By Their Speech Shall Ye Know Them

It has always been our aim to present the lives and loves of our classmates
in the modern mode, and under the circumstances, and in the light of the fact
that we have been joyously informed that there has never been a class quite
like us before, and, if the gods are kind, there never will be again, we feel
that our class history cannot be written in the manner of class histories in the
dim, dark past. We are therefore attempting to present it through a review
of the clichés which have been on every talented and brilliant tongue during
our four years of preparation for the life to come. It all started when the lady
of social repute gave a dinner and during the preliminaries announced that she
had intended to have caviar canapes and then decided not to. Everyone
raised their voices and shouted as one person “cliché”, and that is how it all
originated. We have been raising our voices and shouting more or less the
same things for many years and through them it is our belief that our careers
can be most accurately sketched.

I haven’t taken my S. A. girl out

to tea yet. Do you suppose she'd
notice if I didn’t?
Do you think the Prince and

Princess of Japan actually no-
ticed the cherry tree?

It’s all very well not having a
mid-year, but think of the final.
What’s this I hear about no re-
quired science?

I haven’t been here one week-
end all fall.

Can you bear it? Dr. Wagoner
asked me if I was happy.

Just tell her you feel faint—she’ll
give you an excuse.

Minor History is the toughest
course in college.

Do you suppose tar soap will
take the dog fish off?

Would you believe it? I intend-
ed to be an English major.
Who’s writing Freshman Show?
We might as well call the whole
thing off—Mrs. Manning has
ruled half the class out.

She’s supposed to be swell—had
some sort of a job in the theatre
somewhere once.

Better keep it clean—Miss Park
reads it.

Last year’s Freshman Show was
the best there’s ever been.

Did you ever see such a collec-
tion of legs?

If this is dress rehearsal the per-
formance ought to be swell.
Don’t try to sing it—just sort of
talk the words.

It would be swell fun to sneak a

Do you suppose she’d be sure to

recognize P. G. Wodehouse’s

Culkin Banning’s—she’s too low-
brow for the English department.

Who’d want to stay here for
graduation anyway?
It'll be great to be a Sophomore

and not have to answer the
phone.
You'll have to visit us in the

country—you’d love it.

 

SOPHOMORE YEAR

Never saw such a lousy bunch of
Freshmen.

It certainly is a relief not to have
to jump every time the phone

rings.

Freshman! Telephone!

Pretty degrading I call it. Be-
ing quarantined for _ infantile

paralysis.
Maybe they will send us all home.

6. Maybe they won't.

7. Wouldn’t Dr. Wagoner
have to call it acute anter-
ior poliomelitis ?

8. Sign out to Philly and then
go to Princeton.

9. Well, someone has got to
teach these Freshmen some
manners.

10. It’s all very well not hav-
ing traditions, but there are
some things a Freshman
simply can’t be allowed to
get away with.

If she waits for me to tip her cap
she’ll wait a long time.

Oh, let the Freshmen keep their

Hear they aren’t going to have

Big May Day—depression I
guess. a
The whole thing’s a_ publicity
gag.

It’s a mistake to make an under-
classman the May Queen. ‘They
never get over it.

She’s not buxom enough.

I think she’s more the ideal peas-
ant type.

I don’t see how they get it all put
together.

How do you make the petals stick
with the stem?

What a rose!

To think the English did this for
fun!
Skip, you fool!

I don’t know either—watch the
person ahead of you.

We absolutely cannot put this
thing over without the coopera-
tion of every single one of you.
Mrs. Collins is frantic.

I hear Mr. King has had a ner-
vous breakdown.
What a farce!
England!

I hear she has never been on a
horse in her life.

I can’t help it—the stones hurt
my feet.

‘There just isn’t anything a Bryn
Mawr girl can’t do, is there?

I crown thee Queen of the May.

Can you imagine Mrs. Collins if
it does?

You should see the Mask of the
Flowers. No, they just dance.
This seven o’clock stuff is the ab-
solute end.

Have you seen the cute little man
who drives the oxen? He’s en-
gaged to some Senior.

Just what is the emotional status
of oxen? Do you know?

They just tumble-roll around, you
know.

I simply cannot jeopardize my in-
ternational professional reputa-
tion by letting you go on as
trained by me personally.

Open your mouth when you talk
—you’re not indoors.
Louder! Louder still!
Can’t hear you yet!
You’ve got to keep up the tempo
or the whole thing will fall flat.
Dancers! Where the hell are the
dancers?

This May Day stuff is fine, but
the professors keep forgetting it.
Thought they were going to cut
the work.

She’s going to Princeton house-
parties, too—I’ll bet she’s fried on
Saturday.

Happy May Day!

I feel as though I had been
through the Great War.

I’m going to sleep for a week.

I was a swell folk dancer, but
it’s the woman who always pays.
That’s all very well, but you'll
never persuade me the Earl of

Pembroke was the Dark Lady of
the Sonnets.

The machinery of the govern-
ment of this country is just like a
model T Ford.

Oh, you know enough about the
facts of life to pass.

She ought to know—she’s
enough experience.

he’s a swell dancer.

Well, after all, Haverford is
pretty impossible.
Are you hanging around for

Garden Party?

My Senior would have to ask all
of Philadelphia.
What were you in May Day?

Oh, why did he shave his beard
off, not once but twice?

Have you heard about Miss Rob-
bins and Dr. Herben?

This infantile business is getting
to be a racket.

I refuse to give up Thanksgiving
vacation—I’ve got a date for the
Harvard game and I’m going—
that’s all there is to it.

Who cares when we get out in
the summer—Princeton doesn’t
graduate ’til the middle of June.
He’s Theodore’s greatnephew, I
think.

I’m not twenty-one until Decem-
ber, wouldn’t that burn you up?
Well, what makes you so sure he
isn’t a Tammany man?

That Socialist rally in front of
the Lib ought to be worth taking
in—remember “Hell in Harlan”?
I don’t care who gets elected as
long as we get Repeal.

Have you seen Gilbertson yet?

Fenny says inflation is the only
solution.

Well, look what it did for the
German mark—and they couldn't
stop it during the French Revo-
lution.

If I don’t want to read the News
I don’t see why I should have to
pay for it.

How about the rights of man?

It’s the organ of the college and
as such should have the support
of every undergraduate. If you
want a News you have to sup-
port it.

What’s all this stuff about having
to dress for dinner?

Never heard of such nonsense—
the next thing you know they’ll
want us to turn out in evening
clothes.

“Night and day, why is it so?”

Did Kate Hepburn ever gradu-
ate?

She’s pretty stupid to deny she
ever went here—just a publicity
stunt.

So you Bryn Mawr girls never
wash your faces or clean your
finger nails?

All you have to do is say some-
thing nasty about Bryn Mawr
and the Philly papers jump on it!
You can’t get a cent out of the
banks—they’ve shut them up.
How am I going to get to Prince-
ton?

See if Sandy will cash a check
for you.

This is the end—half the people
I know are going to Majorca to
live—it’s plenty cheap they say.
I think Sackville-West is incon-
sequential—imagine combining
Virginia Woolf and D. H. Law-
rence.

Never saw anything so funny as
those cute little men dragging
hose all over the power house
roof.

Id like to be a fireman.

If you test positive they send you
home.
Half the college has scarlet fever.

If there are five cases it’s an epi-
demic and we can all go home?
If you scratch it with a nail
brush it looks positive.

I’m going home.

They have locked them all up in
Wyndham—what a lousy trick!
Shall I take Honors next year?

You should see Merion—the
chimney blew down and tore the
whole roof off.

A visitation of the Lord’s wrath,
I calls it.

It’s an awful shame about the
campus.

Blows down half the campus and
not one of those damned bushes
lost a twig.

You could sneak out and put salt
at the roots and they’d die.
Might get the unemployed to dig
them up.

The Bush Woman has been at it
again.

It’s a real experience to work
under Stokowski—he’s a great di-
rector—I don’t think there’s any
doubt about that.

I haven’t read a word of French
for months.

It’s a swell trick, this making
you wait ’til you’ve forgotten all
the French you ever knew.

I’m certainly glad that I took the
thing last fall.

The trouble with the History de-
partment is that comprehensive—
you can’t bluff on the thing either.
The people I pity are the English
majors.

They can’t make anything out of
Merion unless they put some bath-
rooms in the place.

That “duty to your college’ is an
old gag—I heard that in prep
school.

Live in Merion—not on your life.

Well, more power to them, but
they'll get over being generous
before long next year.

This place gets more like a prep
school every day.

I’m going to do a lot of the read-
ing during the summer.

I only have four classes next
year.

What’s the easiest science?

We’re going to miss them next
year.

God! I’m going to have to do
some work next year.

I’m not going to take any week-
ends—all the lads I know gradu-

That gag about going to bed
early so you will be able to or-
ganize is all right if you know
anything to organize—but I don’t.
The only way to pass exams is
to learn to spot the questions.
Personally I prefer Schopen-
hauer’s outlook.

Who’s afraid of the big, bad
wolf?

A fat chance I’ve of graduating.
Well, they have to graduate
someone or the state will take
away their charter.

Mrs. Dean really knows her
stuff,

You know I never realized it

quite before, but the present in-
ternational situation is no joke.
The chief reason I took honors
was to get unlimited cuts—but I
think I’d rather go to classes.
You know I'd rather like to work
if I ever had time.

Have you ever tried studying in

Recollected in Tranquillity

It was many, many, many years ago

That I thought up this Bryn Mawr Big May Day show,
I looked out on the campus,
I said, ‘“These surroundings stamp us

As Old English of four centuries ago.”

I got together Brady, Grant and Petts,
I bellowed, “Take your places in your sets,
What though you look askance
You are going to learn this dance.”
Then they curtseyed low and meekly whispered, “Let’s.”

IT had a May-Queen party in the Gymn.,
I invited every pretty girl and slim;
I walked them round in nighties

While a little bunch of brighties
Awaited my decision, looking grim.

I wound ropes and ropes and ropes of paper flowers,
I climbed up to plant the flags on Pembroke towers;
When Merion Green wore out,
With my six gardeners stout,
I made the daisies grow in just two hours.

I chased the Oxen round the Wyndham block,

I held them while the driver donned his smock,
And not content with that
I made posies for his hat,

Then he kissed me, for he came of Southern stock.

It was I who packed Queen Bess into her litter,
It took me all my time to make it fit ’er;

I told her when to bow
And what to do and how,

For in those robes she was an awkward critter.

I showed the Dragon how to hold his tail,

I wrought George of Merrie England’s coat of mail;
The lines of Quince and Bottom
I and Sammy Arthur taught ’em,

My method has been never known to fail.

 

20

I grieved to see the students grow-
ing thinner,
I arranged for them a more sub-
stantial dinner;
I promised each Professor
If he made assignments lesser
I would see that his court-costume
was a winner.

I directed Mrs. Collins in Public-
ty,
We worked out every detail most
explicitly ;
I posted police pickets,
I raised the price of tickets
And chairmanned all committees
with felicity.

You say it must have been a dread-
ful strain?
O no, I’d do it gladly all again,
For there’s nothing much to plan-
ning
Except soothing Mrs. Manning,
When she has a spell of thinking it
will rain.

The Dramatic Diary of Pepys’ Ghost

(With apologies to S. P., in corpore relicto)

 

February 14, 1931. To the Nursery,
where I did see a strange, fantastical
piece called THE ROAD TO MARS,
neither great nor serious, and indeed
but a slight thing, writ by one Coxe, a
new aspirant to the ranks of our
dramatists. Yet the music and danc-
ing, for which I do hear one Cornish
is responsible, very fine. I did laugh
mightily at the pleasant simplicities of
Jones, Schwab, Church and Gerhard,
and indeed the first of these promises
much. Righter and Culbertson, who
did sing the chief songs, performed
very well. Nichols and Polachek also
in good singing roles. The dresses
all very strange and new.

May 12, 1931. Again to the Nur-
sery, to see three one-act plays, writ

by Grant, Duany and Coxe. Much
mirth at one Smith, who did play a

clownish part—a _ great absurdity
which they did call a Boy Scout.
Boyd, Carpenter, Gateson, Jarrett,

Butler and Nichols all acted with
great sincerity. An odd mixture of
plays; but went home well pleased.

 

23

April 25, 1931. To the Duke’s, to
see ENCHANTED APRIL, very well
done. Chiefly interested to see Grant,
but newly come up from the Nursery,
well suited to the role, which she did
perform very adequately.

 

November 21, 1931. To the King’s
Playhouse, where I did see BERK-
ELEY SQUARE monstrously well
done. The scene mightily splendid,
and the dresses the true garbe of the
days of Queen Anne. Afterwards,
went behind the scenes, and spoke with
Gateson, Meneely and Coxe, who had
acted small roles therein.

February 5, 1932. To White Hall,
to see a French piece, entitled
KNOCK, excellently well done, and a
vastly amusing farce. Very good
mirth at Jarrett, who enacted the main
role with great spirit.

HELENA’S which
pleased me infinitely. The dresses
very fine; much pleased with the wigs,
all of wool, a new and strange device.
Stevenson as the Ethiopian slave vast-

HUSBAND,

ly diverting. Grant, as Helena,
seemed a mighty pretty creature.
Hart, who played Paris, a gallant,

hath the motions and carriage of a
spark the most that ever I saw.

November 17, 1932. To the Red
Bull, and there did see SAINT’S
DAY, which they do say was to have
been called THE SAINT’S MIS-
TRESS, but that Her Majesty liked
not that title, and indeed the play is

 

24

as full of bawdy as a single act could
well be, but diverting enough for all
that. Many young players not long
up from the Nursery did play very

well, among them Jones, Schwab,
Hannan, Nelson and Coxe.
December 10, 1932. Yo the Cock-

pit, to se THE ROYAL FAMILY, a
play about the people of the stage—
vastly amusing to such as do have
some acquaintance with the Theatres.
Daniels and Trowbridge excellent in
small parts.

March 17, 1933. Yo the Court,
where we were very merry over LE
BOURGEOIS GENTILHOMME, in
French, an old play, but which tikes
me better every time I see it. Jarrett
gives us fresh reason never to think
enough of her, for none can out-do her
in these Gallic roles. Fouilhoux also
mighty pleasing.

March 20, 1933. In Covent Gar-
den tonight, and stopped at the great
Coffee House there, under the man-
agement of Greeks. There, I per-
ceive, is very witty and pleasant dis-
course, for the playwrights and all the
wits of the town were gathered to
felicitate Nelson and Hannan on the
success of their new plays. Met many

of these writers for our stage, includ-
ing Daniels, Nichols, Schwab, Steven-
son and Coxe, and was delighted to
also among them,

find Jones

who,

 
 

they tell me, is like to be great in both
acting and writing of Comedies, as
was Betterton in Tragedy.

April 22, 1933. To Blackfryers (in
spite of my vow, I find I cannot keep
long from the Theatres), to see LADY
WINDERMERE’S FAN, an excellent
play, and acted to my great content.
Fouilhoux, whom I have not seen this
long time, played Lady Jedburgh.

April 23, 1933. To Moorfields, to
see THE DELUGE, a very ancient
piece, and exceeding comical, acted

another who began in the Nursery,
but has since been seen on our better
stages, also acted therein, and excel-
lently well, too.

December 9, 1933. To Salisbury
Court, and there saw THE KNIGHT
OF THE BURNING PESTLE acted
solely by females. The clothes very
fine, ‘of the fashion of King James’
time. Many players that I knew well
in humorous parts; Fouilhoux as Mas-
ter Merrythought; Nelson excellent as
an ogre, terrifying to behold; Steven-
son as a dwarf, at which excellent
mirth. Two newcomers from. the
Nursery—Gribbel in the Host’s part,

 

in the open air, on platforms. Many
new players, trained up in the Nur-
sery, which for the past four years
has produced a vast number of our
best Thespians. Among these, Par-
sons and Mackenzie especially fine;
also Daniels and Parnell. Nichols,

 

29

and Boyd as a spectator; also Par-

sons once more (as a gallant). Mis-
tress Righter did play the Knight
with great spirit and sincere feeling
for comedy. But, as I said, two hun-
dred and fifty years ago, when in the
flesh, “indeed the play itself should be
wn KE

damned for dullness, for it is the-most
insipid, ridiculous play that ever I

saw in my life, and pleased me not at
all.”

February 12, 1934. This afternoon
Jones did take me behind the scenes
at the King’s Playhouse, to see the
company rehearsing, and the tire-
women making the dresses; and to in-
struct me a little in the making of
scenes, whereof I have ever had a
great curiosity. There I did meet the
directors (among whom, indeed, Jones
also is one of the best): Barber,
Schwab (who is also the Manager of

the company), and Coxe. Among
those chiefly responsible for the mak-
ing of dresses and scenes are Barber,
Coxe, Duany, Goldwasser, Lee and
Robinson. Among their chief assist-
ants are Bishop, Bowie, Butler, Car-
ter, Coleman, Fox, Fraser, Jarrett, F.
F. Jones, Landreth, Laudenberger,
Mackenzie, McCormick, Meneely,
Miles, H. J. Mitchell, Nelson, Nichols,

Pleasanton, B. E. Smith (no relation
to E. E. Smith, hitherto mentioned,
and who is also concerned in these
technical matters of the Theatre), and
De Varon.

Music from a Mute

(With apologies to Halifax)

Our Mute was discovered by Mr.
Willoughby in the Music Room on a
memorable Friday afternoon in Sep-
tember, 1930. Our Mute, be it under-
stood, is by no means incapable, but
rather over-prolific of the spoken
word. When, however, it is demand-
ed of her that she sing, a certain
buoyancy deserts her vocal system,
and a tongue, famous in the family
for the soprano pitch to which its
screams can rise, when offered musi-
cal accompaniment, dwells with re-

current and hopeless persistence on
the dull tone of Middle C.

ae

Our Mute retired from the en-
counter in no way discomposed, for
her muteness, while a surprise to Mr.
Willoughby, was an old story to her-
self. She found, during the weeks
that followed, a pleasant satisfaction in
the contemplation of her fellow-class-
mates as they memorized the words
of “Sophias,” walking of an evening
to the Greeks, or antiphonally voiced
Hellenic melodies in the nightly tub.

When the great Friday arrived, she
tiptoed in the Cloisters as decorously
as any other black-robed virgin, se-
cure in her ensconcement between two
resonant sopranos. No one of the un-
witting audience guessed that a drone
was in the hive, nor did her unsus-
pecting Sophomore deliver up a lan-
tern less readily to this goose among

 

 

27

 

the swans, who had not earned her
hire. ‘

Our Mute has always patronized
the College Choir in its less soulful
efforts. For her all music is bound
up in the classic canon of Gilbert
and Sullivan. As a freshman, she
giggled and sighed her sympathy with
the three little maids from school, when
Polachek played Pitti Sing in the
Mikado; as a junior, she fell indis-
criminately and desperately in love
with the Heavy Dragoons. Now, in
her senior senility, as she sits dozing
in an early morning class, a mist rises
before her eyes, through which she
dimly sees again Righter across the
aisle as the Idyllic Poet, or Culbert-
son as the enchanting dairymaid, Pa-
tience. Her admiration of the music-
leaders, Bertolet, Meneely, and their
crew, has induced her to be constantly
associated with them, in a brave new
world where she may sing vicariously
when so moved. They, however, still
deplore her unblushing lack of taste,
when she declares herself reluctant to
curtail the weekly sea-food lunch for
the charms of Stokowski and his di-
vine musicians on a Friday afternoon.
Indeed, her appearance at Parzival
in the orchestra stalls last Easter puz-
zled the whole college, until, on being
questioned, she admitted she was
motivated by the meanest curiosity, to
observe how her pink party dress
looked on her roommate in the Maid-
ens’ Chorus.
On only one occasion has Our Mute
felt. definitely her mistake in being
born without the gift of song. The
story is a sad one. In the guerilla
warfare between the Sophomores and
Freshmen over the Animal of 1935,
Our Mute throughout the week played
a distinguished part. She did not
balk at sitting up all night to listen
for odd sounds of hostile action; she
rose at six on Saturday to patrol the
Goodhart walk. At six o’clock that
evening, as the show was being cos-
tumed, she strolled behind the build-
ing to take a breath of air. Sounds
floated toward her on the balmy sun-
set breeze. She crept over to a light-

 

ed window, and, looking in, beheld a
cluster of singing freshmen rehears-
ing loudly with last-minute abandon
the precious animal song. Conceive
her excitement as she drank in words
and tune. Alas! conceive her horror,
when she realized as all was over
that, however she might reproduce
the words, the tune had fallen on
such barren ground as to be forever
lost. In an agony of insufficiency,
she forthwith fled the spot, never
breathing to her classmates how near
the victory had been. Her secret is
her own until her death: then she
knows there will be found the image
of the Phoenix engraven on her heart.

Alice was beginning to get very
tired of her Geology notes. ‘What is
the good of a Senior taking Geology ?”’
she asked of the left whisker of Jim-
my Rhodes, that bristled in its gray
paint above her desk, “J don’t care if
I’m walking on—”

“Ouch!” said a Voice from the ink-
bottle, “you’ve jabbed your beastly
pen-point under my left scapula!”’

“T never took Biology,” replied
Alice, pulling her pen out of the ink
with great care; there, squirming on
the end of it, was a small black Devil.
Alice gently pulled her pen-point out
of his shoulder-blade.

“Thank you,” said he, giving him-
self a shake that spattered Alice’s
Geology notes with ink. Then, with
a twist of his six-inch tail, and paus-
ing just long enough to see that the
curl in it was properly graceful, he
jumped off the desk and would have

Lib
moment, if Alice had not caught him
by the right foot.

“Just a moment, please,” said Alice,
“who are you, and why are you in
such a hurry?”

“Printersdevillanternnewsdontst op-

been out of the in another

me,” he answered all in one breath,
and wriggling free, disappeared down
 

the steps, tripping over “Silence” as
he went.
“This sounds like something new,”

thought Alice, as she hurried after
him. She caught up with him just as
he was disappearing through a win-
dow of the large barn on Lower
Campus. Alice just managed to
squeeze after him, and landed in a
heap, coughing furiously, for the lit-
tle stall was so full of smoke she
thought all the hay in the barn must
have caught fire.

“Have a cigarette,’ said a Voice.
Alice peered through the haze, and
saw the person who had spoken—no
less than her old friend the March
Hare.

“T don’t see any cigarettes.’ said
Alice, looking sadly at the pile of
smouldering butts in the ash-tray,
from which all the smoke was coming.

“There aren’t any,’ said the March
Hare. ‘Go on, Duchess.”

Alice was about to be angry, but
her rage at the March Hare’s rude-
ness gave way to amazement as the
other figures in the room appeared
through the smoke. At the table, with
a pile of manuscripts in her lap, sat
the Duchess, the Frog Footman at her
feet. The White Queen was perched
on the window-sill, staring pensively
at her finger-nails. The Red Queen was
sitting on the table, looking aggriey-
edly at the Mock Turtle, who was
clicking his knitting-needles too loud-
ly. The Mad Hatter and the March
Hare sat on the sofa, with the Dor-
mouse dozing between them.

“Need we go on with this?” said
the Duchess, glaring at Alice.

 

 

 

30

“Go on with what?” Alice asked.

“The Soul-Portrait of the Amphi-
oxus,” the White Queen explained
wearily. “TZ think it’s very—soulful.”

“You would!” snapped the Mad
Hatter. “J, for one, think it’s guite—”

“Quite what?’ asked the Mock Tur-
tle, as the Hatter paused.

“Stark!” bellowed the Hatter. “One
must think carefully before one speaks
on such debatable issues.”

“Oh,” said the Mock Turtle weakly.

“Of course, of course; just what I
Was going to remark myself,’ mut-
tered the Dormouse, as the March
Hare poked him in the ribs to wake
him up.

“The question is, how is it going to
get in?” said the Red Queen. “Are
we to bar things on the ground of
incomprehensibility ?”

“The question is, zs it to get in at
all?” answered the Frog Footman,
who never deigned to take his eyes
off the ceiling. Alice thought him
rather haughty.

“It’s only incomprehensible because
you don’t know how to read it,” said
the March Hare, looking at the Duch-
ess with contempt.

“Then why don’t you read it your-
self?” As the Duchess spoke, the

paper that had been in her hand flew

through the smoke, and hit the March
Hare in the eye.

“Because you won’t let him,” the
Mad Hatter half rose from the sofa—

 

 
 

“Off with their heads!” bellowed a
familiar voice from somewhere near-
by.

“Oh, dear, oh, dear,” cried the
Dormouse, waking up with a start.
“She’s looking for me again. I must
go,’ and he scuttled out of the door
at the end of the stall.

“News!” shouted the  Printer’s
Devil, as he ran after the Dormouse.
“Come along.”

“The Queen of Hearts is no news
to me,” thought Alice, as she followed
the Dormouse into the next box-stall
of the barn. There, sure enough, was
the Queen, standing at the top of a
long table, on which lay a row of
heads—President Park’s and Dean
Manning’s prominent among them—
cut off at her orders from the bodies
of newspaper columns that now
sprawled helpless and headless under
her great hand. The Knave of Hearts
trembled before her. “Off they’ll
come, every one of them,” she shouted,
snapping a large pair of shears under
the Knave’s nose, “and yours will be
the next one, if you can’t bring me
something better than these.”

“Give us your evidence,” the Queen
shrieked, turning on the Duchess’
Cook, who was stirring the paste-pot
at the other end of the table.

“Shan’t!” said the Cook, and lifted
the paste-pot menacingly.

“She was to have covered it,” said
the King, frowning at the Cook till
his black hair bristled behind his ears.

“My notion was that you had been

An obstacle that came between
Him, and ourselves, and it,”

 

31

muttered a sleepy voice from under
the table.

“Talking in his sleep again,” said
the King severely.

“Collar that Dormouse,”’ the Queen
shrieked out. “Suppress him! Pinch
him! Off with his whiskers!” But
the Dormouse fled, and the Printer’s
Devil only fished a piece of paper
from under the table. “That proves
his guilt,” said the Queen, when she
saw it.

“Might be an important piece of
evidence,” suggested the Knave.

“Never!” said the Queen furiously.
“Off with his head!” But before any-
one could move, the Knave had fol-
lowed the Dormouse. Meanwhile the
Cook had seized the paper. “We'll
put it in—well peppered,” she said
grimly.

“Our customers said there was too
much pepper in the last,’ the King
cut in quickly.

“Tl abdicate if they don’t like it!”
shouted the Queen. “Off with their
heads!” and she brandished the shears
so fiercely that the King trembled and
the Cook stopped stirring the paste-
pot.

“My dear,” the King began gently,
but he was interrupted by the loud
ringing of a bell.

“Ye gods! my Geology notes
cried Alice, as she fled off to the Lib.,
of course arriving just after the doors
had been locked for the night.

The Troubles of Tuppy

Trouble began for Tuppy the first
week of freshman year, when she ex-
pressed to Doctor Wagoner a desire to
take both Body Mechanics and Hy-
giene immediately. Doc. Wag. could
not conceive that her motive was a
zealous one: it seemed to her to sig-
nify a childish eagerness to gulp down
all the medicine at once instead of
dutifully accepting it according to the
prescribed doses. Petts touched the
matter off by declaring that if Miss
Tuppy learned to contract her ilio-
psoas, thrust her chest forward and
her stomach back, and swing her hips
in counter-clockwise revolutions, in the
next few months, she would have
enough to think about without inves-
tigating the insides of her body until
sophomore year. To this Tuppy meek-
ly answered that she saw the error of
her ways; but from that day forth she
was for the Gym Department a
woman with a past.

Tuppy played hockey as second team
substitute her freshman year. In win-
ter she played swimming, until she
left the class by request after having
pulled Miss Brady overboard in the
execution of her first back-dive. The
day before she was compelled to give
up swimming, Tuppy had had her hair
cut, for it had taken her some time to
realize how inconvenient it was to be
oozing chlorine water on her German
notes all through her twelve o’clock
class. Tuppy joined beginners’ tennis
in the spring, lost her three new balls
in the wilderness behind the back-
board the first day she practiced, and
failed to turn up again for the re-
mainder of the season.

uw

 

nN

During sophomore year, Tuppy’s
interest in organized athletics waned.
Occasionally she went down to hockey
when the afternoon was fine, or chap-
eroned a freshman swimming party in
a borrowed “B. M. C.”; but her main
energies she was consciously reserving
for the systematic strain which her
prep school memories forewarned her
would result from early morning
country dancing on the green. The
Monday after Big May Day, Tuppy
found herself with an awkward case
of poison ivy in the Inf., on account
of which she said she would demand
compensation from the college, for
omitting to take thought for the rank
weeds of the field, on which they
forced their “merrie schollers” to sit
down when not performing.

Tuppy spent her junior year trying
to catch up with athletic credits, which
eluded her inexplicably. By some
freak she was elected captain of class
hockey, but was never able to collect
more than two-elevenths of a team, of
which one-eleventh was her best
friend who had never played before.
In winter, she betook herself to pas-
tures new where she might amble
round with a lacrosse stick, thinking
early practices were just the thing to
wake her up for arguing with the
freshmen in her nine o’clock Philos.
class. Had not a sudden cold turn in
the weather and the acute indisposi-
tion of her sixty-cent alarm clock
providentially frustrated her lacrosse
career, Tuppy would undoubtedly
have broken every window-breaking
record in the heavier-ball class.
 

Tuppy’s troubles reached their
climax in her senior year, when her
joie de vivre threatened to be seri-
ously affected, if she could not find a
sport which her interest would induce
her to pursue with the minimum of
inattention. She was still “required”,
when she signed up on the dotted line
for Sunbaths and Fencing. ‘The for-
mer Tuppy passed triumphantly, and
took heart of grace. In the latter, she
began well by purchasing the full
equipment, which she paraded in the
Library on lesson-evenings, vindicat-
ing to her friends the fashionable Mae
West bust. From her introductory les-
son, the romance of fencing captivated
Tuppy. “It is not a sport,’ said she,
“it is am art: life is short and art is

 

long, but if I can become good enough
to beat Herolzheimer in the Junior
Meet, that is all that matters. Tuppy
fortunately lost to Herolzheimer, and
continued to attend her lessons until
the last week of the year, when she
broke off an assaut with Monsieur
Fiems precipitantly, on discovering
her French unequal to the simple Eng-
lish sentiment: The tape of my tights
has burst.

On Garden Party afternoon, Miss
Petts remarked to Tuppy that her rec-
ords did not show that she had passed
the Freshman Swimming Test. Tuppy
promised faithfully to take it next day
at nine. On Commencement morning,
she remembered she had not gone
down to take her test, and a frantic
Tuppy fled to Yarrow to rout out Miss
Petts and drag her to the Gym. At
10.45, Ttuppy was endeavoring to stop
floating and sink for the second time.
At 10.55, Tuppy was being dressed by
the united efforts of Petts, Brady and
the woman in the basement. At
eleven, she slipped into the academic
procession as it entered Goodhart,
with a black cap crowning her lank,
streaming hair and the white dress
under her gown clinging damply to
her body. At precisely twelve o’clock,
Tuppy was being called to the plat-
form to receive the European Fellow-
ship. Her steps made a_ strange
squelching sound in the hushed audi-
torium. A gasping class observed her
pink legs rising out of rubber shoes, as
the black, decorous upper part of
Tuppy shook hands gravely with Miss
Park.

react exactly, after the same manner
in which the soul and body do upon
each other: Yet doubtless there is a
communication between them of some
kind; and my opinion rather is, that
there is something in it more of the
manner of electrified bodies—and that
—by means of the heated parts of the
rider, which come immediately into
contact with the back of the HOBBY-
HORSE—by long journeys and much
friction, it so happens, that the body
of the rider is at length filled as full
of HOBBY-HORSICAL matter as it
can hold—so that if you are able to
give but a clear description of the
nature of the one, you may form a
pretty exact notion of the genius and
character of the other.

One evening I sat writing in my
study—you, kind reader, who have
looked with favor—or lack of it—on
my Life and Opinions, know that I am
on occasion given to do so. But, in-
deed, for some time—perhaps half an
hour, perhaps less, perhaps more—
who knows?—I had written not a line
—for I was listening to my Uncle
Toby. You who know my Uncle Toby
will already have guessed—and right-
ly, too—that he was whistling Lilla-
bullero upstairs.

My door opened softly—since my
birth, Walter Shandy had once re-
membered to have the hinges adjust-
ed—and in came a parson. No,
Eugenius, it was not Yorick—alas,

poor Yorick!—but the shade of Doc-
tor S. I rose at once, and bade him be
seated, but he shook his head—perhaps
I should say, the ghost of his head—
and said—before I could ask him
whence he came, had I ever had any
such intention:
“T have come to take you with me
to the Land of the Houyhnhnms.”
“Indeed,” I began, but he went on:
“T must freely confess that the many
virtues of these excellent quadrupeds
placed in opposite view to human cor-
ruptions, had so far opened my eyes
and enlarged my understanding, that
I began to view the actions and pas-
sions of man in a very different light,
and to think the honor of my own
kind not worth managing. But all
that is changed since the spirit of your
Life and Opinions came among that
excellent people, for now they have re-
jected serious pursuits to become mere
HOBBY-HORSES. You have snatched
away the peace of my shade, and un-
less you restore it I shall give you no
rest in this world or the next. Come!”
He waved his hand. The walls of
Shandy-Hall—where, with the help of
the midwife and the interference of
Dr. Slop, I had come into this world,
and whence I had hoped to go to join
poor Yorick—dear departed friend,
when shall I see thee more ?—the mad
Shandean walls faded before my eyes.
The next instant I found myself, with
Doctor S. at my side, in a large
meadow, with a great grey stone barn
beside it. ‘Look,’ said my companion,
stretching a bony finger toward the
right, where I saw tennis courts, a
golf links, and a lake, with sailboats
and a rowboat—from the latter fishing
lines stretched in all directions, held
by two large percherons.. Two more’

1Fortunately, owing to the recent discovery
of certain autobiographical confessions,
in manuscript (known to the learned
world as B. M. C. Year Book Ques-
tionnaire (..34), the Editor is now
enabled to give the initials of those
Yahoos into whose possession these un-
fortunate Houyhnhnms had fallen, on
becoming HOBBY-HORSES. The
owners of the percherons were C. B.

were lying blissfully on their side in
the sun-warmed shallows. A couple
of roan fillies were playing tennis,”
with rackets strapped to their right
fore-hocks.

“There is worse to come,” said the
shade of Doctor S. As I followed him
toward the barn, a golf-ball flew past
my right ear, followed by a neigh of
“Fore—nnrff!” and a young bay mare
cantered past with a mashee in her
teeth.

Just outside the barn, we found nine
Houyhnhnms’ standing by the fence of
a miniature paddock, gazing with
rapt attention at a collection of toy
animals, guarded by a regiment of
tin soldiers—how my Uncle ‘Toby
would have relished those diminutive
militarists—inside the enclosure.

“See,” said my companion, “this no-
ble race, that once scorned all others,
now looks with admiration on the in-
significant images of the beasts of the
earth—even on the most despicable

form of man, the lowest of the
Yahoos!”

As we entered the great barn, we
heard a confusion of musical sounds,
that made me long to be listening
peacefully to Lillibullero. Looking
into a stall at my left, I saw two
young Houyhnhnms playing a duet
on a piano;° two more listened ecstat-
ically to a victrola;’ in the center of
the room a white® and a chestnut?

lions; in a corner, a jet stallion with

“Cab Calloway” embroidered on his
halter was neighing at the top of his
lungs;° his teeth looked unpleasantly
large.

My companion pulled my sleeve—I
felt from my heart for the mournful
expression in his eyes—and I followed
him to the largest stall, at the end of
the building. Doctor S. bowed his
head sadly as he opened the gate:
within sat several small groups of
young Houyhnhnms. Four were ar-
guing over a bridge table in one cor-

 

ner;” five were reclining on a divan-
like structure, knitting horse-blankets
of fantastic hues’—heaven forgive me
for ever having called the Shandys

an art collection on the walls; two
or three were reading in spite of the

ies, O Eugenius!—one was poring
over a collection of insects and bee-
tles’—which my father, Walter Shan-
dy, could never abide—another was

into a figure of Caesar Borgia, as well
as into one of Al Jolson. In another
corner a handsome mare was drinking
whole bottles of different kinds of
wine,” while two others were hanging
up the bottles by their necks to hooks
in the wall.”

“Come upstairs,” whispered Doctor
S. As I dazedly followed him up the
ladder to the hay-loft, we were almost
knocked headlong by a frisky young
Houyhnhnm galloping down _ back-
wards.”

“One of our worst,” sighed the Doc-
tor, “but the saddest case of all is now
in Bedlam—a lovely young filly who
went out of her mind over big game
hunting.”

“Hunting? Lions and tigers?”

“Stallions—and mice!” he  whis-
pered.

“Boo-o0-o0--nrmph!” came an eerie
neigh from a feed-room on our left.
Looking in, we saw a black-maned,
bay mare in a night-gown,” making
strange motions, while a lanky, white
filly took down learned notes.”

“Haunting . . . and Spiritualism,”
Doctor S. explained, and we passed
on to the main hay-loft. Here we
found two Houyhnhnms sitting en-
tranced before a white screen,” on
which a large-eared black mouse in
big-buttoned short trousers cut absurd
capers. A third Houyhnhnm was
neighing at the top of her high-
pitched voice that the picture was ter-
rible,” but no one paid any attention
to her. Two more, in a corner, were
arguing about the light, and about
the possibilities of using other colors
besides black and white in such dem-
onstrations of the rodential biped.

We departed hastily, and descend-
ed the ladder. But we had some dif-
ficulty in escaping to the outer air, for
the doorway was blocked by a neigh-

attempting to exterminate a weak-

“Justice at last,” said the Doctor
grimly, as we evaded them. “That,”
he added, seeing the question in my
look, “is one who came most danger-
ously under your influence, having
just published A Sentimental Disserta-
tion On The Amorous Relations Of
The Houynhnms, And Remedies For
Difficulties Encountered.’

This was too much! I begged Doc-
tor S. to let me return to my Uncle
Toby and the Widow Wadman, Wal-
ter Shandy, and Obediah, and Cor-
poral Trim. The requisite permission
was granted, on my promising to re-
tract all my Opinions on HOBBY-
HORSES, and to write on that fertile
subject no more. This little pamphlet
is indeed but an _ Introduction—a

estimable Doctor S.—of my five-vol-
ume work to come, on the evils of

In line with the new social welfare program of the triumphant Democratic
candidate for Dictator of the United States, Charles Ghequiere Fenwick, a
check-up of the penal institutions conducted by a member of the brain trust,
Miss Susan Kingsbury, revealed that in the year 1944 there were more women
incarcerated as public enemies than men. I] Duce Fenwick himself visited
Merion Penitentiary, which is devoted to the accommodation of feminine
menaces, and personally interviewed the inmates as to just why they had come
to such a bad end and what they had done to achieve their downhill develop-
ment. The following table has been prepared to facilitate the theses of

COURSE 140. THE REPUTATION OF GOODS AS AN ECONOMIC FACTOR IN
PURCHASING. This course demonstrates the practical utility of buying merchandise
which, because of its inherent reputation, has lasting merit and gives enduring
satisfaction—and the wisdom of buying where caveat emptor and “‘just as
good’’ are omitted from the vocabulary of the proprietor. Class meets whenever a
purchase is being contemplated. Professor Good Name.

She wouldn’t believe that it
takes longer to make a pair

of I. Miller Shoes than it
does to assemble a Ford GY
car—wnti]—

She visited the I, Miller AVN

factory and had to send for

her trunk. A woman can’t live 22 days watching one pair of
shoes go through over 200 operations before they're finished—
without wanting to powder her nose occasionally.
