DON’T RUSH! All of those lyric melodies about dreams coming true have usually been classified as the product of a highly imaginative mind or an over- optimistic nature. However, time seems to have rolled hack in its fliglit, and placed us in the age of some thing that might be called miracles. Tiie dream of the underclassmen has at last become an actual, concrete realization, which will probably ne cessitate the installation of tele phones in every dormitory room. We have access to a new parlor— small, and secluded from the public eye, both from the front or inner doors and from the curious rubber- nreking of tliose individuals in trans it. Although this new fixture does not boast palms and a tinkling foun tain, or a sky light through which any kind of a moon there might be may shine; or a comfortable, open fireplace, by which winter nights are made so enclianting'—even though it will possess none of tliese features, there is no doubt that this parlor will have “It.” Perhaps the attraction will be in the suggestion of them good old days back home, or perhaps —well, perhaps we’d better leave otf tlie reasons why, before the matter is reconsidered by the authorities. The popularity of such a parloi >eing somewhat (???) assured, the icconnuodation of the mob will be a lerious problem.

Here in an ancient country mansion called Jalna, where the fam ily of Whiteoaks live. Here Miss de la Roche’s magnificent power of characterization is played up to the point of its clever climax. The old grandmother holds the center of the itage. She has a dominating per sonality and a rather winning one and only the person who reads the 1 fully appreciate “Gran” herself. Next in importance comes Renny, the head of the clan, who rules with an iron hand all the Whiteoaks. He is likened aptly to fox—lean, swift, read-beaded, keen, hot-tempered, and withall, fas- inating. The other Whiteoaks down the line in order of their importance are Renny’s brothers and sisters— indeed, all this unusual family, who help to make a fascinating enthrall ing tale of the Anglo-Canadian fam ily in Ontario. The story is that which has been used by a number of authors but which is more skillfully portrayed by ■Mazo de la Roche than by any of lier contemporaries. The old grand mother is very wealthy and eccent to tile extreme—to such an extc that she keeps her whole family apprehension and a fevered pitch of guessing to whom she will leave all of her wealth. She has told theiv that it shall go in a lump sum tr one member of the family. Tht whole story deals with their efforts to ingratiate themselves, and to get into her good graces by any method possible. One day Renny is her fa- orite, the next it is little Wakefield on whom she smiles. Thus hei wealth sways back and forth, to the great consternation of all of her pos sible heirs.
