If you hear a Vastar girl asylng this, you may stake your money against any odds that the lime Is sboue tlx o'clock In the evening. Not that Vas sar students are any more partial to evening rain than morning rsln as far aa th rem Itself goes, for" either variety Is likely to spoil their clothes and take the curl out of their hair and make hockey Impossible, and do any number of other disagreeable things. There Is an Important difference. however, that makes rain that ccmes In the late afternoon much more desirable than the earlier kind. Morning rain brings no Immunity from classes; evening rain means no dispell And so msny way aa there are to spend that hour after dinner If It Is free from all restrictions.
