There are times and times-times which wc can look back over with thrills of pleasure-times which for the merc thinking of cause one to grow excited and as enthused as though it were that time being lived over again. Times which--but what's the use! In that category of times, there is always The time, and at the head of juist such a list would we place that snow fight. Of all exciting things, of all right down fun, of all extraordinary ideas, that was the best yet. To be consistent, we will say that we "counted time by snow balls, not in figures on a dial," and we enjoyed every snow ball. Honestly, we just had a glorious time, and--well, anybody could have seen what a good time we were hav ing, and we are all glad that we were there. We're.strong for snow fights. The theatre has been unusually in teresting during the last few (lays. Blanche Bates was exceptionally good in "Nobody's Vidow," and Billie Burke was the most charming, fascinating piece of humanity we had seen in a long tiine. She did not need to ask for a place in our hearts. That wv'as accorded her the moment she (lanced in to shock the dear old aunts. And really, the little pingo was irresistible. It is said that, regardless of the weather, Miss Bancroft will give her recital in our chapel on the even ing of the twenty-second of this ionth. We think that there is no dou)t about the recital this time, and hope for quite a large audience. Those who have had the pleasure of hearing Miss Bancroft sing will be glad to know of this opportunity. \Ve shall he glad to see all of those who care to come. A. G. McC. Peamre Showing workings of subma rine wirsilip, at the LyrIe Mon1day. I Met Her at the Train Down she stepped, I saw her start, A smile she half suppressed in vai; .\ thrill went through my happy heart, For I met her at the train. I grasped her hal f-extended hand, She gently p)ressedl my own; No voice from any fairy land Could match her lovely tone. T[hat voice still lingers on the breeze, HeIr b)reathl perfumes the air ; Upon my heart her image leaves Its magic traces there. T[hen ask me not the reason wvhy My heart is in a flame; For it wvould have been-to die Hadl I not met her at the train. IH. 0. H.
