entrance to the college grounds, she became furious at the idea that she was all alone in this paradise of forty thousand acres, then desperate, and she began whooping it up like a SOIl of old Eli, but trust-e. She was left here, and in a few days she calmed down. She soon became known as the most inconsistent piece of humanity in school, for while feigning a ludicrous-almost painful-state of ignorance, ill temper, what not, she was soon found out to be the wittiest girl, and to have a more universal knowledge than any other girl in the school. She has theories of her own and holds to them like grim death, even in de- fiance of public opinion, which she respects moderately (and that's all). She never had a "strike," the word is intolerable to her. She came here not to receive thc graces of some attentive youth, but to get an education, and unconsciously to educate us; for what girl in school does not try to assimilate any easy flow of elegant English like hers or to be so well informed on such a large number of topics, ordi- nary and extraordinary.

I} She showed symptoms of garrulousness early in her career and talks like a "blue streak" on any occa- sion. She took elocution to make herself 1110reexpressive; not with her eyes, however, they couldn't be improved upon. She uses them for all purposes, 'way from "goo-gooing" to showing a kindly soft light of sympathy for friends. She began to hold "at homes" for the benefit of the "Sophs." and, except on these occasions, she is never at home. Once, Mary'S friend at that time-he of the auburn hair-spent the evening with her. The next morning when she came to school, a suspicious-looking auburn hair was found clinging lovingly to her dress-thc one she had on the last evening. - - 43 - -
