1T IS THE PHHSlCI
I can't help wondering, little book,
at the peculiar antics Of fate in keep
ing Dick and Malcolm Stuart apart.
/ think, however, both men nave
helped the matter along. l don t be-
lieve either wishes to meet the other.
Dick has no idea of the extent OF
MaIcolm's and my friendship, While
l was i'll l kept MalcOm's letters
from everybody simply because l
wanted to have a little slice OF lie
for my own delectatiOn.
MalcOlm's letters gave me some
thing to think about and l was ike
a child who was afraid if she told
some of her fanciful ideas to others
they would be Tudely shattered and
she would be told there was no such
thing as fairies.
When Malcolm Stuart returned
and in my heart I knew he had sent
DR.. VirOt to me, l could not tell any
body about our intimate understand
ing. One thing has been proven to
me by it, however, and that is there
is such a thing as platOnic friendship
"a very beautiful sympathetic re-
latiOnship in which there is not a
hint of sexual attraction.
I am quite sure, little book, that |
embOdy for Malcolm Stuart some OF
the family ties and family relations
he has missed-a relation cemented
by similar longing to get to the
root of things-tO probe to the very
bottom of that UndercuTrent OF

no matter how high you set your

and they would think they had COM
mitted an objectionable sin against

 Boys gardens.
 Altogether during the past season,
 in various garden patches, the boys of the school raised 175 bushels of po- tatoes and these have been disposed of in the wholesale market at an av- craze of s1.50 a bushel. The sum real . ized will just about allow the boys to break even with their expense ac- count, for they were obliged 10 speru much money for seed, fertilizer and for other things in starting out with their gardening.
 They have, however, added to the food supply and this was the chief ob- ject in view last spring. Blight in
 potatoe fields planted by the boys greatly reduced their production otherwise they would have been able to show a good profit on their ven- ture.
 Principal Handy is well pleased with the splendid spirit and good will shown by the boys in their garden work.
