AS OTHERS SEE US
FOUNDERS' HALL
By John Webb Cannon
For a mere man to take upon
himself the task of sizing up fem
inine taste in interior decorating,
by wandering through their domi
ciles for oidy an hour and a half, is
rather presumptions, to say the
least. But nevertheless the writer
will draw some general conclusions
from this course of observation
that were self evident from ap
pearances.
There is an undeniable love ot
art in the make up of these charm
ing creatures. One had only to
look at the copious art collections
displayed wherever space permit
ted, to realize this fact. The key
stone of these exhibitions was in
variably the portrait of some young
er member of the masculine sex,
and backed by various and sundry,
rather numerous, specimens of the
art of kodakery. Also a large majori
ty had kindly placed at the disposal
of the visitors whole albums of
illustrated past events.
But to hurry on. The college
girl, it was gathered from this
Thanksgiving trip, is very consci
entious. She displayed openly on
this occasion all the ivory handled
tools that puts those delicate touches
of art on the crude product of nat
ure, the names of which you may
secure from the catalogue of any
manicure shop.
The fair dormitory dweller is
very ingenious, rather inventive. To
know this, one only has to look at
the marvelous calendar devised by
some New Gardenite, which consist
ed of a paper doll for each day
between now and the Christmas
holidays, all pasted on the wall,
where as the sun sets each day,
a doll is wrested from its place.
But speaking of ingenuity, a piece
of strategy was observed in one of
the dormitories that makes the
wooden horse stunt of Ulysses look
crude. A damsel in order to protect
certain personal property from pry
ing eyes of men had tacked an Elon
pennant across her closet door.
Friends, remember her, the ; olleg •
girl, lover of art,  ons ie.ntious and
ingenious.
COX HALL
By Mary Cal Henley
"Get sarcastic," said the manag
ing editor pro-tem of the Guilford
an. '"Be funny." But this is a se
rious matter, this visit to Cox Hall,
to be treated with the dignity which
the rarity of the occasion demands.
Solemnity—that is the Keynote.
Mr. Cannon, we understand, has
given the girls' rooms the once-ovet
and has written his impressions in
a scathing commentary. Such an
article deserves a reprisal, which we,
in behalf of ill-used women-kind
shall endeavor to make.
The joys of baching it, long a
favorite thrust of the unmarried
to those so-called, unfortunates, who
have run into the halter head first,
have aroused skeptical thoughts in
the minds of the critical, deadlier
sex. We were invited to cast a
cursory eye over the stately dormi
tory across the campus, to prove
the masculine theory that men are
experts at housekeeping. We went;
we saw: we returned, unconvinced.
Cox Hall was clean indeed, con
spicuously, clean. The trash bar
rels were performing their duties
with scrupulous and hitherto un
precedented care. The floors were
obviously swept, mopped, scrubbed,
blondined or peroxided. Alas, the
window, but shall we speak of the
windows? Well, all of them were
not used for letting in light.
The favorite reading at Cox Hall
is the Scripture to all appearnces,
judging, that is, from the number
of open Bibles displayed. Or per
haps the earnest students were study
ing for Bib. lit. We would never
suppose that it was to impress the
visitors.
An elegant show-place was the
superb dance-hall. A tinpanny Vic
trola graced one corner, out-jazzing
any minstrel. The floor showed
signs of usage, being beautifully
and smoothly waxed, once upon a
time.
The rooms of the faculty were
modest, prim and proper, as befits
faculty. Most of them, the faculty,
as well as the majority of the
other inmates were not at home to
receive guests. There was no
trouble in identifying the owner of
each room however, by the conglom
eration of feminine portraits used
for decoration.
Ah, ves, we inspected everything
we were supposed to, and perhaps
ore or two things we were not.
The boys would never admit it,
however. We were quite as diligent
in our mission as any trustee of the
John Grier I;-me. But if we may
say so, we did not outdo the boys.
A POEM
A leaf comes dancing, glancing
down
To earth where numberless leaves
are found
At rest beneath the trees.
Little leaf, do you sigh when your
work is done,
And you bow no more to the morn
ing sun
Nor dance in the evening breeze?
"No, no," you say, "I'm only blest,
Since trial is o'er, to seek my rest,
For 1 have labored well.
My shade in summer cooled one
brow,
My beauty pleased—l know not
how—
My parent tree can tell.
May we, when autumn comes at last.
Look as the leaf, upon the past
And feel that all is well.
For then when we shall loose and
fall,
How well we've labored, great or
small,
Our Father, God, shall tell.
W. L. Rudd.

QUAKER QUIPS
Speaking of careers for college j
students, we tliink there is a broad I
field in literature, and a great pos-)
sibility of many becoming authors
and writing for money. At least the
home folks will agree that we have
had plenty of practice.
Things that "set on" you:
A public speech that begins, "I
haven't much to say, but—
The rising bell on Monday morn- j
ing.
A notice from the treasurer's office, j
The attitude of a math coach in
tennis to the fellows who major in
history.
Saturday afternoon and the water
cold.
Birds starting to China by the wa
ter route.
A date at the eleventh hour and
o best dress already loaned.
