Again—we miss nni' r'ditor, VVe were indeed sorry to hear that Virginia Branch found it necessary to leave school for some time because of ill health. She left for her homo in Enlleld last Thursday, and no definite time has been given for her return. Her piano recital, which was scheduled I'or March 2, has been indefinitely post poned. Mildred Fowler, who was called homo bei'ause of the Illness of her brother, returned to school on Sunday night. Miss Biownlee, instructor in Depart- niont of Biology, left Sunday night for her home in Mississippi because of I ho (loath of her sister. We were in dued sorry to hear of death in her I'amily, and shall be thinking of her (luring the da.vs of her absence. -Mis-s Mary Covington' Monroe, sister lu Miss Evabell Cdvingtnn, former duan of women here, was the guest of .Miss Caroline IJiggers last week. Miss Ctjvingion practices t^aw in Monroe, and wa.s in Raleigh for the Educational (.'onf(;ronu(; which met last week. She was accnni))anie(l by Mrs. Ashcraft, also of Monroe, "What destiny befell Main Building with Its towers and ivy?” asks Ada Briggs. And Ellen Brewer (?) an swers. "It has changed so much. Main Building Was transformed into Man sion Park Hotel.” Now, Mansion Park Hotel is adver tised along our .highways as “The travellers' paradise—100 rooms, 100 baths—free parking sirace”—and so far as we know, lives up to It all. "Where did they get the 100 rooms? Where the 100 baths?” They just made them. The paradise Is quite visible in the shaded lawn, the flower beds and gravelled walks, the lights upon the tall brick pillars at the drive ways. The parking space (now hold your breath) the parking space is that stately stretch of academic green where, in ye old days, the rose trellis grew by the sundial, and where suc cessive Sophomores, holding their daisy chains, sang smiling through tears to their Seniors on class days. Arriving at Mansion Park, still towered, still ivied, still memory crowded, one goes formally, not by way of the stairs to the second floor, (those stairs are gone.) One walks across a level porch to the door on first floor, and enter. It is then that one knows It is Meredith, no longer. Mr. Ferrell's of fice and the laundry room have become cozily furnished Hote^ Parlors, thrown togetlier by an archway. Dr. Brewer's office and the town girls room are, evi dently, still ofllces. One walks straight ahead to the desk before the old cen tral door of the dining room to regls- ler or Inquire for guests. And, I find, if one says she is an old Mere(Jith girl, she is offered an escort for a tour of the building. They started me on the fourth floor, whizzed upward on a quite modern elevator. And I thought how many miles of step climbing it would have saved “Miss Ida” and “Son" in the days gone by. Happening to say “Studio” on the way up we turned naturally to the North—the right—on leaving the ele vator, Into a raftered hall with rooms, and rooms opening off it. The sky lights light this iiall and rooms have Just materialized out of odd corners and even corners and this and that, once studio domain. They showed me one room up there that was neat and simple and comfortable as a Hotel room should be. But down on second Iloor I did expect to find old parlors where old parlors had been—and the door of North back parlor were ajar disclosing twin beds. Shades of the Piist! That room had, until that mom ent lived vividly in my memory, in- MEREDITH RINGS, SEALS AND PINS Sold exclusively by JOLLY’S Jewelers Since 1881 J. J.
