NEW LAW BUILDING GOING UP. The contractor for our new Law Building laid the founda tion several days ago, and the actual laying of brick has be gun. The builders say they will push the work as rapidly as is consistent with first-class workmanship. Much difficulty has obtained in securing the proper materials, and consider able delay has resulted. Now that the work is actu ally under way, everyone is anxious to see it pushed to completion. The law school is more than anxious, for the present quarters are too bad to mention. The new building will be complete and modern in every detail, and will make a valua ble additon to the University grounds and property. BUTTERFLIES AND GIRLS. ('ONTINUDD FROM LAST WEEK. One night several weeks lat er, Jim was seated at his table, apparentely absorbed in a book. But he frequently con sulted his watch or glanced at Bob, who was leisurely dress ing to go out. "I say, Bob, if you're going, you'd better chase yourself." "You're powerful anxious to get rid of me. That's the third time you've told me to hurry," Bob remarked after critically surveying himself in the glass. Well, I don't want Miss Hel en to have to wait on her best beau." Bob lit a cigarette and then picked up his hat. "Well, I'm gone now. Don't study too hard," he called, as he slam med the door. As soon as Jim heard Bob's step on the stair he tiptoed to the door and bolted it. He had a date with Helen Cary that night and had been impatient ly waiting for Bob's departure. Although he had often called on Helen since meeting her, he never had the nerve to tell Bob; for he knew how much his chum thought of her. He quickly dressed, and catching up hat and overcoat, ran down the stairs. Softly whistling "Carolina's Day" he hurried dlown the street until he came to a big white house a few blocks from the campus. A girl met him at the door and carriedl him into the study. "'Dad andl I went on a hike this afternooni and (caught sev eral butterflies," she explained. "I've jIust started setting and idlentifyinig them. Look, isn't this a beauty?" She held up a black and white stripedl spec men with two red spots on its W1 n gs. "I know it belongs to the swallow-tail family but I can't find out what its name is You're such a bug-man, maybe you can tell." Jim examined it for a min ute, and then said, "Why I think it's a Papilio ajax." "Really? Dad will be de lighted. We've wanted that a long time. I wish we could get it's mate." "Let's see your other speci mens. Where on earth did you get this fellow so late in the season?" "Dad caught it just after we got to Ridgewood. 'Tis rather late for it, isn't it?" And so they chatted togeth er, talking first of butterflies, then drifting to flowers and fi nally to birds. Jim, who was an ardent naturalist, was sur prised and delighted that Hel en knew and .loved nature, too. "I say !" he exclaimed, "You must let me go on some hikes with you sometime. May I?" "Why, yes I suppose so. I'll let you know when we go again." It was getting late, so J5m rose to go. "Well," he said, "I promised Bob I'd read his French for him when he came in, so I suppose I had better go. I imagine he went to see a co-ed tonight, and you know they have the ten thirty rule there." "Yes, Mr. Merrivale is a fre quent visitor at the co-ed home, I hear," the girl observed. " 'Mr. Merrivale !' It was 'Bob' last time. Why this sud den change, lady?" "Why-er-of course, 'Bob'," she agreed, blushing a rosy pink. "I usually call him 'Bob.' I don't know why I said 'Mr. Merrivale'. I wasn't thinking, I suppose." Jim teased her awhile long er and then finally said good night. Just before he reached the campus he glanced at his watch. "Great Scott!" he exclaimed, "it's quarter to eleven, so Bob's beat me back." He stopped by Flinn Hall to read the evening paper, and then went on to his room. As he unlocked his door, Bob came from the room across the hall. "Why- I've been at Flinn Hall. Didn't you have your key?" ''No, I left it in my other suit." Then as Jim turned on the light, he laughed. "You look like you've been to F'linn Hall. Since when has it become the fashion to wear kid gloves and a derby to Flinn Hall? Own up, old scout, who was she?" (coNTIMNEm N PAGE SEuVEr) Star Laundry Service at S. C. University Our Campus Agent MR. C. D. BARR, JR.
