gowns and white mortar boards with
blue tassels. Honor's face had gained
something more than girlish beauty
There was certain womanly stead
fastness of purpose in the brown eyes
and a rare sweetness and tenderness
about the delicate mouth. The tears
dropped silently into the pink roses
that filed her lap when the principal
rose to make her farewell speech to
her girls. "Oftentimes," she said, 81

to make you gentlewomen, earnest

all about you. In giving you away
from our household 1 do it with my
blessing and my Godspeed, but with
heartache."
The gentle principal spoke a few
words of farewell individually to each
girl. When she came to the last name
she choked for moment. There were
tears in her voice as she said: ''And

womanliness, gentleness and spirit

The regency OF Queen Christina of
Spain may be extended five years upon
the ground that young King Alfonso
should complete his education and
travel before assuming the sovereignty.
But if such step is taken it will show
quite plainly that the young king is
incapable of properly exercising the
functions of monarch, and that to en-
trust him with sovereignty will be to
endanger the dynasty, which is already
in considerable peril from revolution
ary parties

Up to the present time the Boer
war has cost Great Britain 5000 more
lives than did her last struggle
against civilized power-the Cri-
mean war. The latter war was
most discreditable to the British
aims, Notwithstanding a few famous
examples of personal bravery, such
as the charge of the Light brigade at
Balaklava. 1t was marked by much
incompetency upon the part of Brit
ish generals. Gallantry has been dis
played in South Africa, but the con-
test has been one which future gem
erations will be glad to forget.
