Of course, you would not un— derstand this linguistic juggling of the vernacular. I received a letter yesterday from my sister—Amorphus—who is home» mooning with her husband, H. Brain Storm. They went to New York tol celebrate. The other day they, toured the town. Approaching the‘ Hudson River, a. man called out, ouote—Ferryfi unquote. No, my hubby calls the Angel, replied Amor— phns. Then they toured through the Bronx. “Fish, fresh fish,” a fellow cried. No, we left our poles at home, said H. B. 8. When they arrived back at the hotel, after spending twenty minutes trying to go up a down escalator in a department store, and waiting five minutes for a package of gum to come out of the ticket machine in the subway, hubby received his mail containing this bill concerning the wedding ring (solid tin, chromium plated) : quote Tin» rose is real, the violet. is blue, [his little bill is overdue.

Sally, l am a new man. “School Life In Gulch Valley,” or “You Can Only Die Once,” as con tinued from last week, Orfy Basil» twerf, a student of the arts, a patron of the opera, 2 man with degrees of M.E., PH.D., 8.8., B.A., and P.U., is complaining bitterly to a friend outside of the stable where he works. “Life is terrible. Everytime I let my work go, it keeps piling up. Sud- denly he hears the eight gun shots. Jumping on his horse, and throwing in the clutch, he rides the 15 miles to Jullietta, the fair’s ranch house abode. He hears a scream, then eight more screams. Then a thud, then a groan, then a pattering of voice crys loudly, quote: Swim,r her, feet, next an Indian war whoop. A clip her again, unquote. A woman’s voice hollers again, and again a stomping of feet. Then, all is siA lence. What terrible thing has hap- pened? Dear Sally, I am to afraid to continue. Well, as Euripedes once said~ “Life is like a deck of cards. When you are in love, its hearts. Diamonds when you are engaged. When you’re married, it’s clubs. Spades when you‘re dead and buried.

Three quarters went towards extra—curricular amusement and one- quarter went nobly towards tracing paper. His noble efforts were wasted, for on Tuesday he sold the paper and put the results in the stomach. He has taken up quarters for the present in the Life Class. Wagner, of Beaux-Art fame, has acquired so many enemies that he has been doomed by popular vote to associate with engineers. His consul- tation prize was the Title of Junior Marshal. Sauermann has a leaning towards the engineering fields. His first step in this direction was the acquisition of a slide rule. He won’t say what her name is and after last night, we doubt if he knows (Delt competition was too much). “The only differ- ence between my slide rule and the common run of them,” said Sauer- mann, “is that mine doesn’t offer so much resistance and after one night’s practice, I know what every line means." I’m tired of virtue, I’m tired of sin, . . . etc. Oh well, every man to his diversion. Barber Jakabowski doesn't ap- prcve of the slide rule system of emotional control.
