Andrewartha, E. :Wurray, and L. Clleesman. In this connection, three dances , tennis tournaments, and a bridge evening have been held. but we :a re still a long way from our goal. An Associat!on Calendar is to be issued in September ue;:;t : year, for 1929. To every day there will be a quotation . sent in by a n Old Girl.

Th·ou gift that precious was to me of yore, 'While Fortune pleased to grant me happy clays,

Thy lot shall be to end thi.s weary life And rid my soul of its too heavy care. I h-ave fulfilled the life that Fate decreed ; But. now, the royal queen of this fair state, Now, go I to eternal night and peace, In the dark grave, where joy and troubles encl . 1 have av:Jnged my husband's most foul death ; Punished my brother's vile and treacherous cleecl. This city, fair and stately have I built, Have seen the walls ascend, that were but dreams. Queen or my happy nation , my own life, Had been content , too ble.ssecl for this world, If the gods had granted this last , greatest gift . That the Trojan ships had never touched our sl;ores." So spoke she, and close pressed her to the coucn, "He is gone, and ·unavenged I shall die, But death is fair and calls to me," she .said. "Life wearies me, and with the shades is peace. But this I pray, that from this distant sea The Troja·n•s cruel eyes may see this blaze

And kno\v it is my pyre, and I am dead. So may it haunt him until Life shall end.
