Dean Acheson
Will Interpret

Bretton Woods



The Hon. Dean G. Acheson,
Assistant Secretary of State, will
speak on “Bretton Woods” at the
ninth CoHege Assembly on Cur-
rent-Affairs on May 11 in: Good-
hart.

Dean Acheson was Chairman
‘of the Bretton Woods Conference
held in the summer of 1944, at
which postwar plans were out-
lined for-an international finan-
cial. organization consisting ‘of a

- stabilization fund and a bank for
reconstruction. Additional ex-
perience as Chairman of The
General Policy Committee to co-
ordinate all United States relief
activities abroad, as Chairman of
the Food Conference at Hot
Springs and as head of the Amer-
ican delegation at the Atlantic

prity Conference held in 1944, has

made Mr. Acheson an _ authority
on international affairs of an ec-,
onomic nature.

A career as statesman began
for Dean Acheson in 1933 when
he interrupted the practice of law
to become Under-Secretary of the

Treasury. Resigning after five
months, he returned to law, but
reentered the Department of

State in 1941 as Assistant Secre-

‘ tary of State, in which capacity

he has continued up to the pres-
ent time.

Miss Mildred B. Northrop, As-
sociate Professor of Economics,
said that Dean Acheson was
of the few men who could make
Bretton Woods comprehensible to
the public.”

The Intercollegiate Broadcasting
System will present a program on
the theme .“students united for
peace’, Thursday night, May 10.
The I. B.S. represents an associa-
tion of thirteen college radio sta-
tions, including W.B.M.C., which
will be linked u the. first time
over a coastal network in this
broadcast.

Bryn Mawr will be represented
on ‘the program by statements
from Miss Robbins, Miss Taylor,
and Helin Reed on’ the subject of
the San Francisco Conference.

in peace problems, evinced in such
meetings as Current .Events and
War Alliance Assemblies. The pro-
gram will also include a message
from President Nicholas Murray
Butler of Columbia, and from for-

“one

eign students, as well as selections

of international music.
Originaging from Columbia Uni-
‘versity in New York, this broad-
cast marks a nilestons i in the de-
velopment of these collegiate radio
’ systems. Members of the Bryn
Mawr radio club, which has been

‘As You Like It’
Given With Spirit
Of True Comedy



Goodhart, May 4 and 5. “Ayoid-
ing the two most dangerous pit-
falls of modern productions of
Shakespearean comedies by neithy
er taking the plays too academical-

ly, nor too lightly, the Varsity
Players, under the direction of
Mrs. Seyril Ruben, succeeded in

presenting As You Like It, with a
spirit in perfect keeping with the

made the rain-caused transition
into Goodhart with ease. Adopt-
ing the Shakespearean customs of
a stage devoid of scenery, and of
scenes melting, as it were, into
each other, the Players’ succumbed
to modernity only in the reversal
of the Elizabethan procedure of
casting, having to use women for
all the roles.

Although the opening scenes
were unfortunately slow in pace,
the play quickly assumed its prop-
er timing, proceeding in running

Collins Describes
1945 College Girl
At Women’s Club



The new maturity and purpose-
fulness-evident in the colleges “was
the keynote. of a panel discussion
of “The American College Girl: of
1945,” sponsored by’ the Women’s
College Club ‘of Prinéeton. The
meeting was held. Monday eve-
ning, May 7, in the elementary
school in Princeton. Speakers in-
cluded Mrs. James Chadwick-
Collins, Mrs. Marquand Forsyth,
Mrs. George Elderkin, Miss Shir-
ley Davis, Mrs. John Fine, Mrs.
Walton Butterworth

Wright presiding.

Mrs. Chadwick Collins empha-
sized the néw determination of
today’s college girl in her academic
work. There is a definite in-
sistence, she feels, on -academic
training and discipline that will
be useful after graduation. This
has shown itself in increasing in-
terest in the social sciences, na-
tural sciences and history within
the ‘ curriculum. and in current
events, war assemblies and other
war wor extra-curricularly.

This new spirit has had its ef-
fect, too, on the methods of teach-
ing,’ Mrs. Collins pointed out.
There is a change in emphasis
from teaching by the professor to
This has
resulted in a reduction of lecture
hours in the curriculum and in
compensating increase in the
amount of individual research
work. The student has welcomed
this as effective discipline for the
mind and good preparation for
work after graduation.

Miss Shirley Davis spoke on the
work of the secondary school ad-
ministrator. The secondary schools,
she pointed out, have improved
their collége preparatory work
greatly in recent years, both in

academic matters and in character |

M. Childs Discusses
Serious’ Shortages

Of Europe’s Food

Goodhart, May 3. “Unless the
European people get food before
next winter, there will be serious
internal revolts,” said Mr. Marquis
‘Childs, columnist recently return-
ed from Europe, in his lecture on
Hungry Europe. Childs contrast-
ed our “safe, secure island” to the
conditions in England, and Europe,
emphasizing _the . terrific differ-
ences.

England, Childs sointed out, has
been earnest in feeding-its people.
Through a good rationing system,
and the complete dissolution ‘of pri-
vate interests, the English pepole
have had enough to eat, although
the food -is monotonous.

France, however, is almost starv-
ing. Its system of transportation
has completely broken down—loco-
motives have been left where they
were hit—and although there is
still food in some parts of the
country, they have not been able
to transport it to the large indus-
trial cities. There has been a rapid:
increase in tubercular diseases, and
also a rapid deterioration of. cur-
rency..__The only people who have
heat or food are those connegted
with the U, S., and this situation
makes for hard feelings between
the French and the Americans in
France.

Dean Advocates
Summer. School

by Christina Grant

Over the past few years students
have taken an increasing interest
in summer school work and have
felt! that it was unusally import-
ant to take courses in summer
school in connection. with their
work at Bryn Mawr. The faculty
is strongly in favor of their doing
some work for at least part of each
summer, and would accordingly
like to clarify its policy with re-
‘spect: to work done in summer
school,

| and, in some cases, extremelf ad-
vantageous for students to supple-
ment their work at Bryn Mawr by :
taking summer courses. We would |
therefore give them every ¢ffcour-

hand, we feel that the value of this |
kind of work ought:not to be mea: |

V-E Day Announced
llege Assembly

~ |College Assembly Has
Quiet, Solemn Aspect
Of Victory

V-E Day,. formally announced to
the campus in a college assembly
Tuesday morning, was a sober and
quiet day at Bryn Mawr.

The assembly, opening with the
singing of a hymn, was held in
Goodhart at 8:45 a. m. to enable
the student body to hear the broad-
casts of the speeches of the heads
of the Allied nations. After the
“Cherubic Hymn”, sung by the
Choir, Miss McBride, in a_ brief
speech, expressed the feeling of the
majority of people on campus.

“We cannot help but feel joyful
at the completion of this paft of
the war,” -she said, “but we must
remember that this is. not the end..
Not only is there still much suffer-
ing left in Europe, but we still
havé a war ahead of us to be
fought.” ‘\ es

A radio on Goodhart stage
brought Mr. Truman’s speech -to
the assembled college. Immediate-
ly afterwards thé power-house sir-
en joined those of the village in
proclaiming V-E Day, and Taylor

bell was rung by Patricia Behrens

and Dorothy Bruchholz.
Those who did not attend the as-

_|sembly. were gathered in groups

around radios in the.various smok-
ing-rooms. Except for outbursts
in the halls during the siren-blow-
ing, the undergraduates remained
in a fairly subdued state through-
out the day.

Various representative groups
when questioned attributed this ta
several causes, Many felt-that the
Pacific war involved so much fu-
ture hardship that this was‘no time
for.celebration. Others expressed
the feeling that,armistice rumors,
rife during last. week’s Glee Club
concert, as well as on Monday, had
dulled the edge of the news and
removed much of the spontaneity
of reaction.

Rare Book Room Offers Array
Of Familiar Children’s Classics



. by Rosina Bateson 747

All work-worn, academically -
dazed undergraduates should be re-
quired to take time off to see the
student-contributed exhibit of chil-
,dren’s books now in the Rare Book
Room. No massive tomes, diction-
aries, encyclopedias, or theories
written by some scholars about
some other scholars gréet the
bleared eyes. Instead, an array of
old favorites, opened at inviting
places, jogs the memory back to
the peaceful days of Alice in Won-
derland or Through the Looking
Glass sans Mr. Auden’s “Interpreta-
tion.

There are, roughly, about one
hundred and twenty-five books on
display, yet even with so many dif-

‘ferent authors represented, almost

every book looks familiar. The il-

lustrations in the collection include

the delightful Tenniel etchings of
a first edition of Through the
Looking Glass, loaned by Susan
Oulahan ’46, and such. favorites: as
Kate Greenaway, Boutet de Movel,
and Gustav Dore. There is a del-
icacy about ‘their work which is a
far cry from the bold, vivid illus-
trations found in children’s books

today, which seems to take away a



little of, the imaginative mystery
that surrounded the almost ether-
eal characters of Kate Greenaway’s
day. There are also examples of
some of the hand-painted _illustra-
tions dating from before the inven-
tion of the color process in printing
and coming from the collections of
Margaret Spencer ’44, and Joseph-
ine Burroughs, of the ndib sead
school. *

Several editions of Thackeray’s
books ‘for children, published under
the pseudonym of M. A. Titmarse,
lent by Amoret Bissell .’48, and
early’.-American children’s story
dated from 1827-1860 are also on
exhibit. Patricia Cowles ’47 has

ren, specially illustrated for her by

er.

There could be pages written
about the exhibition, which must
be seen to be really appreciated. It
is the kind of collection through
which one could browse happily for
hours, thumbing pages having

fect like Alice’s diminishing care,

Bretton Woods

The War Assembly program this week is centered on
Bretton Woods, most contreversial of the three post-war
problems yet discussed. Attempts to form international or-
ganizations for coordinated political action are within the ex-
perience or the knowledge of many of us, and their value,
their needs, and their operation can act as a basis for critical
evaluation of Dumbarton Oaks. But the Bretton Woods pro-
posals are entirely new recommendations, with the ordinary
observer at a loss to judge these from his own knowledge and
experience.

The large bankers of the United States reject the Mone-
tary Fund and favor the Bank, because, they say, the Fund is
automatic and would'tie the hands of the United States, while
the Bank permits a large degree of discretién for the partic-
ipating nations. The Fund was made automatic because tht
discretionary pursuit of self-interest on the part of these
same bankers has been inadequate to maintain any degree of
stabilit? in the exchange market. The bankers declare that if
stability in the exchange market is desired let us return to the
international gold standard. With a large proportion ofthe
world’s “monetary gold stocks stored at Fort Knox, such an

action would be out of the question for any nation but the.

United States. The bankers also seek to lodge the functions
of the Fund in a special department of the Bank; this pro-
posal would invalidate the purpose of the Fund and hand the

_control of exchange operations to the banking interests.

The last decade has seen an increaging public demand for

. regulation and control of America’s giant industries, and cor

respondinyly, of their dictators, the banking interests. There
has been a trend toward the elimination of holding compan-
ies, interlocking directorates, and other devices which assist
a small up of banking houses in maintaining a strangle-
hold upon American business.
these groups to insure as far as possible their operation in
the public interest has progressed with increasing awareness
of the need for it. But there has been no international at-
tempt to regulate the exchange activities of these same bank-
ers until the appearance of Bretton. Woods. Surgly the time
has come for such action,

‘ It has been the misfortune of the United States to be one
step behind the rest of the world in its acceptance of inter-
national cooperation. In the last war the plea was for’mem-
bership in an organization fostering political cooperation and
we rejected it with disastrous consequences. There are few
who do not accept the need of our participation now. But

times have changed since 1918. Circumstancesniow demand
cooperation in economic affairs as well as in political if we do
not wish to see in another twenty years, the specter of a third
and more disastrous_war hovering over the world. Will the
United States again dase to take up the challenge of. Ao

V-E Day
The news of V-E Day came slowly, and there was time
enough for serious thought about the implications of this

momentous day in current history. We are all aware of the:

fact that there is still a war to be won and we are all con-
scious that we too must bear some part in that other battle
—the winning of the péace.

The program proposed by various members of the fac-
ulty and undergraduate bodies of education on the problems

involved in the San Francisco Conference has been well car- |

ried out: Articles in the News by various faculty experts
have outlined the questions of Dumbarton Oaks, Bretton
Woods, and feeding Europe, followed up by assemblies spon-
sored by the War Alliance. Such a program, which offers
definite evidence of student interest. in current affairs and of
the ability of a faculty-student group to work together in the
planning of a campus project, should presage a continuance
of this interest which bodes well for the future alertness of
the college community.

topics. -It is the duty of every undergraduate to be prepared

Dean Grant Describes. :

Post-War Problems
Facing Iran

\ é

®

by Nancy Morehouse °47

Dean Grant’s recent article in
Foreign Policy Reports on “Iran:
Test of Relations between Great’
and Small Nations” is a study in
miniature of the post-war prob-~.
lems facing the Middle East, and
in fact of the difficulties facing
all nations of the world which
are underdeveloped economically.

Mrs. Grant sums up the work
of modernization which has~ been
done in Iran up to the present,
particularly that of the Reza
Shah Pahlavi reign and the de-
velopments which have taken
place during the war. Iran’s rich
oil deposits place her squarely in
the middle of the industrial oper-
ations of the modern world econ-
omy, a position which “is en-’
hanced by her geographic posi-
tion on the route to India and the
Far East. The political complex-
ities of the region only make
Iran’s position more precarious.

Economically, Iran’s problem is
the rapid .industrialization of
what until recently has been a
feudal economy. There are still
wide differences in standards of
living between the poor and- the
still powerful rich. The modern-
ization introduced by Reza Shah
Pahlavi create political prob-
lems, for he neglected to assure
the support of the small group of
middle class and intellectuals by
granting them some democratic
privileges. Mrs. Grant reports.
that many Iranians have . been
disappointed in the constitutional
government which succeeded Reza
Shah’s dictatorship since it did
not automatically bring with it
the full development of an indus-
trial economy.

The great powers of the world
can no longer afford to ignore the
demands of the nations of the
Middle and Far East for aid ‘in
the development of a modern in-
dustrial economy. Any attempt
to do this without outside capital-
ist aid virtually compels the use
of an authoritarian regime, . as |
the Russian experience with the
NEP and the Five Year Plans in-
dicates. The best chance the

nations have of. de-
veloping similar types of govern-
ment in these countries is through
loans and other assistance to the

democratic

industrialization programs, there-
by encouraging the growth of a
middle class.

Mrs. Grant advocates the for-
mation of regional organizations
to eliminate as far as possible an
imperial _point of view on the
part of the lending nation. It is
to be hoped that the San Fran- :
it dis-
cusses the problem of colonies,
will forget nationalistic consider-

cisco Conference, when

ations and produce a solution de-
veloping to_the full the demo-
cratic potentialities of these coun-
tries.

The Eevapeoent of French’

Hubbard Explains|
‘Need for Support’
- OF Bretton Woods;

‘by Dr, J. C. Hubbard

The proposals which the dele-
gates of the United Nations made
at Bretton ‘Woods are important
for the future course of the United
States and of the World. The sig-
nificance of these proposals lies in
the two new world-wide economic
institutions which are to substitute
international collaboration for uni-
lateral and bilateral action in in-
ternational finace. The Stabiliza-
tion Fund and the Bank for Recon-
struction and Development,: which
were outlined at Bretton Woods,
embody the new rules of interna-

tional finance to which all the!’

United Nations agreed. The fact

of agreement in itself is important
because it demonstrates collabora-
tion. At. present international fin-
ance is under rigid wartime re-
strictions which are undesirable
for an interdependent world at
peace. There.were no generally
accepted rules of international fin-.
ance during the 1980’s®and ° each
country went its own way with its
friends, into an isolation which led
to world war. The new set of rules
agreed to at Bretton Woods by 44
nations is a compromise in the
sense that a variety of many rules
is possible. The important fact is
not the nature of particular rules
but the willingness to agree to
rules which all members will fol-
low. ’

The importance of Bretton Woods |
is to be seen also in the recognition
that the world cannot return to the
rules of the old gold standard. The
conditions which made those rules
work no longer obtain. The price
system is too inflexible; foreign in-
vestors lack confidence and their
investments are flighty; and each
nation is unwilling to permit its
income, production, employment,
and consumption to fall in order
to maintain the old gold standard.
Therefore a new set of rules is im-
perative.

The Stabilization Fund is com-
posed of gold and national curren-
cies of the member countries. The
Fund supplements the existing for-
eign exchange market and each
member government may_buy the
foreign currency which it cannot
obtain in the normal market under
certain rules. This buying or bor-
rowing, must be for a short time
and cannot be used for reconstruc-
tion and development. The borrow-
er must repay the short term loan
as rapidly as possible. The Fund
provides an emergency reserve of
forgign exchange which a country
can use to balance its international
account. The Fund also permits
each country to depreciate its cur-
rency up to ten percent of the or-
iginal par after notifying the di-
rectors of the reasons for this ac-
tion. Beyond this marking the con-
sent of the Fund is necessary. Each
member, furthermore, agrees to re-
move the wartime restrictions upon
the conversion of its money into
other curréncies. All the rules of
the Fund are subject to change un-
der democratic procedure.

The Bank for Reconstruction and
Development is important because
it provides long term capital which

otherwise would not be available to
rebuild the devastation. All the

2. If the course taken is one
which is recommended by the ma-
jor department as a part of the
plan of major work. A_ student
who needs to secure credit for work
to be done in summer school should
first consult the Dean and secure
from her preliminary written ap-
proval of the plan, after which the
plan must’ be approved in detail by
the department or the departments
concerned. Credit given for such
work will be calculated.on an hour-

a bonfire with effigies and the build-
ing of a triumphal arch, were dis-
carded by the small groups origin-
ating them when general campus
opinion seemed unlikely to lend
them any support.

Two classes were adjourned to

ruption from the first scene to the ,
last gave the performance real |
Shakespearean atmosphere, — en-
hanced by the evident adaptability
of Goodhart to productions of an
Elizabethan style. Entrances from
the side doors of the main, hall, as
well as from the curtain” back-
ground of the stage were extreme-
ly effective, contributing even more
to the aura of simplicity.

Kate Rand’s_ interpretation of
Rosalind provided what was un-
doubtedly” the most consistently
outstanding individual perform-
ance of the afternoon. Although
her opening scene was hampered
by the general slowness of pace,
she slid easily into the capricious
tempo of the part, with a practical
understanding of every nuance.
Her handling of the mock-marriage |
with Orlando, and of the epilogue,
brought out -every measure of
Rosalind’s. charm,

Playing opposite her in the role
of Orlando, Jean Switendick, 748,
while understandably lacking in
much of the masculinity natural to
the part, carried it convincingly.
Again, it was in the forest scenes,
that her best performance was giv-
en, but she had a general acting
versatility which lent itself to the
hero’s role with sincerity and abil-
ity.

Touchstone, always a_ difficult
role in any production, amateur or
professional, was taken by Jeanne
Redrow ’48, to be a fool in the mod-
ern conception. Although the part
was often overdone, with too much
emphasis on the roly-poly gestures,
and too little on the cruel wisdom
of the Shakespearean fool, there
was, however, a charm and delight-
fulness about her performance that
contributed: much to the general
atmosphere of the play.

Barbara Stix ’47, playing Celia,
tinfortunately had not the voice,
nor the softness in her gaiety,
which would have made her inter-
pretation of the role more in keep-
ing with the rest.

Among the lesser-roles, that—of
Phebe, played by Katherine Colvin
’46, was outstanding for its true
Shakespearean flavor. Elizabeth
Dowling ’47, in the part of Oliver,
suggested real masculinity in her
every word and gesture, as_ did
Toby Locke ’47, playing Charles.
Elaine Hoisington ’46, managed to
convey an amazing feeling of ab-
solute simple-mindedness in her
remarkable performance as_ Wil-
liam.

Unusually effective make-up con-
tributed greatly to Jessica Levy’s
interpretation of the impressive
Duke Frederick, and to Emily
Evarts’ Adam. Both. roles were
ably carried out, but it was unfor-
tunate that Adam’s toothlessne3s
should have been so emphasized as
to bring an #lement of humor into
a part otherwise sympathetically
done.

Explains , French

Resistance Work



Captain Louise de MontReynaud,
of the French Army, spoke on the
organization and evolution of the
French Underground. Speaking
under the combined auspices of the
French Club and the Department
of French, she described the three
stages in the development ofthe
resistance movement: first, the
spontaneous formation of small
nuclei of opposition to the invad-
ers; second,. the development of
resistance groups outside of the
country and) the establishment of
liaison with the outside; third, the
parallel evolution of military and
civil movements in France.

The importance of the civil
|branch of the underground, so
often ‘underestimated in _ this

country, was brought out by Cap-
tain de MontReynaud, whose work
was in liaison ‘and informatiom, A
complete civil. government was
ready to take over at the moment
of the downfall of the Vichy
French. .

In Captain de MontReynaud’s
work she had occasion to go back
and forth between France and Eng-
land. The first time that she was
dropped by parachute, in company
with British, French and American
officers, one of the gentlemen of

the party turned to her and said,
ladies first.”
just before the liberation of -Paris,
the-headquarters of the resistance

“As usual,

were installed in her house; trucks
of the. Vichy police delivered
machine guns and hand grenades
in flour sacks to her front door.

During the question period fol-
lowing her speech, Captain de
MontReynaud brought out the im-
portance of the youth movement
in France: there has been a com-
plete rejuvenation of the govern-
ment, as indicated by the fact that
Captain de MontReynaud herself
is only twenty-four years old, and
began working in the resistance
movement when she was twenty.
The question of collaborators who
have not yet been deprived of their
citizenship was brought up. Cap-
tain de MontReynaud said that as
soon as they could be replaced by
resistance men who could do the
job equally well they would be re-
placed.

Sleeping Beauty
To Be Presented



The Sleeping Beauty, a dance-
play by Hans Schumann, is sched-
uled for production in front of the
gymnasium, at nine o’clock on the
evenings of May 10 and 11.

This play, one of a cycle of four,
was written by Mr. Schumann es-
pecially for the Bryn Mawr Dance
Club. A lecturer and musical di-
rector of the dancing classes here;
he conceived the idea of a fairy-
story dance cycle, designed for
production in the particular back-
ground of Wyndham Garden and

the exterior of the towered gym-~°

nasium. Cinderella, the Goldspin-
ners, and Rodrigo comprising the
rest of the cycle have all been writ-
ten and produced at Bryn Mawr
during the last four years.

The main roles in this production
will be taken by the following
members of the club: The Sleep-
ing Beauty, Louise Kendall 46;
Princes (alternating in the two
performances), Patricia Hendren
’48, and Nancy Kunhardt ’48; The
Wicked Fairy, Esterlee Hutzler ’45;
King, Eleanor Borden ’46; Queen,

Europe’s Food Crisis
Reported by Childs

Cont. from Page 1 ;

Italy’ and Holland, Mr. Childs
brought out that the conditions
there are very “similar to those in
France. Because of the scarcity of
food, inflation and practically no
transportation, these countries are
facing not hunger, but starvation.
Mr. Childs cited Holland as an ex-
ample, where the ration of food for
one day per person is two tulip
bulbs and one potato.

The European’ people expect
America to help them—for libera-
tion means to them food. This
help, Childs believes,;-should be en-
tirely voluntary, and should come
from the desire of the American



people to do the humanitarian: .
thing.

Incidentally. ee

Ws E Day, both anticipatory and |
actual brought with it the usual
round of amusing incidetits, fore-
most amonz which was the quiet

battle
omy

between the, Social Econ-
and. History Departments,
who live side by side in the lib-
rary. It seems the Sociologists
spent’ Monday. dashing wildly out
of their offices yelling “It’s over!
It’s over!’’into the politely inter-
ested but obviously — skeptical
faces of the historians. We're
sure it’s a moral victory for some-
one, but we’re not sure for whom.
The saddest cigarette story we
have heard yet is told by one of
' those thrifty people who careful-
ly save their half-smoked, de-
smouldered butts by replacing
them in the pack. it seems. she
didn’t quite get hers do-smoulder-
ed one day, and had to make a
hasty exit from one of her class-
es as a slow-burning flame was
definitely beginning to make _it-
self felt in her pocket. When she.
“finally reached the safety of the

2

water-cooler, every cigarette was
charred beyond inhalation.
Baseball is a fine and healthy
sport, but rumor hath it that the
infirmary is now treating four
black eyes ‘and three cracked shins
belonging to some of*our campus
enthusiasts. It seems that there

| was a slight controversy over the

problem of using a hard ball or a
soft ball. One hard-ball support-
er, when interviewed, declared that
“we always used hard-balls at
home until two of our players were
killed” while the soft-ball protag-
onist, confident of her batting
ability, declared that she was not
going to pay for all the broken
windows in Taylor that a hard ball
would produce. It wasn’t till after
Chandler was nearly telegraph-
ed for arbitration that it was dis-
covered that hard balls are hard
balls to get during the war.

And incidentally, a cynical soul
we know is continually . ordering
a brand of coffee- known to her
and her friends as: the Bryn Mawr
type—Eight O’Clock, drip grind.
