Rebirth I thought my memory of you was dead As beneath the snow seemed the barren land, But with the first breath of warm spring's wind I am crying again for the touch of your hand. I thought my memory of you was dead, But the months of forgetting have been in vain; For a breeze blew through a flowering tree And your fragrant presence is with me again. I thought. my memory of you was dead, But one spring day, of calm blue skies Reflected in a limpid pool With tears, I saw again your eyes. Luelle R. Strickland.

The Sleep of the Unjust One dull dreary afternoon as I was sitting before a large open fire I suddenly noticed coming out of the flames a funny little old man dressed in a red frock coat. He walked boldly up to me, and taking off his hat with a low bow informed me that he was Psychology. At first he seemed very pleasant, but presently he assumed an injured air and said that he didn't think that I cared much for his society; I seldom took him with me or consulted him. With this he turned around and walked away. Before I had time to think about what had happened, another little man came in the same way, wearing a blue coat. He politely told me that he was Rhetoric and asked me why I hadn't brought that last theme up on time. This frightened me very much, and before I could think up an excuse to offer another little man had taken his place. This one was much older than, either of the other two, and before he had time to tell me who he was I recognized him as Chaucer. He began to talk and all I could do was to motion to him that I could not understand at all. Then seeing that I couldn't, he began to use modern English, and asked me why I had not learned his language when my patient teacher had tried so hard to make me. In my embarrassment I shrank back in my chair and my arm inadvertently upset another little man in a brown suit whom I had not noticed before perched on the arm of my chair, who fell to the floor with a startling crash and spilled my math. papers all around. CELESTE RANDOLPH.

Yahu -Ste]BOUT one hundred years ago the Hudson Bay Company had a thriving trade in the upper } Peninsula of Michigan among the trappers, l early settlers, and Indians of that section. One of the Hudson Bay Company's many trading posts was situated on the shore of beautiful Keweenow Bay on Lake Superior. The life of the men of these places was full of experiences, and so it was, that when men in the other parts of the country desired a return to primitive life and its dangers and experiences, some of the more adventurous in spirit came north of the Straits of Mackinac, and consequently, a few to northern Michigan and Wisconsin. Among these were a few who came not alone for pleasure, but in hope of discovering by chance perhaps, the location of some valuable metals, which it was said were buried in these hills, and of which the Indians had knowledge. They were bargain hunters in this new country. Though it was not evident to an onlooker from their dress, the two white men who sat smoking in front of Keweenow Post, one sunny afternoon in spring of 1809 were of the latter type. They were prospectors. As they sat conversing they saw an Indian with a pack upon his back approaching from the edge of the clearing. Arriving at the door the Indian slipped the thongs that bound the pack to his shoulders, and stood straight, relieved of his burden. He was no mean figure to behold, standing over six feet in his moccasins. He made a picturesque figure. There was something of the

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

noble in his face and the carriage of his head and body. His eyes, deep set, seemed all observing. His chin was held high, and in his dark face with its high cheek bones there was both pride and reserve. Giving the strangers only a casual glance, Chief Yahu, of the Chippewa tribe, strode by them into the trading post. Within the post was John Joe, the trader. He was rough looking. His knowledge encompassed a large part of the book of human nature, French patois, Indian lingo of the region, and some English. He had also a small smattering of Latin he had obtained from a priest at the mission. The Latin, however, he reserved for special occasions. For silencing the other party in a losing argument, it was a rare expedient. They seldom answered back. John Joe motioned to Yahu to follow him to a room, back of the shop. Yahu followed, showing no surprise atthis unusual proceeding. "Yahu," John Joe said, pulling out some pieces of metal from his pocket, "you remember how I offered you much provision and calico to tell me where you find these; but you not tell." Yahn grunted to show that he remembered. "But Yahu there are men here who give you much more than I offered you. They supply your tribes for three, four winters : Good? "No," said Yahu, "I do not want provision, my men hunt, fish, they happy; they eat all time, they drink firewater, they not happy," and Yahu's eyes gleamed as he thought of the harm the firewater had done his people. Had they not traded much land and many skins? "The secret of this mine I take it," said John Joe, "is held by the chiefs of your tribe only." He saw by the slight movement of Yahu\io speak that his surmise was correct. John Joe continued, 'Yahu, you not want provisions now, but these people would give you paper and they dig the copper, and your people when they are in need of it present the paper, and they are given part of the copper dug and part possession in the

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

mine. In a few years some one may discover your mine, and you perhaps lose it. This way you keep it under the white mans law. Your people have already lost land. When they are in want sometime they bring the paper, and by this paper you and your descendants are entitled to part of mine. What do you think of it?" "I come back in week,' said Yahu noncommittally, and left. A week later Mr. Edwards and his friend together with John Joe an Yahu made a trip to the nearest settlement, Yahu having learned from Pere Troncesque how white men made promises on paper insisted on having law man put red wax on the paper and having the priest at the settlement read it to him. Then Yahu, very solemnly placed a little mark at the bottom of the paper and the white man did the same. 'This formality with the Indian out of the way, there were other difficulties to be considered. If this ore came up to their expectations, there was the opening of this new country, the transporting of the· metal. There would be much to be done before this could be accomplished. So we leave Mr. Edwards planning for the future. In 1900 James Edwards, grandson of the noted George Edwards, one of the first settlers of the mining region of the Northwest, was aiding the lawyer in the settlement of his fathers estate. He found in a small drawer a yellow paper, colored by age. This paper stated that one-half the products and possessions of the· great mine he now owned belong to Indian Yahu and his descendants. Mr. Edwards took the paper to the lawyer, who said, upon reading it, "Oh Yes, your father spoke of that matter to me one time. He said Your grandfather obtained the mine through some transaction with an Indian. It was merely to obtain possession of the mine, and locate it. But the Indian never showed up, However, his claim or that of his children is outlawed long before this. N, danger from that quarter," and he dismissed the matter. Meanwhile on the government reservation attending the

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

mission school faithfully was a little solemn faced, blackeyed boy. Always in his memory were the words of his father. He had said, "Remember that you are the son of a chief, that your grandfather was a chief also. Touch not the white man's drink. When our people are in need take this paper to the owner of the M. and R. mine," and he told him the story of how his grandfather had obtained it. "Learn well the books at the mission," he had said, "for so can you best help our people," and so little Yahu or Jim Gray as they called him in English, attended the school, though many times he wished to be roaming the fields or fishing and hunting. Finally there came a winter colder than any which Yahu, now seventeen, could remember. His people were in need. The village people did not seem to want workmen, the forests were off their lands and the fields were covered with snow. Game was scarce now, and there were laws so that people could not shoot it always. Yahu thought of the paper his father had left him. Why should they be in want when here there was plenty. The M. and R. mine was forty miles distant. Yahu left writing for his people, saying that he would bring them back money when he came. So Yahu, in his black Sunday mission suit, shiny from age, started to walk the track to the town. He wished to keep what little money he had to aid him in the city. The secretary of Mr. James Edwards, owner of the great M. and R. mine repeated in vain that his employer could not be seen. Yehu was willing to wait if need be, three days and more. Finally, in dispair, the man repeated Yahu's words to Mr. Edwards, who consented to see him. In spite of the cheap ready-to-wear garment which he wore, there was pride and an expression of reserve power in the face of the young Indian which impressed Mr. Edwards in spite of himself. "I have come for the money of my grandfather," said Yahu. He had no doubt but that this man would know all about the transaction of their grandfathers, it had been so impressed upon himself. Yahu held the paper firmly in

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

his hand. "What do you mean ?" said Mr. Edwards, and Yahu could not speak for a moment, so surprised was he at the white man's ignorance, and he told min or the bargain made by their grandfathers, and showed him the paper. Then Mr. Edwards read the paper, and remembered the one like it he had found in the desk of his father. He knew it to be of little account unless regarded as a matter of honor, and he did not regard it in that light. The claim was long outlawed and was as nothing against the owner of the M. and R. mine. Besides the fortune this man presented himself for was long ago spent and gambled in the stock market. He had only sufficient money for his own needs. He laughed and said, "Take this to some lawyer man if you wish, I do not remember it, know nothing of it. The mine belongs to me. If you do not believe it take the paper to a lawyer here in the city." The boy stood motionless, but in his eyes there was the gleam of the savage nature not yet subdued by white men's customs. He knew in his heart that he could not get it. He later verified his intuition by consulting a lawyer. There arose in his heart a wish for revenge, the revenge of the white man. He had read of how it hurt a white man to yin from him his maonoy. is woia be revenged. van had read in books and the teacher had told him that education made success. He would get the education. He could not return to his people without having succeeded. So Yahu obtained positions in the city waiting on table, anything and everything, attending the mining college, He learned about the ore, how it come to be in the ground, how to mine it, and how to find it. He found that he had knowledge of places where there was mineral. Apparently impassive, he studied on. His first position as mining engineer came. He used his money to buy the mineral rights on lands he knew of. Finally, Yahu, now a well tailored man of athletic sin•wy Agre ana angina ark pasenuda il kpaaian»

of iron for examination to some well known financiers. They were approved, and a company was formed for mining the ores, in which Yahu had a controlling interest, and of which he was manager. The Grey Hawk mine became a realty. There came days when mining men were short of labor ; men came from the M. and R. mine to the Grey Hawk, offered always a higher price for their services. The M. and R., unable to keep their help and in debt now, closed down, and Mr. Edwards having plunged deeply in stocks was unable to open it up. He was greatly in debt and people in this time of panic were unable to advance him money. The owner of the Grey Hawk saw the business failure of the man he hated. The satisfaction, however, was not what Yahu had thought it would be Education had brought to him a broader viewpoint, and close to the heart of nature as he now was, Yahu's spirit could not for long remain in harmony with her mountains and streams, and the lakes he loved so well, and still remember without an effort the wrong done him ten years ago. The very youth of him forbade unpleasant memories. It was through Mr. Edwards, however indirectly, that he had found the work he was fitted for among his mountains and hills. He could not but realize how the loss of his grandfather's fortune had made him more capable of aiding a down-trodden people, had kept him from an idle, aimless life without ambition, and had finally done more toward helping him and his people to the comprehension of the real values of life than any quantity of money placed in ignorant hands could ever do. Sitting high on the hill top, and watching the great loads of red ore come from the ground far below him, Yahu's previous vague longings for helping his people there developed into practical ideas and plans for their advancement ETHEL CULVER.

Memorabilia -· --- ----

OR VERY ennuie I find myself recalling rather longingly the activities of my former life. When I rolled across the floor and into the crack under 1 the base-board I gave a sigh of relief, for I felt sure that I should never be found, but could pass the rest of my days in peace and leisure. But now the old life calls me, and I should really feel a new exhileration if once more I were forced to do the hard labor that has constituted my life up to the time of my accidental retirement. My first real consciousness of existence came then I was first sharpened. The operation was performed by a man, who did it slowly, and when he had my point smooth and long he tried it by writing on the back of an old envelope, merely a name, and again the same name and yet again. I was curious, but too inexperienced at that time to understand the significance. Then he tore the envelope into tiny bits and put them into the waste-paper basket. That same afternoon he snatched me up hastily and wrote a little note: "Confound it, old man, I forgot entirely that I had engaged to play auction with that Briggs woman tonight. Call it Thursday, can't we? Awfully sorry, N." That evening I lay on a beautifully polished table and enjoyed the reflection of my fine deep red color in the rather wearisome waits in the uninteresting task of making a few figures on a pad. All night I lay on the table and in the morning a young girl passing through the room picked me up and stuck me into a hook. She took me to school, and arriving early, sat

down in the hall and wrote very vigorously between the lines of the print in her book words which another girl told her. I thought this process almost as uninteresting as keeping score, but presently my interest was piqued by having to write on a scrap of paper: "You look just precious in that white dress. I wish you would wear it all the time, sweetie. Why didn't you answer my last note?" J changed hands many times that day, and wrote many notes and some other things. I informed the teacher of history that "Abelard and Aristotle were the two great philosophers of the Middle Ages," and the Latin teacher that "in matrimonium ducere'' meant "to lead into slavery." "Can't we make it 11 o'clock?" I wrote at evening rollcall, "I think we would be safer because then Miss-will have gone to bed. Bring along some hat pins." The assembly hall was darkened and I was expecting my hard-earned night's rest, for I had had my point broken twice during the day, and one person had chewed my end when trying to write a theme. After while, however, the lights were turned on and I heard them singing around me. Presently a hand reached into the desk where I lay and pulled me out. I jotted down hastily, "I am listening to your talk and I know that you mean me. I do not see how I can forgive her, but with the light of your example before me I will try, I honestly will. You would despise me if you knew how hard it was; did you ever hate anyone? Of course not. Help me." Each day I grew shorter and my surface became more rough from ill-usage. Once a dark hand picked me up and wrote, "Miss Ellen telephoned your young man and told him they was on and he'd better not show hisself Sunday evening." I lay on the telephone table and wrote numbers for some time, but was finally picked up by a long slender hand and carried away. My next task was not an interesting one at first, mainly drawing long heavy lines on papers full

"Inexcusable carelessness." Later in the day:

"If You will forgive pencil," (if people only knew how this Phrase hurt the feelings of their poor pencils!) 'I am going to take advantage of faculty meeting to scribble you a few words so as to get it off before the last mail collection. They are discussing girls I do not know.

A Fairy Tale

of fairies. They were bright, beautiful, and gay. In the daytime they scampered about Ill the meadow, visiting the flowers, playing with the wind, and joining in his merry whistle, and at night they slept in the grass. Their only fear was of King Zarafus, a wicked king • Who lived and ruled in the neighboring forest.. The fairies often longed to go into the woods and play, for they could peep through the trees and see how richly it was carpeted in soft, green moss, but they could not go in for fear of Zarafus. He did not like fairies, and it was said that if he once found a fairy and snatched her away from her people she could never return. The Prettiest, daintiest and sweetest of these fairies was Violet. She scattered happiness. wherever she went, and was most loved by all the other little fairies. One day Violet was dancing along the border of the big woods, singing a happy little song. Suddenly she stopped at the sound of a deep, harsh voice : "Come, you troublesome little sprite. Come to my forest. You are mine." He took her home with him and for many days she stayed within the dark, black stump he gave her for her room and wept. But her happy nature would not allow her to be despondent long, and when she found out that the old king was not going to hurt her, but only keep her, she came

out and played about in the woods. She found woods delightful, although the sun was not as bright there as she was used to, and she loved it, but Oh, how she missed her companions. and how happy they would have been if they had been in the woods with her! At first Zarafus was gruff and cross when she spoke· to him, but later he seemed to catch a little of her gay spirit as she flitted about him singing and gathering flowers, and his heart softened towards her and he was kinder. One day he was hurt in a battle with another king, and was carried home and not expected to live. Violet's heart went out to him in sympathy, and, although she knew that he had wronged her, she did not hold any resentment. She waited on him tenderly. She used all her fairy powers to restore him to life. One day when he was getting well, Violet looked up and found him looking at her with a strange and solemn expression, and she said : "Why, King Zarafus, are you so grave and serious? Do you not know that you are much better and that you will soon be well and strong again? See, the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing." "Yes, Violet," he answered, "All this is true, and I am thankful for it. It is you who have made me well and brought back my strength. And I have been thinking about you even before I was hurt. I have robbed you of your home and your happy companions. I have been very wicked, but you have done much for me. I want to release you and turn my territory over to the fairies. They are free to play in my forest." So from that time the faries have inhabited the woods. They live in little flower houses in the roots of the big oak trees. With their wands they turn the leaves and grass to beautiful shades of green, red and yellow; they sing and whistle through the trees with the wind. And now the sunlight has followed them and the sunbeams dance all day in

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

and out among the trees and have turned the woods from a dark thicket with a few flowers to peep through the damp moss, to a beautiful garden of flowers and sunshine. LENICE INGRAM.

I want to live to be noble, to be generous, kind and true, To boost my weaker brothers and to help to pull them through, To be just and ever temperate, to give honor all its due, To stick to a friend in trouble, a friend where friends are few; To help the whole of mankind, to make this old world new; By being gay and cheerful when most folks would be blue; In fact, its my big ambition, and I think it's a fair one too, To be just a fine American man, because, dear, I love you.

A Parable (Editor's Note-There was a prize offered for a story for the Annual on a given plot. The plot happened to appeal to the imagination of the writer and the following was produced. The Annual did not have an opporeunity to reject it -we got it first.) EHOLD a woman was walking along the shore, a narrow rough seashore with a dark and turbulent sea threatening upon it. She walked slowly, for she carried a heavy burden, and hby each hand she led a little child and each of them, too, carried a burden 'beyond its little strength. She walked as one half asleep or dazed, and looked at the ground before her, and yet seemed not to see the pitfalls that continually beset her feet and those of the little ones, except to feel a dull horror of it all. And all the while there were holes and runs where the :sea came very close and threw its spray on one of the children, so that the salt settled whitely on him and he shivered and was afraid, but made no sound. There was filth strewn over the seashore, and tangled seaweed, and hateful unclean creatures, and stones on which she bruised her feet. Above was a safer road, out of the reach of the treacherous waves, and less infested with slime and hateful, things, hut long ago she had given up trying to make her way up there, for every time she had tried to climb the bank some hand had pushed her back from above and things had clung to her and weighted her

down from below. So now she walked dull and hopeless with the pale, bowed little children. Suddenly she saw a box upon the shore before her, a small unobtrusive object, but it seemed to stir in her a kind of anger and with her foot she thrust it off the shore into the sea. The wa v seemed to grow worse and worse, and often she stumbled, and one of the children began to cry. Again she saw the box tossed up before her, and with a little spark of interest paused to look at it. But quickly a hand seized it before her eyes and cast it far out to sea, as though rescuing her from a great danger. She could not see clearly the one who had delivered her, nor could she understand, for the box had looked as though it might contain something of worth. So she walked on, wondering a little. Under his heavy burden one of the children began to droop, and once to extricate herself from a tangle of weeds, she had to lean on him a little, and let go his hand, and then he slipped into a little run of the sea and the sullen tow carried him away, and in vain the mother called to him and the other child wailed. A little later as they resumed their way, the burden on each a little heavier than it had been, and the tangled weeds catching ever more viciously at the feet of the little girl, they saw the box again. This time the woman stopped with a greater interest to see it, but horrid creatures grasped it, and though she tried she could not lay her hand on it before they had tumbled it back into the sea. Then through the sullen despair of the woman's face showed a little more undestanding, a little more bitterness, but a little more purpose. For now she knew that she wanted the box. As she walked she looked and looked again for she felt that it must reappear, and so it dta, yi}' "Ha noises the filthy creatures of the mud leapt for it, but now the· dullness of apathetic despair had left the woman and she sprang for the box and seized it and struggled long and hard.

times hands seemed to help her, but the creatures of the mud were strong and they tried to harm her child and divert her from the struggle, but now the woman knew, and she won. Behold within the box lay a little weapon, which she and the woman-child puzzled over for a bit and then they decided upon a plan. Courage and hope lighted the worn features of the woman as she made another effort to climb the bank, down which she had been thrust so often and so ruthlessly in the days before she had learned the lesson of despair. And now with the little weapon in her hand no one dared oppose her, but together she and the child climbed to the upper road. Long would the stains upon their garments show the bitterness of the lower road, and still were the burdens.' heavy, though much had slipped from them in their climb to the upper road, but here there were not the tangled weeds to catch their feet, the holes in which to stumble, and the sea which ran in upon the shore below so treacherously was. not so near and threatening. For the the box she had found was a ballot-box. CLARA LOUISE THOMPSON.

EDITORIAL 0 THOSE who are interested in self-improvement, let us give a bit of our experience. There is nothing like criticizing other people to discover ones own faults. We were about to reveal to the world the shortcomings of several of our exchanges in not having the names of the schools and their local habitations on the cover or title page, when we found to our chagrin, that not only had we failed to have the name of our school on our cover or title page, but we did not even have a title page at all. We hope you have noticed that we have remedied the deficiency. There is a strange lack of appreciation of values in a girl who will, to avoid being caught in a minor offense, sacrifice the fineness of her integrity. Is it not rather more important that a person keep her self-respect than keep her name out of the corridor teacher's observation book? Or somewhat more important that she learn what she has come to school to learn than keep her grades by dishonesty in her work? We wonder whether girls do not realize that by white lies, insincerity, dishonesty, they are soiling things which should be kept sacred, and that such things not merely indicate frailty of character, but strike at the very root of the moral nature. What one is as a school girl one is as a woman; dare we let the petty considerations of school life weaken the womanhood with which we hope some day to help in the world's work! Since commencement partakes so much of a memorial nature and concludes one phase of the existence of the

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

school we feel as though students, especially those who do not expect to return, should make a point of staying to the last. A few days more or less do not mean so much when once the excitement of going is over, that you can afford to sacrifice for them the logical climax, the concluding ceremonies, of the year. On the commencement program is to be printed a roll of honor, students in each department whose work has been of "A" grade for three of the four quarters, one of which must be the last. Don't slacken up the last quarter and lose your place through a belief in that persistent fallacy, spring fever.

Before you begin to pack up your belongings to go home, we suggest that you go through them and sort out the music, ribbons, spoons, books, dollars and cents, shoe polish and reputations which you have taken from other people, and return them, in lieu of p. gs. We really believe that one's own property returned would be more welcome than any boudior cap or Belmont pin you might get for your friend. We speak with deep feeling.

We wonderWho stumbled over and uprooted a "Keep on the Walks" sign one dark night? Who swiped the monogram of the Tulane Anti-Suffragette Club's letter? Who returned Miss Thompson's grape fruit? Who condemned North Front'? Who is going to close school the first week of May? How much more we have to pay on the Annual? How many girls do not chew gum? Madam G.-"I took dinner last evening at the Hermitage Hotel." Polite Student-'That was nice! And did you have jellybeans?" Madam G.-"No, I do not like beans. I had mushrooms in cream."

Miss Hood and Miss Heron consented to a holiday on March first for the girls who did not go to Washington, instead of one on Washington's birthday. At this time of the year we appreciated the day especially. Work on the new buildings goes on steadily. Lights have been strung across so that the men can work both night and day. On February 15 a suffrage league was organized, with Winnie Davis Myers as President; Bertha Daniel, VicePresident; and Flora Jones Secretary. The absence of the girls at Washington postponed activities for a time. There was a meeting on March 15, at which Mrs. Guilford Dudley, President of the Nashville League spoke, followed by an interesting discussion. March 28 Mrs. Ida Clyde Clarke invited the members to tea at Heartsease, and in addition to the social side of the afternoon and the league business, Mrs. Hickman Price answered questions and difficulties of the members and told some of her experiences and observations. The League is to have a page in the Annual, with the pictures of the officers and a list of the forty-five girl members and the nine of the Faculty who are enrolled as honorary members. The motto of the League is "Wider Service." March 19, the third student's recital was given, a program presenting pupils of nine of the musical Faculty. These recitals are especially appreciated for the variety which they offer, including, as did this one, piano, voice, organ and violin. The fourth student's recital followed the next Monday, presenting students of the director's class, who attained a high degree of excellence.

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

Of all the privileges. that have been allowed us, that of having little paper bag lunches in our rooms on Sunday evening, instead of going to the dining-room, has been most highly appreciated. April 2, Mrs. Bertha Kunz Baker, through the generosity of the Alumn~ Association, gave a reading to the Assembly of Cyrano de Bergerac, which roused great enthusiasm in the girls. The Seniors in expression had the pleasure of meeting her later. Mr. Henkel has played for us in the chapel several times to our great pleasure. "Midsummer Caprice" appealed to us especially, and his selections in general have been very happy. One of the strongest talks that have been given here this year was that of Mr. Morgan, on a girl's influence in the home, at chapel, on April 2. Mr. McNeely gave a stirring recital of some of his experiences in the Civil War in chapel March 24. 'They" say not to have a hobby because you might go crazy on the subject. However, the Belmont girls have a hobby, and figuratively speaking are crazy over it. Before Christmas some of the individual pictures were taken for the Annual and after the holidays, the remaining ones. Group pictures, class literature, jokes, personals, and stories have been discussed and recussed, and now we have to pay for it and keep on paying for it until the end of the year. Since last issue we have had several opportunities for going to the theater, which were embraced with the usual enthusiasm by the student body. "Officer 666" entertained us royally with its nimble wit. "The Little Rebel" reduced us to copious tears, through Which, however, we managed to see with rapt interest what

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

happened next. Frances Starr and her excellent support in "The Case of Beckie" were followed with deep and sympathetic interest by the large number who went to see it. But the best of all was David Warfield in the very beautiful and spiritual drama, "The Return of Peter Grimm," in which he did not disappoint even those who knew him as the "Music Master." On April 11, was the concert of the orchestra, which gave us an unusual amount of pleasure. Besides the orchestral numbers there was a violin solo by Margaret Mansfield, and Lee Edda Campbell sang. Lost-Twelve Centuries of English Prose and Verse. BERTHA C. NORRIS. Please make an effort to find and return this book, as it is very highly valued by its owner. Lu Musicae has issued its second effervescent number. The girls are certainly up to time with their work. We know what it means to get out a paper.

"When I read in the Nashville papers several weeks ago of the Belmont-Ward consolidation, I thought immediately to tell you how rather blue it made me, and then I remembered that was a selfish way of looking at it, for you both have earned the needed rest and time for travel and pleasure. And it must be a great gratification to retire when Belmont is at is zenith of prosperity and when the love and good wishes of such a host of friends go with you. But some of these friends are going to feel that Belmont is not at all the same place and miss the good times that we have had there. "But you must surely spend one winter in California: There are so many things to enjoy and so many delightful places to visit. The weather is beautiful and we spend much time out of doors. We were seven weeks in San Diego with friends in their home and enjoyed it. We have a delightful boarding place here, what we would call a 'Pension' in Europe, where sixty or seventy are accommodated-delightful people-some tourists, and others making it their home. "We will remain here about two months, then I am going to San Marcos. Yesterday we went out to the Mission Play which is given in a unique theater built just for this play. It is opposite the old San Gabriel Mission. The

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

posters advertise that it is to California what the Passion Play is to Germany. That is too strong a comparison, but it is well worth seeing. It is historical and shows the life of the old Mission. "We have also been out to Pasadena, and quite lost our breath at the magnificence of Orange Grove Avenue, the home of many millionaires. I believe Pasadena is considered the richest place of its size in the United States. Adolphus Busch, the brewer, worth about a quarter of a billion, has opened his vast and beautiful grounds to the public, and hundreds of sightseers visit them every day. "I think San Diego has the most beautiful natural location ; its harbor is so lovely. I shall never forget the view from Point Lennox, which Baedeker claims is one of the most beautiful in the world and you know in Europe we reverence his word. Point Loma is the most southwesterly point in the United States, and extends out seven or eight miles from the mainland. It is a high, narrow strip of land with the ocean on one side and the beautiful harbor, with the Coronado and the Silver Strand on the other, and in the background San Diego rising in terraces to the mountains, in the distance the summit covered that day with snow. It was a glorious sight. "I quite lost my heart to Santa Barbara, too, and wished that we had planned to stay there longer. All the flowers and most of the ornges were killed by that dreadful freeze last month, something that had not happesed within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. I was glad to have seen the flowers and to know how beautiful they can be in winter." ALVIE SPARKS.

Washington Trip

.To write up the Washington trip in two hundred words is like "seeing New York" in two days.

Of course, one's arrival and departure from a city is always important. So, we arrived in Washington on March first, and while waiting for our cars, we were introduced to the name by which we were to be known during our st ay in • the East, "Suffragettes." We viewed the city and its historic spots from the top of rubbernecks on Saturday afternoon and that evening visited the Congressional library and the Capital building. On Sunday, we attended the church of the Epiphany m the morning, while in the afternoon we visited beautiful Old Arlington and enjoyed its many interesting features. Monday morning found us on one of the river steamers for the trip down the Potomac to Mount Vernon. On our way We passed many interesting places, among which were Fort Washington and Alexandria, Virginia. We returned to the city a little after noon and went directly to our seats to view the Suffrage Parade, which in spite of the crowds and disorder, was very wonderful and beautiful. In the evening, we attended the New Colonial Theatre and heard charming Billy Burke in "Mind the Paint Girl." The inauguration day found us bright and early in our seats in the Market Square grandstand, where the· parade and the boy scouts held our attention and interest for many hours. We cannot omit mention of the fire works. The di splay was very beautiful and well kept up the standard set for this part of the celebration. Leaving Washing-ton on Wednesday morning, we arrived '- New York for dinner. We attended the iippoe in drome, which was a marvel to us all for its size and the magnitude of its production, "Under Many Flags." New York gave us a rather frigid welcome, and, alHi

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

though we spent the next two days trying to see the city, it was under great difficulties. Thursday was spent in Tarrytown, and in the late afternoon the girls of the Castle entertained us at a very beautifully appointed tea. It is impossible to discuss all that we did, but we must not neglect to mention "Within the Law," the Grand Opera, "La Boheme," or Elsie Janis in "The Lady of the Slipper," which we attended while in the city. "All good things must end," they say, and so in accordance with this wise saying, we left New York on Saturday afternoon on the steamer Jefferson for our trip home. We enjoyed every minute of our time spent in Old Point Comfort and Norfolk, and arrived home early Tuesday morning tired, bedraggled and happy.

From the Day Students Pieces of Advice. Before ordering an "Irish Float" at Skalowski's get Elizabeth Drake's opinion on the subject. Before getting a "Crush" see Katrina Overall for a full course of instruction in the art. Before dressing your hair for a dance ask Amelia Cayce for the latest ideas, (beaux or not.) Before getting frightened in a storm learn from Annie Mai Underwood the nervous thrills that will put you "in the infirmary'' the next day. CONTRIBUTED.

Although two or three of our girls waited until the last week in March to take their holidays, most of them took them at Easter, and our aisle certainly looked empty that Friday and Saturday. Three of the day students went with the other girls to Washington.

Y. W. C. A. The meeting on March 5 was led by Lenice Ingram. The meeting on March 12 was conducted by Della Clayton and was given over to the reports from the delegates to the Student Volunteer Conference, which was held at Murfreesboro. Martha Boone gave a report from Bishop Lambuth's talk on Africa; Lenice Ingram from Mr. E. A. Brown, of Vanderbilt University, whose theme was China, and Miss Norris from Dr. Egbert Smith's address on China. They reported an enthusiastic and inspiring conference. Miss Duncan, who is a missionary to the negroes in the Union Church College, led the meeting on March 19. She gave an interesting talk on her work among the negro settlements of this city. The Finance Committee, under the leadership of Ethel Badgeley, Chairman, had charge of the meeting on Mar9" 25. Reports on "Ways of Making Money and How it is Spent" and of missionary and settlement work that they are supporting were given by members of the committee. Miss Blalock gave an interesting talk on "What the Belmont Y. W. C. A. is and what it has done." . Miss Alice Parker led the meeting of April 2, and made it a very interesting one. The Y. W. C.

School of Expression

■ -- SExpression COMMENCEMENT time draws nearer the Department begins to finish up its work and be ready for the close of school. The various books and programs which have been in preparation during the year are being completed and we are looking forward to some very enjoyable afternoons and evenings of readings. The first program was given by Miss Lee Edda Campbell on March twenty-seventh, when she read an original cutting of Kate Douglas Wiggin's "Old Peabody Pew." Miss Campbell interpreted this with a simplicity and genuineness of feeling that carried us straight back to Old Tory Hill and its various situations. Miss Hazel Wilson will read Paolo and Francesca, by Stephen Philips, about the first of May. It is with great pleasure that we are looking forward to her evening recital. Miss Ione Brown is preparing to give the "Scarlet Pimpernel, by Baronness Orcazy, which assures us of another enjoyable afternoon. Miss Grace Ruble will give "The Little Minister," by J. M. Barrie, in early May. We have not forgotten the "Captain" Grace, and we are expecting another delightful treat. On the twelfth of April, the children gave the play, "The Treasure Hunt," written and arranged by Miss Maria Thompson Davies and Miss Pauline Sherwood Townsend. The play not only appealed to the children, but the grownups also. It was the story of an old Confederate soldier Who loved the children and told them stories. During the war he had hidden his money belt, and then forgotten where

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

it was. Unless the belt was found, the Captain would have to go to the Old Soldier's Home. The play is the search and the final reward of the children when the old black cat shows them where it is. Many of the expression students went on the Washington trip and enjoyed the splendid plays and operas that the party attended while in Washington and New York. Miss Townsend, who was chosen to direct the pageant to be given in Nashville this spring, has been busy with many rehersals, and from all reports it will be a most wonderful production. The pageant includes about two thousand people and will be presented at Centennial Park in early May.

Domestic Science According to their custom the Seniors in cookery gave several Faculty luncheons during the quarter. Covers were set for six each time and the tables were unusually attractive. A special luncheon was given for Miss Hood's guests, who were with us for some time. To the relief of all Miss Rainey permitted her cookery classes to have class demonstrations, each girl cooking some one tking, in substitution for the conventional examinations. Quite a unique method for raising money was taken for the building fund of the Belmont Methodist Church, in giving a series of cooking demonstrations, of which Miss Rainey presented one, on "Invalid Trays" and "School Lunches," assisted by Bessie Allen and Mary Eshbaugh.

EXCHANGES This issue we welcome among our exchanges two strangers from a distance, one from the shores of Lake Superior, the Tattler from the High School at Marquette, Mich., the other the Tatler from Ithaca, N. Y. We are especially glad to include in our list schools in other sections of the country and feel that interchange of ideas would be helpful to us and conductive to a greater cosmopolitanism. We have now three Tatlers on our list (with some variation of spelling,) the third coming to us from El Paso, Texas. The Ursa Major from the Fairbanks High School, Alaska, represents another geographical extreme and is besides a very interesting paper. We shall be glad to receive their next issue. Other new exchanges are the Almanck from Ferry Hall, Lake Forest, Illinois, the Bowen Blade, of Nashville, and The Hornet from the Princeton High School, Princeton,

Ky.

Some of the recent cover designs have been very attractive. The Centralian, of Central College, Arkansas, has artistic quality, with a specially pretty one for the March issue. The February Hendrix College Mirror was quite in Belmont brown. The Tennessee College Magazine seems rather above the average in the real worth of its contents. We also note a well constructed memorial issue of Sharps and Flats, from the Cincinnati Consevatory of Music. We have observed the greatest variation in the length and seriousness of the editorial departments of the many papers sent to us. It seems to us that of all the departments of a paper that is the one on which the editor s9o'}"" expend most thought and which should be of greatest interest to the staff and the reading student body. It offers

THE BLUE AND BRONZE

an opportunity for discussing in an informal way matters of general interest to the school on which one might expect a live editor to have opinions and a desire to express them. In the course of the year we have had some very kind criticism from various papers, for which we express our thanks. One of our friends said that we would be improved by a page of jokes, to which we would answer that it all depends on the jokes.
