teeth,
They why shouldn't booth in the plural

If the plural of man la always called

Why shouldn't thQ plural of pan be

A cow in the plural is properly kine,
But a bow if repeated is never called

Then one may be that and two would
be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose
We speak of a brother and alao of
brethren,
But though we say mother we never
say methren.
The masculine pronouns are he, his,

But imagine a feminine she, shis and

If the old adage of j“everything
passes the slumberer by” still holds
true, certainly much Is lost from our
college life, judging from chapel at
tentiveness—or lack of it. Perhaps
you do want to work that last math
problem or write those French sen
tences while the hymns are sung, and
feel that you simply must glance over
your Biology notes for the quiz next
period, regardless of the scripture
reading; maybe that half-hour seems
the very time to tell your next-door-
nci&hbor what the "boy friend” said
iu his letter this morning or how
you're going to have that attractive
now print made, but instead of taking
Chapel as a period and place for doing
a slighted assignment or for carrying
on social conversations it would be
Infinitely more pleasurable and profi
table in the long run to give yourself
wliole lieartedly to worship, The only
time lately that the undivided atten
tion of the student body has been
focused on one thing, was when every
neck was craned to see the Seniors
inarch in wearing their caps and
gowns. Although you know your voice
is a holy horror, you can be reverent
enough to stand during the hymns, and
if you have neglected your correspond
ence or studies, don't desecrate the
Chapel hour by pursuing either one,

Jeanie, do you know that Georgiana,
our housekeeper. Is going to be mar

Joanie; Oh, I'm so glad we're getting
rid of that old pelican. Won't it be
jolly? But who is going to marry her?
jTather: Well, I am,—Montreal Star.
