UST at this time, as we areabout to enjoy to the ut-most of our capabilities ourThanksgiving recess, it maynot be out of place to bringup the subject of a longervacation at Christmas. The

petty three days do seem most inadequate forthat occasion. We know of no other insti-tution of learning in this country which allowsits students so short a holiday recess. Theeditors feel that they express the sentimentof the student body here when they say thatwe would gladly have a week added to theend of the year in June if we could be freeto spend ten days with our other collegefriends at home in December. Let us hopethat the Faculty may see the matter in thesame light.

_~~~~~~~iro %09LPrize for Essay on Equal Suffrage.

The College Equal Suffrage League isoffering a prize of one hundred ddllars forthe best essay on the equal suffrage theory.The essay must not only be on the theory hutfavorable to it. The competition is open tothe students of all the women's colleges ofMassachusetts and to the women students ofBoston University, Tufts and the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology. The notice ofthis competition with all the necessary inform-ation has been posted on the bulletin boardsof these various colleges.

The League itself came into existence inBoston in February, i900oo. It was formed bya small body of women who believe, that asthe development of the idea of the highereducation of wvomen corresponded with, andwas materially assisted by the progress of theequal suffrage theory, the theory itself mustnecessarily interest the women who are en-joying the advantages of that education.The League has two objects, the first andmost specific one, to interest college womenboth graduates and under-graduates in equalsuffrage; the second, the general advance-ment of the equal suffrage cause among allclasses.

The League has been in existence not quitea year, but during that period, it has heldmeetings at several of the women's collegesin Massachusetts, and there is the likelihoodof holding one in each during the ensuingyear.

Any person who has been a student at acollege or professional school for not less thana year may become an active member uponapplication.

The officers are as follows: President, Mrs.Charles E. Park (Radcliffe), Vice Presidents,Miss Sara Cone Bryant (Boston University),and Miss Ellen Hayes (Oberlin); Secretary,Mrs. Rufus H. Gillmore (Radcliffe); Treas-urer, Miss Mabel E. Adams (Radcliffe).I

An Optical Delusion.Not many years ago there was a Student

who had trouble with his eyes.To remedy this trouble he journeyed to an

Oculist. The Oculist did, for three hours, atintervals of fifteen minutes, drop drops ofbelladona into the eyes of the 'said Studentfor the purpose of dilating the pupils. Afterthe Student had been thirty minutes in thisdimly-lighted room, and having had twodoses of belladona was beginning to seethings dimly, he was surprised by an appari-tion from the outer world in the form of aradiant Damsel. She was bent on the samepurpose to this torture chamber.

After a short, painful silence, the Studentbroke the silence and the conventionalities byremarking about the weather. Reply wasmade, and the conversation, much to the joyof the Student, flowed on.

The Student asked of the Oculist concern-ing the Damsel, and went on his way think-ing.

The Student became madly in LOVE. TheDamsel was in his thoughts daily and nightly.

His friend knew the Damsel and afterseveral theatres and dinners he persuaded theFriend to take him around to call. Then hefound to his disgust she had much homeliness.Then the Student went out into the dark anddreary night and looked for an ELECTRICto bump him.

by Henry Smith Williams. 8vo, cloth, $2.50.Harper and Brothers, N. Y.

This work is a most entertaining and com-plete resume of the great advance of sciencein this century. It gives interesting descrip-tions of how many of the great discoveriesand inventions were made and sketches ofthe men who made them.

We would bring to the attention of Techmen and especially Course IV. students, the

Bigelow Pictures; a series of black and whitehalf-tone prints of famous sculptures, paint-ings and places. The pictures are unusuallywell printed and of a convenient size forpassepartout work. Published by E. S.Bigelow, Lowell, Mass.

Mining Engineering Society.

The Mining Engineering Society held avery interesting meeting Nov. 22, in Room I,Rogers. Prof. Burton gave a very interest-ing talk on Mining Surveying and Mr. C. H.Auer read an article on the "' Kimberly GoldFields." Mrs. Crane wiao owns a consider-able number of valuable claims in the Klon-dike, having established and worked themherself, gave an interesting account of herexperiences in those mining regions. Shetouched upon the cost of transportation, costof living, climate, temperature, and classes ofpeople one would meet in the Klondike.Mrs. Crane very kindly showed her valuablecollection of specimens to the society.

Where MacGregor Sits."Nevertheless I don't like his eyes," said Mrs.

MacGregor weakly, pushing back her chair as a de-cisive ending to all argument.

"How perfectly absurd!" objected her husbandwith a half-amused, half-pitying smile. "How un-reasonable women are !"

Young Benedick MacGregor had been marriedthree years. During that time his wife had learnedthe absolute hopelessness of discussion with him.He was one of those people who so thoroughly be-lieve in themselves and their opinions that any op-posing argument merely calls forth a benevolentsmile, a pitying shake of the head, and an unspoken"Ah, my dear, your ignorance must be content to beguided by my knowledge of the world." Constantcontact with such hopelessly sweet-tempered immo-bility gradually develops a termagant or a slave.Mrs. MacGregor's was a peace-at-any-price nature,and she preferred the more amicable course. Afterone year of married life she became outwardlyunopinionated and yielded passively to her husband'ssuperior judgment.

But a husband's "superior judgment" will occa-sionally prove insupportable to the most peacefully-inclined wife. And Mr. MacGregor's unchangingsurety that he was entirely in the right in the subjectunder consideration this morning at the breakfast-table had almost aroused a show of argument on Mrs.MacGregor's part. Yet the same benevolent smilestill curved her husband's lips. The absurdity ofconsidering Barry a schemer! Barry, whom he(MacGregor) who prided himself on his characterreading, knew to be a thoroughly honest, thoroughlystupid old lawyer! What cause had anyone to doubthim any more than millions of others who could notpay outright for their homes? Here was the Brook-line house MacGregor wished to get off his hands.He preferred a summer home and winter rooms inthe city. If Barry wanted the house and wishedMacGregor to take a heavy mortgage on it, therewas no reason to think the man would cheat. Howridiculous to suppose that any man could cheat Mac-Gregor ! And the argument ended at the breakfast-table with the pushing-back of Mrs. MacGregor'schair and her husband's conclusive smile.

Three months later, MacGregor healthily brownedby the Cape Ann sun, at peace with the world, a

straw hat on the back of his head, and a good cigarbetween his teeth, stepped leisurely from a Glou-cester train and sauntered along with the hurryingcrowd through the Union Station. How vulgarlyenergetic and excited the crowd was! What busi-ness had people to jostle a decent gentleman? Hehad wanted to escape the shop crowd, but this wasalmost as bad. What right had bare-headed Italianwomen to be away from home at this time in themorning-and with such dirty, squealing babies?Ugh! How he detested banana-eating children! They always managed to smear more of the fruitover themselves than they ever swallowed. And theway decent - looking people jabbed him withumbrellas and pummelled him with bags in theirunheeding rush for shore - or mountain-bound trains!Actually

A sounding whack on his shoulders roused himfrom his fuming, and turning around with mildlyreproachful eyes, he came face to face with Lang-dale, one of his former neighbors in Brookline. Henever had liked Langdale: he was such a rough,uncultured chap !

"Hello, Mac, how are you? Down to the city fora few days?"

"I came down to see my lawyer," answered Mac-Gregor rather stiffly, and trying to move away.

"That so?" continued Langdale, imperturbablyfalling in with MacGregor's step. "I say, it looksfunny out our way with your old house moved intothe next street, doesn't it? "

"My old house--, what the deuce you talkingabout?" And MacGregor forgot his distaste foranything so low as excitement, and even grew warmin the vicinity of his collar.

"Why, didn't you know? Barry's moved it intohis lot in the next street. They've pretty nearly

,finished the job now. Haven't connected it with thefoundations yet. Funny you didn't know about it.I s'pose 'cause everyone's away in that part of thecountry."

"The devil !" And MacGregor threw off Lang-dale's detaining arm, and rushed through the station,utterly oblivious of Italian women, banana-paintedbabies, umbrellas and bags, forgetful even of his ownopinions on the vulgarity of haste. His one aim wasto get to his lawyer's in the shortest time possible.Barry had cheated him-had stolen his house!

THE TE:CH

He hailed a sleepy cabman and offered him anexorbitant bribe to get to Tremont Street in animpossible space of time. He sank down on thecheap cushions of the cab and felt helplessly in hispocket for a comforting friend. But though hepuffed vigorously at the cigarette the thought stillkept surging through his brain:-he had beencheated- he, MacGregor the invincible! Waittill--

The cabman pulled in his horse with a jerk. Mac-Gregor tumbled out of the cab, threw the man a bill,and, in too much of a hurry for the waiting elevator,dashed up the stairs. To his breathless demand forMr. Marvin, the boy answered uninterestingly: " He'sout, sir; won't be in for two hours."

There was nothing to be gained by kicking theboy downstairs. And young Benedick MacGregorsank into a comfortable chair by the open windowand looked down on the hot street. The Commonwas a mass of motionless green. Above the treesthe dazzling gilt of the State House dome winkedand blazed under the blue vault of the sky. Farbelow him, people lingered on the Long Walk, loathto leave the cool, shadow-flecked path for the whiteglare and the push of the street. The ceaseless roarof the traffic below, muffled by the intervening dis-tance, came to his unheeding ears.

The office was very still. The scrape of the ele-vator or the click of its iron doors now and thenechoed through the hollow halls, or the heels of anoccasional plodder rang out in regular vibrations fromthe stairways. The chance opening of the officedoor brought with it a faint odor of ether- fromthe dentist's rooms across the hall. MacGregordropped his head into his hands and tapped the floorimpatiently with his heels. The hands on the dial ofthe Park Street church were procrastinating mostshamefully, and MacGregor was not enjoying his ownthoughts. They were not flattering to himself. Andhis wife's face kept appearing most inopportunelybefore his eyes. "A woman never loses a chance tosay, ' I told you so,'" he groaned.

When Mr. Marvin came in he glanced at Mac-Gregor with a scarcely-suppressed twinkle; but helistened to his usually self-approving client with animmovable face.

" I suppose you realize, Mr. MacGregor," he saidcalmly when the young man had finished," " that you

can in no way have the law against Mr. Barry forthis ?"

"Can't arrest a man for stealing my own house !"gasped MacGregor.

"No, certainly not. A man can have anotherarrested for stealing his watch, his dog, or even a loafof bread, but he can in no way apprehend him forstealing his house. A house is the property of theperson to whom the land on which it stands belongs.This lot belongs to Mr. Barry and therefore yourhouse also is his. It in no way belongs to you. Mr.Barry, being a lawyer himself, knew this perfectly."

"And I thought he was ' stupid but honest,' damnhim !" muttered MacGregor dejectedly.

Mr. Marvin still stared unperturbably out of thewindow. "Of course I will do everything in myp)ower, Mr. MacGregor," he said. " I may be ableto save your house yet."

"Thanks !" said the subdued reader of characterhumbly.

Mr. MacGregor greeted his wife in a half-heartedway that afternoon. One not knowing them mighthave thought he was afraid of her. But he realizedthat the trial must be gone through. Striding to thewindow he turned his back to his wife and blurtedout: -

" Well, you might as well say ' I told you, so' now.You will when I 've finished, and its always pleasantto get disagreeables over with." And without wait-ing for her reply, he hastened through the story, notsparing himself a single anathema in his wholevocabulary.

Mr. MacGregor's back was towards her and Mrs.MacGregor could not resist the temptation to smile.There is something very gratifying even in a mental"I told you so."

"I knew all about this, Ben," she said quietly."You knew all about-! Then why the -""Listen, please. You were so certain of Mr.

Barry's honesty" (MacGregor winced) "that I didn'tlike to trouble you any further with my own foolishqualms. So when we came away, I wrote to Mr.Marvin and asked him to keep on eye on Mr. Barry,and if anything turned up not to bother you aboutit, but to let me know. He was out west at the timeand was detained, so that he didn't get my letter orhave a chance to act on it until a few weeks ago.When he did he found the house just as it is now

on Barry's lot but not yet connected with the found-ations. Now as long as these connections are notmade, the house is not a part of the property onwhich it stands. Mr. Marvin stopped the workmenat once and informed Mr. Barry that unless he paidfor the house, moved it back to its original place, orleft it in the condition it was, with the connectionsnot yet made, we would bring suit against him. Mr.Barry has been considering; and this morning whenyou found Mr. Marvin out, he was here. He cameto tell me that Mr. Barry will pay for the house."

MacGregor gazed at his wife in unveiled astonish-ment. "By Gad !" he said finally. "And youby Gad! I say, whatever made you so dead sure ofBarry?"

" I always said I did n't like his eyes, Ben." AndMrs. MacGregor's own eyes could not resist thetemptation to dance.

As they went in to dinner that night, Mr. Mac-Gregor gazed solemnly at the table and then at hiswife. "Do you notice any great change?" heasked.

She looked puzzled. He led her to her chair:-

"This is the head of the table, Mrs. MacGregor,"he said, "and," seating himself opposite, " henceforthMacGregor sits at the foot." 'o3.

At a meeting of the Freshman Class heldon last Saturday afternoon it was voted afterconsiderable discussion to 'give sweaters onlyto the foot-ball team this year and not stock-ings or caps in addition as has been thecustom. It was voted to give sweaters tofifteen football men and to the three canespree men, making eighteen sweaters in all,for which the sum of $75 was appropriated.

The Advisory Council is considering thequestion of granting T. A. A's. to winners offirst and second places in the Fall Handicapmeet.

G. H. French, the 'Varsity tackle, whobroke his leg in practice three weeks ago hasreturned to the Institute, but several weekswill elapse before he can dispense withcrutches.

F. C. Hunter, the 'Varsity center, returnedto Tech last week from his home in Pough-Keepsie. His absence was due to illness, ithaving been found necessary to operate uponhim for an abdominal abscess, resulting froma football injury.

There has been some talk among thestudents, especially the baseball players,since the impulse which President Pritchetthas given to Technology athletics, of organ-izing a 'Varsity baseball team. Although thebaseball season is very short to us yet itwould be possible to get out a representativeteam and play several games. We haveenough material for a very good 'Varsity andsecond team. So if the financial part wasassured it would seem that Tech would berepresented on the diamond in a creditablemanner.

Burdett, o.; M. I. T., I7.

Last Wednesday afternoon, by defeatingBurdett College x7 to o, Technology closedthe football season of i900oo with a victory.Although the team was not in the conditionshown earlier in the season, the men againplayed with some of the dash and spirit whichwon the Stevens game, and the great amountof kicking during the second half made thegame intensely interesting.

Burdett won the toss and chose the westgoal, taking advantage of the strong windblowing from that direction. Capt. Maxsonkicked off and Burdett started with severalrushes, which carried the ball back to thecentre of the field. Here Tech braced upand Burdett was forced to punt. Pope andDillon gained their distance several times,but Maxson punted and Colby by a series ofrushes carried the ball to Tech's 30-yardline, where Burdett fumbled and the ball wentto M. I. T. Heckman made several yardsthrough centre and then Pope made the bestplay of the day. Circling right end, he ransixty-five yards for a touchdown. Maxsonkicked the goal. During the remainder ofthe half the ball changed hands on fumblesand punts and although Pope and Dillongained many yards the half ended with theball in Tech's possession on Burdett's thirty-yard line. Score, M. I. T., 6; Burdett, o.In the second half Burdett kicked off toDillon, who ran back fifteen yards. Popegained ten more and Maxson punted to Bur-dett's fifteen-yard line. Burdett tried tworushes, but the runner was each time downedfor a loss. Lewis then tried to punt out ofdanger, but the ball hit the goal posts andbounced back, Maxson dropping on it for atouchdown.

Burdett kicked off to Dillon, who broughtthe ball back to the centre of the field beforebeing downed. Maxson punted to Burdett'sten-yard line, where the ball soon becameTech's, and Dillon carried it over for a touch-

The Hare and Hounds Run from Wvellesleylast Saturday brought out twenty-one men,this being the largest run this year. R. B.Pendergast, '02, and S. T. Worcester, 'o4,were the hares. The trail led southeasttoward Needham for a mile, then north,crossing the B. & A. tracks near WellesleyHills, then west to Wellesley College, whereit crossed Cottage Hill and passed along theshore of Lake Waban in front of CollegeHall. From the college the trail went aroundthe north end of Lake Waban and south toWashington St., near South Natick, andhome along Washington St. The distancewas about eight miles, but owing to the largeamount of scrub oak and swamp on the firstpart of the course the run was the hardest ofthe year and the time the slowest.

The long run home spread out the bunchand six men failed to get in inside the limit.Holcomb, '04, was first with Crocker, '04,second. As it was Crocker's first run hisshowing was unusual.

As THE LOUNGER is enjoying the quiet solace ofhis briar after dinner the thought suddenly strikeshim that it is meet that he should be thankful. AtTech it really does seem a hypothesis contrary tofact, but nevertheless he must forget the drawing hehas been working on, the Applied assignment fornext Monday, and the Heat and bend seance andbe thankful. As Mr. Dooley says, we can be trulythankful that we are not someone else. For instance,are we not all glad that we are not the man whowears a "Tr" about the gym that stands for some-thing like Takeawarmbath Canoe Club? May we notrejoice that we are the proud possessors of enoughclothing as not to be under the painful necessity ofwearing sweaters to the lunch-r6omn ? Does noteveryone of us feel jubilant over the knowledge thathe does n't have to buy another book until afterChristmas? Have we not reached the end of sub-scriptions until the baseball season? Has not Yaledone nobly? Have we not added to the discom-fiture of the crimson by rushing her out of CopleySquare? Some of us can be thankful for the possi-bility of escaping from the boarding house to enjoy agenerous helping from the bird at home, while thoseof us who are too far distant for this may get out ourhatchets and open a box from home, uncoveringsome things with which we have not had even aspeaking acquaintance since' September. Think ofthat and burst into tears.

'ro THE LOUNGER it seems a great pity that a man,who has had so much experience with chorus girls andsoubrettes, as his friend, a reverend senior, should of-fend a dear, unsophisticated two-hundred pounder,(member of the Happy Spi nster Co.) and then beseverely "called down" for doing so. It is not to besupposed that a seltzer lemonade and two high ballscould be the cause of his so far forgetting himself,but according to a friend of the aforementionedsenior, who accompanied him during all his strollsthrough gay New Haven, this is really all he had.Perhaps the pleasure of seeing his own Yale win wastoo much for him or the sight of so many blackenedeyebrows and painted cheeks on the train turned hisbrain. At any rate when a lurch of the car causedone of the fairies, while passing the cold tea, to miss

her footing and land in a man's lap, he could not re-frain from saying, "Back up, back up." Hereuponthe two-hundred pound soubrette, to the amusementof all, excepting Tech's senior, proceeded to givehim her opinion of "who ain't a gentleman." THELOUNC;ER'S friend was too full for utterance; he onlysputtered .when the fair, fat and forty-year-oldAmazon had retreated.

THE LOUNGER would deem it somewhat inconsid-erate to speak on the subject of ,esthetics in a placewhere so many of us poor misguided mortals have somuch to do in the W'alker Building. But it is reallysomewhat startling to watch the experiments whichare being tried with the face of old Rogers. Sometwelve moons ago or so, as THE LOUNGER'S chro-nology runs, the Bursar, that venerable institution,made the first move in this direction by decoratingthe lower windows with Safety Vault Deposit ironbars and'-now with the left side of the building Fateis again dealing harshly. The old plate glass win-dows have been carefully removed and some newwindows substituted, which when once looked uponwill enable one to feel as if in a Physics exam. withouthaving to go through any of the previous symptoms.It would seem if we are to have-such adornments asescalloped, watered-silk glass and wrought iron de-fenses, they might at least be concentrated on theWalker building, thus to be in keeping with theaesthetic surroundings, and to serve some usefulpurpose.

And now comes a period when the editor-in-chiefhangs his shears on the gas-fixture and closes theoffice doors for the space of three days.' As for THELOUNGER, he was awakened from a nightmare ofhip-rafters and that sort of thing, to hear the joyfulnews that it had been proclaimed from the office thatall would be allowed to break their heart-strings bytearing themselves away from work for three days.- Heknew what that meant. He immediately proceededto hunt up in the old volumes of THE TEcH to seewhether or not there were any relatives on the femaleside whom he had not made use of. The result wasdiscouraging; again and again THE LOUNGER read thesame old stratagems anent " coy cousins," "sisters,"-"old friends" even; not a place. was left for him.He is beginning to think it will soon be time for himto be telling about "chats" with nieces and grand-daughters. But the pleasantries which are inevitableat this time, which cause even the professors to relaxand abreviate the recitation hours, will not fall amisswith THE LOUNGER. To get away from the echoes ofRogers corridors and of the shops for three days andto meditate in the country, not in "Applied" and"Organic," will lend somewhat to his appreciation ofthose subjects when he returns. At least he hopesso, for he surely needs it.
