One was reminded of the days in Paris
when "Big Berthas'' began to shell the

from morning till night with crowds

The railway porters were quite unable

were few soldiers in military uniform.

proportionate. Everything possible
from cut flowers and newspapers for

for h convalescents is provided, with
even the Casino stripped of its rou-

an officers Red Cross club.
In charge of h Red Cross work i n

accommodations provided is a large
gymnasium for the twelve hundred
unit-men required to care. for the

home-like club for the between two
and three hundred nurses on duty
there. the Casino officers club, the

many memories of co~nvalescent hours.

The season for college affairs is
here. The a~ll-absorbing question to
the college maid is. Am 1 going to
the prom, and what shall I wear?"
The question of a frock for the
junior prom is usually a big one, for
that affair is the zenith of a college
course, SO l have been led to believe
by young girls in a junior class, 1t
is often the one formal dance OF a
fcur-year course at college and some
times it is the only dance to which
me are invited.
To fit the occasion the frock must
be something extraordinarily beauti-
full and gorgeous and at the same
time it must be girlish for if there
is any place hat a sophisticated vam-
pire gown is out of place it is at a
dance presided over by the dignitaries
of an institution of learning.
The frock pictured is one of the
choicest models from a shop which
deals exclusively in misses apparel.
1t is fashioned Of soft satin in a deli
cate shade of pink. The design is
rather colonial with a fichu and front
panel of real silk lace. The skirt is
daintily trimmed with puffings of the
satin. The fan carried with it is
white ostrich feathers. These fans
of huge proportions are the most
popular conceit of the season and
every girl will want to set off her cos
tune.

THE BEAVERS sTARTLE THE PROFESSOR.

When the young Professor awoke
in his tent near Mirror Pond, that
night. he looked at his watch, and
found it was after midnight. And he
said, my. I must get up at once
and watch those Beavers. Fol the
old Trapper told me they worked on
their dam at night"
So the stranger dressed for his
night-work and tramped down the
bank of the Mirror Pond. until he
reached the dam. And when walking
on the wonderful dam, which the
Beavers had built, he said aloud to
himself. 1.-THE old Trapper told me to
remove a little piece Of the dam at
the top of the dam, right in the middle
of it, and hen hide, SO I could see
the Beavers come to mend the dam,
and learn their secrets"
So the young Professor dug q little
trench in the middle Of the dam, to let
some of h water now out over the
top. And the Professor said aloud.
Now I'll have some fun with those
sly Beavers, and I'll climb q tree and
watch them mend their dam, and then
I'll learn all. their secrets. and how
they, work"
! There was a big hemlock tree near
the dam, and soon the cunning Beav-
ers, who were hiding and watching
him all the time, began to smoker.
You ask me why the Beavers. held
their hands over their mouths and
laughed SO hard? Just because 1t
was SC funny to see the long-legged
young Professor climb that hemlock
TREE. The tree wal big and tall, and
there were mo- limbs near the ground.
And the long legs Of the young Pro-
lessor were dangling in the air, and
