But, siiicc it happened far from Mfredith I hiotv little about it ex cept the exclaviations and cxplana- Hons I have heard here. There may be society cats—but so far. I’m con tent with the simple life. Speakinff of the simple life—well, a liitle variety now and then applies to cats as well as men! Thank-igiving Day brought a holiday to the people here, and I felt I could pause for awhile and gain a little much needed rest. You’ve no idea hoiv I have to keep on my toes around here and keep my eyes open to find out all that’s goi?ig on. fVell, this day I paused in earnest—took a cat nap and then svaeet spirits of cranberries! floiv I ate! I hardly recognized my self after dinner. I’m still feeling droxasy—(pardon the yaton!) If I go out tonight I will probably be iti a somnambulistic State!

Just listen around a bit today at tlie talk going on ,about—for yesterday was Tluuiksgiving Day, and, oh, the joys it I>rought! “Did you have a good tiine.^” You’ll hear one ask. “Oh, grand!” tlie other rci)Hes, “I got home by six o’clock Wednesday, for you know tliat bus simj)ly flies! And was I glad to see the folks! Mother and Dad and all. And oh—let me tell you—Jim camc down, and I’d not seen him all this Fall! But what did you do? Did you have heaps of fun.^” “Well, I should say I did! I went to the game in Charlottesville and, lion, went with Jack and “Jlun”! and then on two others wc listen in as the}' stop to talk in the hall. By their faccs I think they must have had tlie loveliest time of them all. Ye.s, Mother Wouldn’t It Jar You? Our soph English teacher (whose name always finishes the smile “as proud as a ”) has the lovely habit of opening each class with the request, “Get out a piece of scrap paper please.” The latest one of those little dail}' dozens brought out some more very interesting facts. Sir Walter Scott Avrotc “The Sketch Rook,” and I^’alstaff was a character in Hamlet. But these are nothing in comparison with the statement that “Adam Bede” is an “Ecclesiastical History.” Shades of George Eliot! What does tlie Venerable Bede think of that? Did it jar him? We ask you. Twio headlines state that “Mcrcditli Girls” will give re cital, and the article is concerned with the faculty trio recital, wo wonder if they took it as a compliment or did it jar them slightly? t EXCHANGE t 4 Here’s a modern dictionary fi'om the Queem Blues of Queens College: College—where one spends several thousand dollars for an education and then prays for a lioliday to comc on a school day. Banana peel—^a standing in vitation to sit down. Modei-n girl—one who can meet the wolf at the door and come out with a fur coat. Kiss—man’s first cooperative movement. Soup—loose hash Grasshopper—a dull lawn mowei’. No Floxvers Please Geoffrey of Monmouth, Laya mon, and Malory give excellent pictures of carnation^ in English society. Plagiarism is using words not in the dictionary.—Virgmia Intermont Cauldrun. Seniors at Agnes Scott College celebrated “Little Girl Day” recently. How about doing it liere.^ Dr. Winston, in telling of all the many processes which are car ried on in the liuman body, says we are really living test tubes, and thi.s surprised us, that with all the manufacturing activities which go on we don’t have steam contiiiually pouring out of our ixjidimouth and nose. Wouldn’t that giving service at seven fifteen jiisb started the day off right. M}’- mother and father were here for “:!2” n]>oii whieh (hey had ”azed the day so ’twas perfect from wliol(' year sIom'Iv ilisaji jieai’, ii> b(* rfjilaced l)v a ‘‘.’W’ of e(|uiil siz‘ and color, ^^■h(*n ihe Sia((!

Those boxes we took to those need}' homes nijide it l,mp]jier for everyone.” And so with the thrill of autumn and the joys of family, then the very last trace of “rw|f,iends, a bit of unselfishness, Sopli Spirit” will dejiart and ; pleasures as great as scarcely a (he “S])irit of 33” w’ill reign. I day ever sends, we sui-mise ’twas jar you? It did the class. One of our sentimental sophs fell in love with the eyes of the Pagan city horn blower as seen in a picture whicli was passed around English class among others of England. Sir Martin I'l-obisher also seemed to have appealing eyes. We’re re minded of “Minnie Cheevy.” IVovldii't It Jar You? It would have the original of the 2)icture. We wonder «’hat our six known readers tluiik of our column’s being quoted in chajicl. Wouldn't It Jar Me? I didn’t know the column was that famous. a fine Thanksgiving, a wonderful holiday, when everything seemed to go just right “in the finest sort of way.” Raise a slab for Fannie Blister, She thought she could pass on the grades of her sister. MEREDITH TRIO GIVES ARTISTIC RECITAL Empty Mail Box: “Blessed are they who expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed.” Our five favorite exchanges in order of preference; The Caro linian; High Life (Greensboro), Saleviite, Wa lie Journal (Walla Walla, Wash.), and the Chronicle. ■ Live and Learn; There are 14 boys enrolled at E. C. T. C. Some tilings we like—the jokes in The Rotunda, the pictures of the college in the Choxoanian; the feature, “Thoughts While Sitting,” in the Saleinite, the editorial page in the High Life, and Cat Naps in the Carolinian. Tile program of chamber music presented by Misses Char lotte Armstrong, Alverda Rosel, and Martha Galt, in Meredith College auditorium Sunday afternoon, November 23, was heard by a large audience includ ing a number of townspeople. This was one of the series of faculty concei’ts presented on Sunday afternoons by the music faculty of Mereditli College. Tlie conceii;, a very enjoyable one, was opened by three move ments from Mozart’s *‘Trio in G. Opus 16,” in the second movement, “Andante” with its quiet melody and variations of theme being the best of the three movements.. Mendelssohn’s “Andante Con Moto Tranquillo,” the rendition of which was characterized by delicacy and beauty; and Schu bert’s difficult “Sclicrzo” made up^the second group of numbers. The last group, composed of modern compositions, was per haps the most enjoyable of the three, and was brought to a cli max by “Autumn and Winter,” a brilliant composition from “The Seasons” by Glazounow. “Water Fall” by Venth and “Melodie in D” by Faure wore, the other two attractve numbers in this group.
