THE ORION REALIZATION. HAZEL MURPHY.

Kitty McCarthy sat on the back steps, her small pointed chin cupped in her slender, brown hand. There was a far-away look in her Irish blue eyes and a flicker of a smile playing around her mouth. Oblivious to all around her, she was dreaming again, the one dream In her mind's eye she of her young unromantic life. saw herself clad as a dainty, alluring butterfly, dancing an enticing toe-dance before an admiring audience.

The picture grew more vivid and she was in the very rapture of her daydream, when suddenly she was startled by a shrill voice from within and the rattle of dishes.

"You

With a sigh Kitty slowly came back to earth, and reluctantly rising to her feet proceeded to the kitchen.

A pile of dishes in the sink banished her fancies, and without a word she plunged her round bare arms into the soapy dishwater.

After her task was done the youngest of the house of McCarthy, a lad of three, begged for one of Kitty's thrilling bear stories but he was doomed to disappointment. Kitty was again lost in bright reveries and paid no heed.

School is a tiresome thing to a girl of fifteen, Why couldn't she go on the stage and become a famous dancer? This was her one wish, her one desire, and this morning it seemed stronger than ever.

With a last dash of powder on her tilted nose Kitty took her books and was off, but she walked slowly and her heart beat rebelliously.

At the corner of the street she met a long-limbed youth with a pleasant smile.

Kitty gave him a condescending smile as she handed him the books which she had not opened since the day before.

This school-boy, however, was far too commonplace for Kitty. Her whole soul longed for the "I say, Kitty,

Several days later, Kitty slowly walked down the wide, shady street in the gathering twilight.

"Oh, if I only had a chance to try!" she said half aloud. Just then a tall man turned the corner at some little distance.

Kitty glanced up at him, and as he drew near she noticed that he was quite handsome almost as handsome as a true movie hero. In response to her romantic spirit, she let her small white handkerchief flutter to the ground as she passed him.

"Pardon me", a cool voice said "but I believe you dropped your handkerchief."

She turned and faced him. Oh, his hair was black and his shoulders were nice and broad. An unmistakable city air gave him an added charm. As he picked up the handkerchief he noticed two initials in one

"You may but turn about's fair play; suppose you tell me your name now".

"Oh, mine is Gordon Summers."

Even his name was romantic, thought Kitty with a sigh, and as they walked along she found herself telling him of her one and ever-present dream.

"I'll tell you Miss Kitty", he said with an appraising glance at Kitty's beautiful coloring and curls. "Suppose you let me help you."

With what charming modesty he told her the fact. This was almost too good to be true. Was it possible that a way was opening for the realization of her dream?

That night pretty Kitty, hugging a shabby suit case, met Gordon Summers at the one station that the small town afforded. The mid-night train slowed down for but a moment the conductor called all aboard and Kitty at last had started to the land of opportunity.

Kitty's head was in a whirl of excitement and of mingled joy and apprehension.

The next morning she was up with the sun and in a short while dressed and waiting. It seemed to her that Mr. Summers would never come. But at last he came and hurried his pretty charge into a waiting taxi.

After breakfast at a cafe how sophisticated, Kitty thought they drove to the stage entrance of the theatre.

Kitty McCarthy hesitated for a single instant, then with fluttering heart walked into the realm of her

dreams.

Two weeks later, in a stuffy dressing room, heavy with smoke and the smell of grease paint, Kitty McCarthy sat in front of a tiny glass applying lip rouge to a mouth already vivid with youth and health.

Around her sat the women of the chorus. Their harsh slang grated on her ears and something in their coarse speech sent shudders through her slim body.

Those first two weeks, during which she was introduced to that life of mystery, where the old are made young and beautiful and the youthful are changed to tottering old age in the twinkling of an eye, had not been pleasant ones for Kitty. The life of an amateur

Again the hungry and voices of the women drifted to her ears. discordant This time the words of two women not far away were Their tones were sneering and quarrelsome audible. and she listened more intently.

"I'll tell you, Gordon Summers is mine, all mine, and I give you fair warning to leave him alone," sneered one of the women.

"Well", replied the other "he's your husband, I'll admit but does that keep him from seeking pasttimes more pleasant?"

Kitty put her hands over her ears.

Her thoughts came quickly. Gordon Summers, her hero a married man? With a questionable character? She remembered with a flash how he had started to put his arm around her when they were at supper together in a cozy tea-room. She had resented it but had forgiven him. The fact that he was a married man was more than she could bear. She pressed her hot temples under her hair.

A child's treble drifted through the open window "Oh, God bless you and keep you, Mother Machree!"

The smell of hot coffee came from a near by cafe. Kitty was hungry.

Thoughts of home came crowding through her weary brain and tears sprang to her burning eyes. She wondered what they were doing there.

The child's voice made her think of small Tommy, who had so often begged for stories. She longed to see her mother, always kind in spite of her sharp tongue. A sudden and overwhelming longing to get away came over her.

With the longing came the resolution. Her bag with her few belongings stood near. She twisted up her hair, washed the rouge from her pretty pace and with a hat pulled over her eyes stole out into the night. She did not heed the passers-by, who perchance gave her is

There were tears in her eyes, but they were happy tears.

The family would still be in bed when she arrived, next morning, but she would steal in and surprise them.

There would be her mother's sharp tongue, but the kisses would come too, and little Tommy's hug would heal her aching heart.

The train sped on. Kitty sighed happily.

The Castle

of Chillon

ZENITH FREEMAN.

Nestling on the brink of a placid, peaceful little lake Switzerland is the imposing Castle of Chillon, which seems to be completely isolated from the rest of civilization by the towering snow-capped peaks of the Alps.

The Castle, gigantic and imposing, is built of stone, with small barred windows high over the water. There are many gables and steeples; one which rises high above the rest is evidently a watchtower.

It stands on a bit of projecting land which gives it the appearance of rising from the surrounding water, gray and lonely, like a huge giant of another age. Its dark reflection in the greenish-blue water below, and the mass of trees and foliage in the rear seem to create an atmosphere of romance and mystery.

Across the lake, the spires and roofs of the little village are seen basking in the sun, hazy and dim in the distance, seemingly asleep except for the small, picturesque fishing smack cruising on the lake. in

Dr. Parker of

New York

gave a series of talks

in

chapel on the subject of "Leisure", which every Anderson College girl enjoyed. Too many people in this world have no organized or systematic way of spending their leisure time.

Dr. Parker began his talk by giving the divisions of the people. They are First, the workers, and second, the non-workers.

The workers are divided into two First, there are those who love their definite classes. work, and are interested in it. These people are contented, and their leisure will take care of itself.

But the second division, those who work because they have to, are not satisfied with the place they occupy in this universe.

Their vocations are not chosen by them because they are fitted for certain work, but are thrust upon them by chance, necessity, or environment.

The non-workers are sub-divided also into those who claim that the world owes them a living, or tramps, and those who live on the money some one else has :

made.

*

The one thing that everybody is seeking is individuWhen a person is working at some vocation, and is not in accord with it, his personality is obscured.

The labor problem is becoming more acute now than ever before, because men are refusing to become mere ality.

Formerly, when the shoe-maker finished a pair of shoes, he knew that every tack, and every piece of leather in those shoes were of the very best material obtainable.

The church is the greatest institution for recreation known. The saloon has been a close rival of the church up until prohibition became a law in this country. As both church and saloon deal in "spiritual" subjects, we can see what a great attraction they would be to two distinct classes of people.

Picture shows come third in the list of recreation amusements, while the dance comes fourth. By the term dancing, is meant all kinds from the lowest which is found in public dance halls, to the highest type of aesthetic dancing.

How to combine these four subjects into helpful "recreation" and to place it where the dissatisfied people of the world can use it, is our problem.

The function of recreation was first defined by and was to consist of music and drama.

One day while he was working in his studio his sister brought him a letter.

Slowly Chester opened it bition to

Chester's face lit up as he pictured in his mind's eye how a painting of his would look hanging on the wall of the New York Art Museum, so fulfilling his highest ambition. As he realized that he was only a mediocre painter of landscapes his air-castle fell to pieces; but his ambition leaped up again, and all the night following he pondered the question.

Would it be worth while for him to enter this contest, where all the best artists of the country would compete against him?

At last, after a troubled night, Chester had made up his mind that it would be worth while to try, even if he did not succeed in winning the prize. So the next train leaving the town carried a letter to Mr. Burr saying that Chester Garfield desired to enter the conHe had gone into the game with a high determitest. nation to do his best.

An hour after mailing the letter, Chester locked the door of his studio and took from the pocket of his coat a small brown bottle with a skull and cross-bones in the left hand corner of the label.

Surely there is something wrong."

"Why yes, Dorothy," Mrs. Garfield answered, "I too have noticed his preoccupation, but I hope it is nothing serious." Perhaps it is some trifle about his painting that is a bit trying, but there is no need to worry," Indeed it was his painting that was on Chester's mind, but neither Dorothy nor Mrs. Garfield knew of his hopes or of the deadly poison that was taking full control of him. Mrs. Garfield was anxious, but scarcely owned it to herself. Chester's sudden absorbing interest in his work was new and rather alarming.

The picture was finished. As Chester looked at it he realized that it was a masterpiece. With a confident heart he sent his' painting to New York, and in

due time, along with the ten thousand dollars, it brought him honor and the admiration of men.

Even though he had built his castle high, when he received his reward it seemed too much to believe.

The prize came to him on Thanksgiving day, and he thought at the time that he would never see a happier or more thankful day.

Emboldened by his success, he wanted higher and greater things, but still he could accomplish nothing without the help of that little brown bottle. He worked on, gaining recognition and fame. No one knew of his secret inspiration.

"Chester," his sister Dorothy said to him one day she had gone in to pay him one of her now seldom visits, "Alice Kennedy, who was my room-mate

Then she hurriedly began giving him a detailed description of Alice and her charming personality, but Chester, was, as usual, busy, and paid little attention to Dorothy's remarks.

The following day Dorothy insisted that Chester go with her to meet her friend, and he consented, though his heart was in his studio among his canvases. As the train came to a standstill at the station a girl with soft brown eyes and dark hair stepped off. Dorothy rushed to greet her and Chester knew that this was the Alice whom Dorothy had tried to picture to him. But she had failed.

No

one could have put Alice into a word-pic-

ture.

For Chester, the days after Alice came seemed to pass on wings.

Then he realized that he loved her, that the time dragged when he was not with her; many hours that he was used to spending at work in his studio he spent with her, and his brushes dried from neglect. Too soon came the day when Alice returned to her western home.

Why did we come to college? Was it merely because everybody else was coming, and we felt we What are we might be back numbers without it? here for, anyway?

The purpose of education is to bring out the hidden strength and dormant energy of one's mind and to turn it into channels of usefulness. Thomas Jefferson declares the object of higher learning to be "to develop the reasoning faculties of our youth, to enlarge their minds, cultivate their morals", and he states that education should give students "happiness within themselves".

To educate literally means to "lead out"; and the gaining of an education is not cramming one's head desperately with meaningless theorems and quadratics to be frantically written down on an examination paper the next day and then forgotton, but it is a conscious growth, a development of inherent power that shall enable one to take one's rightful place in the world and meet life's testing-times square-

Did you come to college "just to be coming?" Or have you a definite aim in view, a goal toward which you are climbing?

At the end of four years she may receive a diploma. But where is her college education? It is just

where it was four years before, certainly not rolled up and handed to her with that beribboned diploma.

Have something to work for, and go after it. Colleges are not meant for girls who dawdle.

They are built for girls who want to learn to face life unafraid, to play the game fairly and squarely. Being an earnest student does not mean that a girl must deny herself the good times that go with college. Far from it. The girl who works too hard is making as great a mistake as the one who does not work at all. It was Bismarck

who

said of students in the German universities that "one-third work themselves to death, one-third drink themselves to death, and the other third govern

Europe."

College life goes far beyond the four years spent on the campus. The college age is a plastic and habitforming age, and while a man or woman enjoys remembering good times at school, no memory of good times can outweigh the value of right principles, selfmastery, and a strong foundation laid for a useful life.

College years are character building years. The college girl is molding herself into a woman.

What sort of woman are you making out of yourself?

Will you become physically and mentally strong, wellequipped to meet and overcome the vicissitudes of life, with a heritage of character and courage and power or will the woman you are making be weak, vacillating, timorous, lacking in energy and self-control, a creature of impulse and indecision, without the strength to make her life count? Will the woman you are making of yourself be the best product you can bring forth, or will she be one constantly and regretfully looking back on the woman she might have been?

LITERARY SOCIETIES. Estherian. Society.

On Saturday night, September 27, the Estherian and Lanier Societies gave a joint program for the new girls.

The Estherian feature was a pantomime of Pocahontas, all the parts of which, even to the trees and animals, were taken by the old Estherians. After this, the Laniers took charge and presented their half of the program.

"Big Estherian Carnival" the party given for the new girls on September 24th, was one of the most successful parties ever given by the Estherian Society.

The gym was gayly decorated in various colors. A Turkish dance was given by Dorothy Prevost, after which a very handsome negro danced the plantation dance for us. Of special attraction to the new girls were the different booths containing "The Fat Woman", "The Midget," and others. One could get one's fortune told very satisfactorily by the gypsy in one booth.

Popcorn, red lemonade, horns, whistles and chewing-gum were distributed freely among the girls.

The last feature of the evening was the Virginia Reel, danced by all the girls, and the carnival ended.

On Saturday night, October 8th, the Estherian Society received thirty-eight new girls.

The old Estherians went down to the gym some minutes earlier, and when we heard the new members coming down to the tune of "O Here Come the New Estherians", we all went wild. After the president welcomed the new girls and Miss Burriss, whom we are glad to have as our new sponsor, spoke a few words to us, Evelyn Cunningham gave a humorous negro reading. Then all the Estherians, new and old, sang the Estherian Song, and we adjourned.

On Saturday night, October 1, the Lanier Society gave a carbaret in honor of Anderson's new girls.

The gymnasium was very attractively arranged as a roof-garden, the Lanier purple and white used in profusion, and the Lanier debating cup suspended in the center of the room. Covers were laid for one hundred and fifty. On each table was a centerpiece of goldenrod, surrounded by place-cards, each bearing a fishhook and the inscription "The Laniers are fishing for you."

As the guests arrived with their escorts, the search for place-cards was begun, the Lanier Orchestra meanwhile playing numerous popular songs. When all were seated, the waitresses brought in the first course, described on the menu as Lanier flowers a la Mayonnaise and Lanier Julep, while the entire society sang a welcome song to the new girls.

The first number on the program was a Spanish dance by Miss Stella Nixon, which was followed by the "Dixie Moon" Chorus.

After an interval of music by the orchestra, four Laniers gave an attractive Pierrot-Pierrette dance.

When the Laniers had sung another song to the new girls, an Umbrella dance was

therefore a very practical course. The keynote of this course is, first and foremost, practicability and usefulness.

In the elementary sewing class practice will be given in garment construction, and a complete suit of underwear, a cotton dress, and a hat will be made. The students will use both drafted and commercial patterns, thus learning simple designing and methods of alterations.

Practice in hand-work will be given in simple embroidery designs and tucks.

This work will be broadened by taking up elementary textile with the view of affording better understanding of the materials used. Along with this work a trip will be made to a cotton mill, to give the girls a clearer understanding of spinning and weaving.

The study also includes lessons in personal hygiene.

The girls in Cookery II have been studying the care and preparation of food. They have canned vegetables and fruits, and have made marmalades and jellies.

A larger home will be planned later, and then will come a study of interior decoration.

The girls taking Dietetics are learning the significance and digestion of food, Metabolism and the food requirements of the normal individual of all ages. They are finding this valuable and well worth working for.

Automobiles began to make their way through the weeds that had grown up on the Boulevard during the summer. All Anderson began to take on new life, and it seemed good to be back.

On Friday morning, September 16th, the formal opening was held in the college auditorium. Besides the entire student body and the faculty, a large number of town people was present. Interesting speeches were made by Mayor Fant, Mrs. Rufus Fant, a city pastor, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Judge Watkins and "Dick" Ligon of the Board of Trustees.

Then Dr. White in his forceful way urged the students of Anderson College to be practical.

The Y. W. C. A. gave its annual party to the new girls Friday night, September 16th, in the college hall.

The girls were entertained by various stunts. A remarkable jazz orchestra arrived on the interurban and gave a program. Then Miss Newish, represented

A happy occasion that crowned the early college year was that of the opening reception on Tuesday evening, September 27, given by the College Association.

The parlors and halls were thrown into one for the occasion and were beautiful with their decorations of baskets and jardiniers filled with goldenrod.

The faculty formed the receiving line to welcome the many guests from town who attended. The punch was served by Misses Louise Henry, Emily Sullivan and Ola of the old girls,

The first "Artist Night" of the college course was an organ recital at the Baptist Church on October 14th.

Miss Edna Bartholomew, of the American Guild of organists of Atlanta, was the artist. She played an hour and a half; and she took us through every sort of place and mood. Sometimes we seemed to be listening to crashing thunderbolts, and could see flashing lightning and then we were in the dark, with mystery all around. It was one rapturous sound after another we had no idea an organ could sound like that. Some said they could have listened as long as she would play.

One girl reported it was "punk". The same thing does not sound the same to all, it seems.

Miss Bartholomew was a guest of the collegs while in Anderson, and was heard to say that the "girls were very refined and gentle in their manner, both in the halls and dining-room." This is indeed encouragtainable.
