“Poetry is the sharing of life, the sharing of any
of life’s strong, rich, vivid, or lovely experiences, in pat
terns of ninsieal words.”
—ilargiierite Wilkinson.
While I seek you far away,
(Yesterday, yesterday,)
Wakeful since we laughed and
parted.
How can I recover
Joy that made Elysian-hearted,
Loved and lover?
Can my night-long thoughts re
gain
Time-clacked loveliness and
laughter f
Can your presence in my brain
Be rebuilt such aeons after?
Can it be so far away —
Yesterday, yesterday?
—Siegfrid Sassoon.
I have wrapped my dreams in a
silken cloth,
And laid them away in a box of
gold;
Where long will cling the lips of
the moth,
I have wrapped my dreams in a
silken cloth;
I hide no hate; I am not even
wroth
Who found earth’s breath so keen
and cold;
I have wrapped my dreams in a
silken cloth,
DISILLUSION
It is when the eyes are aching
W’ith a passion of unshed tears,
It is when the heart is breaking
For the vision that disappears,
It is when the harsh gate clashes
On the gweetest hope we know,
Truth from the darkness flashes,
And we welcome her even so.
—Katharine Lee Bates.
“ . . . And when slow rain
Fell cold upon him as upon hot
fuel.
It might as well have been a rain
of oil
On faggots round some creature
at a stake.
For all the quenching there was
in it then
Of a sick sweeping heat consum
ing him
With anguish of intolerable loss,
Which might be borne if it were
only loss. ’ ’
—Edwin Arlington Robinson,
In Tristram.
And laid them away in a box of
gold.
Countess Cullen.

“Poetry deals with primal and
conventional things — the hunger
for bread, the love of W'oman, the
love of children, the desire for im
mortal life. If men really had new
sentiments, poetry could not deal
with them. If, let us, say, a man
did not feel a bitter craving to eat
broad; but did, by way of substitute,
feel a fresh, original craving to eat
brass fenders or mahogany tables,
poetry could not express him. If
man, instead of falling in love with
a woman, fell in love with a fossil
or a sea anemone, poetry could not
express him Poetry can only ex
press what is original in one sense —
the sense in which we speak of orig
inal sin. It is original, not in the
paltry sense of being new, but in
the deeper sense of being old; it is
original in the sense that it deals
with origins.”
—G. K. Chesterton,
in Robei’t Browning.
BEAUTY HINTS
Skins Need More Than
Spring Cleanings
Most of the experts who write
pages on “Health and Beauty” for
the magazines agree on the way to
I acquire a “schoolgirl complexion.”
They say, “keep it clean!” This
sounds simple, but we who go at the
pace required in a college existence
know that it is not. Therefore, there
is set down here, for your benefit, a
program to be followed every night.
If you do this regularly, abstain
from stuffing with your room-mate’s
chocolates, get as much sleep, exer
cise, and water as possible for a
month, we guarantee a decided im
provement in your complexion, and
probably you will find that those
annoying “hickies” have disap
peared.
First, get your face and neck clean
with the best cream you know (and
can afford), and wipe it off with
cleansing tissues. Then wring out
some little pads of cotton in hot wa
ter, and keep patting them on your
nose and forehead and chin, where
those pesky blackheads appear. That
is to get your skin all relaxed.
After that, dip a fairly soft com
plexion brush in tepid water and
work a lather of soap over your skin
with the brush. Don’t be really
rough about it; make little half-cir-
cle motions up each cheek and across
the forehead, firmly but gently.
^ After your skin is good and clean,
if you h^ve little dry places on
your cheek bones or nose, put a lit
tle cream there and around your
eyes to keep the squint wrinkles
I away. In the morning, use more of
the cream and lots of splashing with
cold water. This is for normal skin.
Oily skin should go slow on the
creams, strong on soap and water—
cold water. Dry skin does well to
cream well and often.
If suspieious-looking little bumps
are popping out on the part of your
back which will be quite conspicuous
this summer in your evening dresses
and bathing suit, take a word of
warning: Ask the family to for
ward the ancestral bath brush (the
one with the stiff bristles and long
curved handle), and scrub, scrub,
scrub! Use soap and w'ater, and
pay some attention to this long neg
lected spot. When you are drying
off, take the roughest linen-towel
you have, and rub your back till it
tingles.

Notes on New Books
The State-wide beauty contest will
be held in Winston-Salem, March
28th, 29th. Girls representing dif- (
ferent cities and towns throughout'
North Carolina will spread their
best feathers before judges. One
girl w’ill be chosen from this group
of brilliant creatures who represent
the stateliest, prettiest dames in ex
istence, and she will step' upon the
highest beauty pedestal to be crown
ed.
Pencils whose writing is visible in
the dark have appeared in London.
1st Unknown: “J. L. has the face
of a Saint’’
2nd Unknown: “Yea, a Saint Ber
nard.”

A co-ed attended a dance in his
pajamas. Evidently expected to

Ous So-and-So is drinking butter
milk since the meeting of the jar
association. (It’s like calling the
Salvation Army, the Starvation
Army.)
It’s more honorable to succeed
under no restrictions than it is to be
forced to be good. Take S. Carolina
and Clemson for instance.

Here’s a hobby for college profs:
checking up on the weights of cam
pus dames.
One Woolworth love note sent to a
prof. on February 14th thrilled him
because it said “You big-out-of-

Bestowing orchards to theses and

worthwhile — the giving of our
selves to help others lire and conse
quently helping ourselves to live
also.
She closed by reading an instance
in the life o f Christ recorded by
Luke in Luke 7:11-15 which illus
trates the ability of our Lord to sym
pathize with everyone he' met. It
is the story of the widow whose son
had died “and when the Lord saw
her He had compassion on her, and
said unto her, Weep not. And he
came and touched the bier: . . . .
and He said, young man, I say unto
thee, arise. And he that was dead
sat up and began to speak. And he
delivered him to his mother.”
At Temple University a wiseacre
at !Mid-term found he could make
rhyme by saying “I feel futile,”
and all the college sounds nutz,
nertz, or nuts on the subject. (Some
more language difficulties).
The verse is:
“I feel futile:
Like a book without a reader,
Like a taxi less a meter.
Like a quiz without a cheater,
I feel futile.
I feel futile:
Like a sale without commissions,
Like a war without munitions,
Like Dionne with more additions,
I feel futile.
Even the alumnae started sending
in similar verses, until it became a
part of Extra curricula activities.
Do you keep up with the newest
books that are constantly coming
into the Library? Perhaps you
thought that after you had read
“Anthony Adverse,” you were well-
prepared to attend any dinner party,
or to take part in intellectual dis
cussions. But you w^ill find your
self wishing that you’d stayed at
home when your dinner partner asks
you if you’ve read “Life Begins
At Forty” or if you enjoyed reading
Edna St. Vincent Millay’s latest
poems. Books like these ranging
from light fiction to the best liter
ature are being gradually added to
the Library collection.
One book which should appeal to
all of us students, but espcially to
the Seniors, is “New Careers for
Youth,” by Walter B. Pitkin. la it
the job outlook of today for men
and women from 17 to 32 years of
age is discussed, and sound, practical
suggestions are made. “From a Col
lege Window by A C. Benson, and
“The Art of Thinking,” by Dimnet,
tw-o books suggested by Dean Robert
House in his talk in Chapel several
weeks ago, are both on th shelves,
waiting to be read.
One much-prized addition to the
Library is the translated edition of
“The German Classics of the 19th
ad 20th Centuries,” edited by Kuno
Francke, and containing the master
piece^ of German literature. The
good part about this set of books is
that those of us who cannot “sprech-
n Dutsch ” can form an intimate
friendship with such men as Heine,
Schiller, Schopenhauer, Goethe and
Hauptmann.
To turn to light reading, we find
phat P. G. Wodehouse’s “Leave it
to Psinith has just arrived. If you
want your affairs managed, or vour
dog (?) taken for a run, “Leave it
to Psmith,” and you will get a
big laugh out of it. Theodore
Dreiser is represented in the Library
in “Jennie Gerhardt,” (a very en
tertaining repres^’utative, too.)
These few books mentioned are
appetizers to th main cours that fol
lows. Be the first person to read
these books, so that you yean enjoy
telling others about them..

only man who ever left the office of
President of the United States more
popular than when he entered it.
He was a fighter through and
through. From attacking Indians,
and saving New Orleans, he went on
to fight for the presidency and to
win in his second campaign.
The only experience of moment
he can be said to have omitted from
his life was a visit to Salem Callege,
or a night spent here, or a drink
from a spring on the lawn of what
was then Salem Female Academy.
