Sunday morning, Sunday quietude.
A beautiful, glistening day in early
spring. Outside are green trees and
budding flowers everywhere. Dew-
drops glitter like diamonds on the
•sky-blue periwinkles, golden jon
quils, and yellow jasmine. A squir
rel chirping merrily scampers ove
upper campus finally climbing one
of the giant trees. These are the
first signs of awaking day in na-
Sunday morning, and “All the
world’s a-tune.” “A-tune,” is right,
for the first sign of awaking day
in Clewell is somebody (whether
Piney or Dot Thompson, we daresn't
say) breaking the Sunday quiet with
a lusty straining of lier vocal chords:
“B-r-ringing in tha sheaves,
B-r-ringing i-in tha sheaves.
We sha-hal come rejo-oy-eing,
B-r-ringing i-in tha sheaves”
iJke an echo another voice in the
other end of the hall answers with:
“A tu-turn to tha ri-ight,
A little white li-ight.
Will lead you to
Al-my bl-lue Heaven.”
Then the sound of mops scrubbing,
of buckets splashing water down the
hall, of Piney’s lusty yelling, of
broom-handles knocking against the
doors—arouse the drowsy ones from
their Sunday morning beauty sleep.
If you were to listen closely one
might hear inside these closed doors
blasphemous sounds emitted towards
maids, mops, and mundane affairs
in general, from certain sleepy
tliroats.
“Some day they’re going to wash
this place away,” comes from
grey eat behind a certain closed
door.
“Yeh, remember the Johnson
flood?” comes from the other cat
behind the same closed door.
I'inally the washers and cleaners
depart, mops, brooms, buckets, and
all, and silence reigns for five min
utes while the bundled figures on
all the grey eats creep back tliank-

GOD
I think about God.
Yet I talk of small matters.
Now isn’t it odd
How many idle tongues chatter!
Of quarrelsome neighbors,
Fine weather and rain.
Indifferent labors.
Indifferent pain.
Some trivial style
Fashion shifts with a nod.
And yet all the while,
I am thinking of God.
—Bradford.
SUNDAY MORNING AN OLD FRIEND SPEAKS
fully
the
of
Morpheus. Then—t h e telephone
rings, rings, RINGS persistently,
everlastingly, eternal it seems, and
all tlie figures on the grey cats stir
restlessly. Someone answers the
phone finally, goes to the side win
dow “Catherine I.eiby, Catherine
I.eib}',” so that all the world may
know the popular recipient of a
phone call. And when the doorbell
buzn-buzzes for a full half-ho
the skinny or restricted girl;
jabbering loudly from breakfast, the
huddled figures on the grey
renounce their beauty sleep
eternally lost. They get upj and
stroll bad-temperedly in their red
eoolie-coats, striped pajamas, .'i(nd
zinc ointment spotted faces, down
the hall for their “Specials.” After
finding one from the One-and-Only
and one from mama, each afore
mentioned bad-tempered one skips
good-naturedly back to her room
just in time to hear the first ehurch-
Half an hour later one can hardly
recognize the beautiful girls in the
droopy dresses, bright spring hats,
spike heels, gloves, and furs, as the
same bundled figures of the grey
eats half an hour before. These
jaunty figures proceed up the street
to an opened Church door waiting to
receive them. As they enter, the
organ peels forth its welcome in the
bright Sunday morning air. Then
in the hush of proper Sunday
quietude is gained at last.

No better tales can be told than
those whose happenings have been
essed by a silent onlooker, who,
; he has no part in the action,
note every detail and bit of
artion of others. The old basket
ball rourt was just that sort of a per
son, and a few' hours before its days
were ended I stole down to the ter
race and begged it to tell me some
of the things it remembered most
vividly about days gone by. This
was what I heard:
“Well, in the old times, you know,
I was the best tennis court on the
hill. Popularity was certainly mine,
then. While some wer eplaying,
others wohld sit off on the side
trying to look polite when they i
realh' wishing that, ‘Plague take it,’
those girls would quit some time and
give them a chance. And, do you
know, after about every game they’d
have to stop awhile and talk. Boy'
I heard some of the best secrets and
after them the silliest giggles. I
couldn’t see anything funny in ’em,
but those girls certainly could.
I always dreaded the days I had
to be rolled! That old heavy thing
was terrible and I was glad wh
tliev decided I was to be a basketball
court because I hoped I’d be do
with that ordeal. But, no sin
Dot Thompson just made it woi
than ever, asking that man to always
be tromping on me.
I had to laugh at the girls, though,
after that. They didn’t stop to t
secrets any more. Miss Atkins
just ke])t them humping all the time
and it was my turn to giggle, onl;
I don’ tthink that’s dignified so I
just chuckled to myself.

Now you can let hospitals guide
you in your choice of sanitary
protection, because 85% of them,
the great outstanding hospitals of
America, today use the same ma
terial of which Kotex is made . . .
Cellucotton (not cotton) absorbent
wadding.
Cellucotton is not cotton, but a
cellulose substance which perfornjs
the same sanitary function, with 5
times the absorbency.
The fact that Kotex deodorizes
is another aid to daintiness. And—
the fifst reason that many women
began using Kotex: it is disposable,
instantly and completely. That alone
is enough to have changed the hy
gienic habits of women all over the
world. Kotex Company. Chicago, 111.
KOTEX IS SOFT . . .
1—Not a deceptive softness, that
soon packs into chafing hard
ness. But a delicate, fleecy
softness that lasts for hours.
2—Safe, secure . . . keeps your
5—Deodorizes, safely, thorough
ly, by a special process.
4—Disposable, instantly, com
