Finally the dinner came, and the two big men were brought together. Everything went smoothly for a while. To every question the first fighter would ask, his oppo nent would answer just es the book had suggested. But when they came to the question “How many cocoanuts can you eat in one day?” the second fighter was com pletely stumped. He grew red in the face and looked as though he wished the dining room was a ring so that he could show his opponent something he knew. It was evident that he had forgotten his partner. What would have happened if the first fighter had not realized that the second also studied the book? But he did real ize it, so he turned the conversation to a subject upon which they could both talk intelligently. Intelligent conversation is an art, which may be culti vated by listening to great conversationalists, and by thinking and reading so that you will have something to converse about This does not mean to read a book on etiquette as tho foolish prizefighters did, and other top ics.—NA. she an* Mandy Lee A fisherman who lived by the sea Ran an’ lapped into the sea.» Had a daughter Mandy Lee, —V.V.

Translating Roman Stories And Fables The first year Latin class is ( supplementing the regular class exercises by translating some Ro-1 man stories and fables. Even though some of these stories are rather unreasonable they add to the interest of the study of Latin. The class is also tracing the derivation of each English word found in the exercises where it has a Latin derivation.
