Pasre Four. THE SALEMITE ^ »ii L"-ai November 16, 1945. Shophound Shops For Week-end by Betsy Long Illustrated by lone Bradshaw Shophound felt like sprucing up for the Duke-Carolina week-end with a brand new evening dress from down stairs at Montaldo’s. It’s black moussline de soie, no sleeves, tight bodice, and,where the voluminous skirt starts to flare at the hips, there is a wide band of yellow ribbon with a black bead design on it. Same floor, same store: another evening frock of pale pale blue taffeta with a folded pep- lum in the front. It’s sleeveless, too, but has wide straps and V- neck line. (. Have you been wearing the same evening wrap’ for years? S. H. went to Teague’s and picked out two handsome ones. One is red, the other is black. Both have black velvet buttons, are long, and the black one has a hood. . ^ „ For that “new” ^ ((xf ^ '4 experience, you ' need a new hair do. “Jack” at the Anchor, (he’s upstairs), will more than satis fy you with the latest coiffeur styles, straight from Antoine 8. If ^ the new hair calls for something to hold it up or keep it down, some very artistic evening combs are down stairs in the same store. Some are fancy, some plain, according to what you crave for the evening. For the evening bag and gloves you’ll need, Shophound suggests you try the Ideal. Gloves are nice and long, and in all colors. There are some beautiful bags in black, white, gold and silver. Over at Sosnik’s perfume counter, Matchabelli and Schiaparelli have their brands in the popular “Duch ess of York” and “Shocking.” The bottles are attractive and in all sizes. You will be delicious all evening! Let’s see—oh! The evening hand kerchief! William McCall has just the one—a lacy thing, which is very beautiful and delicate. ’Bye for now! Have a good time! Dots and Dashes Miss Lewis HatesT eaching by Margaret Fisher The short, energetic lady strode across the room with her hand out stretched—Miss Nell Battle Lewis. Her short, waved white hair fell over one side of her forehead, and her quick, inquisitive eyes shone as she smiled. Miss Lewis graduated from Smith College and until recently has taught at St. Mary’s. She remark ed on the increased freedom in the life of the college girl today. As a whole, the increased freedom of college girls is good, in her opinion Too much freedom, however, she thinks is not advisable. “When I was in school I could not see thaf,” she said. “My girl-hood was very much undisciplined.” With a note of experience in her oratorical voice she commented, “College should prepare a girl for life, and life is a school with its own restrictions.” As one of her most interesting law cjises, Miss Lewis told of her de fense of sixteen young girls from Ramarcand, State Reform School. ‘ ‘ These girls had set fire to two buildings and were charged with arson—a capital offense. That’s our ‘civilized’ state!” she exclaimed. Modestly she stated that it was simple to change the charge to “at tempt to burn property” and limit the sentence to a one-to-five-year period. Then she continued with several observations on the case. “If I had been more experienced then I should have had all the girls examined as mental cases. This case was an education in the under currents of society of which we are usually unaware. All these girls were mental cases affected by their backgrounds and environments,” she added with a thoughtful, earn est expression. At present Miss Lewis writes a column for the Ifaleigh News and Observer. She has made this a column of comments on every sub ject. “My chief aim is to express nn honest person’s opinion—or one who tries to be honest,” she adds. Miss Lewis has also written a book on the teachings of Jesus, with comments on his prayers, para bles, and the Sermon on the Mount. She is now working on a book of all the teachings of Jesus and com ments for the general reader. “Peo ple want a spiritual anchor. Eelig- ion has become clouded with form alities of the churches. War has accentuated spiritual hunger • and people have found that materialism is not the answer.” She explained 3>OHce Vl^4ieite6> by Peggy Davis and Martha Boatwright Mid flash bulbs, tripods, films, and double exposures, we managed to get a camera-eye view of Sa lem’s first post-war dance. Definitely in focus were Barbara and Harvey, Lou and Harry, Jane and Mac, Sophia and Bill, Polly and Harry’s Friend, and Meredith and Henry Welfare. Mr. Goodrich arrived early and so did Martha Walton. From the balcony where he sat with eight or ten couples (maybe it was Mart and George, or Alice and Jimmy, or Mae and Don), he got the pAze shot of the evening. Entranced by the orchestra, Martha stared at them so intently that her tangle got footed in the light cord and she fell flat on her face with derriere levee. Bill Hackney and Carol Gregory were coming down the receiving line just as Mr. G. got a formal shot Dr. Eondthaler grasped. Bill’s hand, and quipped sternly, “William, where’s Bill?” The amazed look on Bill’s face dominated the picture. And perhaps one of the most amazed faces photographed was Little Bunny’s when she tapped the shoulder of a tall sailor and found that it wasn’t Thornton Hood; it '.va«n’t even anyone she knew. The dim lights (weren’t they won derful?) made it hard for our ubi quitous photographer—Avis Weav er, too. You see, she couldn’t—she dii’n’t wear her glasses. To make a short story longer, she looked the floor over, but couldn’t find her date. Lying on his back, the prostrate photographer got a super shot of Lois Wooten when the Moment of Realization came; the music had stopped and quite casually she lock ed hands with her partner and look ed up to shoot the usual line. Her jaw and hand dropped. Her part ner was Mr. Evett. For Salem’s contribution to Vogue mag, Ray snapped Miss Julia in her latest—good advance pub licity for the ballet ensemble. “Brother” West and his harem posed for a crowded close-up. Against the backdrop of stardust and moonbeams, the white orchids of Jane Jeter and Mary Patience made a striking picture. One so striking that Mr. Goodrich and his helpers packed up and went home. that even in school the Bible courses always interested her most. Miss Lewis is no longer teaching. ‘I enjoy knowing the students and working with them, but I hate the And emphatically she declared, “I had rather plow a huge field any day, than go through that routine.” AWarningTo School Teachers (Editor’s note: Mary Lon Lang- horne, ’45, sent this letter which she clipped from the Texas Out look—says it expresses her senti ments exactly. She’s teaching in a primary grade—had no idea she’s ever stand in front of a class room until school opened this fall. Next issue we’ll present the other side of the picture.) Dear Superintendent: “I appreciate your kind offer of a job for my girl. She had her heart set on being a schoolteacher, but I talked her out of it. Teach ing school is too much like being a preacher’s wife. It’s a high call in’, but peopU expect you to give more’n they pay for. “You take the teachers here in town. The only difference in them and Christian martyrs is the date and lack of bonfire. They were hired to teach and they do it. They teach the youngun’s that learn and entertain the ones that fall on their heads when they were little but that ain’t enough. They are supposed to make obedient lit tle angels out of spoiled brats that never minded nobody, and wet nurse little wildcats, so their moth ers can get a rest, and make gen iuses out o’ children that couldn’t have no sense with the parents they’ve got. “But that ain’t the worst. They’ve got to get up shows and plays to work the school out 'of debt, and sing in the choir, and teach a Sunday school class, and when they ain’t doing nothing else they’re supposed to be a good ex-1 ample. “They don’t get no pay for three months, and can’t pay their board or buy decent clothes, and on top of everything else they can’t hold hands comin’ home from prayer meetin’ without some gossipy old sister startin’ a scandal on them. “I’d just as soon be a plow mule. A mule works just as-hard, but it can relieve its soul by kickin’ up its heels after quittin’ time with out startin’ any talk. I appreciate your kind offer and may the Lord have mercy on you, but my daugh ter is not interested. Yours very truly, Mary’s Mother. Bonds Buy Mercy Ship by Virtie Stroup And why must we buy bonds and stamps in this Victory Loan Drive?
