By-Law No. 2.

The members of the S. S. U. C. pledge themselves to inviolable secrecy about all Society proceedings.

By-Law No. 3.

The members of the S. S. U. C. will bring their Saturday corn-balls to swell the common entertainment.

By-Law No. 4.

Members having boxes from home are at liberty to contribute such part of the contents as they please to the afore-mentioned common entertainment.

Here the By-Laws ended. There was much laughter over them, especially over the last.

"Why did you put that in, Rosy?" asked Ellen Gray: "it strikes me as hardly necessary."

"Oh," replied Rose, "I put that in to encourage Silvery Mary there. She's expecting a box soon, and I knew that she would pine to give the Society a share, but would be too timid to propose it; so I thought I would just pave the way."

"How truly kind!" laughed Clover.

"Now," said the President, "the entertainment of the meeting will begin by the reading of 'Trailing Arbutus,' a poem by C. E. C."
