C., Ella remained at home for several years, then she visited her father's old home in Scot- land; while here she became charmed with the country and a certain above mentioned gentleman. She now spends half of each year in her Scottish home, and the other half with her parents in America. She is extremely happy and never tires of relating in the twilight wonderful tales of daring deeds that she and the other girls did while at College." Surely this was a surprise to me-not that Ella's name came last on the roll+-Oh, no? how well I remember how she was always the last to come in the recitation rooms, the dining-hall, and the last to retire and rise. But I meant to say that I was surprised to think of her as being married. Many were the scoldings she had given me for looking at the boys, and now, alas, she has captured a man. I am positive that she is happy in Scotland, for it must be a "perfect country" if all the tales that she used to tell us about it were true; she was proud of her Scottish blood. I must not think more now of the good, old college days; I have recorded what the roll relates of my dear class-mates and I must leave you to decide for yourselves that we were a remarkable class, and produced characters that are suc- cessfully fulfilling their destinies. 83
