It seems to us that everyone with any sort of an apprecia tion for the beautiful would avail herself of an opportunity to hear the Philadelphia Sym phony Orchestra, even though the program may be only broad cast. Yet we strive to convince ourselves that it is not so when we realize how small a per centage of the girls heard the music on Sunday evening. Of course, the weather was inclem ent, but it was not bad enough to have interfered seriously with the plans of those who really wanted to hear the con cert. It is to be hoped that the col lege community will avail it self more fully of the oppor tunity to hear the regular Sun day afternoon concerts, which begin next Sunday afternoon, and are rendered by the college music faculty. There is yet another thing! This matter of meetings of va rious sorts which concerns every Meredith student sometimes runs into difficulty either through conflict w'ith another meeting or because its constit uency w'as not properly and promptly notified. Only last week three meetings, each in volving a large portion of the student body, were supposed to have been held simultaneously. This happening was inexcusable but was apparently unavoidable. There is but one solution to the problem. Arrange all dates for meetings, however unimportant they may appear, in advance with the dean of women. Then announce the meeting long enough ahead for the girls to plan to attend it, and often enough to allow no opportunity for their forgetting it. If you will do the first thing suggested, we shall be glad to help you do the other two by publishing each week a social or engagement calendar for the ensuing week. We ask your hearty coSperation in this scheme. But of course, Oscar, one naturally would expect a young lady geologist to marry some old fossil.—Ex. THROUGH THE WOODS How delightful to stroll through the woods to the drug store on these crisp autumn aft ernoons when the sun shines gayly down through brightly- colored autumn leaves, with patches of blue, blue sky show ing between the trees and the slight “tang” in the air makes one feel like going on and on into the very heart of autumn. But have you tried walking down the little path shortly after a shower of rain ? I must confess that it isn’t so pleasant even if drops did not have a tendency to fall from the trees down one’s back, or land on the end of the nose, smearing the powder so that one almost wishes that her “S.P.” will not be “checking” up Hillsboro road. But the water, which comes down is not half as bad as that which comes up. The path be comes a miniature river and swamp combined at the end near the road, and to get red clay all over a particularly “cute” pair of shoes is anything but pleas ant, but just wait until you get back and try to clean the afore said shoes—“that’s where the fun comes in.” The mud seems determined to “stick through thick and thin,” and even through rubbing and scrubbing. And what an unnecessary waste of “elbow grease” that would not even be necessary if there were a few boards across the hopeful stream.—E. B. MORNING WATCH There is an old story of the ancients that tells us of the foun tain of youth, a fountain searched for far and wide by old and young alike. Many an old man had entered the grave while on the quest; many a young man grown gray. But as the tale is told, only one, and that the fair daughter of Pha- roah, the king of Egypt, ever discovered the spring. And the Arabic legend runs on to tell why she, of the many hundreds, was rewarded for her search. The conclusion was plain and simple, yet filled with a wealth of hidden meaning. She alone had stepped out from the rushed highways where the throngs of men were thick and had blazed a solitary trail into the desert, to find what?—the fountain at the end of the way. Did you know there was such a fountain within our reach, a fount with waters far more poignantly sweet and greatly healing than those of the Egyp tian pool; a fountain that bub bles fresh each morning at day break, and at the musical sound of its flow seems to be calling calling us to “come and drink .nd live”; a fount at which every girl with her joys as well as her duties and sorrows can gain a wondrous strength to face the problems of the day? And it’s not for your harm to go and it’s at the most beautiful hour of the day, and if you would know the secret joys of these early morn ing searches for truth and beauty, come to the parlor to morrow morning at 7:30 and listen to the call of the fountain! What is that it is saying? Closer put your ears to the brink; lis ten, quietly; the words are dis tinct, irresistible: “Lord, what a change within us one short hour Spent in thy presence will nvtxll to make! What heavy .burdens from our bosoms take; Wliat parched grounds refresh, as with a shower! We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all the distant and the near Stands forth in sunny outline, brave and clear! We kneel, liow weak! We rise, how full of power! Why, therefore, should we do our selves this wrong. Or others, that we are not always strong; That we are ever overborne with care; That we should ever weak or heart less be, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?" OREON BOSTICK. forming, for not all of us are en dowed with a sylphlike figure or the grace of a Pavlowa. But the girls with the avoirdupois, the rusty-hinge joints, or the debutante slouch will find a little supervised drilling, if not pleas ant in the immediate present, to be profitable in the long run.— D. L. A DATE WITH JIM “If I could only get out of gym today,” is our commonest campus comment. From the general antipathy towards a few moments of directed exercise during the week, quite a num ber of our girls must be subject to chronic inertia, fallen arches, or an inferiority complex; though we see very few indica tions of any of these ailments in any phase except where com pulsory calisthenics are con cerned. To see and hear a girl come sprinting down the hall to answer a phone call, one would never imagine that a round or two of very sedate marching or folk dancing could hold such ter ror for her. If all the girls who answer “observing” were really indisposed, a new infirmary for Meredith would be forthcoming. Instead of giving our bodies the training in coordination that they need, we choose this time set aside for it to write letters, hurry through a neglected as signment, or giggle at the mis directed efforts of others; and assuredly this critical attention from the sidelines is not partic ularly appreciated by those per- FRANK ~ WILL Specialists ♦ 0 K M N X (Answer New HATS Charming' New Metallic Hats Modestly Priced from $g.00 to $g.50 ELUSBERG’S 120 Fnyottovillo Street Author Makes Gift of Books to College (Continued trom pnse one) Perhaps one of the things that makes her most interesting, however, is her collection of pic tures, music manuscripts, auto graphed photographs, and many other priceless articles. This collection was begun by her mother and represents years of collection. The walls of her rooms are lined with pictures, from the floors to the ceiling. Starting in the dining-room and walking through the different rooms the pictures make a his tory of music covering five hun dred years, and every picture is full of interest to anyone inter ested in music. Miss Crawford wrote to the Congressional Library in Wash ington and told them that if there was anything in her collec tion they wanted she would be glad for them to have it. After two representatives from the Library had looked over the col lection they declared that they wanted the entire collection. Miss Crawford wanted it all to go where it would mean the most in the advancement of music. And there in the Library of Congress it will be, where everyone can see it, and it will not be scattered. Her whole life has been marked by generosity and a spirit of helpfulness. And these books she has given to the Li brary of Meredith College will serve as reminders of her kind ness and consideration.
