ONE MORE YEAR One year ago the new officers were coming in. Now they are leaving. At the offset they were fresh and full of ideas. They looked for ward to the work before them. I.ooking at the past they saw weak points which they thought that they should overcome. What was there to keep them from accomplishing more than had ever been accomplished be- Now that short year has passed. Maybe it has been generally success ful, yet each one sees where she could have been better. There have come up problems that were unex pected. If there were more time, oth er things might be done. But no. The time is up. The work must go into the hands of others who feel now as the retiring officers felt a year ago. INDUSTRIAL GROUP HAS ITS LAST MEETING The Industrial Group of the Y. W. C. A. had its last meeting on Tuesday night in the recreation room of I.ouisa Wilson Bitting build ing. At that time the work of the year was finished. At the first there had been some discussion of the work of the In dustrial Groups throughout the na tion. At the last meeting Miss Mae Cook told of the summer sehools for the working girls. 'I'he movement has spread. Every summer girls attend these sessions, taking courses in economies, Eng lish, and other subjects. There are various ways of raising money for this. The girls themselves pay a portion of their expenses. Salem Y. W. C. A. is the only college “Y” in N. C. or Virginia that does not con tribute to this fund. THE GARDEN PARTY Katherine Mansfield Whether the real significance of a life is in the many years of prosaic existence or whether it is in the few isolated moments of being outside existence and even of personality is an age-old question which has per haps no answer. But Katherine Mansfield has answered that question more satisfactorily than the majority of people ever do. 'The Garden Party is a recollection of varied moments in the lives of dif ferent people at a time when they are no longer their familiar well- known selves. It is not exaltation which they experience but a much truer thing—an opening of conscious ness which has been closed before. Katherine Mansfield knows the in finite value of the trifles which may change a life completeh'. Perhaps the greatest tribute that can be given to any writer should be given to Katherine Mansfield who can catch moments and glimpses of truth and make them endure for all Mother’s Day Cards ♦ SALEM BOOK STORE s *tk] s, omemin^ to A friend of CHESTERFIELD writes us of a salesman who had "something to say”: "1 dropped into a little tobacco shop, and when I asked for a pack of Chest erfields the man smiled and told me I was the seventh customer without a break to ask for Chesterfields. 'Smoker after smoker,’ he said, 'tells me that Chesterfields click ... I sell five times as many Chesterfields as I did a while back,’ ” Yes, there’s something to say about Chest erfields and it takes just six words to say it—"They’re mild and yet they satisfy.”
