| A"4 = 41SSASAs -
1t is June LIST, and June was the
month which the Romans considered
the most propitious season Of the
year for contracting matrimonial en-.
gagements. Indeed, Barre should
by this time be well coached for her
part in promoting all love affairs.
Has not a fortune teller and reader of
dark and dreadful mysteries been
lately among us? Has not the BASH
full swain turned to tell tale scarlet as
the artful enchantress prOgnosticated
a future filed with love and honey
moon?
After all, it is strange how many
people, big and little young and old,
too, for that matter hesitated with
out the enchantress' door, just looked
around hastily to see if anyone special
was really looking-and then slid into
the labyrinth. Some paid more, and
some paid less, but all seemed to be
fairly we'll satisfied: and while they
do not, Of course. have any belief in
it at all, yet they are mighty pleased
they plucked up courage to 60 in and
| learn tue IaCUS Vi U1e Case.
At any rate, by all these tokens,
June in Barre should be prolific in en-.
gagements. "And all the world loves
lover.''
OF course, we should always recall
those lines Of the poet, "What is so
rare as a day in June" whenever June
puts in an app. arance. 1t has been
the one line of all beautiful lines which
one clumsy jester has marked for spec.
ial ridicule and rude lampoons. OF
course an American often uses the
word 'rare" to mean "raw," and
thus has visions Of beetsteak and
onions as prelude to June, but as no
June would be quite properly intro.
duced without the poets lines, it
would be we'll for Young America
who lacks all reverence either of
things sacred or secular, to take down
volume of the poets lines, seek some
shady nook and learn Of the idealistic
somewhat Of the rithem Of life.
From poetry to soda water may pos
sibly seem far cry. But Prof. Toi-
settle, the famous "memory system
man would not think SO. You see that
his system depended upon the relation
of one subject to another, and the Sc.
quence Of thought which must logical
ly take place before, for instance,
ones mind could possibly pendulate
from the heights of Mt. Olympus-to
soda water. Afeir all, it is very SIM
pie. Don't you sec, poetry, poets,
inspiration, Mt. Olympus, - the
gods, the Nectar OF the gods, NEG
tar. Yes, that's it-NecJar. There
you are. There you see right
in front of you the fountain
where bubbles up the cool supply
where nectar, chs colote vtnilla and
moxie (think of moxie and the Gods)

we are then, thank Goodness safe and
