sc VILA'S WHITE SUN-BONNET.
A cunning thing of snowy hue .
Is her sun bonnet, lined with blue,
That half conceals her roguish face,
And makes one wish to brush from place
The bobbing frill, with lace upon it—
That jaunty frill on Scylla’s bonnet.
I wish I were the strings so thin,
That tie beneath her saucy chin;
The lining soft, of azure rare,
That presses ’gainst her dusky hair—
I’d give the check for my best sonnet
For one peep under Scylla’s bonnet.
Ah well, they’re neither one for me—
The bonnet or the girl—you see;
And yet, till Master Fate bequeath
The bonnet and the face beneath
To some one else, I’ll watch her don it,
And dream of Scylla and her bonnet.

Not one who attended the Book
men’s banquet last Monday even
ing could have gone away without
bearing with them recollections
which will always be pleasant to
dwell upon.
It was a swell affair, as Book
men’ affairs always are, and not a
thing was lacking to make the
evening enjoyable.
Owing to the fact that several
of these learned men had already
entered the state into which all
Leschians and Bookmen finally
drift, making it highly improper
for them to go off to the club alone,
the body set aside its old precedent
concerning that species of banquet
called “stag” and invited the
ladies to come also.
It was a congenial party and one
that knew how to improve the op
portunity of enjoying itself.
Among those present were Col.
W. C. Martin and wife, Col. Julian
McCamy and wife, Percy Baker
and wife, Messrs. E. P• Davis,
John Thomas, Frank DuBois, W.
M. Jones, John Moore, Misses
May Lynn, Ruth Allen, Willie
White, Scylla Thomas and May
Gordon.
The table and decorations were
elegant and the feast which had
been prepared by Mrs. Dettor was
perfect in every appointment.
The following was the menu:
Broiled Spring Chicken on Toast,
Green Peas, Chicken Croquettes,
Saratoga Chips.
Cold Boiled Ham,
Boast Turkey, Salmon Salad,
Pickles, Olives.
„Vanilla Ice Cream,
Cake.
Coffee, Assorted Cakes.
Dumcrambo and “dugan up”
furnished much amusement during
the evening and it was a late hour
before an adjournment coubd be
affected.
The winter term of the Book
men club closed with Monday
evenings entertainment.
' A course of study will soon be
decided upon for the opening next
fall.
