Page was a man evidently accustomed to disappointment, for he smiled pleasantly enough at the answer. "You drink from the cup of joy with enthusiasm, Miss Illis," he remarked playfully, not at all inclined to hasten his departure. “Yes,” she laughed softly, “and the wine is very sweet.” Her face sobered for a moment, as if speaking out of involuntary sympathy, but it cleared before she spoke. “Just because you are older and have had your share of the wine, don't expect me to put down the cup just yet.” Despite the fact that it was said cheerfully, Mr. Page turned slowly, as if dismissing him. ".
She moved along the seat to make room for him. "I'm almost done," she announced, tasting her ice cream with delicious satisfaction. To be sober and dignified is as much a terror to me as gray hair or wrinkles on the forehead." A bold look lighted his handsome young face as he beckoned her to look. u To." he said quietly, pointing to a tall blond girl who was chatting animatedly with her partner at the entrance to the ballroom, ''she's the girl my father would like me to marry.''

"Inducting you into society, and I feel it my duty to see that you make no mistakes. Never mind," was the reply with a wise nod. "We never know what the first principle is until we have to choose, and then we are more likely to choose wisely."
The woman shook her bead seriously. "He's grown pale and gaunt in the few weeks since your return. I'll introduce him to the governor tomorrow after the game, and see if we can't fix that." Then he went back to his seat by the window and Mon was forgotten for the time being.

Christmas This year the students are exceptionally happy in the contemplation of a long holiday, and are grateful to the Faculty for the gift of nineteen days instead of the usual fourteen.
It means the sweet filling that divides our cake in the middle and makes the layers taste less monotonous. May these glorious holidays bring a wonderful rest to the college, from which both teachers and students will return with renewed enthusiasm to close the school year. In New York City, it's said that not having anyone is becoming a standard joke.
It is characteristic of the American that he does not frown or grumble in his financial problems. He is a brave man who can appreciate a joke being played on him, and although fate – or is it the U. sneak out and abandon the leader just because he can.

Thompson (after reading about Villiam the Silent) - "It's very funny to think that a man can become great by keeping his mouth shut." It must be that because of the flour that each sophomore tenderly carried in his hands during the Flag Rush, they expected to bury the freshman. A certain young lady on South Mam Street recently stated that she didn't believe men proposed anymore these days.
The campus is pleased to announce that Miss Luella Hood was the winner of the football story contest for the November issue of THE MONTHLY. The Sophers obviously had intentions of cutting up at Flag Rush as they brought that pole with the knife attached to one end. Prof Kenyon on the day of the men's communion parade.- “I am too busy to hear the rest of my classes.

As the family members gathered around the bed, the old black mother took the boy's mother in her arms.

The air was still warm, but the night breeze removed the oppression of the day. It was just after dinner and we five men had moved out to the verandah of the bungalow to smoke. A gharial grunted galloped from the opposite bank of the wide river and upstream some large animal, probably a tapir, splashed noisily in the water.
In the momentary silence that followed, the dull minor chords of the guitar and the soft, plaintive notes of the song perfectly matched the. I have read many poems about the sweet scent of new-hewn bay; the hum of the bee sounded pleasant when depicted in glowing colors by some artistic writer; I enjoyed an hour's rest on the grassy bank of some babbling brook. The place looked beautiful in the distance; the green bank seemed to invite me to come and use its green grass for a pillow.
For about fifteen minutes I was so busy getting rid of the ants that remained in my clothes that I did not notice the harmonious sounds that came from the chorus of insects. My feet kept time compared to the buzzing of bees; my religion was left to the gnats, my inactivity left me to the rail fence; and.

This is the best friend here and its beauty is not only on the outside. Let's say some of us put our artists to work and see if we can't come close to the standard they set. Another one we enjoy and look forward to reading each month is The Wesleyan Lit.
