_SUBJECT OF THEME:_
An interesting Incident of My Christmas Holadays.
_Introduction:_
"A tyrant's power in rigor is exprest."--DRYDEN.
I HAVE decided to relate with Presision what occurred during my
recent Christmas holaday. Although I was away from this school
only four days, returning unexpectedly the day after Christmas,
a number of Incidents occurred which I believe I should narate.
It is only just and fair that the Upper House, at least,
should know of the injustice of my exile, and that it is all the
result of Circumstances over which I had no controll.
For I make this apeal, and with good reason. Is it any
fault of mine that my sister Leila is 20 months older than I am?
Naturaly, no.
Is it fair also, I ask, that in the best society, a girl is
a Sub-Deb the year before she comes out, and although mature in
mind, and even maturer in many ways than her older sister, the
latter is treated as a young lady, enjoying many privileges,
while the former is treated as a mere child, in spite, as I have
observed, of only 20 months difference? I wish to place myself
on record that it is _not_ fair.
