The Story
WH
M'hich the
Sea Shell Told Me
ILE wandering by the
sea shore one evening just at the set of the sun, I noticed a tiny pink shell, and was at once seized with a desire to possess it. This was quickly done, and I now noticed its striking beauty, for, as the last rays of the sinking sun fell upon it, it was marveloiisly lit up and its radiant colors possessed an almost lifelike individuality. Involuntarily I placed it to my ear, for this liad always been a favorite pastime of mine, listening to the voices and murmurings of the sea. I could hear the dash of the waves on some distant coast and the sigliing of the winds among its trees. A picture of this land rose before me: On a rocky coast stood an old ivy grown castle, its turrets showing above the grove of ancient oaks which surrounded it; a path overliung by numerous vines and boughs wound down among the rocks to a sharp point jutting out into the sea. The whole scene was bathed in a silver flood of moonlight.
While I watched, the tower clock rang out twelve silver strokes upon the clear air at the same time I noticed a disturbance among the branches far up on the hillside. A feeling of expectancy pervaded the air. Presently the vines hanging just over the jutting rock parted and a woman's figure, at once stately and graceful, stepped out. At her appearance there was a ripple of the water, and gathering around the rock, as suitors at the foot of their queen, a group of mermaids appeared. The woman fell upon her knees, and a silence pulsating with sorrow was all around. The mermaids bowed their lovely heads and covered their faces with their long flowing hair. A sigh escaped the lips of the kneeling figure, and then softly and slowly she began a song which told of love disappointed and a broken heart. At intervals she was joiued by her strange choir. At length the song was ended, the singer stepped forward, and, with her troop of followers, disappeared into the sea. The moon shed its radiance as before, and finally the whole scene faded from my view. A small voice from the recesses of the shell finished the story for me. It told how this lovely woman, having been forsaken by the one she loved, in her hopeless despair threw herself into the sea at this spot, and joined herself to its inhabitants. Ever at the midnight hour she, grieving for the love which never was for her, returns and sings her sad song. Now people often wonder why I am so attached to a tiny shell which lies upon my desk; but this is because they do not know the strange, sad story which it told to me. Nannie H. Tuenek. ;

The Library OF
the rooms in the building, no one affords more pleasure to our students than the unless it be her own sanctum sanctorum. Here, in the beginning of the we form our earliest acquaintances while purchasing the long list of books we are supposed to master during the coming session. On entering the library one first notices the long tiers filled with books objects of terror to some of the new girls, who at once conclude that ere the session shall close, they will be expected to "pass" on all of them. Beyond these is the reading room, which is set apart for the use of sedate, thoughtful young ladies, who, wishing to flee from the "maddening crowd," may pursue their work in peace and quiet! The comfortable appearance of the room is especially conducive to earnest study, and, if one wishes an inspiration, a glance toward the corner at dear old Caesar's face will certainly be all-sutficient. Often when magazines and papers have just come in, or the librarian is very busy, your thoughts will be disturbed by such remarks as these; "Come here Lucy, and see this Jack has married that horrid Nellie Smith. What a shame for such a handsome boy as he to be tied to her " Then another will rush in with, "Please tell me something about this Latin it's nearly class time and I can't translate a sentence"; or "Will you tell me where to find this reference in Psychology?" From another corner of the room will come the exclamation "Listen girls. R. M. A. beat the V. P. I's, six to nothing!" In the midst of this loud whispered conversation, a sharp rap-tap on the librarian's desk is heard, and we instantly know if quiet does not at once come, somebody surely will. In a minute a girl slips into a corner to hide under a pile of papers a much used reference book, while another, noticing this, jumps up and with a wild dash secures it, much to the other's chagrin. AVhen the conversation is renewed, which is generally the case, the subject is probably the faculty the favorite teachers and so forth. One declares that Miss P is so favored this term as to be attended by two shadows instead of one, the second being very lall, in striking contrast to the first devotee. Another girl announces the fact that P is so much in love with Mrs. K that she is thinking of going with her to Minnesota next year, even if she has to tramp the distance in "hobo" style, taking along a dancing bear to pay current expenses. Thus the latest gossip is served up in the newest and most approved manner, till one wonders "if I be I." At this point, the well known footstep of the librarian is heard, when the scene immediately changes. Each head is now bent over a book, while the more timid ones take to flight not through the door, however, but the window the most convenient and safest means of egress. A weird atmosphere envelops the library at night, for it is here the different sororities have their initiations. Many and varied are the reports of a few who have been brave enough to risk the wrath of the different societies, and wickedly listen or peep at windows and doors. Fearful groans and sounds unearthly are associated with this part of the building, over which hangs a veil of mystery that only the wise members can lift. But we do not wish to give any one outside of our school a false impression of our appreciation of the library, for we are quite proud of our choice periodicals and many valuable books. The courses in collateral reading are well selected and give additional interest and value to the regular class work. Our girls may occasionally have much fun in the library, but all show by steady faithful work how much they value these gifts from our beloved 'Virginia. all

Passing on I came to a wide expanse of meadow land through which rippled a tiny brook dashing over the pebbles, catching every ray of sunlight, and bandying it about from rock to rock. In this meadow a flock of sheep pastured: some of which were drinking the sweet, fresh water of the brook, "thers grazing the juicy young grass.

Further on, I came to a dilapidated, but thoroughly picturesque, old bridge crossing a little stream which, in its winding, seemed turned from its intended course. The storms of many jears had scarred and discolored the old structure, and the Here and there a tramp of many feet had made noticeable depressions in its floor. timber, either having partly rotted away in the lapse of time, or having been pulled aside by some rude hmd, had become displaced; and by its strange position added While looking down into the depths of the stream, there came beauty to the scene. to me the serious thought of how many more, now gone forever, might have done as I was doing, and how little the acts of one person affect this world.

From day to day in a school girl's life tliere stretches an endless chain of temptations to be guilty of acts of dishonesty, acts which seem so trivial a,s to appear almost harmless. But it will be impossible for a student to be honest in the great things of life unless her honor and integrity are maintained in even the most insignificant details of her every-day life. "What is honor in school life ? Is it honorable to obey, be studious, refrain from evil, as long as one is watched by teachers or other otticials? That is to be an "eye student." The same girl around the corner out of teacher's or matron's sight breaks all bounds, and disobeys without a qualm o' conscience. Has she a high sense of honor? There are many other ways of being dishonest in school life, as being careless about returning books, tablets, pencils, hats, and articles of dress that have been borrowed; handing in work not your own; cheating on "tests"; and inventing excuses for unfilled duties. But there is a course of honor open to the student in another direction in social life. Is it honorable to be kind to a girl to her face and then say bitter, unkind things behind her back?
