"The hierog1yphical writing re-
veals itself in monuments of the first
dynasties. They T vast and wonder
fulreplicas of an age when g~reatminds
CROPPED dimly in the sciences hat

"Pinkie Shields is gOing to wear the
gold star medal she took in astrono-
my. Did 20 ever hear of such osten-
tation?"
"What can you expect of a girl
who wears made-up neckties?"
Il always suspected that she did
but you know she denied it and said
she tied them herself. How did you
find Out?"
1.-The chambermaid showed me
some Pinkie had given her when they
were soiled. They were all sewed
in place."
"Well Well What do you think
of this, dear? And now, dear teach
ers, you to whom we owe the deep
est debt of gratitude for your I'M
swerving devotion to interests,
your patience with our many fail
ings, your intellectual guidance and
support, to you we must say fare
we'll, farewell"
Are you going to say farewell
twice."
Yes, l think it makes it strong.
Besides l intend to draw out the last
farewell in a sort of a sob. Don't
you think that's a good idea?"
Capital! Go on"
IF, as we stand today with our re
luctant feet upon the ~diverging line
between the world and the alma ma
ter we can boast of any intelligence,
any pre-eminence in our studies, it is
to you that we must be grateful. Ac-
cept, then, heartfelt thanks for
your weary weeks of labor in our
interests and believe that we shall
always cherish your memory in our
hearts even though the waves of
Hfe's ocean roll upon the shores of
time and carry us out upon the vast
sea of life's university
"Y-y-y-es. Can't you work in a
quotation there"
How would Break, break, break,
go there?"
Fine! And then wind up with a
general good-by.'

old thing done! Are you nearly
through, dear"
Not half. l have to skip around
so for facts But here l found a
whole page that I can slip in after
The Psychologist Observes It's d

We're you"

a page to our high-minded ambitions
and our lofty aims and ideals before

"Oh, that's easy. You cant have
too much of that in it. Speak Of the
star of promise shining always upon
our pathway leading us to higher,
truer lives. l know l heard that in
some place in a lpay, [ think, but

"Oh, you are such Il dear to help

I've Just reached : Professor Mas
pero, the director-general of the ex-
cavations and antiquities of Egypt,
in his official refOrt of the uncover
ing of the mummies writes as fol
lows of the appearance Of Rameses
The face of the mummy gives a
fair idea of the living king" Then
follow two pages that he wrote. It
would only bore you if 1 read it. 1t
bores me to death"
4 wonder why they ever choose
such awful %subjects?"
ITO impress our parents and
relatives, [ suppose. But I shouldn't
complain. Madeline Fortune has to
