 Mrs Harding served, slJJing on suitcase in the aisle and laughing at her troubles.
 Presidential dignity and isolation went by the boards, for MT. Harding himself was one of the most active and cheerful members of the group His car was unligted and avs also over crowded and as the overcoated pas sengers went up and down the aisle the red hot stove took it's unfa1ling toll and kept the enclosure pungent with the smell of scorching cloth.

FRENcH cOURT ErIouErTE

In southern France, TOO years axo. court etiquette and the forms of social intercourse among the nobility were regulated by women. War yielded to love and the cultivation Of the ~gay science" Each troubadour must elect some lady, generally the wife or the daughter of his patron, as the object of his addresses Gallantry, however. must not transcend certain conven- tional limits, under pain of banishment or of dire physical penalties, of which the history of the troubadours fur nishes not a few examples. This sep aratton of passionate devotion from the idea of marriage has not been with out it's effect upon subsequent society and literature The establishment of courts of love seem so fantastic that their very ex- istence has been doubted. They were composed of noble ladies, whose au- thority was regulated by a code of love disobedience to which was pun ished by expulsion. This code is given by Andre le Chapelain in a Latin treat ise written about i1S0. Of it's 31 max inns we quote the following: He who corceals not hs feelings from others can not love. No one can be bound by a double | love.
 | | Love s ever increasing or diminish | ing.
 | She who survives her lover is bound | to a two years widowhood. 1 It is shame to love those to marry whom is shame. Love published rarely endures.
 Easy acceptance repels love; coy- ness encourages love.
 True loves craves not the embrace l of any save it's companion. Every lover is wont to pale in pres ence of his love.
 Full of love iG full of fear.
 To a lover. icve can deny nothing.
 He that is over burdened by luxur, can not love.

rnIs EoR rHE TEA HoUND

Tea Hounds is not a very beautlIui expression, but it fits to cer- tain class of students in university A Tea Hound, in an attempt at oeLihl- ton, is a vigorous young man. Wno haS all sorts of possibilities, but who IS so nice. and so strong with the ladies, that he can't get away from them. The result ts that his studies suffer, and, excepting those of his kind, everyone around him suffers. He is pest, ana about as useful as the barnacles which hang on the bottom of ship.
 Small talk is his strong point and he could fill a book with it. The trouble would be to find a reader. The bub- bles on glass of soda pop have more substance than the subjects which the Tea Hound generally uses as basis for conversation.
 A Tea Hound couldn't be a football player in a thousand years. In the first place, he hasn't the ambition; in the second place, he hasn't the nerve; and in the third place, he might get his hair mussed up. And that would never do.
 Just what the Tea Hound expects to do when he gets out into the world is a puzzle. He is too nice to do any sort of manual labor and he usually hasn't 1 the brains to hold down a real posi-

In our schools boys and girls learn
