They're hcth 5 feet 6 ice tafl weigh 115 pounds, and, have a 36-inch bust, 33-inch hIps and 23 inch waist.

When thec scout posted at the door o ,vatch fo-r the gucst cf honor called "Here she cornes!" the lights wcre turucd out, aud there was Comparative ilence broku cnly by a few gbgglcs frorn the 'teen-agers. Then, as Ethel stood bu the deor- way, everycue yeîled "Surprise!" on weut the ligbts, and she pub en a fairly couvincingly display cf amaze- meut. We all sat around bu the usual circle, wilb Ethel opeuing bbe gifts and joan reading the accernpanying cards.

As Joan read the card, a burst of incredulous laugbîer rcse Ibhrougisout the room. "'A pearl for every year ef bap piness wisen you wear tisese ou your wedding day.' Why, itlisu't even signed."

Even when the transition is cempleted, English is te remain a comnpulsoýry utniver- slty sub.îcct. The decision refiects the extra- ordinary position which E nglish has corne te hold in lindia. This was net only because il vas the languagi cf the ruling rcand the medium through whichý Western science aud learning reached the country, but because it haýs beceme the ucarest thing te a national Ian- guage India possesses. The EncycloPedia Britaniica es- tiniates that 222 langutages are spoken ln India today. Sonie cf these are mere local dialects, or are peculiar te small isolated tribes, and conversely, thcre are ethers-net- ably the Hinidus>ani cf the Norh- which are spoken ever vast_ areas and previde a cemmen speech fer many millions cf people. But, gen- erally- speaking, each major divi- sion bas ils cwn distinctive langu- age which is net intelligible in ether parts cf the land, and wbich, in many cases, has its ewn peculiar alphaý,bet and script. Te add to theconfusion, tlhe lau- 1guaigeès of Southeru India belong te a cempletely different family front these cf the North; fer a mnan frrn ithe Punjab te learn Tamil, fer example, is as difficult as it would be for a Canadian te learn Japan ese. This naturally makes communic- atlon between tlhe different peoples cf India extremely difficult. As a resull, English bas been used fer many years as a cemmen language, since mest educated Indians, in al parts cf the cousntry can speak and rend it. It -bas beeu the language cf trade and commerce. t is the Ian- guage cf instruction in most univer- sities and higher scbcels, and tbé mediumn*for scientiflc and techuical, literature cf aIl kinds. t is also used very extensively at galberings of people frem different sections cf India.
