Sponsored By Y. W. C. A.

.■\ letter, postmarked Iloslyn
Heights, was eagerly received on tho
Salem Campus the other day. It
came from a house called “Green
Escape.” Who but Christapher
Morley, could have thought of such
a delightful nnmo for his home! He
says in part;
I got back from a strenuous trip
late on Thanksgiving Eve, and this
Sunday I have to go out again,
though not very far: only to Chi
cago, Detroit, Toledo, etc. — all dull
yankeo towns, and undreaming of the
glamour of your l)lesscd Salem. Even
in those compassioned hours, I could
devine something of your lovely old
college: tho boxwood hedges by lov
ers leap; tho adorable ladies in their
Moravian dresses; tho Silvery Shiver
in tho bell-note; tho blend of books
and stained glass in tho library —
and so ranch, much more.
[ had all sorts of swell adventures
on tho train. I wish there were
time and chance to describe them:
even to. discovering that it was the
birthday of Mr. Pleasants, the brako-
man; that came from Guilford and
we had a mutual friend, a Guilford
boy who spmt a year in college with
me up in Pennsylvania.
As Ohristmus nears I shall think
affectionately of the place where the
Star still shines and wish 1 could
see tho Putz under tho tree. Please
know how grateful I was and am,
to you all; for the generous parcel
of souvenirs you mailed; for all tho
kindness of President and Mrs.
Rondthaler and the Blairs: for every
gay and sweet look and gesture to
the a.stonished alien.
Tell Dr. Rondthaler to warn his
guests not to fall backwards down
the steps into the guest-room when
they emerge slippery from tho tub
I didn’t, but might have I
Good luck to you all; as the Irish
poet said, “A blessing trotting be
fore and a blessing running be
hind”—
Yours,
Christopher Morley.
