R,ru Mawr on Tuesday! You know
i. u Worth house caught fire, just as tne
" w, from Baldwin's school,. which IS
s sn.osts tbe house, were going nome,
VpiVJt, Wy .hsy together with a number OF the
wv a.,,rD ,r's sriris formed into bucket brig
.y's VI. and handed the water up to those
~, s we're trying to put out the nre,
'.tl nui tbe engines arrived. 1t really was
wu,udsrful un," 'rt The work they did, though 1t
v,s s 50 sad that the little baby OF the
1retaker in the house was sunocated
hiore it could be rescued:
ifter the firemen got there the college
ID school girls carried the furniture
and and class, which they handed out to the
cS,vstie r house next door. The Worths,
ym VIII know, we're not living in the house,
but had moved into town.
ISN'T it funny how they all "get it,
/ regularly? You grow up to mans or
vomSn's estate and forget it, and yet
,s each one comes along and reaches
me subdeb age each one gets so inter
ssted in what others think about him
ar her that Immediately they start
PLAYING the Personality" game.
You know you write down character :
istcs and attributes and qualities Of
various kinds both good and bad. and
then you give per cent which repre-
sents Just what degree of perfection or
inperfection you think the person you
re Haying alive has. You know that
lawfully young" personality stuff.
Well the other day, didn't | get into
d train and there, just a few seats
ahead, were four subdebs. And my
dsars. they had their little papers and
pencils out and they were putting down
the per cent they allowed for various
qualities in several boys.
Now, strangs though it may seem,
they we're discussing said boys at the
top of their lungs and when they
announced loudly George -"
I"What would you give him for man
netsi' One answered solemnly
Mine"
After they had finished George they
switched to Robert and they said
what would you give him for man
ners? Then one girl spoke up and
said When he comes to our house he
hasn't any manners at all"
Now, | ask you. could anything
have bene more beautiful? I wonder
just what the boys would give in the
various per cents if they were hauling
the girls over the Goals in said ruthless
manner.
must say when we used to play
mat game in the dark ages, some sew
snty years ago, we did it before the VIC
tim, not behind his or her back.
and little Nancy just thought to
herself, "Well, if ever George and
Robert knew what those girls think of
nem they'd enjoy themselves thor
