The discovery was made in a cozy corner where some of the irreverent young women of the teaching staff were making merry, says a writer in tlio World's Work. 'Annabel, who is a musical accompanist, whispered to the girls that this was tho second successive evening'she had attended a reception in this house, once as a hired enter tainer and once as a guest.

At this revelation there were indignant looks, but the teachers' inviolable safeguard, the sense of humor, came to tlio rescue, and the holder of the telltale wafer lifted H up and pro posed, sotto voce: Here's health to us: the rag-tag and bobtail of the learned professions; beloved by chil dren; tolerated by youth; forgot ten by maturity; considered munici pally, financially and socially as good enough for what is left." and nervous wouia taico ljyuia JLi. l'micnum'S Vegetable Compound they would And it tho medi cine they need, to bring them to a more cheerful frame of mind.
