier. Miss Pearl is perhaps our most dignified Senior. It can be said of her that no member of the class is a harder or closer worker, always at class, always doing her very best, she has worked her way toward the goal of the college girl— her diploma. As she has already successfully trained the young idea, she is Dean of the Teacher ' s Club. She will carry with her the best and kindest wishes of faculty and students. Pres. Hermenian Soc. second quai-. : Sec. of Senior Class: Pres. Teacher ' s Club. RUBY BATSON HATTIESBURG, MISS. Many love music for music ' s sake. Many because her touches can awake Thoughts that repose ivithin the breast half-dead. And rise to follow ivhereshe loves to lead. —Landor. Ruby is also a graduate in piano. She is our only local Senior in music and our only Ruby and we are proud of her. She has wonderful talent in music and her renderings always charm those who hear her. She is lo ' ed by all who know her. has attractive and winning ways and is fond of social gatherings. She expects to follow her profession in music and our best wishes are to her in her undertakings. i fuinr Pnrm As I sit and watch the sun Sink behind the western hills. And I look into the future, My heart with joy and sorrow fills. Yes, it ' s sad to think of leaving Those whom we so truly love. Knowing that we ' ll never meet them Till we reach the home above. Sorrow, at the thought of parting From my schoolmates all so dear; And to know that never more We will be together here. But it ' s joy to know we ' re ready To begin life ' s work aright. And we ' ll take our places bravely In the thickest of the fight. Never more to walk the campus Arm-in-arm with some dear friend, Trusting her with every secret. Her, in whom you can depend. Let us face life ' s sternest duties With a courage strong and true. Knowing well that vict ' ry cometh To the brave and faithful few. Then, be brave, my Senior Sisters, You will conquer, never fear! If you ' re always truly faithful. To the lessons taught you here. Class Poet ' 13. ' utnr Qllass fritpb rg In making a prophecy of the future of the class of ' 13 I do not feel that I am playing in the vague realm of mystery but rather that I am talking of the great realities of life. Out on the sea of Destiny we are not sailing under sealed orders, but our fate like an open scroll lies before us if we will but read. Let us not think that we are puppets, merely creatures of circumstance, for why has God given us our minds and intellect if it is not to shape our own destiny ? When I think of the ability and the possibilities of the girls of class ' 13, I cannot but predict for each and everyone of them a successful—not brilliant perhaps, but nevertheless successful- life. Of course the hardships, trials and discouragements will come, but it is through these that we gain strength to climb to higher heights. From our number, although small, will go repre- sentatives into every calhng of modern woman. Whom shall we see first, bearing our standard into the musical world but Lucy Hall, Eula, Vera and Ruby, each trying to better the world with her special talent. In art, the expression of all that is beautiful and wonderful in this world, Lucile is found as the painter of some of the greatest masterpieces. In the benighted land of the heathen, where the bravest and best heart is needed to endure the toil and hardships in enlightening these people to civilization, Sophia is the great and successful worker. Certainly some one of us must fathom the scientific problems that confound the nation and it is here that Pearl comes forward with her learning in astronomy to win honor and glory for herself. ' Tis said that Home is the proper place for woman, and how great it is that one of the girls of class ' 13 is capable of managing well household duties! None other is but Gertrude. In the present day the weaker sex must undergo much ridicule as to the position she takes in political aff ' airs, but some day it will be fully reahzed that the better- ment of the country ' s welfare is due to the wise and strict lead that will be taken by woman in voting. Why should not one of our classmates become prominent in this phase of life? By her ability as a great leader and because of her domineering qualities, Raba can ' t escape her calling. By their deeds ye shall know them. —Class Prophet.

Since I could never make a rhyme at the right time, But just to show you I ' m a Junior and don ' t mind trying. You must take a little tip from me about the class without sighing. My desire is neither to exaggerate nor prevar- icate, For truly we are all great enough, for just plain facts to relate. Our class is one among the happiest in the world. We have to us each dav new truths unfurled. Who are these youthful climbers gay. What is this e ' er progressing mass Which now advances up the way? ' Tis the Nineteen Hundred Fourteen Class. Our stately and gracious President HoUey Will scale the height of the glorious goal. In her heart there is courage and fruition great. And her efforts shall yield golden and precious freight. Tho ' Cora does stunts that would make the bravest tremble. And about which the faculty doth assemble. We can boast of her as having most boundless grit. Always battling with Trig, or Analxt. Both gentle and unassuming is she. With a smile for everybody, so innocent and free; ' Tis Gladys around to make everything cheer, When all is gloomy and drear. May is greater than circumstances, forward she does look With the patience of love as a stream from the brook. There ' ll be changes impressed, on all faces and shown. When they, thy gentlest and tenderest influ- ence, do own. Carrie, Carrie, Ay! forever laugh thy girlish laughter, Then a moment after. Sneeze thy foolish sneeze. When we shall part and our college life is o ' er. When classmates dear say farewell forever more. When tears of love from our eyes are flowing free. The fondest remembrance of all will be M. W.

Our class is a famous museum in which we have (Bob) Boone who takes Spells often. We have a Bush that writes poetry just for Speight, a Thatch that plays Basketball on a May- field and pure Pearl Ware and a very Gay (W) Hoi (e) comb. In the base ball line we have a Lela who Bats-on all of us, a Morris who makes it a rule to make about 95 on Exams. (8 Wonder). Then we have Lowry, Floyd, Rawles, Yelverton who are famous because they belong to the Freshman class, a Bethea who stayed awake once in church a Martha as remarkable as any other Biblical character and a Pee-wee .Jennie who is one of the smallest girls in school and we leave Dellie Evans to bring up the rear in size. — Historian ' 13. iFr aljman atm As the shades of night are lifted At the dawn of a new born day. When the sun ' s bright ray ' s are chasing The shadows of darkness away. So we stand today on the threshold Of a day that is bright and fair; And the future is full of promise To us, who are gathered here. We girls are just beginning A life that is new to all. And we would that beams of wisdom Into each of our lives would fall. And though there are days that are dreary, When we long for Home Sweet Home; When waves of distress overflow us And it seems that all hope is gone. Yet the plucky little Freshman, With courage strong and true, Will tackle the biggest problem And bravely battle through. We love our Senior Sisters Our Juniors and Sophomores too; And those who below us are striving The goddess of Wisdom to view And as for our noble teachers, We love them every one And though we have to study hard We have a lot of fun. So here ' s to the Freshman students At good M. W. C. Your record this year is splendid And so may it ever be. —Glass Poet ' U Pr jjaraliirij College Mascots Miss Mariah Johnson has charge of this little band and well they and we kuow how valuable and successful she is in training these little minds.

The Glee Club sang at Jackson in November, at the meeting of the State Convention and has sung a number of times in the various churches in the city of Hattiesburg, at the public meeting given by the U. D. C. of Hattiesburg, at the Auditorium. The Glee Club was asked to sing, and they very ably assisted at Miss Pack ' s Senior piano recital. Art On the eighteenth day of September. I entered the Mississippi Woman ' s College and join- ed the Art class, making the third pupil— what a gloomy outlook before us! How discouraged we were— what were we to do with four bare walls and a table? We called this our Studio. Soon, more tables and chairs were bought. The walls had a few pictures which relieved the bareness to some degree. Not only chairs, tables and pictures became more numerous, but by Christmas the class had increased to twelve. As the new pui)ils came in, some remarkable talent became evident which was an inspiration to u.s. The students taking china painting also had their battles to fight: the kiln, which had been neglected, failed to fire as it should and the dainty little designs which were painted with so much care and skill, upon the vases, plates, cups and saucers were put there only to be fired off ' instead of on. After Christmas three new pupils entered our class, one of which was Lucile Moody (our Senior) and we are proud of her and her entrance seemed to bring us an inspiration. The six- teenth pupil at last entered and we not only have done good work but we have formed a real Art Studio. — Esther Batson. iEx rr QSinn MocHldaatoutNotHlNG. Miss Phillips who has charge of the Expression Department is indeed an able instructor. Herjnatural ability and splendid training fit her in a marked degree for this line of work. She is a graduate of Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri, and also a graduate of the Emerson Col- lege of Oratory, Boston. She is a delightful reader, and her splendid executive ability tells for much in the Club work. Our friends may expect good results from her efforts here. Miss Phillips has trained the girls for the Philomathean play to be given on their anni- versary.

On the eve of the Christmas holidays, the Dramatic Club gave very successfully, an original minstrel, which had been given by the girls of Wellsley College. We modestly claim that our club did not fall far below the high standard reached by our friends in that good old college. This Amateur Minstrel, with its catchy songs and entertaining jokes delighted an audience which taxed standing room in the College Hall. All the characters were gaily array- ed as Creole Belles especially were the end girls, Misses Polk, Langford, Rogers and Gibson very picturesque as the Picture Maidens. Miss Carrie Jackson acted as the Interlocutor in a very pleasing manner. The curtain went down at the close of a very laughable farce entitled The Three O ' Clock Train. This was acted by Misses Holley McLendon and Vida Huff taking the parts of negro gentlemen. This feature brought much merriment to the audience. All were pleased with the evening entertainment at the close of which the rules were suspended, and this did but add joy to the occasion. The following is a short clipping from the Daily News which is one of Hattiesburgs best papers : Entprtatnntfnt at tltr Momau ' a (EoUrgt The feature of the entertainment was a Drama entitled The Creole Belles in which there was some good acting and splendid chorus work.

M. A. Work At the opening of the session, we organized a Young Woman ' s Auxiliary, the purpose of which is to instruct the members as to the needs and possibilities of our Mission fields, and help them to become more familiar with God ' s Word. We have a membership of 125; this is practically all of the boarding pupils. The average attendance has been very large. We meet on Tuesday afternoons, after school. In connection with this, we have a Mission Study Class which meets every Sunday afternoon. We are now study- ing Western Women in Eastern Lands. Every evening after supper, except when there are services at the church, we assemble in the chapel for our twilight prayers. These meetings last from ten to fifteen minutes; each meeting is led by a girl who has volunteered the night before to be responsible for it. We by agreement have been carrying each a two-cent stamp to the breakfast table every Sunday morning as an offering to the Lord, and while it seems very little, when conscientiously contributed, it furnished us about two dollars a week for our work. Besides this, we made a Christmas offering for Medical Work in Foreign fields, and we made several special offerings. More than sixty girls have already completed the Sunday School Training Course and will receive diplomas at Commencement. MRS. JOHNSON A Srtp tn i ' latP (Emiupntimt • r r ' piiRn ' ♦nfinTaniE ' « ' What was it? What was that sound that floated through the darkened college halls on the morning of November fourteenth? That sound of laughter mingled with exclamations of joy, and that echoed to the rhythm of light foot steps? Had a band of happy spirits taken possession of our Woman ' s College, or had it suddenly been changed into a palace where fairies romped and played ? These thoughts flashed through the minds of us who were still in the land of dreams. Then we awoke and were half ashamed of our folly— neither spirits nor fairies but the day of all days. Was there a girl who had not dreamed of it? On this day we were going to the state Baptist convention at Jackson and to Mississippi College. Just think Little Sister was really going to visit her Big Brother. Quickly, we joined the happy throng and when about five-thirty o ' clock we assembled at breakfast, a more excited crowd could not have been found. Then a long line of girls in caps and gowns went to the train, stopping once in town to give our fifteen rahs for Woman ' s College. Our train was decorated in all the glory of college colors and huge signs with ' ' Mississippi Woman ' s College painted on them in bold letters. Several of our friends in Hattiesburg went with us and as we passed through diff erent towns we were joined by others. Finally, about eleven o ' clock our train reached Jackson. Then we gave more yells and sang We are the girls from the regions of the pines amid the hearty cheers and welcome given us. We visited many places of interest in Jackson until about three-thirty, when the train came to carry us to Clinton. When we arrived there, whom did we see? All the boys of old M. C. And it can hardly be called an exaggeration to say, all the people of Clinton. Time surely had wings that afternoon. After we had spent a few most enjoyable hours on Mississippi College campus and had feasted in the large dining hall it was time to return to Jackson. Pleasant associations continued until we reached the Convention hall that night. There the reports of Mississippi ' s two Baptist schools were discussed and people listened with surprise and delight as an account of our Woman ' s College, Mississippi ' s baby, was given by our president. Train time? Could it be possible? Yes, the face of the honest old clock told us so, and in a short while our friends at the depot waved good bye as our train rolled away loaded with girls from the Woman ' s College in for fun and in for knowledge, convinced that we had had our share of the former and realizing that we were returning to secure later.

' Twas the eighteenth of September in 1912, The events began of which I shall tell. The summer before, our President said. Had been rather hard on those at the head : ' Twas work from the dawn ' till the sun ' s last ray. Without encouragement for many a day. Ehe tide turned, however, as the days passed on, Our school was discussed in many a home; Decisions were made and letters poured in. Showing that M. W. C. had many a friend. The day came to leave, the farewells were said. With glistening eye and quickly bowed head. And when we arrived in Hattiesburg, Our hearts were too full for us to utter a word. But as girl after girl arrived in the hall And room after room was checked off the wall, Our Presidnt ' s spirits had a sudden rise, And brighter and brighter grew the skies. The days passed on, as days always do, And we get accustomed to everything new, When one day the question of Societies was mentioned Which immediately aroused each one ' s attention. But what shall we call them? some one asked now. And no one replied for no one knew how. I ' ll tell you. we ' ll write our brother at M. C, And whatever their ' s are, that shall ours be. This accordingly was done and back came the word; Then nothing but Hermenian and Philomathean was heard. Pm a ' Philo, ' some said, and quick the reply, And Pm a ' Hermenian ' until I shall die! Well, soon both were organized and went right to work. And no loyal member her duty would shirk, Our Hermenians are loyal as loyal can be. For Loyalty is our motto you see. Now long shall our colors, the white and the gold. True love and devotion in every heart hold. And out in the future wherever we be, 0! Hermenian, we ' ll ever be loyal to thee. (Sliauksgtuiug Thanksgiving Day at lastl One long looked for and one never to be forgotten by the girls at Mississippi Woman ' s College. All knew that on this eventful day we would see our Big Brothers again for they had promised to return our visit at the first opportunity that was given them. Much to our joy and satisfaction the opportunity presented itself in the form of a foot ball game between Mississippi College and Howard College, Birmingham, Ala., which was to be played in Hattiesburg. The brightness of the day added much to our merriment and a spirit of thankfulness pre- vailed throughout. In the morning we had the privilege of hearing a very inspir ing sermon at Immanuel church by Brother Homer H. Webb. When the service was over it was past train time and we knew the boys had arrived. Many of us were expecting friends and relatives out to dinner and of course the idea of having men in the dining room caused a great excitement among the other girls. Some were disappoint- ed for alas a few Brothers were left in Jackson. When the bell rang we all filed eagerly into the dining room. Mrs. Bedford must have tried herself for really the dinner was fit for a king. We did notexpress in words our enjoyment of it for actions speak louder than words. After the feast came more merry making. All was one mad rush till we were safely within the street car on our way to the park where the game between Mississippi College and Howard was to take place. When we got there we found many of our Brothers besides those on the team, awaiting our arrival. The game was soon called and we at once started our enthusiastic yells. When M. C. was hard pressed and it seemed as if Howard would score, then it was our yells rang out encouragement to them: They have kept their rep, rep, rep Kept their rep, rep, rep— Who kept their rep? Mississippians They ' re going to win, win, win Going to win again, win again, win again now. and truly they kept their rep for at the close of the game the score stood 20 to in their favor. As we left the park we all sang There ' ll be a Hot Time at the Woman ' s College To- night. And anyone looking in at the College about eight o ' clock would have readily believed this statement. The halls, parlors and chapel were decorated with Mississippi College and Howard colors, pennants and autumn leaves in abundance. The hours passed all too swiftly and before we realized it, it was time for us to part. About eleven o ' clock Doctor Dutehie announced to our visitors that any fond good nights must be said at once as the special to Jackson would leave in thirty minutes. -R. H. T.

No, you wouldn ' t like to be an inhabitant of the River Styx region, unless you had gained your rights as a spirit naturally by birth, for believe me, e ' en tho ' it was Hallowe ' en night, and the proper time for the appearance of spooks and elfins, not only did it make a red-haired, freckled-faced negro, turn white in one single night, but it— it scared us . ' po white folks nigh to death. However by Providence, I was spared to relate the mysterious, hypnotising move- ments of those wholly white, supposed figures; and what aspect the reception hall and parlors of the blessed M. W. C. had attained. The real genuine time for the appearance of unearthly creatures is in the deep, deep, midnight, when in the house, only the loud, slow tick-tock over the mantle can be heard, while on the outside, nothing but the hooting of the owls can be audible, and you wouldn ' t go through the old graveyard, for all the pickles and onions a college girl can eat. but you know these were very discreet, healthy regular hour keeping spirits, so just as the bell tolled the eighth time, a long white silencious, spectral procession filed in the chapel and performed all the chapel duties. You may not believe me, but I cross my heart, on that identical spot where the grave Bro. Estes stands and sways his hands so softly to the strains of music and pours forth notes every morn- ing that would make a night-in-gale take the second place, a long slim wiry, creature did just like the aforesaid person, ' cept of course he couldn ' t sing. Two of the ghosts ' companions had departed for Hades, since their last celebration, so the whole band sadly and mournfully wended their way to the shrine of their dead, and what did they behold and hear? Well the tomb was spectral and ghostly horrible and frightful, and such groans and moans were never heard before. The effects of it produced on these poor mourners were heart rending. Ghosts have a future as well as true people for they soon found themselves in the witches tent and there from the wheel of Fortune, each one received his Fate or Luck in a peanut. The jollity certainly couldn ' t be complete without a gi ' and ball so forgetting, all of their sorrows and the visit to the death chamber, all joined in the witches dance (however please pardon my not telling what grace was exhibited) as our Reverend O ' Briant ' s and President Johnson ' s spirits were there, who showed by their quick, merry steps, that their hilarity could not be surpassed, I know they had received their reward for all the patience and long suflrering they had. had with the M. W. C. girls. Peanuts and apples! what a delicious repast for ghosts for they devoured them with an appetite like that of a basket ball player. After such indulgence not a single spook was capable of undergoing further enjoyment until some spied five sure enough strange beings, stealing in the entrance and poor men they were really afraid that about one hundred and fifty girls were coming after them, however in behalf of their discipline protection (and then some more reasons too) they decided to depart in silence and they only had the pleasure in hearing the teachers ' laughter which always peals forth when such unfrequent visitors are on the premises. Perhaps you ' ve been puzzled the whole time as to who were the hosts and hostess of this enjoyable occasion, but surely you can answer that easily. Everything that is done tip top, the faculty and seniors do, and great is their ability. — C. J. (Ulf iSmthnB Olluh JHotto: ' lr yr }.irrtiarrii. Aim: (La tcarlj in rufru Qlnunty in UJiBHiHsippi.

It was a lovely June afternoon and as she sat thus, her gaze wandered over the fields out to the west where the sun was slowly sinking. She watched it in silence as it hung poised for a moment, a glowing ball of fire, seemingly bidding the world good night before suddenly dropping below the horizon. Then drawing a deep breath, as if dreading to broach the subject, she turned to her mother who was helping her and said, Mother, have you and Father decided about my going to school this winter or have you said any more about it? Her mother did not reply at once. She had been expecting this question and did not know just how to answer it. Three weeks before this there had been a speaking at the little school house, near Vivian ' s home in the interest of education. She had attended this and met there Mary Mans- field and her brother Hubert. In the course of their conversation Vivian learned that Mary would be a Junior at the Mississippi Woman ' s College the next session, while Hubert would be a Senior in Mississippi College. A great desire to go to college grew in Vivian ' s heart as she listened to the various speeches made in behalf of the Mississippi Woman ' s College. She believed that her father would send her if he could be made to realize what it would mean to her and so, when she reached home she pleaded very earnestly with him to allow her to go. She knew her mother was willing but always left such matters with her husband. He did not give her an answer then and the matter was seemingly dropped but Vivian had not forgotten it and now that she mentioned it her mother replied: Daughter, I don ' t know whether he wants you to go or not. He has not said much about it. I believe he has been studying over it though and I hope he will let you go one session anyhow. Oh, I hope he will! Vivian said eagerly. If I could be anything like Miss Mans- field I ' d be so happy. And mama, her brother makes me think of the heroes in books I have read. He is so tall and handsome and so kind to his sister. I don ' t know what it is to have a brother. Jack used to be good that way to me though and she sighed as she spoke. About a week after this Mr. Arnold came in and said; Vivian, you remember your Uncle Samuel Atwood. don ' t you? If you remember. Jack, his only son, was a promising lad but a trifle reckless. Well, I saw Samuel in town today for the first time in years. It seems he ' s been living in another state and become very wealthy. He told me that Jack had gone away, he did not know just where, but that they hear from him occasionally from diflierent places. He seems to be doing well though if he ' d stick to one thing long enough. As I was going to say, Samuel asked me about you and when I told him you were still at home, he asked me to let him send you to school. Of course I did not want to be thought so poor as that and told him I couldn ' t allow it. He then said if I ' d pay your board he ' d give you your tuition. We agreed to this and now, if you want to go this winter, why its just with you and your mother. And now the question was settled and mother and daughter began the preparations for Vivian ' s going away. Of course Vivian remembered her cousin Jack Atwood — how kind and courteous he had been to her when they had played together as children. Their devotion to each other was such that they promised to marry each other when they grew up. Then Mr. Atwood moved away and Vivian and Jack lost sight of each other. She had even forgotten the childhood promise. Very quickly flew the days and soon the 16th of September had come, the day on which Vivian was to leave. It was hard to bid the little mother and kind father, goodbye, but the future was so full of promise that it was with a brave face that she started to the station three miles from her home. With a fast beating heart, Vivian Arnold went up the front steps of the college that was to be her home for several months. Her nervousness was soon over however, when a pretty young girl whom she recognized as Mary Mansfield, ran quickly dcwn the steps to meet her. Then a sweet-faced little woman came up and introduced herself as the matron and Vivian soon felt at home. The day passed very pleasantly to her after she became used to her new surroundings. Her sweet disposition and natural kindheartedness soon won her a host of friends. Mary was very glad to know that she had been of some influence in getting Vivian to come and they were the best of friends. Occasionally Vivian would hear of Hubert who was back in Mississippi College, though she seldom asked about him. One day however, Mary showed her a part of one of his letters. He said, Mary, do you know what ever became of that pretty little brown-eyed girl whom we met at the little school house near Meadow ville? I have often wondered about her and wished that she might be there in school with you. Why I had no idea that he remembered me, Vivian said laughingly, but there was a queer little thrill of happiness in her heart that he remembered her. It seems that he does though. Mary replied, I shall be glad to tell him that you are here. After this Hubert and Vivian would often send messages to each other through Mary ' s letters until they soon came to feel that they were old friends. The months passed quickly and soon the first year of Vivian ' s school life was over. Summer has come and she is at home again, the same, yet different. She had caught a higher vision of life and had determined that if it were possible, she would some day finish at the M. W. C. Mary Mansfield had promised to visit her that summer and Vivian was looking forward to her coming with great pleasure and too, she had a secret hope that Hubert would come with her. Nor was she disappointed. One afternoon as she was seated on the broad old-fashioned gallery of her home, she heard the honk-honk of a motor car, an unusual thing for the neighborhood of Meadow ville Looking up, she saw that it was stopping in front of her little home. As she went out to meet them, she saw that the occupants were Mary and Hubert Mansfield, as they were all genuinely glad to see one another, time passed quickly. Hubert had to return the next day, but Mary stayed for several days. Vivian ' s parents had already decided that she should finish school, and so the next session found her back taking full Sophomore work and making a success of it. Her Sophomore and Junior years passed by very pleasantly but uneventfully. However they meant much to Vivian for now she and Hubert were regular correspondents and the days his lelters came were always looked forward to very eagerly. Mary who had finished the second year that Vivian was in school had married a splendid young man who was teaching at her home in Arlington. At last Vivian ' s Senior year arrived and her work was very heavy, for she was finishing in both music and literary work. Hubert had written her faithfully every week for a long time but now she had not heard from him in over two months. She knew that he had gone abroad to take a special course in Germany. In fact she had had one letter from him since he I ' eached his destination. Either he had written and the letters were misplaced or he had forgotten her. This last thought would not leave her as she stood at the window of her little room one bright April day. It was the noon hour and as she stood gazing out into space, wondering if all her day dreams were to come to naught, she saw the girls coming with the mail. Oh how eagerly she listened as girl after girl called from her window: Did I get any mail? Did I? How many? Did Old Lady? etc. Vivian did not ask, but as they came up the walk, Ruby Ardmore her chum and confidant caught sight of her wishful face and called out; Hi Vivian, don ' t look so woe-be-gone. Here ' s a letter with a foreign post-mark on it. Wonder whom it can be from? Vivian turned quickly and snatching Hubert ' s picture from the dresser, pressed it close to her saying You do care, don ' t you Hubert? In a few minutes Ruby Ardmore brought the letter to her saying as she gave it to her now watch the little girlie smile. while Vivian broke the seal Ruby seated herself at the piano and began playing Meet me Tonight in Dreamland. What did he say, Vivian? she asked turning quickly to look at her. Why what on earth is the matter dear? Did he write bad news? she exclaimed at sight of Vivian ' s white face. Vivian did not reply but throwing herself on the bed, buried her face in the pillow. Ruby tried to comfort her but not knowing what the trouble was, she knew not what to say. Presently Vivian looked up and said, Ruby promise not to mention this and you may read the letter. ' ' I promise, Ruby replied. It read: Dear Miss Arnold: I have been informed by what I consider a reliable source that you are to be married soon, having been engaged to the gentleman for several years. Therefore, I deem it best that our correspondence should cease at once. Yours truly, HUBERT MANSFIELD. Why what can he mean? Ruby asked in a puzzled tone. I thought surely that you and he were Hush Ruby, please Vivian said sitting up suddenly and beginning to rearrange her hair. Dont say anything more about this for my sake. I think I understand the situation. He wants to end this episode and this is the excuse he gives. Who over there could have even known me, much less have told him such a falsehood? If he cared for me he wouldn ' t believe it anyway. He does care for you, I know he does, Ruby answered. He has been true for these many years and he is too good to do this purposedly. I know him well. Haven ' t I lived near him all my life and dont I know what I am talking about? Vivian, listen, please write him and tell him that there has been a mistake. Indeed I will not, Vivian replied with some spirit. If he doesn ' t take the trouble to investigate the matter, I shall not explain anything. No my dear, I will take your advice in lots of things but not in this. With this she jumped up and went to the basin to bathe her face. Ruby dear; please tell them that I did not want any dinner when you go in, and forget anything and everything I have said concerning this little matter. After this, Vivian worked harder than ever. Her preparations for her coming recital together with her literary work kept her very busy so she had little time to brood over her troubles. Could the little moon beams peeping through her window have talked, however, they could have told of many a damp pillow and sleepless night— but they are no tattlers. In one of the large medical schools in Germany, Hubert Mansfield sat in his room, his head bowed on his hands, thinking of the past and future. Presently, the door opened and a young man, Hubert ' s roommate came into the room. He was a handsome boy although his face showed trace of a somewhat reckless life. Hubert had met Jack Atwood soon after he had reached Germany and as he was a student at the college to which Hubert was going they soon became great friends. Well Hubert, old boy, what ' s the matter now? You seem a trifle blue. I suppose you are day dreaming, though. To tell you the truth Hubert, I am homesick and the prodigal son has decided to return to his father and relatives. By-the way, I have a little cousin who finishes at the Mississippi Woman ' s College this year. We have been engaged for years so I think I shall begin to make preparations for returning home in time for commencement exercises and then claim the fulfillment of her promise. Have I never mentioned her before? Well it ' s not because I haven ' t thought of her but only because I knew you did not know her and, besides you do not tell me your love aflPairs. Here ' s her picture, however, taken, about three weeks ago. And Jack drew a picture from his pocket as he spoke and handed it to Hubert. As the latter looked at the picture, his face blanched and he caught his breath suddenly, for there looking up at him with a sweet wistfulness, was the face of Vivian Arnold. What could it mean? Vivian engaged to this man, her cousin, for several years, and yet last summer she had all but promised to marry him! There must be some mistake, but no. Jack had said so and there was her picture to confirm his words. Well, what do you think of her? Jack asked carelessly as Hubert handed the picture back to him. He had not noticed Hubert ' s agitation and now the latter had regained his com- posure. He resolved that he would never tell Jack of his acquaintance with Vivian since they were engaged and so he replied: She is very beautiful. You say you have been engaged for several years and yet you have stayed away so long? When have you seen her last? There was a faint hope in Hubert ' s heart that pei-haps Vivian did not love Jack now as r she had not seen him for some time. But Jack ' s answer soon dispelled this hope. Jack did not really know why he led Hubert on to believe this. Prehaps it was only his love for exaggeration and his desire to try the role of an engaged man. Many times since he had left home several years before, he had gotten into different escapades but through it all he had managed, on the whole to conduct himself honorably and to avoid flirtation. He had written his father two or three times a year and in his last letter he had mentioned Vivian. Thereupon Mr. Atwood had written him everything concerning her school life and had enclosed her picture in hopes that it might influence Jack to return. Then Jack remembered their childhood promise which prompted the joke that was to have such sad consequences. And so he replied, Oh! it ' s been at least a year. You did not know that I had been in America lately, did you? I received her picture about a week ago, however. I commend your choice was all that Hubert replied and at this the matter was dropped. Jack really intended telling him the truth but for some reason it passed from his mind, and so Hubert, his hopes and dreams shattered, could see no other way than to put an end to his and Vivian ' s correspondence. He debated this question for several weeks before writing the letter which had so wounded her. Vivian worked harder than ever the last two months of her Senior year. She belonged to the Annual stafl which with her other duties kept her very busy and allowed little time to think of this past real sorrow of her life. The days flew by and commencement night had come. The large auditorium of the ad- ministration building was crowded to the fullest by the proud and admiring relatives and friends of both the girls and the school. On the platform in a circle were seated the fifteen beautiful graduates among whom were none lovlier than Vivian Arnold and Ruby Ardmore. Vivian ' s mother and father were present and also her uncle and aunt. Many beautiful presents had been received and everything was all excitement. But deep down in Vivian ' s heart was an ache that could not be healed, for she knew that Hubert had intended being there and now he was far away. The graduation exercises were admirably conducted, the delivering of the diplomas being the last thing on the program. As Vivian ' s time came, she stepped out on the platform, and as she smiled down into the little mother ' s proud tearfilled eyes, she caught sight of a young man seated some distance behind her parents. His face was strangely familiar but she could not quite place him. As she seated herself beside Ruby Ardmore the latter whispered: Vivian, whom do you suppose that handsome young man is? He is seated just a little distance behind your mother and has been watching you all the evening. Somehow he looks like you a little. After everything was over and congratulations were being showered on the happy young graduates, Vivian made her way to her mother and father, for she wanted their good wishes first. As she stood there with an arm around each one, the handsome young stranger approach- ed them and said: Well Cousin Vivian, let me congratulate you too. Why its Jack. Vivian cried. Oh, I am so glad to see you. When did you come home? After speaking to his Uncle and Aunt, Jack replied: I have been in America for about two months, but only came home last week. You see I wanted to surprise you. By the way, he added, Who was that stunning girl seated by you? I do believe she ' s the prettiest girl I ' ve ever seen. Why, thats Ruby Ardmore, my chum, and one of the sweetest girls here. Come, I want you to meet her, said Vivian, leading the way to Ruby, who was surrounded by a host of friends. Wait a moment, Jack said, I have a little present here which my roommate in H— College in Germany sent you. I mentioned to him that I was coming home to see my cousin graduate and he asked permission to send her this httle package on condition that she would not open it until she went to her room on commencement night. I thought it a queer request from a stranger, but there, he ' s a queer fellow anyway, sometimes. By this time they had reached Ruby, to whom Vivian introduced Jack. It seemed that from the first, their admiration was mutual and very soon they were on friendly grounds. As soon as possible that night, Vivian went to her room, for she was all curiosity to know the contents of the little package. Very quickly she broke the seal and undid the wrappings. Oh! she exclaimed, how lovely! for there lay a beautiful pearl necklace. What can the man have meant to send such an expensive present? Surely I cannot accept it from an utter stranger. As she spoke, she raised it up to obtain a better view of its shimmering lovliness. As she did this a tiny note fell out. Quickly she opened it and read: It was purchased when I first came and was to have been your graduation present. I cannot let another wear it and yet I cannot bear to keep it longer. Will you accept it even now from one who will ever hold your memory dear and who wishes for you the greatest possible happiness always? H. M. That was all, but as she read these words a great throb of happiness filled her heart for she could read between the lines his great love for her. But how and why did that terrible misunderstanding come between them? If he loved her truly, how could he accept without proof, such a falsehood? These thoughts troubled her a great deal. That night she knelt beside her bed and prayed that if it were God ' s will, this trouble would be cleared away and she and Hubert would be restored unto each other. The following day Vivian left for home, carrying with her the memory cf many pleasant hours spent within the sacred walls of the Mississippi Woman ' s College. By invitation. Jack followed Ruby Ardmore later to her home near Arlington but this was by no means the last trip, for, ere the October leaves began to fall. Ruby Ardmore was the promised wife of Jack Atwood. One day while out walking, they spoke of Vivian. Suddenly Jack asked: Ruby, why. is it that Vivian never visits you? I have tried to get her to come with me sometimes but she never will. I know that she loves you devotedly and I believe she is a great friend of Mrs. Bran ton who lives here, is she not? Jack, I have never mentioned this to anyone for I promised her I would not. Since you ask me, however, I will tell you on conditions you will never mention it, Ruby replied. Why of course not, Jack answered, but if its a secret you need not tell me. But I want to, she said. Then she told him of Vivian ' s love affair and of the letter which she had received and which had caused all the trouble. When she had finished Jack asked: Would you mind telling me who the man was? Therein lies the secret of Vivian ' s not coming to Arlington, for he was Mrs. Branton ' s brother, Hubert Mansfield, Ruby replied. Jack looked as if she had struck him. Do you mean to tell me that Hubert Mansfield was all but engaged to Vivian and they have now broken up? he asked excitedly. Oh, what will ever become of me, for here I ' ve gone and all but wrecked two loving hearts with my awful love for joking. What do you mean. Jack? Ruby asked. Do you know Hubert Mansfield and what had you to do with this affair any way? Jack then told her of his acquaintance with Hubert and of the time when he had jokingly mentioned his engagement to Vivian. I had no idea that he had ever even heard of her, or I would never have done such a thing. I shall write him and explain everything though, this very night, he added, as they reached the house. And he did w rite Hubert, telling him everything and begging his forgiveness for the trouble he had brought on him. In the meantime Hubert had left the college for his health was almost broken down by hard study. He had gone out into the country to a little farm-house where he could have rest and quiet for a few w-eeks. Here the letter found him for the now celebrated Dr. Mansfield could not be hid. After reading this explanation, Hubert lost no time in starting for home, but engaged board on the first out going steamer. ■ ■ ■ It was late afternoon in December, only two days before Christmas. The air was filled with the fragrance of the spruce and pine which the children had brought in to decorate little school house, and the dark green holly with its gleaming red berries against this back ground made a pleasing picture. Vivian Arnold stood beside the Christmas tree on the front of the little stage. She was teaching at home that year in the little school house and was the idol of every little pupil ' s heart. She had planned to have them a little Chri tma? tree on Christmas Eve, and now having dismissed her little folks she remained to put th ; iriM ' .iin t)j:hes on the tree. As she reached up to straighten the large gold star on the t)p ol the trea, sh? haard a quick step on the walk outside. The door was opened and a young man stepped into the room. Vivian stood transfixed, one rounded white arm raised to the sta.-, th? other hand pressed to her heart. As she stood thus, Hubert Mansfield, for it was he, thought he had never seen a fairer picture. In her simple little white dress, with her dark curls, havinij slipped from their fastenings, falling around her and her soft brown eyes beaming with o, ' } light, she seemed as if she were the Christmas Angel lent to earth for but a season. As Hubert went to her side he said: My Vivian, can you. forgive me? I know all now and oh! I love you so, my darling. Then, when everything had bain exp ' ain ' d and Hubert had slipped a beautiful little ring on her finger, Vivian said: Hubert, I have asked God to rastore us to ei:h other. Now, let us thank Him for this gracious answer to prayer. ' ' And as they knelt together ti thank Him who is the author of Love it seemed that the Heavenly Host could be heard sin n ;■, Pri e on Earth. Good Will to Men, and the Christmas spirit brooded over all. -.Vf. L. B. fflur iFtrsl p iltug MISS PICKERING JJiss Pickering was persuaded ly I,Ir.

A iJ rmrmau In a corner of a certain hall at the Mississippi Woman ' s College is a mail box over which a number of girls were scrambling. 0, please let me get my letter; Stop, that ' s mine; Ha, here ' s a letter from Joe; Give me my card before you tear it up. All such exclamations arose above the noise they made. Ah, let me settle this fuss! said a stalwart girl as she seized the bundle of letters and began to deliver them. Mable Due, Margie Lake, Stella Brown, Helen Banks — All this time Helen had been wedging her way into the crowd and upon hearing her name called and landed in the middle of it. From Mississippi College! Who on earth? She entered her room tearing at the envelope. 0, Helen, did you get your permit to go home with me? Mother has just said you must be sure to go, eagerly inquired her roommate. No, Margie, it ' s a letter from M. C. What do you know about me? I can ' t imagine who it is from. ' She drew out the letter and turned to the last page to see the signature. Billie Buck! Helen gasped. Who is he? asked Margie. He ' s the boy you said you were crazy about when I told you of him. What does he mean? Read it and see, said Margie. She read the following: Dear Trix: — That ' s what he used to call me, she giggled. ' ' Well do I remember that you said you hoped you would never hear of me again, but I am writing this only to ask a favor of you. I have heard that you girls are going to name your literary societies Hermenian and Philomathean for ours. I certainly am glad you are and I am very anxious that you join the Hermenian, for it is the better society. Write me at once if you will promise this. Sincerely your friend, Billie Buck. I wonder what he takes me for. Why, yes, I ' ll just break my neck to join them, now since Billie said so. The crazy dunce! Aren ' t you ashamed of yourself? I know he is a dandy fellow and you ' ve got to like him. But, never mind, I ' ll join the Hermenians and take Billie for myself. But, what ' s the matter with you and Billie any way? Nothing that would interest you. Come on, let ' s go to supper. She threw the letter on the floor and stamped with her foot. The next morning Margie was up by daylight and seated at her table writing hurriedly. She threw an occasional glance toward Helen who was still asleep. She stopped to read what she had written: Dear Billie: I was so glad to get your letter and to learn that you are at M. C. I shall be delighted to join the Hermenian just because you asked me to. (You see I am not so mad after all). — My, isn ' t that cute? I may get into it, but it ' s worth the risk if she ' ll only join us. Helen raised up on her elbow and exclaimed: What, in the name of sense, do you mean by getting up so early? Margie was frightened, but answered calmly, I hope you remember that we have to hand in a theme today. 0, please let me copy yours. I don ' t feel like writing one, Helen begged. Alright— 0. I must hug you for that! Up she bounced and on her way she bumped the table, knocking a picture dir ectly across the letter. 0, let me see how much you have written. Margie placed both hands over the picture saying, Not now, for you will only laugh at it. Wait until I have it finished. Helen jumped into the bed again saying, 0, bother English lessons: I am going to sleep. Margie added Trix to the letter and mailed it. Helen could not understand Margie ' s conduct the following week and why she watched the mail so closely. Finally, one day, while Margie was out walking, the mail was delivered. When, upon her return she entered her room she found Helen lying across the bed with a letter clutched in her hand. Margie could hardly suppress an exclamation. Why. Trix, what is the matter? Tell Marge and let her help you. Helen turned a tear-stained face to Margie and threw her arms around her neck. Margie, dear, you ' ve done it all. How did you know that I loved him? Wliy, what have I done? ' asked innocent Margie. ' Listen here: ' Dearest Trix— I am so glad that you are no longer pouting, but have promised to join the Hermenians. Forget the past and let us .

April 3 001 0 lag Place — Mississippi Woman ' s College— Characters — A crowd of April Fools — Act I — Scene I— Dormitory — Time— Night before the first of April. One of Puck ' s pals speaks; Well girls guess you know what the president said about observing our annual all fool ' s day, but believe me if you all are in for it. I ' m game to do any thing at anytime. A mischievous lassie bubbling over in gaiety; surely, we must mop up, but please etus be quiet, quick and sly in every stunt that we do. All Fools, in a joyous chorus; Ay! Ay! Come, come, let us start. They did start, and took a mighty long time to end. Some of the heavy weight champions attempted to get Mother Batson out of their way, so all preparations might be completed, but all efforts, unsuccessful, she was permitted to re- main in peace, for a while. Time changes, to four o ' clock next morning. A dauntless girl quietly murmuring to her chum; ' wake up Mutt, shakingher vigorously, arent you going to do what we said? Mutt (sleepily); Ye-e-s. wait a minute. With fearless courage they struggled laboriously with a strong never-breaking rope, tying Mother Batson, securely in her room, and in that, they certainly succeeded. Act II— Scene I — Same scene as in Act I. ' Tis a bright and beautiful April Fool ' s day! One of the girls on hearing a horrible, unharmonious clanging, passing up and down the halls; wake upi crazy, I believe those Mexicans or Bulgarians one, are over here. Her roommate arousing; Oh, no, don ' t you remember we hid the bell, and they just want us to get up. As the girls walked by the matron ' s door that morning, such nudging in each others side, and what exclamations were uttered, I wonder — who did that. Gee! but I bet she ' ll be mad. Mrs. Batson wasn ' t the only absent person from the breakfast table, but another was also deprived of her morning repast, ' cause you know she has a heavy suit of hair (?) and was un- able to locate its exact concealment. For love of Mike, don ' t nail so heavily, don ' t you know Mrs. Batson is in her room and she can hear us, one of the don ' t care girlies said to another, who was diligently, fixing a bucket of pure water over each teacher ' s door. They were hung very unsafely. You can imagine the results, when those grave bodies opened their doors. After breakfast each girl was warned 7iot to go to school, but as the bell rang, join the line of truants, and march boldly away. The Faculty humbly watching the departure. The decision, as to where they would make their retreat, was soon pronounced to all, and what a jolly good time, each April Fool spent on the beautiful river. It would never do to mention the numerous and absurd pranks, that were played that day by these wanderers. Note, the day ended lovely, not a soul was ofi ' ended, Mother Batson was released from prison, Miss Lea found her hair, none of the teachers took a cold from the unexpected shower, and everybody was just as happy as they could be. Now don ' t you think the proper April Fool spirit prevailed? — C. F. J.
