Behind the palace lay a dark and intimi- ating forest. In order to prove what a brave king he was, this king, who was called Leroy by his friends (and Mr. Moto by his subjects), sent out a courtier every day to ride thru the forest and show the subjects that there was really noth ing bad about the big black forest after all. This was a devilish good scheme except occassionally Leroy, or Mr. Moto as he was better know, had complaints from the wives of these noble courtiers because not one ever returned. one day with the report that the on day with the report that the day before her husband hadn’t re turned from the forest and she was rather peeved. Mr. Moto was then encouraged at the point of several million shining swords to go him self into the forest. And so early the next night Leroy kissed Ludic rous, his wife, goodbye and set off. His trip was not entirely unsuc cessful for when he neared the cen ter of the woods there he found a deep blue lake and in addition to this discovery he found his brave warriors in a veritable harem of well dressed and undressed beauties. For a long time Moto feasted his kingly eyes on such splendor. There Were red heads and blondes, curly heads and straight heads but the nicest part, the part that just thrilled King Leroy Moto thru and thru was the clothes. There was a tall blond in a Mayfair plaid reefer With a belted back and a gathered skirt behind. (1)—Then there was a trickie little brunette in a red and white stripped cotton dress . short circular skirt and sleeveless jerkin buttoned under the arm. (2)—Across the lake he saw a very inappropriate but delectable house coat made like old-fashioned sailor dresses with big collars and big skirt. (3)—But suddenly Mr. Moto turned around and nearly dropped his shiny sword. There stood a dream in a white accordion pleated bathing suit. (4)—Miss Dream saw Mr. Moto too; and not knowing that he was king and not knowing about Ludicrous, his wife who was a shrew in her own way, not know ing all of these things Miss Dream drew him cordially into the little group around the lake. When the noble warriors and the big brave soldier boys saw who it was they shouted with one accord, “Ches it . . . the King.” And with that the beautiful beauties bounced into the bubbling billows. “I’ve got to get to the bottom of this,” shouted Mr. Moto. “Get to work you sorry WPA scoundrels, get to work and empty the lake.” For days they worked. Bucket by bucket they emptied the lake until finally nothing was left except Ihe bevy of mermaids crouched to gether at the bottom of the lake. Mr. Moto looked at them for a long minute, then he descended with dignity to the bottom of the lake. He settled himself comfortably on a root beside the maidens, looked up at his quizzical knights and shouted . . . “Now throw the water back boys.” (1)—Gimbel’s, about $25. (2)—^Jacard’s. (3)—Montaldos. (4)—Lord and Taylor, about $10. E. S. C. I HAVE ONLY JUST A MINUTE “I have only just a minute. Only sixty seconds in it. Forced upon me, can’t refuse it. Didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it; But it’s up to me to use it. I must suffer if I lose it, Give account if I abuse it. Just a tiny little minute. Yet eternity is in it.” —Author Unknown.

It is the darling pet of her who strokes its silver electric fur: and whispers slyly “Eun, oh run, discover what My friend has done! You can tell sweet tales if you but hurry! Purr and pry, my pet, and scurry!” Gossip’s a mouse with beady eyes and sharp small teeth and little cries. TROPic TRANSFORMATION “TOBACCOLAND” OFFERED BY CHESTERFIELD “Tobaccoland, U. S. A.”—pro bably the most complete picture- story of tobacco farming and cigarette manufacture ever pub lished—is offered free to the public Liggett and Myers Tabacco Company in its new Chesterfield cigarette campaign. The new 42-page, 14-inch book illustrates the growing, curing and processing of tobacco, as well as scenes from the typical life of the southern tobacco country, with over 100 large photographs and drawings and interesting story cap tions. It is already in use by col leges and libraries in many parts of the country, and the public of fer has been made as a result of this great demand. Copies of the book will be sent to individuals or groups on request to Liggett and Myers Tobacco Com pany, 630 Fifth Avenue, New York, N. Y. The new Chesterfield campaign, to appear in newspapers from coast to coast, features such celebrities as Ann Sheridan and Ellen Drew of motion picture fame, Carol Bruce of the New York musical hit “Louisi ana Purchase,” and Mary Jane Yeo and J oAnn Dean, star skaters from “It Happens On Ice.'' Brilliant new point-of-sale dealer displays will follow the colorful Chesterfield Christmas displays now in dealers’ windows, and the new schedule will also be supported by national billboard showings. The popular Chesterfield radio shows, Fred Waring's “Pleasure Time” and Glenn Miller's “Moon- light Serenade'' will continue to entertain millions of listeners on cosat-to-coast networks. The coral reefs in the distance, the sound of the waves gently wash, ing up on the shor,e the warm golden sand, the tall straight palm trees silhoutted against the in tense blue tropical sky, and the music of guitars in the distance were all part of the picture which Suzy seemed to ignore with a so phisticated indifference as she stretched out on the sand to acquire another -coating of her already beautiful bronze tan, shown off to marvelous advantage by her white suit, which, we might add, also, to no mean advantage a nice pro portion of Suzy herself. She was easily the most attractive girl on the beach, and certainly the most interesting to those numerous young men, when the surveyed simply as part of th elandscape. Sophisti cated Suzy, to put it plainly, was the envy of all women and the answer to the prayer of all men. As Suzy lay there dreaming, per haps of the heavenly tropical nights, when she herself was the “belle of every ball,” of her con quest of the young movie actor who rhumbaed so divinely, of all the other sophisticated things such so- pihsticated girls as Suzy dream about, he seemed to smile to her self, a glamouous smile. Suddenly Suzy was awaked by the inture heat of the sun—but it wasn't the tropic sun of Hiwaii under which she was lying; no, it was only the sunlamps, beating down on her al ready burning face. Dashing to the mirror the last threds of sophisti cated Suzy disappeared, and in her glamorous place stood, sun- burned, blistered little Suzy, now a lovely new lobster shade; and this Suzy wasn’t beautiful, or ???????? or even to be admired. Eight there two big,salt tears rolled down S^uzy's burning little face, as round as the moon, but now resembeling the sun at mid-day, when the sun shone—but this day it was raining, a cold January rain. I DARE SAY GRILLED SANDWICHES — rODTNTAlN — MORRIS SERVICE (Next To Carolina Tbeatre AIK CONDITIONED “Exclnslve Bat Not EzpensiTe” Evening Fashions for the Year’s Gayest IDEAL - We«t 4tb St. (That it really is quite gratifying to see a fair representation of the Student Body of Salem College in Chapel these days. Just to be different, I think Til take all my cuts in the next three weeks and attend Chapel dutifully during exams in May. That usually the teacher is just as embarassed as the pupil when someone falls asleep on class. Howsomever the inimitable Dr. Anscombe, blared forth in Modern World History at the sleeping Frances Yelverton, “You Sinner, don't you know yon shouldn't go to sleep in the middle of Greenland? You might freeze to death." Then everyone laughed mer rily, including Dr. Anscombe and Frances (maybe she doesn't know she sleeps with her mouth open). That Salem is wide open for invasion, for next Tuesday we will lunch some 150 South Americans who are studying at Chapel Hill, and that evening will hear the long anticipated Mj. Leland Stowe, — some body is going to have a busy day. That it’s a well known fact that brides or about-to-be brides are supposed to be rattle-brained. Margaret Hollbrook has broken the pre cedent by making all A’s on her work this semester. In fact, she even made A on Marriage. She was afraid that she might make a bad grade and that MJss Covington would stand up at the wedding and say, “I object, the bride flunked my Marriage Course.” That all you loyal North Carolinians should enjoy reading “Eal- eigh's Eden," 'specially if you’ve .been swimming in the Ohowan, passed through Hillsboro on the way to football games, and eaten ham sand wiches at the foot of General Nathaniel Greene’s statue at Guilford Battleground. The book is definitely not profound, but it’s good publicity for the Old North State. Old father time has been very busy The hours have ticked away The days have passed like minutes And we can no longer stay. Of course we’ll come back and visit you. But that wouldn’t ease our pains We want to be with you daily And learn lessons over again. But if in this building, Our feet no longer may trod We'll go on afld do our duty And leave the rest to God. —Gladys E. Thacker. As a tall, athletic-looking young man entered the room he was greet ed by many friends. “A popular young man?” asked a stranger of his neighbor. “Yes,” was the reuly. “He dis tinguished himself when the circus was here.” “In wha tway?” asked the stranger. “A lion escaped and, when every body was yelling and trying to get away, he walked calmly to the lion’s cage and shut himself in side. ’ ’—Goblin, Canada.
