Make tliis your goal, girls. A goal not at tained is not nearly so bad a.s no goal at all.. It is true that it will take hard work to get it, but what is tJiere that is worth possessing that does not take hard work to got? So let's don’t come here to be shallow “butterflies,” a finishing school is the place for them, but make onr Alma Mater a place where the liighest type of Christian young wonuiniiood is rounded out and developed. ■VVhat have you read this week besides your text-book or some required reading? Was it of value to you—as the Atlantic Monthly would be—or was it something trashy, a moving picture book, or “"Whijsz 13ang,” which meant time thrown away? Most of us fail to read as much as we should and lots of \\s, when we do read, do not read the ]-ight things. Remembei' we will be graded oji the kind of literatiire we rend. Oui- college gets good nuigazinos and many new.spapei's which are in 1he library for our use. If we would spcntl a liltle time cai'li day reading an article or two in a good nuigazine and the lieadlinos—if nothing more —in the newspapers, we could keep in toucli with aH'airs of eommoii interest and lie welt informed about current topics. Also we would be enabled to talce an inteUigioit part in general conversatiini. That's anotlier point in connection with the “.score card'\ We are going to talk about something more worth while than nnr (‘vpvv-clav gossin. Why arc‘ viiu at Mt'rcdith? Most of us. if iiskcil this (|iic-s!ion, would laughingly reply; ••Because my mother and fathei- sent me.’' But way down UNiierneatli this mirthful exterior, really why did you come? Wliy are you here s|)e]iding, we do not say, throw ing away, time and moiu-y? Tt is earnestly hoped that you did not come to have a big time, with all )>hiy and no work. If you lid. we are perfectly sure that you liave lo]ig since given u]) that idea, for it is a well-known fact that Meredith is no l)lay-groiind for young women. Again it is hoped that you did not come to get the ))i'ivi!;'ge of saying. v. ne asl:; you,—“Oh! i went to school at Mereditii.” This type of a girl is not a good adver tisement for Meredith. We do not want a single girl liere who does not have a stead fast aim to grow mentally, -spiritually, ))hysieally and socially, and to devohip into the all round, four-square girl. No girl who comcs without a definite worthwliile )->urpose will have the backbone to stay to i-eccivc her diploma at the end of four years. To the freshmen and sophomores especially, let me urge that they make their plans to was of white Duchess .satin and rose point lace with court train. Her tulle veil was triunned with rare old lace that has been in her family for generations, and her shower bouquet was of lilies of the valley. She wore two striking ornaments—ojio a jjlatinum ring set with diamonds and ame thyst, the gift of the groom, and the other a platinum necklace with amethyst, a wed ding gift from Mrs. Charles Felton Scott, of New Haven, Conn. Notable among the wedding gifts were Rub.stantial cheeks from the j)arenls of both bride and groom.

Mrs. Hnmber is the secoiul daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Higgs. She is an A. B. graduate of Meredith College, class of 1917, and is a young woman of fine intellect and charming j)er.sonality.
