For Catalogue Address, E. I- KEMP, Sc. D. Principal cast 5lroudsburg, renru, Bachelor Queen "Old maids are a nuisance and old The girls at the summer Institute of Forest Lske were busy nt work at their benches preparing lettuce slips for trnn?plrntlrg. Thojr woro enjoy. S camp lila with its attendant dis cipline and studying school gcrden'ng the same time. At the bugle call "reveille" they arose each morning and worked, studied and recreated at stated periods. Every night when the Bad echoes of "taps" reverberated i om the surrounding hilltops, all ghs we e out, the camp was still. and Morpt "is reigned supreme. "Oh, the t iium attached to spinster- hood," laughingly interposed Miss Gordon, one of the summer school In structors and matrons of the dormi tory, suddenly appearing in the door way. "What horrible creatures old maids are. Why does not Oler ad m'nstor some of his soothing chloro form to these useless creatures and 1 consign them to sweet oblivion? Olrls, beg nt you. escape If possible this sad .stffte of single blessedness; but If Fate should unkindly relegate you to sip your cup of tea In a lonely cor- or when you r.e old and gray, reject the Odious title of 'old maid' and adopt the modern term of 'bachelor girl.' " The girls stood a&haBt at this unex pected speech from their beloved Mrhcr. She was a woman In middle re. Intellectual, refined and sympa- letle, the idol of nor girls because of her scholarly attainments and her terling qualities. In youth she had cen fair as a goddess. Her Grecian wd, crowned with a glory of silver srny hair waved over a smooth, broad forehead; grayish blue eyes, patrician oso and firm mouth bespoke honors- ancestry and gentle breeding. The years had dealt kindly with her; afire had not robbed her of many of her youthful charms, for she proved a kind mother to her ardent devotees. Marie felt that she must redeem eiself in her favorite's estimation, nd apologetically added, "Miss Qor on, when girls get together, 'the eter nal he' is generally the subject of con juration. I wonder if 'the eternal ue Is the topic when the lords of creation assemble." "Undoubtedly It Is," said Miss Gor- Inn, "although I say so tentatively, as have not had the opportunities af- orded me to settle that question be yond the shadow of a doubt. But. looting aside, girls, I have come to auk you to honor me with your pres ence at a farewell chafing dish and marshniallow party to-morrow even- sg at the 'Bungalow.' The board of administration has allowed us the use of the building until the first call of taps.' Will you come, my friends?" Of course we will," chimed all the girls, surrounding their "summer mother, dancing and singing a song composed in her honor by one of heir number. The next evening the "Bungalow" resented a scene from fairyland. A og Ore was burning In the open fire place, lighted Japanese lanterns nwung galy to and fro.and the girls In their airy muslin gowns gave the final touch of fresh, vivacious, bubbling, mirthful life. Miss Gordon presided at the chafing dlBh, assisted by her dnnclng butterflies. Marshmallows galore were toasted on batplns before the open fire. Finally, the repast of fr.dge, sandwiches and fancy cakes vns spread upon the floor, and all eat In a circle around the fireplace. A story, a story from Miss Gor- d3n," shouted athletic Alice Burs- hardt when Interest in eating began j wane. Miss Gordon bowed gracl 'i?!y, saying, "I will tell you a true 'tiry of 'A Girl That I Have Known. "Some years ago In New York 1 new a young woman of 19 who was preparing to be a teacher. She was of an Intense nature, strong In her rites and dislikes. The mediocre nev- t ratlsfled ber; she was seeking the ideal In life. Her friends said she would never marry because the para gon she sought did not exist In hu n form. Yet they were wrong in tle!r conclusion. When her training was over she elected to work In the East Bide, In that congested district where the stunted flowers In the Lord's garden do not enjoy their rightful heritage of fresh air, sunshine and cleanliness. Here she met a young physician, an other enthusiast, aiming to be a lead er In his profession. His specialty waa the study of the 'Great White Plague,' Its csuse. treatment and era' dicatlon. These Iwo Idealists became engaged, but their hopes of marriage were never realised, aa he died a vic tim of typhoid. She still labors in her chosen sphere, teaching the beau ties of God's creation to the children of the Ghetto. Her labor mar not bear fruit In this generation, but it cannot fail to reap results In the next." Just then Miss Gordon arose to sound the first call of "taps."- The glrla remained motionless, awed by the subdued voice of the narrator and the dull flashes of light reflected on the rafters from the dying embers. "It Is the story of her own life, whispered Alice to the wondering group. "A toast, a toast to Miss Gordon,' cried the irrepressible Mirle Court lelgh. "All stand ai d lift your glasses blgu in her ht.Tior." As each girl was about to drtilu the cup of sparkllcg beverage. Marie pro.-lair. cd. "To Miss Gordon, Queen of Bachelor Girls," and with a wonderfully sweet but sid smile Miss Gordon silently accepted the homage. ELIZABETH E. UAO- CfcKTY. Father's Joy. It is surprising how .ittle money a man can get along on when his fam lly needs it all, says a writer In Life "Perkins looks very happy these days."

And the waiter, a stumpy little chap he wna. Tor quite a while I ued to address htm as "Mister," wltn an Inviting pause, hop ing be would supply his name. He never supplied it, however, a.id as I am of a somewhat determined nature, persisted In this form of address, un til on one occason be said to me. "Would you mind, sir, not calling me MisterT "Not at all," I replied, as blandly bs could. "What la. your name?" "It is Hezeklan, sir, but most peo ple call me Cupid, sir." "For short, I presume?" "No, sir," he replied. "I bollevc there's a god by that name, sir, who makes work for the parsons." The evening was rather a nlnv one. and In consequence the dining room was comparaUvely empty. The waiter, therefore, had little to do but attend ns. "You see, sir," be went on. I'm of a very sentimental nature, sir. Yes," I replied, with as straight a face as-I could muster, "It seems as thought I have heard of Cupid." And from the table I rccei ved a remonstra live kick from my wife. I've figured In many a matrimon ial deal. sir. Maybe you'd like to heat of the one that gave me my nickname, sir?" "I should be glad to," t replied, and the waiter, warmed to his subject hy our recepUve atUtude, went on: "You see those little numbered dining rooms on the balcony above? Well, one night when I waa working up there. In comes an unhnppy-lookms couple that quite evidently wants to he alone, so the head waiter shows them up to No. 25. No Booner waa they seated, sir, than another couple gloomier even than the first, corucs In. and we puts them into the next room, 28. I was to wait on them all. running Id from one room to the other as was necessary. We waiters sees funny things at times, but those two couples was amazing. , They squab bled with each other, two by two you understand, neither knowing of the other's presence, and from soup to nuts, sir, not .one of them really ate enough to fill a dicky bird. " 'You had no business to take me up so quick,' says the girl In 25; 'sun pose I did ask you to take me out to dinner, that's no reason why you should bave done so.' 'Now, see here,' says the man. this Is no picnic for me, either. You're a charming girl, and all that,' he says. "but I can Imagine at least as pleasant a companion as you are proving to be,' he says. 'Confound the little minx,' he goes In a kind of musing tone, 'God bless her,' be adds quickly. she had no business to disappoint me.' You see he was thinking of some other girl. . 'And that odious Jack, says the girl. 'If he hadn't been so stupid, I'd now be with him Instead of you.' Auc so it went on, each mad that they wasn't with someone else. And tn the next room It was Just as bad. They weren't so outspoken, but I could see that a more miserable cou ple didn't exist that night It didn't take me long to put two and two to gether, so to speak, and I knew that through some misunderstanding each was out with the other fellow's girl and wlshln' be wasn't; and the same with the girls. They hsd formally Mlster'd' and 'Miss'd each other so much that I knew all their names, so finally I hit on a scheme that 1 thought might clear the atmosphere. 'I goes Into 25 .and, begging his pardon, asked If this wasn't Mr. At kins? It waa. Well, Mr. Atkins was wanted at the telephone In the man ager's office and I showed him the way to the 'phone. Then I goes into 26 and asks wasn't this Mr. Brown? That was his name,' he says, looking at me aa If he' d like to bite my head off. Well, Mr. Brown waa wanted at the telephone at the cashier's desk, and I shows him the way, which was In a different direction. I had It all fixed that there waa a mistake, and that the genUemen really wanted had already answered the calls. While the two men are gone, I puts the num ber 25 on Room 26, and vlcey versey. ao to speak. You see those curtains up there with the numbers on? Well. it waa an easy matter for me to do this, and when the men got back each goes into the other man's place. I was taking some chances, but it cer tainly worked fine. "Of course it bsd to come out right away what I bad done, and such hap py looking sets of people I've never seen before. They run In here quite frequent now, all four of them together, and they always calls me 'Cupid.' There's one thing about It, though, that I never could quite make out, not being very good at figures air." "And what was that?" asked my wife and 1 In unlton. ' "Well, you see," said the waiter, "Mr. Brown's check was for $5 and Mr. Atkins' was for $7. Now, eac'i man paid the other man's check trith a $10 bill, and both or them told me to keep the change. Which one do y v. think lost by It, sir?" "I'm sure I don't know," I laughlns ly replied, handing him a ten ruyslf. "But go thou and do likewise." "Thank you. air," aald the waiter. And he did.

The days following met entirely with her approval. Mr. Whitney wai at the house frequently. He and An na had free use of the runabout, the horses, anything the house afforded. But to all queries the girl remained silent. Sometimes she laughed, some times she blushed. She neither denie-! nor affirmed, which Mrs. Hanson de clarc-d was encouraging. So the month wore on. One afternoon towards the end of that time, after Mrs. Hanson had watched the couple bowl gayly awaj In the machine, the girls fair head close to the man's dark one, and the sound of their happy laughter Ooatin? back to the older woman, she ordered out the cob and started for the cluh It was early yet and she would Uikt a drive. It was too beautiful to be drt Ing nothing. It was a shame to stay In the house. Still early to expect to find anyone, she drove up to the club. There was always a breeze there and the piazza afforded a do lightful view of the hills and beauti ful rolling country around. The place was quite deserted, but drawn up near the steps was the familiar run about. Mrs. Hanson eyed it doubt fully and then descended and dis missed the man. Crossing the piazza she stood looking off at distant Ms uie3 playing golf, enjoying the unuc customed quiet that enveloped tin place, till a sudden sound attracted her attention to the living room with in and she turned to the window op poslte which she was standing. A man stood inside, his back turner to her, absorbed, exceedingly so, he held in his arms some charmtnt; bit of feminity, whoe prttf heaO rested against his should?r.

A hor rible suspicion had taken possessior of her, which was definitely continue' as they turned and she saw theii faces. The man was Whitney. Tlv girl decidedly was not Anna.
