 want to, school or no schoolr,
 And then, too, the meetings of the uihereht societies and fraternitles give the Slfis chance to talk about their love affairs and their escapades. Of course, when 1 went to school we didn.f have fraternities or societies and things like that, but we did have | crushes on the teacher to beat tbe band. We just loved our teachers and would walk up and down the corri dors With them at recess with our arms around them and We considered them our own particular property. and We named every thing under the sun af- ter them and blushed like a June bride when anybody mentioned the name of our adored one," she continued. remember once what a case 1 had on the French teacher" Miss Petunia went on to say. She was the lnvelinst little creature you ever saw and she came from New Orleans and every giff in school adored her But | was worse than all the others put toeeth- CT. I'd take her nice things to cat. buy flowers for her if I couldn't beu or steal them. l made pretty handker- chiefs for her and goodness Knows what else don't think girls care that much Tor their teachers at this writ ing except one I know, who has wor- , shipped her history teacher for years and simply has made her an ideal This | II because that isn't her name. never cared much for history until this teach CT came to the school. Now she sits for hours discussing with her father how Orestes managed to escape from the temple or what the real cause of the French revolution was. All the family at first seemed to be mystified, and as they had hardly a speaking ac- quaintanee with history farther back than the last primary election they had to felnaln as mute as mummies. Finally enc evening somebody inquired the name of the history teacher who had imbued Anne with such a love for it. Flushing violently she told and then confessed upon further. questioning that she was the one that ? prints had been developed of the other day when Anne went to the kodak man with a bag full of them.'
 ''The family became intensely inter- ested in the person." Miss Petunia con tinued, "and finally when her wonder ful charms were recounted and the fact that she was going to take lot of girls to Europe next summer and could Anne go. the cat was out of the bag and they knew her inmost secret for she had vowed she'd never go abroad with a crowd and now how she loved the history teacher so much she was willing to go any old way just to be with her and the family knew she was hard hit.'
 q think somebody ought to go to the History teacher Miss Petunia sug- gested, and tell her about this hero or heroine worship that Anne has for her. Wasn't it some woman-or maybe, a man. who said that we ought to he told all the nice things we know about each other, for the disagreeable ones we arc all sure to hear. Of course with the history teacher there never was or never could be anything disagreeable for she was the very prettiest thing alive Pretty and young and school teacher--what more delightful combin- ation could any one woman ask for? Anne confessed about the history teach- CT allowing her to take her picture one day-a snapshot, and when she was thinking she had everything her own way 1c other girls were waiting 10 do the same thing for they overheard the conversation and that accounted for the F pictures that the kodak man had been asked to develop and that Anne had been leased so outrag- eously about"
 It is terribly exciting to get back to school
 Exciting stories about the new teach CTS the new books and the new sur roundlngs will entertain the family for weeks now
 In fact
 School days are here again-dear, de- lishtful school days. and everybody's happy once more.
