UNDER FALSE CoLORS.
The Story of Olive ChadwIelk-s Year at Col.
lege.A
Kate Lawson and Olive Chadwick
were cousins living in adjoining towns.
Their fathers were ordinary farmers
who just about made ''both ends
meet" with not much left over. Con-
sequently when well-to-do distant
relative offered to pay Kate's and
Olives tuition and board through a
well-known women's college, there
was great rejoicing in both families.
Olive made a great inroad in her

self out in the fashionable attire she
deemed indispensable for such place.
familiar suggestive manner of John
Wetherbee, her rich cousin. Without
saying so outright, or really meaning
to do SO, she conveyed by countless lit
tie ways, the impression that her par
ents were well-to-do.
When she discovered that her cousin
Kate had made no such ella borate prep
arations, and that she was trying to
earn her incidental expenses by doing
mending and caring for the rooms, etc.
of her schoolma tes, she expressed her
displeasure and shame. Kate then
ceased to be intimate with her and
never told of their relationship.
One vacation May Ellis, wealthy
bankers daughter, invited Olive to
spend week at her beautiful home.
Olive thought she must have elegant
dresses for such an occasion, and more
of her fathers hard-earned money was
spent. Olive never invited May to visit
her. ''After her elegant home, our
house would seem like shanty," she
thought, bitterly.
Olive soon learned, with much sur
prise, that Kate, also, was visiting
May. But her surprise knew no bounds
when she learned, shortly afterwards.
that Kate had actually invited May to
her plain country home.
Il had such a delightful time" said
May afterward. sMr. and Mrs. Law
son and Kate were not the least bit
formal, but took me right in their fam
lily, and let me help them when wished.
Then l romped in the fields and went
berrying with the children. l never
enjoyed myself more.''
When graduation drew near Kate be-
gan to look about for a situation to
teach. Her teachers knew of her wish
and helped her. Olive would have liked
to do the same, but felt too much
ashamed, after having allowed her
mates and teachers to think she did not
need to earn her living.
The school days closed at last, and
the two girls were going home together.
80 Kate cried Olive, Il am so unhap-
py. Father is in debt through my ex-
travagance. l have no situation as you
have, Carl must wait another year be-
fore entering the agricultural college,
and if the others knew how l have pre-
tended to be what l am not they would
despise me. No wonder you are so
happy. with no bitter, regretfuI mem

Game for Girls.
A favorite game with our girls is
''How many miles to Babylon" A
wide, smooth piece of road is chosen,
and goals marked out on both sides of
the road. Then bounds are made up
and down the road, and no player must
go beyond the bounds. One of the girls
is chosen to be the ''watchman," who
takes her place in the middle Of the
bounds, between the goals, while all
the players are assembled in one of the
goals. Then one of the players calls
out: How many miles to Babylon?" to
which the watchman replies: ''Three.
score and ten" The player then asks
"Can we get there by candle
light?" to which the watchman
can answer two ways as she
pleases. If she says 'sYes
if your legs are timber and light" they
must run from one goal to the other
If she can catch any of them as they
run by, they must help her catch the
rest. If in reply to their question she
should say: ''Yes and back again." then
they must run to the opposite goal and
touch it, and then run back to tho
starting place again. Every one she
catches must help her until all are
caught. Then the game must start
again, with the first one caught for the
'.watchman" The smaller the girls
the less must be the distance between
goals, and the smaller the bounds.
