Cupid’s Matrimonial Web Has Caught Many
of the Belles and Beaux.
A Man's Woman.
She is not sweet, the woman that I love,
Nor is she fair
Nor wise in any love that looks can tell.
And yet she knows the secret of a spsil
From feet to hair.
Ah, no, not sweet thenOnan that I love.
She is not fair, the woman that I love!
Nor is she wise.
Nor sweet, and yet she speaks from feet to
hair,
With turn of waist or throat, and I am there*
■eld In her eyet.
Ah, no, not fair, the woman that I love,
■ She is not wise the woman that I love,
Nor is she sweet
Nor fair. The spell she weaves, is It of sense?
’Tis undefined and subtle yet intense
Flame without heat.
Ah, no, not sweet the women that I love.
Not fair nor, sweet nor wise is she I love,
Beyond a name.
Incarnated mystery of negatives
;Unsolved, unsolvable: a spell that lives!
Elusive flame,
• Xhat which ,i«> the womfth that I love.

The Philosophical Lover,
You ask me, darling girl, if I,
Should you refuse me,
Would take some weapon grim and die?
Well, you amuse me.
I’d live to learn from him you choose.
That other fellow,
And from his life—couleur de rose.
Or sickly yellow
What mine had been—what I’d have done
Had you been kinder:
Had the good parson made us one,
And love been blinder.

Shorter College Gossip,
The 29th of September is a day mem
orable to the class of ’97, because on
that day the organization of that class
was effected. Pleasant thoughts, satis
faction and happiness crowded into the
day;'into it came also the realization of
bright hopes. The “little Junes” of
’96 ’97 felt that they were in fact and in
act the proud and dignified seniors of
’97-’9B; felt that upon their shoulders
was resting the responsibility of being
the eldest sisters of the great family on
College hill. With promptness, dignity,
order, and a careful observance of parlia
mentary law, the business of the class
was taken up; yet under all this was a
strong current of enthusiatm which man
ifested itself by loud hand clappings, as
the officers were elected. The following
is the result of this important election:
Miss Florida Seay, president.
MifS Ava Printup, first vice president.
Miss Eddie Warthen, second vice-pres -
ident.
Miss Annie Callaway, recording secre
tary.
Miss Sarah Mattock, treasurer.

motto, and class flower will ba select

president of the Junior class which

the first Junior (class organization in
the history of the college. Miss Seay s
unbounped energy, loveliness of dispo
sition, and executive ability led the
the class to success,and gained the ad
miration of all. Her election to the
important position of president of
Senior class shows bow much her
work, and her manner of doing her
work, are appreciated by her cless
mates, who feel sure that she will lead
them on to success In their good work;
promoting the interest of the college
and adding to the library, Miss Calla
way, the recording secretary .will have
much work to do. She will not “rat
tle about in her place.” but will fill it
well, and discharge every duty con
