Faculty Increased
Ka1.areth College this year has
found it necessary to increase the
faculty. In addition to the former
members we now have : :\.[iss Jan~
Carboni of Cornell of the ro-­mance
language department; l\lr.
Thomas Harney of Notre Dame,
who is head of the education de­department:
Mr. Wm. Flaherty
of Fordham. who is in charge of
the department of mathematics.
and Mr. John Donovan. iorm­efly
connected with the Ulliver­sities
of :'Ilaine and Georgetown.
who is head of the department of
Social Science.
Xazareth College is indeed
fortunate to secure these instruc-to
rs. whose ahility in their own
departments has been already so
well demonstrated. \Ve hope
they are going to like tiS as much
as we like and appreciate them.

A Welcome

to officially welcome one
who. although not a member of
the faculty. nevertheless plays a
role of prime importance. \Ve

Oi course. it was splendid to
live in this new house. sur­rounded
hy fields where you
could run at will and "pretend"
all sorts of wonderful things.
The ··make·believe·' world was
very dear. but you wanted real
playmates too. and "honest-and­truly"
boys and girls couldn't
live where there were no houses.
Sometimes it seemed as though
it had been more fun to live in
the "Little Brown House." There
had been a nice little girl with
long golden curls who used to
come often to dig in the drive­way
there. ~1ary Esther remem­hered
all about the "Little Brown
House:' for she had left it only
last spring. Moving day had
been tremendously exciting. She
had awakened to find a big van
in front of the house, and men
tramping in and out. Mamma
had pulled her be<! right in front
of the window. so that she could
watch all that went on until it
was time to dress her. lfow
funny it was to see furniture in
the front yard! Two men had
come right into the room and
picked up ;"lamlna's dresser as
though it were nothing at all!
Presently Mary Esther had
hreakfast.-a "ery queer meal it
was, loo.-sitting in her high
chair all alone in the middle of
the dining rool11. Afterwards
:'Ilamma had taken her to Aunt
~!ary's for the day, and when
she came home again it had been
to the strange new house. Of
course. Mary Esther had seen
the house before. when she and
Daddy and Mamma were out
driving. She wrinkled up her
nose in pleasant speculation as to
how s.oon she would have another
of her beloved Sunday afternoon
rides. How she loved to see
Daddy drive up in a little one­seated
buggy. just big enough for
two grown-ups and a little girl,
with a fine big brown horse.
Brown horses were nicest,
thought Mary Esther. Always
Daddy let hcr take the ends of
the reins and play drive.
Suddenly }.hry Esther trotted
up the street in search of immedi­ate
tangible pleasure. One never
failing source of joy was ever at
band-to watch the carpenters at
work on a house near by. The
foreman was such a nice man,
and was very kind to }'Iary Esther
if she only stood at the end of
the lot so as not to be a bother.
Time simply flew while she
gazed, spell bound, at the fasci­nating
things those men could do.
Early in September there came
a great event which changed
:'lIar)" Esther'~ whole course of
existence. :'II amma had ~poken

playing house in Cora's
attic. learning from Edith to
make doll dothes. and squabbling
with ! sabel. who was forever
~ewing the seeds of discord.
That Christmas when Mary
Esther was four was a glorious
time. For the first time she had
a real fireplace in which to hang
up her stocking. Early in the
morning she stole down with
Daddy. to find it fille<! with
exactly the things she had asked
Santa Claus to bring. One
thing was missing. though-a
little sister to Effie-dolly. She
had wanted that especially. Later,
upstairs among the presents. un·
der the tree. she found a note
which Santa had written just to
her promising that Effie should
have her little sister on New
Year's Eve which was entirely
llnassociated in her mind with the
finding of a beautiful new dolly
next day. Aunt Ella's coming
meant having a big boy cousin
to play with and a baby cousin to
wonder at and amuse.
The succeeding weeks and
mOllths passed without the occur­rence
of any startling events,
filled merely with the countless
little joys and woes so al1-im­portal1t
to a lass of "four-going­on-

without ample proof, to accuse
college girls of it. Not content
to enjoy their infantile pleasure
in secrecy, these "three irre­pressible"

familiar devices which might be
aptly characterized "four wheels

children, to whom this pleasure
rightfully belongs, gazed in wide­eyed
