LITTLE THOUGHTS
FOR TODAY
‘‘To be true—first to myself
—and just and merciful. To
be kind and faithful in the lit
tle things. To be brave with
the bad; openly grateful for
good; always moderate. To
seek the best, content with
what I find — placing princi
ples above persons and rights
above riches. Of fear, none;
of pain, enough to make mjy
joys stand out; of pity, some;
of work, a plenty; of faith in
God and man, much; of love,
all.”
—Leigh Mitchell Hodges.

ADJUSTMENTS
IJfe is full of adjustments—
simple and otherwise. Adjustments
begin from the time one finds
world beyond his or her nursery
walls, and ends only with the termi
nation of existence upon this earth.
In this continual process Character
is either built up or torn down; de
pending largely on the broadness
of one’s views, the strength of
determination, and the nature of
one’s outlook on life and the people
with whom there is inevitable
taet.
A good many of us are finding
ourselves the part of a great system
in which our self-reliance is strongly
taxed, and perhaps for the first
time we are just—finding ourselves.
The daily routine is changed, is or
derly and scheduled in detail; the
people on every hand are new, a
consequently, whether consciously
not, we ourselves are changing to
meet the new demand.
The beginning of a college career
is a turning point of life. The way
should be begun w^ith a clear, im
partial mind and an open heart, to
gether with a stout determination to
make the best of every opportunity.
Be friendly and scatter smiles.
I.et a kind word drop and watch it
dispel a frown. Be a leader and
not a follower, but above all—he
yourself, and you will find the path
way full of pleasant surprises.
These are all adjustments greatly
needed because we are now touch
ing more people than we ever have
before. If the joints are rusty, ap
ply the necessary oil, and you will
find yourself slipping into the new
life with ease and enjoying it!

A PLEA FOR SQUIRTLESS PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL
GRAPEFRUIT PASSES NEW RULES
I wake up in the morning
Feeling wondrously wise
And tackle first the grapefruit
Which threatens both my eyes.
I shield them with precaution.
Extract the fruit with care;
Imagine my great sorrow
When juice squirts in my hair.
Then feeling quite contrary
I give another jab—
Success at last awards me
With another painful stab.
When eating in the morning
Tlie thing that I despise
Is starting in a day’s work
With grapefruit in my eyes.
—Reidsville Review

“IN THE DAYS OF BICY
CLES AND BUSTLES
In assembling and editing for
publication extracts from the diaries
he kept during the tw'enty-seven
years between Queen Victoria’s gol
den jubilee and the day war was
declared between Great Britain and
Germany, .Mr. Blumenfield must
have been depressed by the frequent
inaccuracy of his own friends’ pro
phecies. He was a young men, rep
resenting James Gordon Bennett in
London during the turn of tlie cen
tury. He appears to have known a
great many people of consequence,
and to have been impressed by most
of them.
His diaries record a great variet}'
of conversations and activities. In
June, 1887, Mr. Blumenfield is told
that most everybody in Scotland
plays golf—except on Sundays,
when they all go to the kirk—and
that it is the most absorbing, most
exciting, most concentrating, and
most healthful pastime ever known.
“To all of w-liich,” he writes, “I
lent a respectful but doubting ear.
If it is such a wonderful game,
why is it that only tlie Scots play
it? From his description it ap
pears that you strike a ball a long
way and then walk after it and do
In October, 1900, he writes: “I.a-
dies who persist in riding bicycles
in long skirts must expect to get
hurt. I saw a liandsome Junoesque
figure today, dressed in laces and
flounces, riding on a bicycle in
Sloane Street. Her skirt became en
tangled and she came down witli a
crash. My tailor tells me that wom
en flatly refuse to wear short skirts
for fear of e.xposing their legs. A
few days later he records the scan
dalous fact that “one of the actresses
at tlie Criterion last niglit wore a
pair of white .stockings.” Later,
“The fashion writers are agitated
about the suggestion that women’s
skirts .should be shorter. . . I have
received a note from Paquin on
this subject to the effect that short
skirts are ‘ungraceful and unbecom
ing, and so distinctly inconvenient.’ ”
This short skirt is a meretricious
two inches from the floor, and was
designed for convenience in muddy
weather. But the short skirt, to be
safely let alone in muddy weather,
needs to be at least-six inclies off
the ground, and wlio, Mr. Blumen
field demands, dares to wear it?
Such eomment.s are given along
with entertaining comments on new
hooks, societv, the tlieater, and Eng
land’s ever-important politics. They
are diverting and cleverly presented
in this diarv.
