were chasing. She left the others, but soon came
to a standstil. when with my companion | came
up to her and was surprised to find that a little
calf was standing by her side. | felt sorry foi
the poor beast that had so successfully hidden
and protected its offspring and for the obedlent
little calf itself that had so faithfully followed
its mother. After despatching the mother | en
pected that we would have no little trouble ir
capturing the calf, but to our surprise the strick
en- little beast stood still and allowed us to come
right up to It, But when we picked It from the
ground II struggled so violently that we could
hardly hold It. My companion took upon himself
the task of carrying our capture and II was really
amusing to observe how, when Joe least expected
the calf. without warning. would summon all its
strength of limb and tongue In an effort TO free
itself, almost bringing him to the ground.
By the time we had arrived at the ship the sun
was no longer a midnight sun. for II was seven In
the morning. A number of our friends came out
to meet us, one of them relieving Joe of his bur
den, which he gave up with little reluctance.
After having a bite and a cup of coffee, | soon

hunt having lasted more than twelve hours. much
OF which time we were running through deer
snow.
Some hours later | awoke to find that the little
muskox had been christened Melville" after
that vast island which only a few hours ago was
her home. From that time on, Melville" was our
little mascot. She was fed with condensed milk
tout or the shlps ration, 1901, with crackers or
oatmeal. She rejected all the improvised appar'
atus that I contrived to facilitate feeding her,
preferring an ordinary dish as a receptacle for
her food. None of us forgot to reserve for Mel.
VILE any choice morsel that we thought she
might relish.
| remember one day one of the sailors took
from Its cage his pet snowy owl. to allow II some
freedom. He had no sooner laid II on the deck
than a patterlng of tiny hooffs was heard and III.

dering along the deck. With lowered head Mel
VILE stopped to view the vanquished from the
spot where II had been, the bird only being res
cued to evade another onrush. In many such
ways Melville" furnished us with rare amuse.
ment. which was more than welcome to us. But
her bad habit OF going about the deck and eat
ing scraps of canvas. paper. oakum. or almost
anything, was the cause of our losing her. for
one day she discovered some red paint which
must have pleased her taste. as We found her
little nose covered with the same. Three days
later poor little Melville" passed away and tho
extent to which we missed her can hardly be ex-
pressed in words. II was much as though one OF
the ships company had left us. for this was truly
what had happened.

Crusade Against the Waltz

The crusade against the new dancing" is a re-
hinder of the fact that the now well established
waltz was fercely assalled on it's Introduction into
this country.
In 1914, when 1t was slowly coming into fashion.
Miss Milford detained against this "detestable
dance" In addition" she wrote, ito the obvious
reasons which all women ought TO have for dis
liking II | cannot perceive its much Wanted
graces. What beauty can there be In a series OF
dizzying evolutions. Of which the wesrisome mo
notony banishes all the tricksy fan"ies OF the
poetry OF motion. and conveys to the eyes OF the
spectators the idea of a parcel of teetotums set

care of by artists in millinery that
even the slmplest-seeming hats are
really amazingly we'll thought 3ut and
adapted to their wearers.
The lines OF the Dutch bonnet. the
dear Wilhelmina, have been managed
in all sorts of ways. A pretty adapta-
ton is shown here, having a crown
of purple violets and brim covered
with purple velvet. A similar hat, In
soft hemp, shows n decided point at
the front and a small, rather pointed
crown, which would be Insignificant
except for two ears of silk perched at
the front. The shape In navy blue

same color and the loops, or ears.

blue Of a rather bright shade.
A hood OF turcan laid over a cap
shape, covered with black silk, ia also
an unusually clever development of
simple lines and handsome materials.
The rolied-up brim is covered with
two folds OF black satin and a bow OF
ribbon in black satin finishes a band
which apparently holds the point Of
the hood in place at the back.
The liking for quaint s~hirrings.
quillings and ruchlngs came In with
the return of fabrics with which they
were used almost a half century ago.
A shirred band Of changeable taifeta
finishes the soft straw bonnet shape
shown here. Two rosettes OF the taft
feta look like big. full-blown roses;
they are placed at each side Of the
brim. A short broad plume. In the
co~lorlngs of the silk, finishes the hat.
The hats shown in the illustrations

Dainty Carriers.

The curious fancy for mlngling
black with the adornment OF lingerie
and other more personal articles is
finally manifested in a pair OF gar
tiers.
On the shirred black band that
forms the solid part OF the garter are
sprinkled silk roses in pastel shades;
the same flowers ornament the lace
rosettes. from which bangle smaller
roses on ribbon ends. The laoa frill"

of this animal was much vaster than it is at

the Baccaulareate sermon
which was delivered to the
Seniors by Rev. Father Nolan.
The church was beautifully de-

for the graduates end faculty
were prettily decorated in red
and white cheese cloth. A
special musical program was
given, which was very fine.
Father Nolan, gave the stud

and he also stated lis sppre-
citation of the fact, that he had
been chosen unanimously to
deliver the sermon by the
class of 26 members. His ad.
dress rang along the lines of
obedience and self sacrifice and
the students will profit by his
