PAGE FOUR. THE SALEMITE Saturday, March 29, 1930. s HORSEBACK RIDING "Horses, lior.scs, I’m wild about horses!” Such was the speech of some dozen light-hearted maidens to ride” made tiieir way out to An derson’s farm hist Saturday after noon fo! a eross-country ride of about twelve miles out to Clemmons. Half of said group rode rat to the farm at Clemmons while the other half curbed their impatience, and waited until five o’clock when, ably assisted by Miss Virginia Martin and her car, and Miss “At” with the noble “Skippy,” they rode out to the farm, and fiad their horseback ride by moonlight. The first group tumbled off the firey steeds at the same time when the second crowd ar rived in the cars. The sun went down, and the air became chillier and chillier. A camp-fire was built on the side of the hill, and the famished damsels fell to with a will. O ye who do not even pretend to ride, take notice, and be filled with (^nvy. There were Imge and delicious weinies, there were piles of tomato sandwiches, great rolls stuffed with divine chicken salad, pickles, boiling coffee heated over the camp fire, and great pieces of home-made choco late pie—enough to make any maid cry “Enough, enough.” And the Salem lassies certainly hid that food, not a crumb was left, and the stuff ed ladies reposed on rugs in silence. Someone accidentally touched Thel ma Stortu, thereupon, she uttered a plantive “ow!” and retreated to the depths of her rug in divine agony. Two unusual happenings. One girl had never seen a still before, and another roas(ted he/r first wcinie. Well, live and learn! Along about seven o’clock, “At” betook herself and stirred us all to action. Everyone made dashes for scarfs and leather coats. With many admonitions and salty tears, Miss “At” handed over “Skippy’s” crank to Leo Wilder, who had valiantly volunteere^ to drive him honu-. Meanwhile, our second group were mounting. There were seven of us: Anne curbing her high-spirited Smokey; Carrington all smiles on Light-foot’s back; Lyda bending to do something or other to Wani’s saddle; Betty wait ing quietly on \ellie; Frances perch ed peeariously on the gay Darkness; and “At” Just mounting Chief. Add to these. Mr. Anderson riding Grace, and the, second gr(m}) is ready. The first gro«)) had been Anna Preston, Leo Wilder, '['helma Stortz. Kthel .\lcMimi. Beulah Mae Zackery, and .\raminta S.'wycr—brave (and sljiv- eringl) in her red and white habit. ■Vfter calling our thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Rondthaler, the first group sailed off in the cars, and we started on our two hour ride. It was fun! J'ust trotting along briskly, attempting to sing, yet quavering and breaking at every bump. It was- a marvelous night—the stars were all out, and the chilly wind was whistling aroimdi our leather jackets. At the farm house, where we dismounted, everytliing was light ed and it seemed queer after the dark ride. VV'e slid awkwardly from the saddles, and waddled around bow-legged, until the first stiffness passed,; 'Then we came back to school--very sore but content to a hot bath, and bed, and to dream, of a gigantic horse, w’ith weinies for ears, and Carrington feeding him ehickcn salad!.

The Prince w'as so intent on his picture that he failed to realize the danger. The crashed to the ground barely twenty yards from the camera. Other hunt ers had shouted a w'arning to the Prince, which he ignored and the picture was still being ground off when the great beast fell. Comrades of the native officer in charge of the Police at Sakkara, Egypt, consider thirteen his lucky number, since it was responsible for his getting an invitation to lunch with Queen Marie and Princess Ileana of Rumania. The Queen and Princess, while visiting the ancient monuments at Sakkara, were invited to luncheon by the head of an ex cavating party. They accepted, and on arriving discovered an unexpected guest had increased the number of diners to thirteen. The Queen hesi tated to sit down to a meal with a party of thirteen persons, so the native officer w'as summoned to join them. The luncheon w'as voted a complete success. • Sydney Franklin, of Brooklyn.
