In reply to a request for a characterization,
the following, which is a tribute to a former
teacher, was handed in by Nora McSwain:
One bright afternoon last spring, while
passing the door of the back pai"lor, I heard
the sound of low, sweet music. Tapping on
the door, I was answered by a gentle voice,
saying, “Come in.” On entering, I saw a
motherly, white-haired woman, dressed in
black, seated at the piano.’ Behind her was
a window filled w'ith flowers; she loved them
as s;he did her music, and devoted all her leis-
I’.re time to her garden and her potted plants.
She was also very fond of children, and did
all that was in her power.to make everything
interesting and amusing while they were near
her. Every one she met was greeted with a
smile and a pleasant word, and so I knew I
was welcome when I heard the cheery, “Come
in'”
M. B. K., while practicing the senior play,

Miss D. corrected her and gave the correct
pronounciation, whereupon M. B. K.- remark

I took down h-e-r-b.”
