Now, Isn't This Just Like a
Woman?
He was puzzled whenever he re
ceived a letter from Madame Bonnet.
It was a year since he had seen her j
and she had been writing two or three ]
letters a month. They all bore 3-centj
stamps, though the envelops were!
femininely small. Why 3-cent stamps
when 2-cent stamps would do?
One day not so long ago Madame}
Bonnett wired she would be in the j
city on the following Saturday. He ;
arranged to meet her for dinner. He
asked about the 3-cent stamps.
"Oh, just a little whim of mine,"
she said lightly. "I've been using
lavender stationery for several
months and I can't bear to think of!
sticking a red stamp on it. There
should be a variety of colors for 2
cent stamps, don't you think?"—New
York Sun.
—Ivey Allen of Trinity College,
Ernest Mitchel of A. & E. College,
Raleigh, Chas. Easton of U .N. C.,
spent the week end at home.
—An elegant three-course six
o'clock dinner was served last Satur
day by Miss Ruth Pitchford. A very
interesting game of rook was played.
Those present were Miss McMicken,
Miss Helen Sails, Mrs. Ann Woodall,
Miss Russell, Miss Kline.

BASKETBALL AND
SCHOLORSMP
The Players Average Three Points
Higher Than All Other Hoys In
Their Classes.
There is a wide spread belief a-}
mong the uniformed that there is too
much time devoted to athletics in our
schools. They are possessed with the
idea that the only way to make a man
out of a boy is to place a grubbing
hoe in his hand or stand him up be
hind a! plow as soon as school lets out
in the afternoon. The Smithfield
Herald says:
"Superintendent Franks has just
made a comparison of the grades of
the members of the basketball team
with the grades of the other boys in
the same classes from which the play-;
ers come. The average grade made]
by the basketball boys for the last'
school month, a month right in the
heart of the basketball season, was
82. The average grade mde by all}
the other boys in 8th A, 9th, 10th,'
and 11th grades was 79. The bas
ketball players averaged three points
higher than all the other^ boys in
their classes.
This information has been worked
out for the benefit of the parents
who feel that the time devoted to
athletics would be better spent on
studies. Of course it is easy for a
boy to become so interested in ath
letics that he wi llneglect^is studies.
The boy who does not pass his work
can not play on the teams. The ideal
which Superintendent Franks is em
phasizing is that in order to develop
the best they have in them the stud
ents must do a lot of hard work and
a lot of hard playing."
