■ Spi-hijT in sprung and gri'.ss is ris,
Tlie Snleui girls lirown with suu-
burn is.
This is all true and. I agree that
few elothes show off that tan. But
come; come, now! Let’s not go to
the extreme, girls! With one' glanco
at the Lost n«'l Found box, I’m
wondering if we haven’t returned to
nature and the fig leaves. In an
swer to a , (juestion, "What is tlie
Salem girl wearing this Sjiring?”
I’d say, "Nothing, I’m,afraid. Be
cause nil her possessions are in the
dean’s office.”
For all who’vo been cleaning out
desk drawers, tearing their hair,
and losing friends by accusation of
borrowing (said with tones imply
ing theft)—these things liave been
found. To begin as we begin every
morning, the lingerie department of
the T.ost and Found boasts a pair
of greon eyelet britches. Alnong
the more nientionable items is one
pair of alligator shoes. Then there
is a checked sports coat, four hand
kerchiefs, and many multicolored
scarfs.
From all appearances, entirely too
many girls are getting too big a
thrill from holding hands. There
are many pairs of gloves, and stray
ones, too.
And who is the trusting person
wlio thinks that spring means dry
Weather in Winston-Salem? If slio
is sufficiently disillusioned she can
call for her plaid umbrella.
If your friends aren’t speaking to
yon, or are frowning furiously, be
kind! It’s not that they’re snub-
bing you, or that the sun is too
bright. No they’ve just lest their
glasses. There are ten of those un
fortunate people' stumbling around
campus.
Tn addition to tliese, there are
three strings of pearls, one choker,
'' eleven pens, manj- pencils, a Sunday
School pin, a silver four-leaf clover
with tlie initials F. O. B., a cigarette
case, rings, and earrings.
Maybe your prayers hiive been
answered and you won’t have I'o
fAce youi' family with, “I’ve lost
it”. Try the dean’s office Hence
forth, if you’ve lost anything you
may advertise for it in the Salemite.

waste a minute showinfj her the rest
of Salem.
The entire campus "entranced”
her with its "wonderful lack of ar
tificiality.” She descrilied it as purc-
English flavor. She constantly re
ferred to English history and on
seeing the arcli, visualized it as
the entrance to the ttlouoester Inn
at the old Globe Theater outside
London'. She even ,])ointed out an
imaginary Shakesi>ear('an stage and
audience around tlie fountain beside
South Hall.
On her tour of the Library she
was impressed and obviously
pleased by the di.splay of books on
charm and good grooming. She
commented on several of them as
being especially good. Among those
were; Designing Women by Mar-
garetta Byers, Wake Up Ajid Live
by Dorothea Brande, Costume De
sign l)y Carolyn G. Bradley, and
Your Carriage, Madam by Janet
Lane. She also suggested two oth
ers written by a friend of hers,
Helene. Garnell. They are; It’s
Fun to Make A Hat and Oh Dear,
What Shall I Wear.
Miss Berry is not the only gifted
member of her family. She spoke
enthusiastically of her sister who
has been a fashion-director for
over ten years. Her sister was a
home economics major and has done
much graduate work in that field.
She is now lecturing to collcge
students in California.
Miss Berry’s husband is in Eu
rope doing diplomatic work. He is
temporarily lirector of exports and
imports in Germany under the pres
ent military government. She is
planning to join him in Paris for
July and August. However, very
soon she and her husband are going
to get’settled here in the States
again. According to her, "It’s time
we took root!” And the States will
surely benefit just as Salem has
from her all too short visit here.

Winston-Salem, N. C.
Tuesday night the Winston-Salem
Little Theatre presented the Kauf-
mann-’onnelly comedy, " Dulcy .
‘D'ulcy” is the story of a young
wife, bnlcinea Smith, who likes to
be "helpful” and invitee her hus
band’s employer, Mr. Forl>es, and
fatnily to spend the week-end with
them to further Smith’s financial
inierests. Ho’v^ever, she also invites
a sci'uarist, who nearly elopes ^^ith
Forbes’ daughter, Angela, and an
efl'eminate millionaire who capti
vates Mrs. Forlies and threatens to
put her husband out of business.
Naturally none of this makes the
♦empestuous I^Ir. Forbes very haji-
py. But the perfect ending is
achieved wlien Dulcy’s brother, who
meets with everyone’s approval cx-
(U'i)t .Dulcy's, intercepts the scenar
ist as groom, and the millionaire
turns out to be a fake. Smith even
gets n raise from 10 per cent
to 125 per cent, which pleases Duley
immensely, because "a round num
ber sounds so much better.”
Though the plot is amusing, the
main attraction of the play is Pul
cy herself, whom Francis Ilackett
, of the New Kepublic, called "the
queen of platitudes — the girl with
the humanoid mind.” Mr. Ilackett
continued to say: "Messrs. Kauf-
mann and (Jonnelly very wisely
converted Dulcy from the world’s
most perfect exponent of familiar
quotation, the Bartlett of Suburbia,
to a kind of Mrs. Mala])rop whose
‘1 tihvays think’ went in with some
enormous fatuity of action.”
In our opinion the principal de
fect of the Little Theatre produc
tion was the nervoug distraction
with which Miss Ixlna Mossbruger
played the title role. It would have
been better had she impressed us
that Duley always thought she knew
exactly what to do and would calm
ly procced to do it. Other unfavor
able aspects of the local presenta
tion were a general lifelessness in
the first act and too much playing
downstage and behind the furniture.
Special laurels go to Clarke Bill
ings who gave a professional per
formance as Mr. Forbes, and to
Jim Johnson, the millionaire’s guar
dian, who gave a remarkable illus
ion of reality in the short time ho
was on the stage. Also in the cast
was Salemite Marian Markland as
Angela Forbes.
In an effort' to' learn something
of Dulcy’s past, we consulted Burns
Mantle, patron saint of all last min
ute reviewers, and gathered the fol
lowing gleanings. Dulcinea was
originally the product of Don
Quixote’s unpredictable fancy. Find
ing his lover’s real name too medi
ocre he changed it ot Dulcinea del
Toboso, "a name to his thinking,
harmonious, uncommon, and sig
nificant.” Hence, Dulcinea became
the literati’s synonym for wife or
mistress.
Over three hundred years later
in 3!*14 she reap])cared as the lead
ing character in The Conning Tower,
Franklin P. Adams’ column in the
New York Tribmie. Tliis was a sat
ire on the person who constantly
chatters in bromides with the naiv
ete and assurance of a really clev
er conversationalist. The column
proved so i^opular that Kaufmann
and Connelly dramatized it in 1921
and starred Lynn Fontaine as Dulcy
in Chicago and New York.
Just to complete our indebtedness
to Mr. Mantle we must quote- again:
"If Dulcy were writing a brief note
of acknowledgment to her play
wrights she would sign herself
(Mrs.) Gordon Smith, and she
would have her stationerj’ engraved
a bit elaborately, to indicate that
the Smiths lived, quietly but with
due regard for the social obligations
of the best people in Westehester
Coiint}^ and within easy commuting
distance of New York.” ^
