Flitti'n' Around
With SARAH THOMPSON
Visiting Around
Bet y’all can’t guess what I’ve been
doing this week. Nope, wrong again.
I’ve turned detective! Sad, but true.
Anyway—to get down to uttermost
facts, I’ve been flittin’ around exam
ining rooms, and whew—I’ve really
hit some gosh-all messes. I got in
one certain room in South and had
to back out. Yep ! No kiddin’, couldn’t
even turn around. The occupants
(you guessed it). Flea and I.,aura say
they’ve been living otf love and
“dopes” and the room showed it.
(I won’t specify just what kind of
dopes they mean but I hear they’re
nothin’ to write home about). Some
MEN-u don’t you think?
But to get back to the rooms—
after plunging in and out among
hones, stray cold cream jars and
scarfs of various colors, I managed
to scramble into the room next door
and found that the owner was no
doubt an artist. The walls were
simply papered with pictures of beau
tiful (?) gals, some of whom I rec
ognized. Virginia Hickman was there
posed in her usual position, sprawled
across her bed with her profile mashed
between the covers of the latest movie
magazine—quite typical of the aver
age American girl, I thought. Then
there were Janet Allen, Margaret
Glenn, Bebe McQueen, Flora Mac
Donald, and scads of others all twist
ed up in the most heart-rending of
fashions. I asked Lela how long
it took her to sketch them and she
said, “Oh, ten minutes if they don’t
get fidgety.” After looking over all
the pictures I decided to make my
exit, as time was fleeting and there
were hundreds yet to visit.
I was muttering good-byes in pay
most charming tone wlien I suddenly
found myself landing in a most beau
tiful backbend with the most ador
able little bluebirds beating out “Pop
corn Man” in my ears. No doubt
the pose was a beaut because the ter
rified artist was yelling “hold it!”
for all she was worth. I found that
the cause of the fall had been due
to tlie misfortune of Lela. Upon
nailing the pictures on the wall, she
had aimed at the thumb tack but
hit only the thumb—so from thumb
to bandage and from bandage to my
It
foot (are you following me?)
was just like.that!
After all my most extraordinarily
unhappy adventures with Southern
hospitality I decided to go North and
fare better. There I preyed upon
my dear Margie who as usual had a
box of chocolates waiting just for me.
The victrola was raring to go so
down I sat. It’s really surprising the
way candy does go. Anyway, I
noticed an unusually good collection
of pennants displayed, as well as a
picture gallery of famous men col
lected during Margie’s life history.
Then I felt the desire to know
whether or not Lib and Nancy had
changed their beds again. “Slap me
for a loop” they had! The beds were
arranged in a most fascinating and
yet wholly annoying position. They
were jammed against the
window seat. Overhead was a
lovely display of articles on an ever
present clothesline, so that when one
lookeil upward she was face to face
with anything from Brother Bob’s
sox to Aunt Fanny’s shawl. It’s
really quite unusual, I’d say.
Oh, by the way. Lil and Jenny
Lynn were having a tangerine sale
in their room. Lil’s motto. So I
hear, is “Sale or Stale”—so they
sole! Jenny Lynn ate 15 in 16
minutes and Lil ate 16 in 20. That’s
what I call eating up your profit!
Finally I ambled on over to Mor
rison and by force of habit stalked
into the famous suite of Queens.
This is the suite in which was written
the stunt which won the cup, and in
which there have been romances, and
when I say romances I don’t mean
dime ones. Ladies—and—well, ladies,
I give you, the suite of Miles, Lib,
Boots, .lean and Mary!
The walls of this famous suite are
adorned with the remnants of past
stunt nights and wild parties. The
floors are covered with—well, right
TKacker’s

offhand I couldn’t say—but anything
within or without reason. The table
covers, which are of red oil cloth,
are artistically figured with the
names of “eligibles” written in white
ink. Among the eligibles are Jack,
Martin, David, and Ralph. On the
walls, too, are certain New Year’s
resolutions, all of which have the
words nearly, always, or almost. The
entire suite is a lovely picture de
picting the life of any abnormal
Queen’s girl.
I firmly staggered back to my
own hangout and discovered that I
was surely slipping. While examin
ing other rooms I had failed to
notice mine. To be absolutely frank,
my room is in a most deplorable con
dition and for the sake of those who
wish to enter therein, I will shovel
off the walk!

Fashion Hints
As the. campus takes on hints of
Spring, one’s fancy turns to thoughts
of new clothes. Tliere is a distinct
1939 character to the Spring fashions.
Color will be accentuated. Melting
blue, dusty pink, jade green, sunglow
yellow, mauve and lavender will be on
tlie color chart. All of these, how
ever, are soft shades and they will
blend together well without the
brightness of last season.
For early Spring, light woolen suits
and coats are appearing. They are
definitely on tlie sporty side. The
“silhouette is square and the hemline
is swing.” Many bright scarfs and
otlier trimmings will be worn. Hand-
stitching seems to be a pet of the
season.
Evening dresses are very alluring
in their blending of the old-fashioned
hoop-skirt with the modern strapless
mode. Tlielr billowing folds are
enough to make “Plain Jane” into
Dashing Dolly.” Queens girls will do
their part in making clothes news
this spring.
By the way, as a parting shot, you
know by now that hair-up and strap
less evening dresses are gradually
on the wane. But the very latest i^
the strapless bathing suit. Of course
we’ll admit tliat this is getting a bit
ahead of tlie season, but then, you’ll
probably be amazing your family and
acquiring your sun tan in one this
summer, so we suggest that you be
gin now to round out those bony
places in your neck and shoulders so
you can step right into one when that
glorious summer ahead does rolJ
around.

Theme Is Selected
The annual May Day fete presented
by the Athletic Association under the
direction of Miss Cordelia Hender
son, will be presented this year on
Friday, May 5, at which time Marjorie
Timms wfill be crowned as May Queen
bv Sallv McDowell as mald-of-honor.
The story which will be enacted
by students of the physical education
department is based on an old legend
that if one plants a garden which
flourishes, one’s love affair will have
a bappj" ending. The setting will be
in an old-fashioned garden. A dainty
little lady will plan her garden in the
hope that her love affair will end
liappily. As her gardeners in dark
pants and gaily-colored smocks come
out to measure off and plant the
garden, the little lady goes to sleep
and dreams of her garden with blue
bells, violets, brown-eyed Susans, and
prim precise pinks. Costumes are
designed to suggest these flowers.
Other characters will include an un
invited poppy dancing gaily among
the flowers, a caterpillar and a frog
disputing their authority in tlie gar
den, and a raggedy scarecrow waving
his hands to scare the birds.
Tlie dance patterns and the pan-
tomine for the story are being worked
out b,y the Tuesday afternoon class
in rhythmics.
