Ingleside, con. 165

“This gift is just a token
Of good wishes from a friend,
Whose love is vastly greater
Than the present she can send.”

Florence Wetherald asked for new kinds of sandwiches
as her soul was vexed with putting up
lunches each day and every day that school kept.
Ham, tongue, broiled bacon, nuts, cheese, jam and
many others were suggested, but she had tried
them all apparently. One genius said, “Give
them plain bread and butter for awhile, or let
them put up their own lunches.” Louisa T.
Brooke thought canned soups especially liked
and they may be heated on a spirit lamp.

Virginia Steer offered a short poem upon
“Life’s Loneliness”

“Thoughts, words, and deeds
To stand for truth in all,
This is the crest that counts
Staunch fortitude and strength of trials borne,
Securely treading, though the way be uneven.”

Rebecca T. Miller told of an effort to arouse
the nation on the subject of fire-prevention. The
class of Bryn Mawr College has endowed five
scholarships to make this new study possible,
and the department of labor and industry has
accepted the gift. Rebecca’s second selection was
entitled “Success” –

“If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it
Work day and night for it
Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it, -
If only the desire for it
makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it, x x x
If gladly you’ll sweat for it
Fret for it;
If you’ll simply go after that thing you want
With all your capacity, strength and sagacity
If dogged and grim,
You besiege and beset it
You’ll get it.”

Mary E. Thomas told of taking lunch at the
“Mary Elizabeth” Store and Tea Room on 5th Ave. N. Y.
