II- f of)ngon Mrs. J. L. Johnson About twenty-five years ago when Pres. J. L. Johnson was Principal of the High School of Maxeys, Georgia, there came to school a little brown-eyed girl by the name of Sue Belle Moody. Her father, Jno. W. Moody, was one of the leading citizens of Maxeys; her mother, who had been Miss Mary Davis, of Green county, was a member of one of the prominent Baptist families of Georgia. Her brilliant talents, her lovable disposition, her sweet womanly character, her mastering impulse To help somebody to-day — all these characteristics developed in her so early that she soon attracted the attention of the school principal and a friendship began between these two which the passage of years has only served to cement more firmly. At the age of fourteen she entered the Georgia Normal and Industrial College, graduating at the age of eighteen among the first in the large class and the most universally beloved girl who ever left the college walls. At the age of nineteen she married Prof. Johnson, who was then Superintendent of the city schools of Jackson, Georgia. After serving as principal of the city schools of Columbus, Georgia, Professor Johnson came back to his home state to be Vice-President of Hillman College, at Clinton, Mississippi. Here Mrs. Johnson began her work among college girls — a work which has made her known and beloved all over -the South. When after a stay of five years at Hillman and six years at Mississippi College, Professor Johnson was called five years ago to be the first President of the Mississippi Woman ' s College, Mrs. Johnson was hailed as the beau ideal of a president ' s wife. During the five years of the existence of the college she has been one of the greatest factors in its success. While holding no official position she has charge of the religious life and activities which are such a large part of the college life. No girl who comes in contact with Miss Sue Belle — and all the girls do, — can fail to receive an impulse to make her own life a channel of blessing. No girl who comes under this influence of her unselfish, loyal, enthusiastic, consecrated, daily life, — and all the girls do, — can fail to earnestly desire the very highest and best things. Mrs. Johnson is one of the chief answers to the question why the Woman ' s College has had such a phenomenal recording growth and development. Her personality touches every department of college life; her bright, cheery, indomitable spirit brightens every dark day ; her love for Christ and those for whom Christ died, makes Christianity a living, breathing force to every member of a college community. Mrs. Johnson is in great demand at the various conventions and gatherings of women and she could easily spend all of her time in outside work did she accept all the invitations she receives. Let us not forget to add that she is a devoted wife and mother. It is painful to contemplate what Mr. Johnson would do without her; to her manly son and four sweet little girls she is indeed the center of the universe. Among her large circle of friends it may be truly said of her: None k oTV her but to love her; None name her but to praise. y yy OLD FAMlL A Gf ' l President J. L. Johnson, M. A.

For three years Hazel has been in our midst and has brought cheer into the lives of those with whom she has come in contact. She has made a splendid student and with her many talents she will make a success in her work. When she is gone we will miss her.

In the four years that she has been here, Edna has endeared herself to all. One would never think it, but those dreamy eyes of hers can sparkle with fun and she is always in for all the fun going. Her work has always been well done and she leaves scores of friends behind who will miss her in the fall. Vice-President Philo Society third term 17. Myrta Collins Oloh, Miss. A. B. DEGREE Those who malfe the least noise do the most lvorl(; an engine that expends all its steam whistling has nothing left with which to turn the wheels. ' This quotation being true, we feel sure that Myrta ' s reserve force is great, for no girl has ever spent three years at the Woman ' s College, making as little disturbance as has she. Good work has characterized her career here, and a disposition to do her duty always, and when she is gone the quiet force of her character will yet linger in these walls to help many another girl. Mission study leader 16 and 17. President of Hermenian Society third term 17. May Davis Foxworth, Miss. B. S. DEGREE Humble and self denying She is living a life of love And bright with gems is the crown I have read for her above. We are sorry lo see her go. She entered this school In its first year — five years ago and having stayed thus long in the bosom of her Alma Mater, she carries with her the ideals and hopes that she has received from this intimate contact. She is a painter of no mean ability. On account of the un- excelled interest she took in the Christian work of the school, she was elected President of Y. W. A. in her Freshman year. President of Y.

DEGREE Don ' l worrv dear — it doesn ' t pav The cheerful heart maizes bright the map. Her name Is very appropriate for there is a mys- terious sadness about her that touches the heart of everyone — especially when those frequent epistles from M. C. fall to come just on time. There is not a more conscientious student in the class and she never falls lo take her stand for the right. What- ever she attempts she can not fail, for if digging on Psy is a fair test of perseverance, she surely has it. Class President ' 14. Mission study leader 16 and 17.

Only one session she has been with us, but we feel ihat we would have missed much if she had not come. Since the first day, she has been lined up with the best interests of the school. For naught that sets ones heart at ease, or giveth happiness or peace, is low esteemed in her eyes. We believe that when she goes out she will continue to build as she has done here. President of Hermenian Literary Society second term 17. First orator of Hermenian 17. CoRRiE Mitchell Taylor, Miss. A. B. DEGREE The girl that ' s ivorlh while Is the girl that can smile When everything goes dead mrong. Three years ago she began smiling on the wom- an ' s College. We have watched her stand Where the brook and river meet and pass over into young womanhood — into a promised land in which her cheerful disposition will mean much to her. We prophesy that many a heart will be cheered, many a load be made lighter, many a home be made bet- ter, because she has passed that way. President of Hermenian second term 16.

In the three years that she has been with us Myrtle has done brilHant work. She has a mind that goes to the bottom of things and digs out the whys and wherefores, no matter how deeply they are buried. There is not a broader-minded girl in the class and in the future when she has won fame with her pen we will be proud to say we knew her in the old days at M. W. C. Critic of Philomathean Literary Society second and third terms 17. Renodell Roberts Mt. Olive, Miss. B. S. DEGREE Her strength is as the strength of ten Because her heart is pure. ' If Renodell were a little older, her three years here would have won for her the name of Old reliable. Always on the right side of every question, always willing to render any service. When she is gone, we may not Look upon her like again. We are glad to point to her as a product of the Woman s Col- lege, and have our class and our school judged by her, for By their fruits ye shall know them. Treasurer of Philomathean Society third term 17. RUBV RlSh-R Terry, Miss. A. B. DEGREE ou give a feller an extra good repulalion. Sometimes he ' ll rl; to live up to it. Ruby IS one of the strongest, most straight-forward girls thai goes out from the college. She has always been a splendid student, courteous in manner, smooth- tempered and good. We all find in Ruby a com- forter and friend. She is always wilhng to help in anything. There is not a more popular girl in school. President of Philos first term 17. Secretary Philos 16.

DEGREE ijoti re as blue as indigo Loolf cheerful — You ' re prettier when vou smile l)ou l(no-n Lool( cheerful. Sometimes the temptations to do society that come to a town girl are too much for the or- dinary student, but not so with Dora. No boarding student has ever excelled her in doing her level best, and in loyalty to everything that concerned the wel- fare of the college. Those who are left will miss her. but she has left a high standard for Hattiesburg girls. Local Editor of Pine Burr 16. First Assistant Business Manager of Pine Burr 17. Eunice Welch Collins, Miss. A. B. DEGREE Yes, Cod has made me a woman And I am contenl lo be Just rahai He meanl, noi reaching Out for other things since He Who noDis me best and loves me most Has ordered this for me. Eunice received a certificate in Art last session, but IS receiving a literary diploma vv ' ith this class. A quiel disposition has she, and though her voice may not always be heard, the might of her influence is ever drawing others to the best. For four years she has been with us, and we hope she will not even be content with her two diplomas, but may spend with this old school another year helping its new students to find their true relations to things.

DEGREE EXPRESSION DIPLOMA The voice of song is not sweeter than the voice of eloquence. Four years ago, we found her in our midst, so limid that for a year we scarcely realized her real worth. But her conscientiousness, and public spirited- ness, as well as her loyalty and ability have made of her a leader of the girls along many lines. She is a graduate of the Expression Department, and has done throughout creditable literary work. She has this year been the efficient president or the Young Woman ' s Auxiliary. May she go out lo stand for constructive work in some community where such work is needed. Winner of Expression medal 15. Class President 16. Secretary Y. W. A. ' 16.

We can certainly say of this, thai Lois is bounti- fully blessed with musical talent. She has always done her best and is energetic, tactful, ambitious and loyal throughout. We expect her to bring comfort to many a lonely heart by the music that she will make in this world. Maybe some day we ' ll walk into some church where she is organist and her hus- band is preacher.

The Wom- an ' s College may well be considered fortunate that .she is not leaving this year, but will return next session and lake her literary degree with the class of 18. Fortunate indeed, is that class, for with her psychological mind, which we are sure she in- herited from Aunt Miltie, their problems may be easily solved. Vice-President Sophomore class ' 16.

She has a splendid record and has won the confidence of all who know her. We are sure no one will make a belter success and do more to help people in the industrial line than Lessie.

Senior Class History Spring hangs her infant blossoms on the trees Rocked in the cradle of the tvestern breeze. SPRINGTIME of all green and growing things. What more fitting time for Freshmen to enter College? March winds and April showers are necessary to the budding shoots of knowledge in the Freshman mind, as we are so green and sweet in innocence. It was then that we received the first seed and felt the pull of the plow and cultivator in the springtime of our career. When we first entered these college halls we felt this verdancy to a low degree, but we felt the thrill of new life and did not realize any more than the Freshmen of to-day how green we were. The first thing we did was to organize our class. During the year we were threatened with home-sickness and other sicknesses, but we were cured by rumors of the infirmary and its pills and soothing syrups. In spite of all these troubles, we conquered, with a grin, every temptation to shirk a duty. Finally the end came. Exams were passed, and thus ended our first college year. March wind and April showers brought on May blossoms. Summer came long before we knew it, so delightfully did one season blend with another. All the year we held high heads on straight stalks. Our heads were not yet heavy enough with learning to droop much. Each day the flowers unfolded little by little. Then crown ' d with flowery hay, came rural joy, and summer with his fervid beaming eye. Some regretted the dead delights of verdant days, but some looked ahead long- ing for the new domain. Now the buds had become blossoms. Each color of a dominant characteristic changed into the unfolding of a larger bloom. We looked wise, but when asked things we could not answer, we turned crimson. Red, the color of summer warmth and lights and sunshine and glow. And even on the cheek it speaks of hope. Behold! congenial Autumn comes The Sabbath of the ])ear. In school life as in nature the Leaves have their time to fall, and the flowers to wither. The autumn of our day came as soon as we were ready. Our foliage was bril- liant, rich was our fruit age. It was the harvest of all our planting and the reaping of the results of our great knowledge flushed the whole year with the mellowness of a sunset splendor. It brought with it the glad Thanksgiving of November. Thankful that we knew so much. Thankful that we w re no longer Fresh or Sophomores. Thankful that we were soon to be Seniors, and last but not least, thankful that we had been able to achieve so much. But all was not glory and wonder and splendor. There were tests, cultivation of the Fall planting. We no longer blushed at some unexpected question. We had passed through the stage of both verdancy and crimson confession and a new color spoke the tale of our advancement, that of indigo. This stage however passed into eternity. The fruits were all gathered and stored in memories. With the snows of all the past placed in hoary wisdom upon our heads, we welcome the approach of winter. The flowers are long since decayed. The deeds of the new life are to be well stored away beneath the soil of our understanding, ready at the call of coming Spring. Rugged in our young womanhood, clad in spotless snow and frost, protecting the yet immature germ of developing life, we stand at the end of our course. It seems a sadder time than we expected. We do not know what to expect from the cold out- side world. But we will ever struggle onward and by the sunshine dispel whatever gloom is cast around us. Each will go her own way, each will have her own battles but we must and will conquer. Oh Seniors, dear Seniors, Let us never forget The golden haze of student da s That hang around us yet; When da ' s of yore shall come no more. Still through enduring years. In thoughts of you, so good, so true. Shall fill our eyes with tears. ' Senior Class Prophecy ' rri WAS on a warm spring day in the last of April that it happened to me — this I wonderful event of which I am about to tell. The time and place might seem ■ very mauspicious to some people for such an extraordinary occurrence, yet it happened just this way. I was sitting in my usual place in Psychology listening to a lengthy discourse on Imagination. If I had chosen my subject of thought it would perhaps have been something pertaining to the mysterious thrills of entering the world a graduated lass, but with that much-desired goal only a month away and exams between myself and it, I dared not let such airy thoughts enter my tired brain. Against my will, however, and in spite of all my heroic efforts, spring fever over- whelmed me and I was carried away, powerless to resist, by the Sand Man. After my last vain struggle I wearily gave up to be taken wherever he should lead. Suddenly we stopped, my weariness left me in a trice; and once more alert, I looked around to find myself alone with a most beautiful mysterious person who intro- duced herself to me as the Goddess of Dreams. With a radiant smile she extended her jeweled hand to me and said: My dear, to you is given to know the future of each of your class-mates, guard carefully your secret till May 29th, and then turn for each the key to her life — perhaps it will help them. Scarcely breathing, I gazed into the shimmering mirror which she extended to me to see first of all our President, a stout, dignified lady of thirty, seated at her desk in an up-to-date Detroit office bearing the sign Lucile Wilhams, Attorney-at-Law. I gave a gasp of astonishment, but the vision faded immediately and a far dif- ferent scene appeared. In a cosy up-town apartment of a Northern city, I saw our dreamy Dolores seated on a foot-stool before a glowing fire aiding a young minister preparing his next Sunday ' s sermon. How vividly this brought my memory of Dolores rushing for her bi-weekly letter. My reverie was interrupted however, by the the sudden appearance of a long, noisy procession which seemed to be almost wholly composed of women. Curious, I leaned closer and as the line drew near, what was my amazement to recognize in the lead, my two one-time modest class-mates, Renodell Roberts and Myrta Collins, march- ing victoriously, between them a subdued young man, and waving on high their banner of Votes For Women. I could only sigh and say, Such is life. The next view was unmistakably a Western ranch town on a busy day. As the numerous small stores and shops passed before me, I was attracted by a picture pasted in a show window looking as if put there for the benefit of the public. At a glance I recognized my old school-mate. Myrtle Red. Curious to know what had brought her into this wild West country I looked underneath the picture where I saw these words: Every citizen of our town extends to Miss Myrtle Red, the well known New York critic and contributor to the AUantic Monthly, a most hearty welcome to our town. We hope that our Western air will help her to recuperate quickly, but we also hope she will remain with us for a time after she has recovered. I eagerly looked down the street to find a trace of my friend who had become so famous, and sure enough, there she was entertaining a group of children on the play-grounds of a neal little brick school-building. Through an open window I was given a view of the Mathematics room, where all the pupils seemed to have been dismissed with the ex- ception of one who was a tall handsome cowboy. He was at the board pretending to work Trigonometry, but seemed more inclined to smile al the teacher. I was not surprised when I saw that his teacher was none other than Edna Ball. She was paying no attention to him however, for, through the window she saw approaching at a gallop, two familiar khaki-clad figures, her former room-mate, Lela Waltman, and an ardent black-haired, black-eyed lover. The scene slowly changed to a quiet ranch a few miles from this little town. A most beautiful little vine-covered bungalow, where a tiny, curly-haired girl was chasing a butterfly down the lawn, came into view. At a guess I knew this must be Hazel Hurst ' s home. A glance withm confirmed my guess but — stop — who is the beau- tiful, tastily-dressed young lady whom she is greeting so familiarly? Wonder of won- ders again! Her suit case bears the name — Corrie Mitchell, Teacher of English, Mississippi College. Before I realized what had happened those familiar faces had vanished and a magnificent New York hospital loomed up. I was wondering which of my classmates had wandered so far when the head nurse and her assistant came out, leading a host of convalescent children. I could not mistake those lovable faces, they were Lottie Maffett and Mae Davis. Down the street a tall young lady wearing New York ' s latest style, waved at them as she turned m at an office door. I couldn ' t think where I had seen that form before, but it was easily understood when I saw printed in bold letters upon the door — Eunice Welch, Illustrator. Another section of the city came into view and I easily recognized at Altmann ' s, Lois Myers, who, by every sign from her broad smile to the selection of frocks, was buying her trousseau. I was wondering who the lucky man was when I saw her peep into her purse at a very familiar picture which made me wonder no longer, and which also brought back a host of M. W. C. memories of the days when Clinton seemed farther to Lois than Harvard. While I was dreaming the scene had changed to a different continent, from all appearances. South America. Nestling among the mountains, I saw clearly a cozy little home bearing the stamp of the U. S. Government, and wearing aloft the sign G. C. Lee, Civil Engineer. While I was looking I smiled to see Cammie Hurst come to the door and look expectantly up the mountain side. I turned to look also and saw a crowded stage coach coming towards the house. Among the first I saw in the jolly crowd of pleasure seekers were Ruby Riser and Dora Ross, who seemed to be talking as much as ever. The vision faded and I realized that I came next. Breathlessly I was looking into the mirror, waiting, when a sudden vigorous shake made me sit up and look around to see what had happened. From the smiles of those around me I slowly and sadly realized that I had only been dreaming and that instead of being destined to prophesy I was awaited on to recite on Imagination. — Class Prophet. Retrospection 7oo oft are the days of childhood forgot. Too oft Tve bury them deep. And never go hack ' ' ' ' moss-covered spot Where the best years of life lie asleep. happy school-days past and gone You come to me flooding my soul Each day with a joy that ' s all your own. Bringing happy memories of old. Long, yes long, will we remember The fellowship We shared, one with the other. Our Utile band so few in number In our college home together. We ' ve steadily grown from year to year And in each one is a spirit new. We are seventeen now, full of good cheer. And in each breast beats a heart that ' s true To our dear old college We love so Well; She ' s been a mother, with tenderest care. Since within her Walls We ' ve come to dwell She has taught her children to do and dare. With thoughts of pleasures that Were ours My heart is filled till it overflows. Though our paths were not always strewn with flowers. We oft found the thorn beneath the rose. 1 linger in memory on those by-gone times; I often yearn, but all in vain To pluck those flowers of school-girl climes But only in memory will they bloom again. Retrospection! Man ' s guiding star. Thou art like a dove descending; We can see thee from afar. With our sorrows, joys are blending; And there comes a calm sweet rest In recollections, joys that last; Leaving blessings manifest In looking backward o ' er the past. Years roll on — school-mates must pari; Time may leave tears on the brow. And though the parting wound the heart. Memories will linger even as now. Let us not sigh with hearts of sorrow. For we all have joys that last On their happy, glad to-morrow By looking backxvard o ' er the past. -Class Poet.

Once in a Midsummer Night ' s Dream, I was sitting beside a rippling stream. The river Avon, as ' twill soon he seen. This was in England, when Richard HI Performed the feats of which you have heard. A pale moon was rising full and round. In a radiant, shimmering, soft yellow gown. Draping the trees, the rivers and the ground. And the strings of nature were playing in tune. On this dreamy, mellowy night in June. Suddenly my reverie was put to an end. For right ahead at the river ' s bend. Strolled a pair of lovers trying to spin Their yarns of devotion with many a fear Of being pursued by jealous King Lear. IVhat are your names? I as ed with a sigh. Romeo and Juliet was the soft reply. From a party we came here on the sly ; From the Palace of Old King John we came. From a noble lord and a royal dame. My heart was fdled with perfect delight. For another couple appeared in sight. Who were to be married on the Twelfth Night. Antony and Cleopatra were their names These couples were playing identical games. We strolled along in the moonlight pale. Till we came to a porch without any rail. And there we heard a Winter ' s Tale, Told to Macbeth by a love-siclf fellow Who I afterwards learned, was dubbed Othello. We li}(ed the lool(s of this moonlit place And we sauntered in with stately grace. We met some women face to face. They were the Merry Wives of Windsor; They made you forget, what your many sins were. Hamlet sat not far from the door. At a game of po er with Henry IV, And Julius Caesar and one or two more. While some gay lady with Henry the VI, Was on the floor dancing the jolly Maxixe. Cymbeline said to the Merchant of Venice I ' d like you tell me where your twin is Measure for Measure you see, no sin is. To Cymbeline he said, which might have been true; I left him at home a ' Taming the Shrew. ' Troilus and Cressida came in from the slicl(s hrom a moonlight spin in their new Super Six. Said, Love ' s Labor ' s Lost and life ' s all tricl(s. This Comedy of Errors please don ' t evr tell, But As You Like It, All ' s Well Tl.al Ends Well.

We want them to realize the need of Christian workers. We pray that many may grow into strong leaders so that when they go out to train the minds of other young people they may bring them to the great Teacher. In order to develop the threefold nature, Spiritual training must be given; for the spiritual side is just as important as the mental or physical. One of our chief means of giving this training is through the Young Woman ' s Auxiliary of which practically all the girls are members. Until this year, our time of meeting was after school, but because of the fact that our curriculum is so full this year, and so much extra work had to be done at this time, compelling many of the girls to miss the meeting, the faculty kindly consented to give us one chapel period each week for our Young Woman ' s Auxiliary work. We feel very proud that we were one of the seven schools withm the bounds of the Southern Baptist Convention that attained the Standard of Excellence last session. In recognition of this fact we were presented with a beautiful banner at the State Con- vention this year, by Miss Mary RatHff of Raymond, Miss., who is the College Cor- respondent of the Young Woman ' s Auxihary. Another phase of our work is the mission study classes of which we have had this session more than forty. These classes are taught usually on Sunday afternoon and the leaders themselves are students. The subject matter studied in these classes includes the lives of the great missionaries such as Judson and Livingstone and conditions in foreign fields, both past and present. Our aim is to make each mission class a complete circle, a miniature Young Woman ' s Auxihary as it were, electing its own officers, and donating its own gifts. One of our sweetest services is that of the twilight prayer-meeting which meets each evening after supper in both dormitories. This little service had its origin among the girls themselves the first year of the school and is conducted by volunteers from among their number. If we instill in the girls the spirit of unselfishness, no matter what else we may do we feel that our accompli shment has been great. May the desire for service be en- gendered in each heart and may we learn to pray this prayer: Lord, let me live from Jap to day In such a self-forgetful tvay. That even when I kneel to pray. My prayer shall he for others. We wish to bring our girls into close fellowship with Jesus, to strengthen in their minds the desire to take Him into partnership in whatever they may undertake. A house, though it is fitted up ever so perfectly with electric fixtures, can not be lighted by electricity until it is connected with the power house. So it is with Christian work, however systematic the machinery, without God ' s own power, all is vain. May the real power in our own lives sound this note of sincerity. Be what thou seemest: Live thy creed: Hold up to earth a torch divine; Be what thou prayest to be made. Let the Great Master ' s steps be thine. SCENARIO BY SOPHOMORE CLASS 1 . Jack Lofton, a ranch- er, tells his daughter, Billy, of his promise to his wife to send their little girl away to school. 2. With sad heart Billy tells her father and home good-bye, mounts her pony, Nip, and accompanied by her faithful friend, Ned, she follows her little old trunk across the country about sixty miles to a school for young women. 3. Ned and Billy arrive at the school; they are met by the president ' s family, some teachers and a num- ber of very curious girls for the quaint little trunk has preceded Billy and aroused great curiosity. Even Aunt Mandy is al- most consumed by it. 4. Ned takes his depart- ure after giving Billy a small pistol and explaining to her how to send a call if she ever wants to come home so he can meet her with her pony. 5. Billy unpacks her trunk and can not under- stand the look of disgust she sees on the face of her fastidious room-mate, Pris- cilla. 6. Priscilla takes advantage of her first opportunity to tell the girls what the funny little trunk contains. 7. Billy resents being an object of curiosity to the girls and holds herself aloof. 8. Billy enjoying a cool drink after a long solitary ramble through the wild wood. 9. Billy is reprimanded for leaving the campus without a chaperon. , 1 0. Billy resents this re- if proof and determines to go home. She prepares the call. 1 I . Billy starts out to mail the card she is send- ing to Ned. She meets Aunt Mandy with the president ' s baby. It smiles. Billy is captivated. 12. Ned receives the call and starts to meet Billy. 1 3. Billy prepares to run away. She sees the empty baby buggy. She sees some , Indians hurrying away with a child. --« 1 4. Billy determines to follow. 15. The Indians strike camp. Billy comes up and asks to be allowed to stay with them, telling them that she has lost her way and that she is too foot-sore to travel farther. 1 6. Aunt Mandy misses the baby. 1 7. The missing Billy and the missing baby create consternation among the girls and fill the older hearts with fear and dread. I 8. Ned, on his way, is turned aside by cries of distress in the woods. 1 9. Ned just in time to frighten away the Indians who, thinking Billy unable to travel with them, decid( to leave her bound in th( woods. In their haste they leave the baby. 20. Billy and Ned carry the baby back. 2 1 . Aunt Mandy is first to see them re- turning. 11. Billy tells the whole story to the happy, grateful parents and to the group of school-mates whose curiosity has changed into the greatest admiration. 23. Billy and Ned again saying good-bye. Both are now entirely recon- ciled to college life for Billy. Ned hears another and a different call — a call to a higher service which only the educated can render. He, too, will enter college.

When he opened the muffler he found inside the photograph of a beautiful girl, with a note couched in these terms : Mf you are single please write to me. ' A name and an address followed and the man smiled. lie was single. lie placed the photo on his library table. In a week he had fallen in love with the picture of the beautiful girl. So he wrote to her. A week passed; during which the bachelor was in a fever of impatience. Finally he received this terrific blow in the shape of a letter: ' Dear Sir: — The Mary Jones to whom you wrote was my grandmother. She died nine years ago, aged eighty-seven. Yours truly. ' Upon investigating this strange case, this broken-hearted bachelor discovered that he had purchased the muffler from a dealer who did not advertise. — Taylor Store Ghat.
