at chloroform and ether alone with
the foroe of the surgeon's *nlfe did
aot nop Gladys from talking. I aat
? jrtfh her throughout the night and at
latervall even la her dellrlam she
would cry ?ut In a domineering peda
gogical tone, "Naw, girls that's the
laat time I'm going to explain that
theorem of Mr*. Wlnfrled'i hat to yon.
? My teacher didn't hare to tell me
about n but once." "But, continued

Gladys seemed to know everything
about you people . "I didn't know un
til then, Josephine that you had been
traveling With the Swarthmore Chau
tauaua and that you have really been
?njoying that beautiful golden tyre
that you longed for so long."
Josephine said, "Yoa, sir, I wish you
folks could imagine my surprise when
Virginia Perry ? you know she's a
^ pianist in the same company ? and I
were walking down Broadway ode ?1
?ternoon and we met Myrtle Drake right
lace to face. I believe the waa hap
pier rirtt tjmt minute than I had evet
about her wonderful plans. What
were they Myrtle?" "
Myrtle waa ]uat bubbling over with
th# thrill ot enthusiasm and antici
pation when she said "Oh, listen girls
fltwry ttinmiilnlraf what I am going
to do. I can hear the b&iid peacefully.
HMreefuUy playing "Who'd have
thought it". I am planning to sail In
August for Parla ? to ? slniijf French
styles. I have been running a French
Modiste shop for the last two years in
1 truiingham and I like it exceedingly
well. Mama thinks I should stay at
_ home ind recuperate. But I think '
1*11 wait 'a year or two for that ? ?
wouldn't you?
"I certainly would Myrtle"? readily
agreed Gord ? Now look here, its my
time to he i"nii?Ho"? a little now.
I've been so quiet at this affair until
I'm nearbout crazy. Now I'm going
to talk some and describe to you my
little "Church in the Wildwood". It's
the dearest little spot you know and
it really is In Kalamazoo. I've been
there now for three years ? even since
finishing my theological course at the
Louisville Seminary ? and I feel like I
have accomplished some very material
work there . My congregation seem
to understand me and I have become
peculiarly attached to them. Why,
when i am talking? on Sunday morn
ings everybody is so interested there's
not a son! in my audience that makes
a bit more noise than Alma Perry Is
making right now.
Alma, what have you been doing
since we quit riding to school on the
Mapleville truck?"
ahe just had to tall us
Why. Gordon. Tm Mill riding on
that ItaflffUli truck yet. I go to
Loolsburg every mo ruing with the
school folk* to my kindergarten work
connected with tli* Graded School.
Kenney Pierce drove for us this term
but he graduated this year and I don't
know who will hare charge of us next
year. I am going to carry you See
tore up there tomorrow to show yon
that lovely school building that Mr.
Milli finally did get and tt la fixed Just
as he wished It to be ? every part of
it . The kindergarten rooms are Ideal
? then there are accommodations for
Domestic Science for the big girls, a
vocational department lor the boya
and a well equipped gymnasium tor
all. And too, you must see that won
tlrrful 1 library You can hardly ret
tn the tdaa__Qf thoee quiet,
studious pupils, studying and uatng
those Reference Books lfr doing inter
ligent research work. They are the
most Independent children 1 haze ever
seen. You would neter think oT
them being any relation to us Do
you remember what nightmares oui
Civics and History and Virgil used to
be to us because we didn't know how
nor where to look things up."
About this time the fifth course wag
ended and as the daihty sliver com

Class song. We did not Hesitate (or

well. Just because I dont know exact
ly why, but some Psychological .mo

sing. "The End of a Perfect Day."

Since time Immemorial Polly has
had a host of devotees at her shlnei.
It matters not how far removed from
tlie realms of common sense or how
offensive to the cannon of good taste
are her mandates, there seems to be
no diminution tn the ranks of the loyal
adherents of Folly and Foolishness.
Even our class of 1922 has not been
immune, for we are all her victims ev
?er submissive to her slightest whims.
As love laughs at the locksmith so
Folly laughs at school teachers with
their stern books and Iron clad rules.
A little nonsense now and then is rel
ished by the best of men. It gives
rest to life and it has been Indulged In
by even our August class this class
composed of members with minds cap
atle of grasping the most obtruse sub
ject.
Every one has a mental lapse occas
ionally.- The teachers know? this and
forgive us. The truth is, they should
be grateful to us for relieving the mo
notony of school life, especially the
monotony of examinations by frequent
absurdities. While those teachers
may rail and storm at us for the Ig
norance to which our papers give ex
