Good morning, little girl" said a
pleasant, chuckly kind Of voice, as
Dolly came into the garden. Il am
always glad to see little girls take an
interest in the garden. 1t is sign
that they will be good housekeepers
when they grow up and have gardens
of their own"
Dolly was looking for lovely.
sweet faced, winged fairy like the one
she had seen yesterday. She looked
up and she looked down. She lifted
enc or two leaves and peeped under
them to see if the owner Of the voice
was hidden anywhere. She couldn't
see anything but what looked like a
little red ball lying on the ground.
The voice seemed to come from that
place though, and SO she looked
closer.
That's right. Come down here and
l will show you something said the
same pleasant voice.
When Dolly put her face down al
most to the ground she saw that
what she had taken for a little red
ball was a face. 1t was the reddest
face she had ever seen-much red
der than the radish whom she still
remembered. 1t belonged to a lit
tie, rather oldlooking lady. She was
fat and round and she had on q
green honnet that came down around
her face. It could not hide, II
though. Her eyes were very brigh,
and she was smiling all over hel
face.
"Are you surprised because l an

asked. Dolly blushed. She hat
been thinking just that thing. I
seemed as though the fairy read he
mind. She was afraid 1t was not ;

things.

TERMS NOT GIVEN OUT
Up to 3 O'Clock Yesterday German Authorities Had Learned Nothing of Versailles Meeting.

Weimar, June 16, D. m. tBy the Associated Press) Germany was still in ignorance of the revised peace terms today. the authorities declaring they were yet utterly in the dark. They had not been a ble to form any judgment as to how the final terms would shape up by their per usal of the Entente press. which one day would contain reports favorable to Germany and the next day have the opposite trend.
 The correspondent has learned on good authority, however that the most important point as regards the treaty in German opinion is that of q plebsCite in the east not only for upper SileSia but for the entire eastern section covered by the origin al terms and that a free vote of the German population in East and West Prussia, POsen and Silesia would strongly incline Germany to sign the treaty.

Ne" Haven. June 17.--To the greatest gathering of alumni in a commencement week at Yale univer- slty, President Arthur T. TIadlev said today We welcome you to a Yale 'Whlch Is at once new and old; d Yale changlng rapidly in externals. but es- senually unchanged at heart The new ale is not going to lose it's old Yale spirit. The changes in the course Of study do not mean an abandon ment of the things for which Yale stood in the past-they mean doing Fhem better and doing them on n larger scale than ever before"
 President Hadley told tho alumni of the new faces in the faculty, the deaths of four professors. onc---Irving in the trenches of Flanders, of the physical changes at the university and the remOdclling Of the curriculum Older graduates, he went on to say, had complained bitterly about the Abandonment of the classics at the demand of idle rich. He said that the demand did not come from that quarter. The people who want to study other things than Latin are largely boys from the public schools of the West. Shut out the West ern boys," he said and Yale ceases to be natfonal.' Tho president did not believe cutting off Latin and Greek in entrance examinations will lower intellectual standards, nor the university lose in idealism. He said 1t Twas the fault of the old fashioned college course that it made but slight appeal to the practical man. The new course makes a wider appeal. If there is one lesson that we learned by the war" said President Hadley. Tit is that the work of the specialist than the intelligence and the ideals or it's citizens as a hody.'
