WOMEN Women are what men marry and are known as the other half, The tool Ideas that they have would make any human laugh. Like all the brands of cigarettes they are the same under the wrapper, but some pose as a vir tuous saint and others run around as a flapper. If you flatter a woman she gets conceited and turns Into a haughty snob, but not to flatter one Is a crime and they think you low enough to rob. Yes, they are all the same and full of deceit, but they all try to pose as something just sweet. Take for in stance the one named Eve, who tried the whole world to deceive. And then came the famous Helen of Troy, who left hubby flat for only a boy. Then there was Cleo, the vamp of the Nile, who caused Mark to drink of a poison ous vial. But after all they are here to stay, till Gabriel sees fit to bring Judgment Day. Dear Eddie: In the prose above you try to make, all of us girls out to be just a fake. You have made wicked cuts and threw dirty mud, so read what’s below and come down with a thud. Flossie. MEN Men are what women marry, They have t\yo hands, and sometimes two wives, but never more than one idea at a time. Like Turkish cigarettes, men are all made of the same material. The only difference is that some are a little better disguised than others. Generally speaking, men may be divided into three classes, prizes, sur prises, and consolation prizes. Mak ing a husband out of man Is one of the highest plastic arts known to civiliza tion. It requires science, sculpture,' common sense, faith, hope and charity. 1C you believe him in everything, you soon cease to interest him, and if you argue With him in everything, he thinks you a fool. If you wear gay aolors and startling jewels, he won’t go out with you, but If you wear conserva tive colors and a gentle hat, he gets out with you and stares all evening at a girl in gay color.s and jewels. If you join him in alt his parties and approve of his drinking, he swears that you arc driving him to the dogs, and if you don’t approve of his drink- Ium: and urge Jilm to give up his parties, he vows that you are old fashioned, — YeUoic Jacket.

Itumombcr the big blue box on the lable In tlie Publication Olllce. "V Someone remarked to me just before I left home that she hadn't seen a cat for ages. I wish that person could have accompanied me to Meredith, She would only have had to say "Kitty!” and cats of every kind, and description would have come running from all corners. Surely there were never so many in one place. The queerest thing is how rapidly they seem to multiply. Just as I think I know every little tabby on the cam pus, suddenly a new one comes bound ing up to me, I have given up all hope of ever trying to keep up with any except a select tew. Even these give me quite a bit of trouble. Although you may think it strange when I say that cats have their serious social activities and cliques, they do. Have you ever been awake at night between the hours of twelve and three and heard a noise that sounded as If ten million violins were being played, all of them out of tune? If you are ever favored with a few selections you will know what I mean. That is the most distinguished clique on the cam pus, a club of artistic Bohemians, com monly known as the "Meredith Sere- naders,” Only members of the stronger sex are taken In, and certain nights in each week they may be heard prac ticing for their next concert. The most exclusive social set on the campus is the young married crowd. They hold afternoon teas and informal parties on the court. If tlie party is very informal, you may see also, several gay young scions of these first families frolicking about under their mother’s w£^tchful eye. (If you are ever invited to any of these you are in society!) Some nights when the moon Is very bright these yo\ing matrons and their l)ctter halve^y^romena^le in full dress upon the court. Between the dormitories on very warm days may be seen the old ladies in their caps of lace drinking their catnip tea and sunning themselves. Those occasions, however, are few and far between. It is rumored about the campus that there is a certain very artistocratic lady who refuses to associate with any of her neiglibors nor will she allow her young daughter to appear in Meredith society. Whether this is because she lives ill a mansion and thus looks d.own on those below her or what not we do not know. Of course this may bo only a rumor and not entirely true. In every society there are some who don’t and never will help. While they are not total outcasts, they have no caste. Tills jiarticular set of cats that do not belong haunt the dining-room constantly. Every day as one steps out of the door she is met by a swarm ot cats, cats, cats, with tlieir tails carved in big question marks and the eternal question in their eyes, “When do wo oat—afiain?” You must be care ful that tlioy do not trick you into pitying them with their gaunt frames and hungry eyes, They are clever, these cats. And chivalrous, too, they are, as I found out by bitter experience. Com ing out of Dormitory 0 one day, I very unexpectedly chanced upon a little tete-a-tete—in fact, so unexpectedly that I trod on the tail of the lady of the party (as [supposed), Immediately the gallant gentleman rushed at me with the glint of anger In his steel grey eyes and a menacing look In his steel-liko claws, I tell you, 1 was lucky to escape with my life, if not with my dignity! Since then 1 have been more careful. In truth, one inu.st be carel'ul not to trainplo on either the tails or the dig nity of these cat friends of ours. ’Tls true they are guilty of disturbing tho peace of our I'ampus with their plain- (Ive mews ano blood curdling yells but do tlioy not also break the monotony of campus life? Indeed Meredith would not be Meredith without her cats!
