Many undergraduates whose allow- ances have been curtailed have ceas- ed subscribing to socioties in which they were only midly interested, and many societies, notably those of DEAR KIDDIES,--- a literary nature, have gone under in consequenco.

Unele John was coming to visit them big tanned Uncle John' who had been all over the world, almost, and who always brought such wonderful presents on his yearly visits.

Marvin had begged to be allowed to stay up until Uncle John came, but Mother had said: "Your uncle may not get here until midnight. That's too late for six-year-old boys!

At last Marvin heard the car drive up and stop before the house heard Uncle. John's pleasant deep vaico mingle with those of his father and mother.

Marvin sat up in bed and looked at Dickio who was beside him. Cousin Dickie was asleep. Marvin carefully slipped out of bed and tiptoed down the stairs to where he could see and hear what was going on in the living room.

Uncle John was as big and tanned as ever, and as Marvin crouched on the stairs, snatches of conver sation floated to his ears, "My trunk is delayed; it will be here in a few days,"Marvin hoord. "I have a wonderful present for my favourite nephew. Roal goatskin
