By request, a letter was received from Miss Foss, '94, which brought a welcome budget of college news. A pleasing feature of the after noon, was the introduction of four members of the Senior class of the Wellesley School, who daintily served the tea, and gave the members of the club an opportunity to extend them a word of welcome from Alma Mater, to whose care they will be entrusted in September, '92. The absence of the Secretary, Miss Lodor, by reason of illness was deeply regretted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nor have they the relief of long vacations, for beside the rather short sum mer recess, they have only a few days at Christmas. We may expect to find the national charac ter reflected to some extent in the methods of public instruction, and the distinctly practical tendency of the French systems is exactly what we should look for.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Wellesley Prelude, Vol. 1: September 21, 1889 Sweet Brier. By M. E. N. Sherwood. Boston D. Lothrop Co. Price Following the present fashion which finds in house keeping and recipes excuse for story-telling, Mrs. Sherwood has made of her Sweet Brier a sugar-coated dose of social etiquette. The heroine, Phyllis Gatewood, is introduced as an unlessoned girl from a country town. She is disci plined somewhat abruptly and severely by a summer flitting from Saratoga to Richfield, from Richfield to Newport and from Newport to Lennox, under the auspices of a fashionable aunt. Then follows a winter of study and gayety in New York. The girl at first learns the false and cruel side of that mysterious thing Society; but later by the aid of an amiable cousin, and of the friendly rector who prepared her for confirmation, she learns that much of conventionalism consists in true self-control and kindness, and that there are nobler traits in character than her own vaunted indepen dence. Phyllis is beautiful, clever and affectionate. For some unexplained reason she dances well, though she eats with her knife and drinks from her finger-b0 l In the course of the story she is instructed in the code of dining, visiting, letter-writing and general confor mity; and the book may be recommended as a hand book oi the minor morals. The costumes, menus and wedding-festivities suggest the columns of a society journal, and one is prejudiced at first against leading characters of the story by the astonishing information that the tone of the Bestwick household was too high and too thoroughbred for quarrels.
