to me how writers write. 1 mean,
how do you think of all those things
that you must write about? She
leaned very close to him.
Well, vou have to get a central
idea. Then you have to map out
a uniform story, always remember
ing to make it appealing and vivid
to the reader. Then you ... I
swear I know that girl over there,
lie pointed to a girl sitting alone
at a table on the other side of the
cafe.
"Forget it. 1 said already. You
were telling me about writing.
She grasped his hand.
"Oh, ves; W ell, one thing every
writer must remember is to be
realistic. You simply have to be
believable. Actually your style
should evolve into . . . Look, she's
getting lip and coming over here.
She sei's i:s.
"So what! kiss me, Stanlc\
"No, not here. I . . . gasp.
She kissed him violently
right in the French Cafe.
The other girl drew near to the
table and said, "Why Stanley Ko
walski, what a pleasant surprise
it is to see you again. It's been so
long. And who is this with you?"
She pulled up a chair and sat
down beside Stanley, opposite the
girl in red. She was wearing a very
skimpv, green bathing suit sort of
thing with a bit of cheese-cloth
wrapped around her waist.
"Oh, that's Miss O Ilarem . . .
Miss Scarlet () Ilarem. Ihe two
girls looked at each other for a few
moments, but they didn t speak.
At last the girl in green turned
to him and said, "Stanley, how did
vou tear your T-shirt?
"Gosh, I didn't even know it was
torn. 1 wonder how that did hap
pen. Had you noticed it. Scarlet?"
"Yes, I noticed.
"I'll just have to get that fixed.
Gosh, and it was a brand new-
T-shirt.
"Have you read any good books
lately, Stanley?" asked the girl in
green.
"Yes, 1 read an excellent book on
underwater chemical formations by
Dr. Harvey Aqua Lung. It was very
interesting. Have you read any
thing recently?
"No, nothing of importance.
Stanley, why don't you come over
to my table for awhile, where we
can talk?

"Oh, I'd like to, but I'm afraid
Scarlet and I w ill have to go soon. j
I really must get back and change
|my T-shirt. It's ripped rather j
badly."
"No we aren't going soon. Stan- ;
ley, interrupted Scarlet. "We camel
to enjoy an evening here together, j
and no one is going to run us off."
"Well, maybe you'll give me one J
little kiss before I return to m\
table, huh. Stanlev? said the girl
in green.
"No, lie will not."
"Who asked you, Scarlet girl!
The both grabbed at Stanlej j
and then at each other and then
once more at Stanley. He pulled j
and tried to get awav.
"Quit. Stop. You're tearing my
T-shirt more! he shouted.
Finally they stopped fighting and
stood gazing at Stanley. His T-shirt
was in shreds.
I he girl in green spoke. "I didn't
know you had that tattoo on your
chest, Stanley.
"Yes, it's a rose," he replied.
"Let me touch it?" she said as
she reached forward.
"Keep your cotton-pickin hands
oil him,' screamed Scarlet, and she
grabbed Stanley and stood in front
ol him. "Now go away. Leave us
alone."
Ihe girl in green looked down
at the floor in despair. Her green
bathing suit was even skimpier than
before. She said, "All right. Good
bye to both of you. I'm sorry about
the way I acted. Good-bye Stanlev.
I'll probably never see you again."
She started walking slowlv awav.
"No, don't go away. We've all
been acting like children," he ex
plained. "Sheer foolishness. There's
absolutely no reason why we can't
be mature and understanding. Man
must learn to grow above his ani
mal instincts and to seek a culture I
that will enable him to live in the j
most civilized manner. Why. before
tonight, I would never have
dreamed such a thing as this could
possibly have occurred."
The three of them sat down at
the table. Everything was very

do you think about the segregation
issue?
"Terrible," said Scarlet. "What
right do the French have' to go to
school with the English?"
"You'd better not talk so loud,"
said the girl in green. "Some of
these French people might get the
wrong impression. I wouldn't want
you to he embarrassed."
"Thank you. I almost forgot
where I was. She looked at Stan-
Icy. 'Stanley, I don t like to bring

"Stanley, gentlemen do not wear
T-shirts in public places. It is not
in good taste. I think you should

"But . .
"There is absolutely no excuse

"I thoroughly agree," said the girl
in green.
"I'll never do it again," he prom

to the campus yet. 1 don't want to
go. I want to stav here with you
all."
"Look, the waiter is coming over
here," said the girl in green.
The waiter walked erect and
determinedly, straight to their
table.
"I'm sorry, young man, but your
appearance is forbidding. You must
leave this cafe at once. The lady
who is in charge demands that men
students must wear white shirts,
ties, and coats to dinner."
"Hut how about this girl in the
skimpy green bathing suit?
"Hmmmm . . . she's cute.
"Yes, but according to the rule,
| what difference does that make?"
"Man, are you asking me to

to define the indefinable? This girl
j dressed in green brings out my

Stanley thought for a moment.
"Waiter, I must admire you for
your splendid reasoning. You have
sought and found. This is a realistic
example showing how individuals
with completely different philoso
phies can be united in happiness.

"Where, Stanley?"
