What Happened; There was a Toast or maybe a Response
(could have been Dr. Smith’s), and table No. 6 was busy with its
I p ace cards, which were being passed 'from person to person to be
s gned. CYou know how it is.) The dinner passed nicely and then
came the dessert. With that, everyone reached for his or l.er card
which, by this time, had been returned to its owner after having
been signed by every person at that particular table. Naturally
enough, everj'body was anxious to know what the rest thought ol
i.im or her. Very nonchalantly Royall Spence picked his card up
and while glancing through his future memoirs came upon the fol
lowing; “It sure is nice to see you here tonight. You're such a fine,
understanding fellow. I don’t know of anyone I like better. In my
opinion, you're positively the best . . . Royall ... P. S. You certainly
aren’t conceited. That’s what I like about you." By Golly, 111 bet

Charm is the subject of two books in the library. The first,
the most sought after, is “Charm” by Margery Wilson. Frankly,
this book is ciisappointing. It contains 137 pages of beautiful, flowery
words that mean exactly nothing. It will be of very little value to
the college student who is trying to improve his personality. The
author runs a charm school in New York, and seems to have a large
amount of that elusive quality herself. However she doesn’t suc
ceed in telling others how to attain it.
The other book doesn’t have such an attractive cover, and I's
name doesn’t make you want to read it. But the contents aie up-
to-date, writ.«n in a brisk, friendly manner; and it’s inlended for
toys and gii is of high school and college age. The pictures are as
modern as tnis month’s Mademoiselle and just as interesting. So if
you want to know how to act with people, or if you need a few
pointers on personality and popularity, or even if you have an empiy
; oiii- to fill—try reading “Cues for You” by Mildred Graves Ryan.
