Wilder Discusses
Christian Faith,
Biblical Symbols

Common Room, March 8.

In explaining “Faith and its Lan-
guage in the New Testament,” Pro-
fessor Amos N. Wilder, professor
of the New Testament at Chicago
Theological Seminary, asserted
“Faith makes its own picture of the
world and has to find a language
to describe this picture.” In this,
faith is analogous to poetry which
also has to use its own symbols of
expression.

Professor Wilder explained that
the problem of faith or loss of rit-
ual in modern life is due to discour-
agement and to a half-faith which
is irresponsible and misleading.
Faith is undergoing a crisis be-
cause “there is no emphatic empha-
sis of potent faith in our life to-
day,” he continued. Therefore, we
feel that we are not behaving like
ourselves and want some sign of
the magnanimity of faith. “In order
to achieve a political faith, the am-
biguity in the Christian faith,

History, Knitting, Cleaning Mark
Knaplund, New Undergrad Pres.

by.-Betty-Bright. Page, .’49

With a gentle, citanabin, Pm
at her gardenia, Karen Knaplun
plunged into thoughts of Under-
grad and plans for next year. She
didn’t even drop a stitch on that
crimson and white Harvard sweat-
er so well-known in Undergrad
Council. “After all, I am a history
major and I don’t believe in knit-
ting in classes,” she explained very
logically.

Completing a cycle begun Fresh-
man year when her S. A., Pat Beh-
rens, was Undergrad president,
Karen announced that her immedi-
ate plans include special May Day
Hop tutoring for Henny, and the
completion of the aforementioned
sweater sleeve. She is also volley-
ing a basketball for the Junior
Class in her spare time.,



_Karen, in her-present role-as the

Merion Cleaning Agency’s Rock
representative, brings more glory
to the dry-cleaning business of the
campus. This augurs well for the
continuance of the present pro-
gram of inter-organizational co-
operation!

“Doing things together” will be
the keynote of Undergrad next
year, Karen promised. “Big week-
ends that have been so wonderful
this year, step-singing and a feel-
ing of co-operation throughout the
campus are to be increased next
year,” she’ continued. Other proj-
ects. of Undergrad in the coming
year will use the additional space
provided by the Wright School, es-
tablish some place to lodge men
who visit B. M. on week-ends and
find more rooms for the multitude
of daily meetings on campus.

Toynbee Returns;

Talks on Change
In English Life

“A silent and bloodless social
revolution of a far-reaching kind
has occurred in England with a
minimum degree of fear and hate,”
declared Professor Arnold Toyn-
bee, speaking in chapel on March 7,
in Goodhart auditorium. His sub-
ject was “Recent Social Changes in
England and Their Religious Sig-
nificance.” In the last generation
there was a great cleavage between
the middle and working classes in
England, Dr. Toynbee said. A num-
ber of the middle class was occupied
in. the Indian Civil Service, where
their world was secure and their
old age provided for. The working
class, however, had no such secur-
ity to look forward to, and it was
extremely difficult for them to rise
out of their class.

A big social revolution occurred
just before 1914, Dr. Toynbee as-
serted, and the situations, or rath-
er the expectations, of the two
classes have now been reversed.
Opportunities have shrunk for the

McBride Presents Jomt Award
For Interrelated Achievements

Qualities of Leadership,
Advancement of Women
Basis for Award

The M. Carey Thomas Award is
presented from time to time at the
discretion of a Committee approv-
ed by the Alumnae Association to
an American woman in recognition
of eminent achievement. The
award carries with it the gift of
$5,000, which tonight is divided be-
tween the two recipients. Mrs.
Roosevelt has announced that her
share will be alotted to the Wilt-
wyck School at Esopus, New York,
for delinquent boys between the
ages of seven and twelve. Mrs.
Roosevelt leaves for London at the
end of March for the unveiling of
a statue of Franklin Delano Roose-
velt.

This year’s Committee in charge
of the Award, of which Miss Mc-
Bride is .chairman, includes Mrs.
Stephen V. Benet, Mrs. Everett N.
Case, Dr. Margaret D. Craighill,
Mrs. George Gellhorn, Mrs. Wallace
Notestein and Mrs. Samuel H.
Paul.

Founded as Tribute

As a tribute to M. Carey Thom-

as, president of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege 1894-1922, the award was
founded by a group of alumnae in
{922. They turned over to the Col-
lege the sum of $25,000, the ac-
cumulated interest to be used from
time to time. An additional sum
of $5,000 was contributed ‘so that
the first Award could be made to
President Thomas upon her retire-
ment.
When Miss Park presented Miss
Thomas with the first Award, she
set the requirements for the recip-
ient. The award “should be given
to an American’ woman of emi-
nence who, whatever her profession
or her interests or her attainment
might be, artist, statesman, writer,
scientist, should possess two quali-
ties which Miss Thomas herself
had preeminently.

“First, she should have the cour-
age, imagination, wisdom, clear
sight of the leader, and second, she

should carry in her heart the wel-

International Attainment
Humanitarianism
Recognized

Goodhart, March 11, 8:30 P. M.

It was announced tonight that
the joint recipients of the M. Carey
Thomas Award for 1948 were Elea-
nor Roosevelt and Anna _ Lord
Strauss. Miss Katherine Elizabeth
McBride, president of the college,
made the presentation. After re-
sponses by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss
Strauss, the Honorable Wiley
Blount Rutledge gave the address.

“The outstanding achievement at
this time among the women of this
country,” said Miss McBride, “is in
the critical field of international
relations. There women are con-
tributing leadership to a degree
and in a fashion unknown when the
M. Carey Thomas award was
founded. There they are evolving
an understanding of world prob-
lems which is a major factor in the
action of this government and in
the climate of public opinion.”

Not Split Decision

The award has been made jointly
for the first time not because of a
split decision in any sense, but in
an effort to emphasize the inter-
related achievements of these wom-
en. On this subject Miss McBride
spoke as follows:

“The members of this audience
will be instantly aware that either
of these women might have won
such an award as this separately
and on several counts.

“Mrs. Roosevelt has served this
country for. many years and in
many capacities, long before the
United Nations was formed or the
Commission on Human Rights
turned over to her chairmanship.
Were I to choose the basis for an
award to Mrs. Roosevelt singiy I
should make it to her as a great
humanitarian. She is preeminent
in her belief in man and his ability
to improve his own conditions and
his relationships with his fellows,
preeminent also in her day to day
effort in support of those working
for the betterment of man.

“Miss Strauss, too, is a> public
servant, convinced of the values of
democratic society and devoting
her life to their reinforcement. It
would be easy to make such an

award to her as public servant, and

Seideman Assumes Dual Role:
Orienting, Cleaning, Frosh, Shoes

by Helen Martin, ’49

Assuming two new jobs simul-
taneously does not seem to faze
Ann Seideman, whose first reaction
on being interviewed after her elec-
tion as president of Self-Gov., was
a hope “that it will work out as
well this year as it did last year.”
Ann, who has also become co-head
of the Merion Cleaning Agency,
says that at any rate her feet are
large enough to fit into the double
job!

At present, she sees no need of
change in the organization. The
very small number of cases that
had to be considered this year, she
points out, proves how well the sys-
tem is working, and also proves
that the students are assuming. in-



dividual responsibility.

“Comparison with the govern-
mental systems of other colleges
shows that Bryn Mawr has an al-
most unique one, laying the entire
responsibility on the _ student
body,” proudly says Ann, who has
done considerable work for the new
NSA student government clinic re-
cently established on campus.

“The big job that always faces
Self-Gov., as well as the entire stu-
dent body, is the orienting of the
freshman class next year into our
system,” she adds. “Most of the
entering students have lived under
fairly heavily regulated systems in
the schools from which they come;
at Bryn Mawr, they have to learn
to assume the responsibility of
their own government.”

The M. Carey Thomas Award

We at Bryn Mawr are proud to have a part in tonight’s
M. Carey Thomas award. We are proud that such an award
exists, to be given in the name of Bryn Mawr’s past great
president; and we are sorry that the whole student body
cannot_attend the presentation to see our own great presi-
dent make the award.

Bryn Mawr gives no honorary degree; this is its highest
honor. Originally founded by a group of alumnae as a trib-
ute to Miss Thomas herself, the award was then designated
as an honor to be given to any American woman, in recogni-
tion of eminent achievement. The list of recipients is a stir-
ring roll-call: M. Carey Thomas, 1922; Jane Addams, 1931;
Florence Sabin, 1935; Marion Edwards Park, 1943; and now

_ Eleanor Roosevelt and Anna Lord Strauss.

They advanced the cause of women, the welfare of people
everywhere. They bettered health, social conditions, Seem
tion, national and international affhirs.

When the prize was awarded to Miss Thomas, Miss Park
postulated the two qualities requisite for the honor: “First,
she should have the courage, imagination, wisdom, clear sight
of the leader, and second, she should carry in her heart the
welfare of women.”

To Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Strauss, we offer congratu-
lations. We know that you possess these qualities in full
measure, and so we welcome you into a brave fellowship.

ERP or Chaos?

It is now scarcely nine months since the U. S.-first-pro-
posed the Marshall Plan for European Recovery. Intended
to support and aid the countries of Western Europe until they
could rehabilitate themselves, the Marshall Plan also offers
a substantial threat to Communism in general and to Russia
in particular by attempting to remove the discontent which
so often fosters and encourages Communism. As was to be
expected, Russia opposed and boycotted the Marshall Plan in
every conceivable way: by formulating the Molotov Plan for
Eastern Europe in July, by establishing the nine-nation Com-
intern to combat ERP, in October, and by launching large-
scale industrial and civil strikes in France and Italy in order
to create chaos and prevent the peaceful and rational solu-
tion of their own problem by these countries. Her last step

has been to stage a coup d’etat in Czechoslovakia and simul-
taneously to move into Finland. °

It is clear that this tense situation of East vs. West can-
not last indefinitely without a showdown of some sort. Russia
now controls all the Balkans except Greece, but (except for
her zone in Germany) has as yet no official hold on the coun-
tries of Western Europe. However, the real test is still to

come. If the April elections in Italy should put the Com-

Current Events

Speaking on Spain Monday night
in the Common Room, Miss Nep-
per stated that eighty-five per
cent of Spain is dissatisfied with
Franco’s government and would
gladly overthrow it. However,
they fear another civil war and
want a bloodless change of govern-
ment.

The core of Spanish resistance
can be divided into two main
groups, she continued. First of
all, there are the Monarchists who
have sub-divided into the “tough
school” and will have nothing to
do with Franco and into another
group who would be willing to
compromise if they thought that
Franco would bring peace to Spain.
The other main group of national
Spanish resistance are the Leftist
parties. There are five of them,
the Communist party being the
most important. There are also
two trade union groups: the an-
archist CNT and the _ socialist
UGT.

“The Socialists dominated the
popular front before the war,” Miss
Nepper stated. Finally, there are
right and left Republicans.

These five groups joined in a sin-
gle bloc when the Communists join-
ed in 1936. They now run a paper
and have a political platform which
asks for a parliamentary form of
government, a review of the judi-
cial system, civil right and educa-
tion in the handy of the State and
not the church.

The Spanish government in exile
still exists, but because of a severe
split, its ranks are weak. It was
hopeful of action when its members
were asked to the San Francisco
Conference in 1945 and with the
inauguration of Britain’s Socialist
government that same summer.
Spanish resistance circles Tn and
out of Spain both feel that the
U N and Britain have let them
down.

* International Achievement

“It is the achievement of these
two women in the _ international
field; however, which this particu-
lar award signalizes. As a mem-
ber of the United States delegation
to the First Session of the Gen-
eral Assembly and later as Chair-
man of the Human Rights Com-
mission, Mrs. Roosevelt has become
one of the great representatives of
the United States... It has been
Miss Strauss’ privilege to contrib-
ute to the development of policy
but particularly to increase under-
standing across the country
through the League of Women
Voters. President of the National
League of Women Voters since
1944, Miss Strauss has taken the
leadership at a time when interna-
tional problems were of the utmost
significance. She has made a great
contribution in bringing to women
the kind of knowledge which is
both the spur to intelligent- action
and the basis for it.”

B.,M. Graduate’s Letter

Questions Criticism

Of Play

To the editor:

While I am in no postition to
judge the merits of Miss Low’s
play, there are two points in her
recent letter with which I should
like to take issue. Before doing so,
however, I wish to state that I com-
pletely agree with her in that the
original review was.of no construc-
tive help to the author.

Miss Low tells us that “play-
wrights have always written for
audiences, to entertain them, not to
lecture or preach to them.” -I can-
not agree. On the contrary, the
better playwrights have always
produced something besides sheer
entertainment. Sophocles, Aristo-
phanes and Plautus did not merely
entertain. Will anyone claim that
Shakespeare never preaches or lec-
tures? Are Bernard Shaw, Max-
well Anderson, Eugene O’Neill
dramatists ‘who have provided
nothing but frothy entertainment?

Review

I think not. It is rather the meas-
ure of their worth that they have
held their audiences while in the
act of lecturing to them.

Responsibility of Playwright

If Miss Low is going to write
for the “people,” and I would be
interested in*knowing the identity
of this generality, then should she
not feel somé' obligation to them in
her writing? She cannot be satis-
fied with giving them entertain-
ment alone without including, sub-
tly, food for thought. The drama
is one of-the most omnipotent of
arts as it reaches such a large
number of people, and as such it
has a heavy responsibility. As one
who has so frequently expressed a
deep interest in the state of the
world, Miss Low must realize that
the dramatists’ power of communi-
cation can do much towards improv-
ing conditions. It is, therefore, his
duty to use this power to effect the
greatest amount of good. It is im-
probable that writing without any
important theme or moral will
achieve this goal.

I find it difficult to believe that,
in the short space of time that has
elapsed since last June, Bryn Mawr
has undergone such _ radical
changes. Miss Low would have us
think that Bryn Mawr audiences
are “neither intellectual nor emo-
tional.” Then she tells us that
“these people admitted that the
play held their emotional and intel-
lectual interest.” It would seem
that Miss Low has drawn comfort
from a vacuum!

The assertion that Bryn Mawr
audiences are “a large part snobs,
prudes and prejudiced pretenders”
is an interesting, albeit unfortun-
ate, bit of alliteration. I think there
are many of us who would protest
that if she has learned no more
from “living with sharecroppers’”
than she has from living with Bryn
Mawr, her intimate-knowledge of
the former is questionable.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth M. Dowling, ’47.

class. There has been a change in
the whole tone of life as well as in
political and social reforms, Dr.
Toynbee said. The people are more
cultivated and more humane now.

The nation asa whole has lost a
political empire, and, still more im-
portant, an economic one as well.
At the same time she-has gained
a more acute sense of social jus-
tice, while a high degree of acqui-
escence has accompanied all
changes. “There has been no break
in the constitutional life and his-
tory of the country,” Dr. Toynbee
declared. This is a safeguard
against explosions of violence. The
lower class has never been so em-
bittered as \to refute the constitu-

-| tion, and they-have taken on par-

liamentary tradition completely,
gaining their power by constitu-
tional means.

The conscience of the middle
class, who have yielded so much,
has a religious basis and origin,
Professor Toynbee declared. Being
idealistic, the religious element has
been the main thing which has
kept the revolution from being non-
violent. “When politics cease to be
inspired by religion, they soon go
astray,” according to Dr. Toynbee,
but religious methods and princi-
ples should not be applied to the
execution of politics. Men’s rela-
tions to one another are constantly
in a state of flux, whereas their
relations to God are more stable,
and therefore the same. methods
cannot be applied to both. The
present world is such that people

Incidentally

Not everyone is as history-haunt-
ed as the young ladies of Bryn

Mawr, we discovered Sunday night,

when the telephone rang in the
NEWS room, and a Voice asked “Is
there going to be a talk in Good-
hart tonight?” When we replied
that Mr. Toynbeé was going to
speak, ana the voice said, “Who is
he?” we were so non-plussed that
we could only stammer that, well,
he was supposed to be the foremost
historian in the world!

Evidently the Freshman Show
has begun a battle royal with Hav-
erford, or at least it would seem
so in view of the conversation over-
heard in Art Lab, when one lad
couldn’t understand the reason for
a girl knitting a white baby sweat-
er. The girl remarked cleverly —
she thought—that there were girl,
boy and neuter babies; but regret-
ted her remark when the Haver-
fordian immediately responded,
with accents of disgust, “Oh, that’s
the kind they send to Bryn Mawr!”

* * *
What A. A. president spent
Freshman Show Day mopping up

“Dalton after a 12-hour flood caused

by the water she left running? And
what faculty representative had
better turn his attention from fire
control to flood prevention?

* * *

The rational is not always tri-
umphant, we found the other day
in the Inn. We reproduce verbatim
theconversation we overheard: “We
called off the Horaces and at seven-
thirty six of them showed up in
Rhoads Showcase looking for
Maisie.”

* * *

And speaking of the “Vanishing
Lady”, as aren’t we all after the
mass frustration program sponsor-
ed by Undergrad Friday night in

‘the Music Room, won’t someone

take the Thirty-Nine Steps, or
*

however many are necessary to
bring her back alive?

a

We hope that no Reynolds’ rep-
resentatives are browsing around
the campus these days; we can
think of nothing more depressing
than seeing 500 of their cigarette
cases, each with a neatly-embossed
CAMELS upon it, enclosing 500
packs of Chesterfields!

Pollock To Speak
On Don Sturzo

Dr. Robert C. Pollock, associate
professor in the graduate school of
Arts and Sciences at Fordham
University will lecture on “Christ-



ian and Modern Humanism in the
Philosophy of Don Sturzo’ in the
Common Room at 830 on Marca

Sturzo is the great political phil-
‘osopher and sociologist of modern
Italy, the founder and _ spiritual
|leader of the Christian Democratic

|Party. After founding the Con-

federation of. Christian Democrati¢
Unions and the Popular Party of

which he was the head, he contin-
ued his work in other countries,
writing prolifically while exiled
from fascist Italy. Returning after
Mussolini’s downfall, he returned
to his work with the Popular
Party, which emerged as_ the
Christian Democratic Party.

Dr. Pollock has been for some
years a student of the philosoph-
ical aspects of Don Sturzo’s social
theories and recently lectured. on
the Italian philosopher and sociol-
ogist at the New School in New
York. These lectures, together
with other essays on Don Sturzo’s
thought, are being published as

Jobs Discussed
At Language Tea

At the
tea for faculty and students of the
Modern Language department, fac-
ulty and alumnae speakers agreed
that best
possible profession for students in
this field. Other opportunities in
government work and in the busi-
ness world were also cited, but
teaching was unanimously advo-
cated as most advantageous.

Miss Frances de Graaff, assist-
ant professor of Russian at Bryn
Mawr, described the opportunities
in the teaching profession, empha-
sizing that the long vacations as
well as the chance to be with young
people at an especially important
point in their lives allows teachers
to “learn by doing.” This, she
added, more than compensates for
the usual drawbacks attributed to
teaching.

Explains Gov’t Positions

In explaining the government
positions open to modern language
majors, Mrs. Katherine Richard
Hill, ’39, formerly with the State
department in Washington and
Germany, stated that other skills,
especially a knowledge of econ-
omics or history, was more im
portant than the knowledge of a
language. “Your language is mere-
ly a tool which you can use in
translating and interpreting, but
it is more a prerequisite than a
qualification.” Like Miss de Graaff,
Mrs. Hill suggested teaching as a
profession in which real satisfac-
tion can be derived from working.
The government work is glamor-
ous, but there is no feeling of hav-
ing accomplished anything.

Miss Dorothy Nepper, Dean of
the College, summed up what had
already been said and suggested 2
remedy for “the ghost character
that haunts the American scene.”
Her remedy is going to conven-
tions of various women’s organiza-
tions where the student will find
that there are ‘odd’ women in all
professions. She added some in-
formation about positions now held
by former language majors,\ and
advocated a course in how to get
a job. ‘

‘Summer experience is a help in
getting a job after graduation. If
you can get something which bears
directly. on what you plan to do
later, so much the better; if not,
get what experience you can. We
find that the first question almost
all. employers ask is: “Has _ this
student ever had any jobs?” Vol-
unteer work in your communities
is as valuable as~a paid job.

thing to think about for the sum-

Quartet To Play
In Wayne Sunday

The Tri-County Concerts Asso-

standing musical events of its cur-
rent season next Sunday evening,
March 14, when it brings the re-
nowned Curtis String Quartet, as-
sisted by William Berman, viola,
and Meta Taber, ’cello, to Radnor
High School, Wayne, in a program
of chamber music.

The concert is scheduled for 8:30
P. M. and the public is invited.
There is no admission charge.
Those. who wish to contribute to-
ward this and further concerts will
find collection boxes at the doors.

The program’ will include
Haydn’s famous “Lark” Quartet,
Mozart’s Quintet in G minor, K.
516, and the Brahms Sextet in B
flat major, Opus 18.

The Curtis Quartet, which is
made up of Jascha Brodsky, violin,
Louis Berman, violin, Max Aro-
noff, viola; and Orlando Cole, cello,
is rapidly becoming one of the top
quartets in the country and an-
other source of Philadelphia’s
claim to musical fame.

Since 1927, the group has cross-
ed two continents and played more
than a thousand concerts. Recent-
ly, it realized an ambition by es-
tablishing its own New School of
Music in Philadelphia.

Language of Faith
Explanied by Wilder

Continued from Page 1
which lies behind it, must be over-
come.”
According to Professor Wilder,
there are three reasons why the
faith of the New Testament is dif-

, ficult; because of its sheer great-
~ ness, because it ‘is considered other-

worldly, and because it is couched
in old world symbols of a pre-sci-
entific age. Since the faith of the
New Testament is a “Good News—
so extraordinary that it leads to
elation and triumph,” it must find a
suitable medium of expression in
the symbolism of the age when ‘it
appeared.

Enigma of New Testament

To understand the faith in the
New Testament we must therefore
put ourselves in the place of some-
one undergoing a gigantic, power-
ful faith., Citing Jesus’ Message of
the Future, Professor Wilder show-
ed that the attempt to come to
terms with the language in which
this tremendous faith is expressed
is of three kinds—the literal or
prosaic way, which leads to a com-
plete misunderstanding or loss of
the message; the interpretation
that the kingdom of God asserts it-
self little by little in this world,

' which is also false, and the recogni”

tion that Jesus is using his own
symbols without distinguishing be-
tween this and the other world.
Professor Wilder claimed that
the great error of today is to think
in terms of a finite rather than an
infinite God, thereby destroying se-
curity and losing the full triumph
of faith.

Bentley’s Letters From Paris
Feature Les Invalides, Cafes

The following excerpts from let-
ters, written by Barbara Bentley,
’49, who is now spending her jun-
ior year at the Sorbonne, give a
vivid and lively picture of Paris in
the fall of 1947:

“The next morning it was such
fun seeing where we were. We
had a breakfast of one little ‘piece
of bread with jam, powdered
orange juice and lousy coffee. But
the sun poured in a lovely dark
oak-panelled dining room and the
garden is magnificent—all enclosed
and green. I’m sitting in it now
in the sun writing. Around me
there is a young lady singing
scales in a neighboring pension,
and two men arguing vehemently
outside. On one side of the gar-
den wall is a house of about five
stories with no windows on this
side—just very thick ivy which is
swarming -with birds. Reid Hall
itself was built in the early 18th
century’...

“We went to a French movie hier





soir—‘Goupi/ les main rouges’ —
wonderful picture of peasant life in
Bretagne. Coming next is Ray

“I'm Looking Over a Four Le

(An MGM release)



“Four leaf clover” has turned into a real four leaf
clover for ork-pilot, Art Mooney. His record is
keeping jukes in clover.

An experienced hand in the music biz—Art follows
that famous experience rule in the choice of a
cigarette, too. “I’ve smoked many different brands
and compared,” says Art, “and Camels suit me best.”

Try Camels! Discover for yourself why, with
smokers who have tried and compared, Camels are

by Elizabeth Woodward

America’s foremost authority on young
people’s problems

Of the people you know, how many will you still
be seeing ten years from now? Only the ones you
know really well, you say. The kids you’ve grown up

up with. The new friends you've made best friends. All the others
will fall by the wayside... out of sight and out of memory. You haven't

time to keep them for posterity.

For with you...to be friends is to go all out. Being constantly
together, sharing secrets, accumulating memories, plowing into new
experiences shoulder to shoulder, dishing out big doses of devotion,
possessing each other. There’s no halfway measure. Being that close
takes so much steam... you can be friends with only a few. There just

isn’t any more of you to go around,

You’ve probably settled down cozily to going steady with one boy.

... You have a man for all the big and little moments when you need one.

You don’t need other map,-yan think. Besides, there aren’t any free
othe

dating hours.

In between dates, you run around with one special girl. She’s your
port in all storms, your constant abettor, your other half.
These best friends require a lot of attention. They don’t thrive. on
separation, indifference or casual treatment.

So you sit back in your snug harbor and date only one boy ...and
meet no others. You trot with the same group of girls...and never
raise your sights. While the rest of your acquaintances stay casual...

just because you haven’t time to draw them close. __.
You know ...a girl is known by the company she keeps. Her friends

are an indication of her taste and

ersonality ,.. just as are the clothes

she wears, the things she reads, and the perfume she puts behind

her ears.

A girl can always get by with just one good dress. But just wear it
every day in the week and high days too...and it gets to be like a
very old shoe. A wardrobe that offers changes to fit her moods is more

colorful and more fun.

Pals of the bosom are a comfort and joy. But you can still be that
all-out friend with people you don’t see all the time. You can share life
and laughs with friends you don’t clutch close. You can pile up back-

logs of memories with cronies you don’t possess. You can keep lots of
friendships thriving if you'll spread yourself thinner...and circulate,

Why not bedeck your future with a variety of good friends? Instead

of letting them slip through your fingers... because you haven’t time

to keep them?

“|. We... walked all the way
to Les’ Invalides and saw the em-
peror and all the tombs and relics

Then we went behind into that
gigantic court. There were several
big expositions going on—all about
the French struggle to keep the
Rhine ... It (one of the exposi-
tions) showed different costumes of
battle since early Gaulois times
right down to the present. And all
sorts of maps and relics, from old
coins down to airplanes suspended
from the ceiling.

“, .- From there we walked to

the Seine and stood for hours
watching fishermen, tug _ boats,

barges and birds. Puis we went :
between le Grand Palais et le Petit
Palais. There will be a ‘Concours
Hippique—Avec le Jumping’ there
in a few days. I’m dying to go.
Then we walked along the Champs-

Elysee tor a while and saw a dif-
ferent Paris completely — three

‘times as ritzy and expensive .

I like our part better; it has much
more character. I bought some
marons rotis and have decided to
live off them all winter.
