MIDNIGHT. Her father had long ago retired; her

the other room.
They were alone, vivacious little Marguerite and Ar-

Her lips were cool and tempting. Oh, how he yearned
to kiss her! He leaned over and deftly, as though
from long practice, slid his arm around her waist. But
when he tried to kiss her she resisted.
"Stop! I'll call out to my mother."
The eager light faded from his eyes. Dismayed he
sat back and surveyed her. Again those red alluring
lips! Again he tried bringing her lips near.
"Stop! I'll scream for my mother."
Her lovely face beat his heart to a flame of passion.
Red lips! Small, tempting mouth! He could not re-

The Fable of the Old Grad Who Came Back
ONCE UPON A TIME an Old Grad decided
to revisit the scenes of his College Days,
so he packed his carpetbag and caught the
east bound train for his old Alma Mater and The
Fraternity. On the train he leaned back in his
day coach chair and chuckled intermittently as
he thought of the Sensation old Jay Spivus would
create as he alighted in the Depot. Even at this
moment, thought old Jay as he lighted a Five Cent
Cigar, little Groups were sitting about various
Hearths discussing the famous End Run he had
made back in the Olden Days. He sighed compla-
cently and spat out of the Window.
When the Train Snorted into the Station old Jay
stepped from the Coach and cast his Eye about for
a glimpse of the Fraternity Boys who were sup-
posed to meet Him. They were not there. A be-
wildered Expression clouded his Face, and He
hailed a Cab and squeezed his rotund Body in the
Back Seat of a seven passenger Car along with Nine
Others.
Arriving at the Fraternity, He climbed the Stairs
and rang the old Bell. A freshman opened the
Door, looked at old Jay, and squeaked that some
Dam Bill Collector was here. Jay heard the Fra-
ternity Commisary made a Break ior Refuge. He
scanned the Freshman haughtily.
"I am not a Dam Bill Collector," He said.
"Well, We don't want to Buy Anything," was
the little Freshman's Comeback. Old Jay grew
Purple and pushed His Opponent Aside. The
House President blocked his Way. Jay Spivus
trembled in Anger.
"Good God!" He bellowed, "I'm Jay Spivus."
"No one said that You were Addison Sims, did
They? retorted the House President. Old Jay dis-
played his Pin on his Vest and fell to the Floor
exhausted.
"Welcome, Old Grad," said the House President
Formally. "Freshman Dingle will now search you
for Intoxicants, whereupon You will be locked in
Your Room until the Big Game, so that You will
not have the Opportunity to make an Ass of Your-
self and the Fraternity."
Old Jay looked about puzzledly and then picked
up his Grip. "If That's the case," He said sadly,
"I guess I'll keep the $10,000 I was going to do-
nate to the Fraternity."
The House President Fell Dead.
MORAL-Be Sure It's Garbage before You throw
It away.

The Spirit of Old Missouri
THERE will be Crimson and Blue feathers

Another Homecoming is here. On this day the
Jayhawks will meet a Tiger team-and more. As
the Tiger team battles its way down the field, the
fighting spirit of Stankowski, Brick Travis, Chuck
Lewis, Herb Blumer, and other fighting Tigers of
former days will be with them to help them to
victory. The Jayhawks will meet a team of bat-
tling Tigers on Turkey Day that has made its growl

Eleven fighting, driving, twisting, leaping Tigers
will battle their way for supremacy on Rollins field
on Thanksgiving Day against the invading Jay-
hawkers. The stands will be filled to the utmost ca-
pacity with loyal Tiger supporters, filled with the
old Missouri spirit of "Fight 'em Tigers." The old
grads of former days will rally to the gold and
black, and sing "I'm a son, a son, a sonư of ole
Missou." It's going to be a great day when the
Tigers meet the Jayhawks for the thirty-third time.
Columbia will don its gala dress. Gold and
Black, Crimson and Blue will be the fashion that
day. Cheering, laughter, handshaking, backslap-

breaking parade to top it all off. When that army
of Tigers march onto Rollins Field, headed by the
Missou band, with old grads adding pep to the
march, and showing the boys how they used to do
it-well it's going to be a great parade. And

when the Tigers come out of their den to pluck the
Jayhawks every true son will be behind them.
They can't beat you Tigers! !
When you look at some of the old grads, greyed
by the cares of the world, those old grads that left
their Alma Mater years ago to carry the spirit of
Missou for and wide,-when you see them here on
Thanksgiving Day with all that old Missou spirit,
you can't help but wonder if it wasn't that kind of
stuff that started the Tiger on his drive to the front
line.
This isn't the first year that Missouri has had a
great football team. In fact, it is thirty-five years
ago that Missou started to say that. Back there in
'90 when the first eleven was organized it was the
same spirit that prompted them as will send the Ti-
gers to victory Thanksgiving Day.
The Tiger today has a mighty roar; it wasn't as
strong thirty-five years ago. Hard years of fight
have given him confidence, and strength.
The first Thanksgiving game was a defeat; but
many things fail in the beginning that have turned
into success later on. The Tigers lost their first
Thanksgiving game to Washington University of
St. Louis.
But that was a long time ago. The men who
composed that first Gold and Black lineup, the men
who were first to fight for old Missou started some-
thing. Today we see their successors, another
eleven, but with the same old spirit, the same fight
that those first Gold and Black warriors had, bat-
tling for the honor of the Tigers, the honor of the
Gold and Black and the honor of Missouri.
In the captain, Arthur Bond, the Tigers have a
most able leader, and a fighter that any team would
be proud of. His fight and leadership have helped
guide Missouri thru the season to her high place.
The Aggie game was a costly victory to the Ti-
gers. Coglizer, the Tiger fleety end, Molder, the
little quarterback who has hammered so much fight
into the Tigers and has been responsible for much
of their success, and Swafford, the Tiger half-back,
who startled the stands this season by his spectacu-
lar tackles and runs, are lost to the eleven for the
remainder of the season. Coglizer may get back
in, but it is not probable. This great disadvantage,
the loss of these three players hurt the Tigers, but
the fight is still there. They played Nebraska off
their feet and altho they came home with the short
end of the score they had a moral victory at least.
Director Brewer, better known to the old grads
as "King" Brewer, and his able body of coaches
have built a fighting machine that would swell the
Missouri's First Football Team.
chest of anyone. Coach Henry has shown good
judgment and farsightedness in his selection of ma-
terial, and the fighting condition he has his Tigers
in.
Thirty-five years ago a Tiger cub was born into
the Missouri Valley. His growl was weak-for he
was yet young. But he is full grown now and has
a full-grown growl. This Homecoming should find
him with one that will make every son of Old Mis-
sou stand up and cheer.
So you see it can't help but be a great day, a
great day for the Tigers, when we have a team like
this. Kansas has the edge on Missouri in victories.
Out of the thirty-two games played the Tigers have
ten victories and five ties, while the Jayhawks have
the remaining seventeen games. Missouri took
most of her defeats in the days when she was a cub.
Now that she is full-grown she has shown the rest
of the Valley that there is fight in a real Tiger.
There will be nothing at Missouri for Homecom-
ing but spirit, and there will be plenty of that.
Books and school will be forgotten for the moment,
clicks will disappear in the face of a united body
of students fighting toward one end. Nothing will
count except the Tigers.
Missouri will open the gala celebration with a
mammoth mass meeting on Rollins Field the even-
ing before the great battle. The cheer leaders will
be there to help you let off some of the surplus
steam. The team will be there, headed by their
Captain, Bond.

EDITORIALS.
SHORT TIME AGO, the school found itself immersed in the Memorial Union and
Stadium campaign. At the same time owners of prosperous, if not palatial, commer-
cial establishments, trembled with anticipatory aprehension, as they recalled the front
page of their Missourian of the night before. For had not this daily, with a fine disre-
gard for these gentlemen's feelings (its own advertisers incidentally), flaunted on its
front page the hold words: "M. U. Campus Is Marred by Board Shacks." But this is
not all. Readers were informed that these were many of these dens of iniquity, eight
in fact, and to mike the information still more startling added the horrifying disclos-
ure that they were "painted in all colors."
Undoubtedly this is a condition that must be done away with. Is the aesthetic taste of the Co-
lumbia Missourian to be this trampled on? No, no, a thousand voices cry, and the OUTLAW lends
his treble to swell the chorus. But what of the solution? Again, the OUTLAW to the rescue. Why
not a Memorial Union and :;hack campaign? Unfortunately, the Memorial Union and Stadium cam-
paign as we remarked above, has been already held, but this money can easily be diverted into
more fitting channels. A little sober reflection will show that the Stadium is of little consequence. It
NOVEMBER OUTLAW
has been said that the seating capacity at Rollins Field is inadequate, and that the Stadium will over-
come this. But, in the literature used in the campaign, we find the statement that, as the seats are
first to be disposed of to holders of life membersships, in a few years these reservations will take up
the entire seating capacity of the Stadium. This is a most grievous state of affairs. For, see the hei-
nous consequences. Ever fortunate one is to have four tickets for each game. As we have pointed
out, there will be no extra seats. What will happen? All who hold these seats will come to Co-
lumbia, and dispose of three of them at unheard of prices to the clamoring students of the future.
Some, if sufficiently tempted, may even sell their last ticket. This is the condition which we must
face. But this shall not be. No, for even with the vision of the vast monetary gain awaiting us in
the years to come, from the sale of tickets, we resolutely turn away to face the more noble thoughts
-Shacks!
Yes, take this money and apply it towards uplifting the Shacks. At least bigger, if not better
Shacks. We have no desire to devour our Hamburgers in marble halls. No, No! Let us not ape the
'haunts of the plutocrat. For us the Bohemian. But what shall be done? For indeed, much can be
done with half-a-million. And as we have said, it must go to the Shacks. How many times have we
been forced to wait our turn in order to enjoy that most succulent morsel, the Hamburger. But un-
der the new regime, how different. On that side of the thoroughfare, where the White House now
gazes defiantly across at another Presidential Mansion, let us have a building a block long devoted
to Hamburgers. But, remember, no gaudy edifice. Let all be as before. The simple Shack of De-
mocracy.
And so with all the Shacks. Let us enlarge every one. But, bear in mind, they must stay in their
old positions. For, in the article referred to, that shook the minds of men, we find that the "Shacks"
have crept closer and closer up to the University campus until they almost encroach upon the grounds
itself." This, with uncanny instinct shows an insight into the future that even we had failed to per-
ceive. For the Missourian sees the day when the Shacks would finally pounce upon Jesse Hall and
there hawk and peddle their wares. This is too much. At least this aspect enlists our sympathy.
The OUTLAW therefore, would go on record as being distinctly opposed to Hamburgers being
cooked in Jesse Hall. Yes, one must draw the line some place. But if our advice is taken this will
not come to pass. For the Shacks shall remain where they have always been. But, unfortunately,
we are afraid that our dominant purpose has not been achieved. We have not soothed the aesthetic
feelings of the Missourian. But no matter. The Juggernaut must roll over it. For in all great un-
dertakings one cannot consider the individual.
This is supposed to be what is usually called "a Welcome to the Old Grad." It is quite as
customary and as commonplace as the football editorials at the beginning of the season. We really
think that this sort of thing should be prohibited, but custom is strong and it will probably be toler-
ated half-a-century from today as it was fifty years ago. It really is quite useless. Something ought
to be done about it.
Why rhapsodize about the "Old Grad," returning to view again the scenes of his youth, to im-
bibe once more the spirit of culture, or to watch hisworthy successors engaged in struggle upon the
field of sport, when everyone knows that his primary purpose in returning, is to prove to all all and
sundry, including himself, that he is really a devil of a fellow. , Whether he does this under the re-
fining influence of the Great God Hooch, or thru his own purposeful personality, is of little import.
The thing is, that for a day or two he is, or thinks himself to be (which is the same thing), trans-
formed. He is no longer the "fat and greasy citizen," but is once more a Student of the University,
more fortunate than we, who are bound by rules and regulations, fears of flunks, and negative hours;
the chains and fetters of a tyranous and tribulous administration.
But to what end, all this? Perhaps to many who come back as they stand in the grandstand
at the end of the game, and sing "Old Missouri," there will appear a vision of the years between
which to many have been the wasted years, the things which they wet0 going to accomplish and never
did, and the other things which they were never going to do and yet somehow were done. Broken
blossoms, vanished ideals. And to what end? For tho we know all this to be true, we too perhaps
shall come back some day, and in our own inimitable way, be damn fools likewise.

STUDENTS HAIL WITH JOY
MERGER OF UNIVERSITY
AND STEPHENS COLLEGE
WILL TAKE PLACE SHORTLY
i Fusion to Result in Advancement
of Learning, Say
Officials
Joy and a spirit of carnival prevailed
among the students at the University
and Stephens College today when it was
announced that, in the interest of Am-
erican education, a merger of the two
institutions will take place shortly. To-
gether %with this announcement comes
the statement that a dating bureau will
be mainained at he main library and
that dates will be allowed any or all
nighs of the week.
Approval of the project was especially
shown at the University where the men
students declared the forthcoming con-
solidation "the most significant hap-
pening in the annals of American edu-
cation since this country became a na-
tion of just-for-girls schools and mostly-
for-men universities."
Officials declare that the mdern col-
lege student must b? provided with in-
spiration. Heretofore, they say, inspira-
tion was found in the flowing howl, but
the student nowadays is wary of the
bad liquor floating around. Statisitcs
show that the consumption of liquor at
the University has fallen off 50 per cent
within the last two years, a fact greatly
deplored by the family. The merger of
the two institutions and the correspond-
ing increase in inspiration is expected
to recompense the students for the loss
of the flowing bowl.
Early tdday the Stephens college girls
began to show their colors. Today be-
ing wash day, the lines around the dor-
mitory were hung with female apparel.
Gold and black predominated in the col-
or scheme. The general sentiment
among the girls is that they welcome
the fusion since they prefer to have
their playmates nearby.
This afternoon a group of pretty Ste-
phens college girls posed exclusively for
The Razoorian. The picture was de-
leted by the censor and will be shown
privately to men students who call in
person at the Razoorian Office. Knock
three times on the door.
"J wish I was 67 years young-
er commented one of the town's oldest
residents, when asked what he thought
of the move. "There was never such an
opportunity for education in my youth."
With two of the largest educational
institutions in the state combined, a
tremendous increase in the enrollment
of men students is expected next se-
mester, according to Miss Effie Schwaf-
fenhelter, office boy in the registrar's
office.
THE WEATHER
For Columbia and vicinity. Fine and
warmer if it dont' rain; cyclones to-
night and Saturday; lowest temperature
about 85 Fahrenice.
For Missouri: Somewhat warmer to-
night; sizzling hot tomorrow with frost;
rain next week.

CAUGHT CHASING CAT
AROUND WHITE CAMPUS
Charged with cruel and abusive treat-
ment, Harold Sawbones, a medical stu-
dent, pleaded guilty this morning in po-

cent postage stamp by Judge Finem.
Sawbones appealed and the case will
be heard before the Grand Jury.
The complaint on which Sawbones
was hailed into court was made by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Tabbies, who claimed that Sawbones
unlawfully "cut up" around the campus
so much that when a young kitten
sauntered idly in the vicinity of the
medical building, Sawbones nabbed her
and embalmed her in alcohol. The plain-
tiff exhibited a pair of cat's pajamas
that had been found on Sawbones.
FRESHMEN ARE MUSICAL

Andrew J. Gump, candidate for pres-

dressed the students and townspeople
on the steps of the court house last
night. Long before the meeting was
scheduled to appear, the street in front
of the court house was crowded with

Barney Google, famous race track

Boob McNutt introduced the speaker in
few but fitting words. "They ain't no

said.
Mr. Gump, our next president, spoke
as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen and

to Andy Gump for president, because it
sees that Andy Gump is a man of the
people, who feels and bleeds for the

Playing the best game of their career,
the co-eds of the University of Missouri,

field yesterday afternoon. The knitting
was hot from the start but the fine form
of the University girls, together with
their knowledge of the sport and supe-
rior coaching, made them the victors.
At the end of the first quarter the
score stood 0 to 0. Undaunted, the co-
eds knitted with all their prowess, leav-
ing not a knit unturned in the second
quarter. The girls dropped two and
knitted three, brought the knitting
down to the goal for a touchdown and
by a field goal from the twenty-yard
line sent the ball spinning for seven
points. The score was now 7 to 0.
The third quarter was scoreless, while
the fourth quarter proved productive of
six points for the University girls who
rushed for a touchdown with a hop, knit
and jump, and added six points to their
score.
The co-eds now are in a fair way of
winning the mountain championship,
since they are the height of their career
and in the best shape of the season.

"TIGER COMEDY AT ITS BEST" 19

The Old Man
THE NIGHT WAS COOL AND CRISP. A
large harvest moon cast weird and uncanny
shadows about the campus, jarring crazily
with the raccuous attempts at harmony from the
portals of the Delta house. They were practicing
in order to impress the old grads who were to start
filtering in tomorrow. It would be a hellish im-
pression, thought Brent LaGrange as he walked
slowly past the house. He smiled cynically. They
were probably doing the same thing at his house.
He had better not go home yet, he decided.
A tumultous student staggered past him, shout-
ing loudly that Missouri would defeat Kansas. A
worried look clouded the face of Brent. His father
would be in tomorrow. Brent stopped. What
would dad think of the school? Several of the fel-
lows at the house had stored away liquor for the
festivity and God only knew how many others were
doing the same thing. This meant that there would
be evidence of dissipation starting tomorrow. Brent
wondered how this would impress his father. And
the women. They seemed a little more wild and
coarser than the girls back in Bolivar-more man-
nish.
Brent sighed resignedly. Well, the best thing
that he could do would be to trust in fate and hope
that dad wouldn't take things in the wrong light.
He walked back to the house and into his room.
"Were you here for the last homecoming?"
"No, I went to Havana."
NOVEMBER
Will y' marry me?
Ask papa.
But he can't cook.
Brent La Grange, senior, did not arrive in Co-
lumbia until the following night. Young Brent
was at the station to meet him and a violent greet-
ing ensued. After the tumult had subsided Brent
started to hail a taxi, but his father detained him.
He was a dignified appearing man, with keen gray
eyes, blending with the hair about his temples. An
English professor would have described his ana-
tomical condition as portly.
"Let's walk out to the house," he said. "I
haven't seen the old school for twenty-five years,
you know, and I think night impressions are al-
ways the best. Young Brent nodded silently and
shuddered as he heard a far away group of revel-
lers proclaiming their condition.
Father and son walked slowly down the main
street and turned off on a darkened by-way. A
group of large buildings loomed up to the left of
them.
"What's that?" asked old Brent.
"One of the girls' colleges," replied young Brent.
From one of the many windows the red tip of a
cigarette descried an arc and hit the sidewalk with
a shower of sparks.
"I thought you said it was a girls' school," re-
torted dad.
20 "TIGER COMEDY AT ITS BEST"

"I hear your dad is having hard luck."
"Yeah, became to town with a quart of gin and now
he's crying because he can't see the game from his cell
window."
"Yeah, that's the janitor's room," Brent said
half-heartedly. He slated that girl, whoever she
was.
They walked on together silently. Suddenly
Brent's heart jerked. Three joyous students were
making difficult progress toward them, singing
merrily the while. One of them grabbed Brent
as they met and leaned heavily against him.
"Brent, old man, I'm drungg-k!" he sighed.
Brent hurriedly pushed him away and fell in step
with his father, who had been interestedly watching
the spectacle.
"Who was that?"
"Oh, that was a fellow."
"How peculiar." Brent's brain was a seething
mass of curses. Titters and cajolings in a parked
car which they passed gave the curses new vitality.
Things were sure coming out fine. Oh, Lord, yes!
They entered the white campus and viewed the
scene silently. Then they went up to young Brent's
room. Brent, senior, deposited himself in the only
rocker and placed his hands upon his stomach. He
yawned.
Young Brent looked at his father worriedly.
"Well, what do you think of it, dad?" he asked tim-
orously.
Old man Brent took off his glasses and frowned.
"Maybe I haven't seen enough of it yet," he said
slowly, "but I really think-I think-I think it's a
hell of a lot deader than it used to be. Why in my
day-"
Young Brent leaped to the door with a yell of
joy.
"Hey fellows!" he bellowed, "come in and meet
the old man!"

KRAZY KRAX.
T was dawn, and already the moo and tinkle
and snortz of the early birdz could be heard in
the trees, the fawg was folding itself up into
cunning little fractions, and exciting joy, while jol-
ly old Mister Sun was doing his derndest to strug-
gle over a nearby hill, which Mother Nature had
once flung there in a peevish fit. Yes, dear reader,
it was quite dawn.
From behind the dense woods in back of Johnny
Pawlz a vague form could be seen seeping along-
maybe oozing, we aren't quite sure. Football dope
is awful uncertain. Upon closer investigation it
proves ta be none other than Hank, the Mother's
Friend, returning after an afternoon happily spent
in the agricultural districts around McBaine. But
at the same time, far, far down the railroad trax
another form is to be seen approaching. At the junc-
tion of the library and the Burrall Class they are
about to meet-in fact, they see each other coming
at themselves. Our friend Hank opens the encoun-
ter with a well chosen remark upon the stranger's
ancestry, and strikes the stranger brutally in the
light first with two front teeth, tactfully retreating
to the corner of the street on his shoulder blades,
afterwards.
Then Hank reels manfully to the assult, hurling
anathema and brix in a promiscuous way. Just
when it looks as if the stranger is going to have to
run, up rushes none other than Bertha, the Kross-
eyed Koleen of Klumbyuh, followed by the foot-
ball squad and the. Shoe factory boys. Hank tact-
fully refrains from intended assault. As the stran-
ger arises, Bertha throws herself upon him with
cries of "M'Dollink," "Luvuh," and "M'sweetol-

THEY STOOD ALONE, just the two of them,
on the edge of the bluff. Far below, winding
like a splender silver serpent, the river drowsed
along in the moonlight.... Moonlight that wove its
insidious, sensuous spell about ine pair like a
sweetly suffocating blanket of golden gossamer;
moonglow that brought a surge of blood to her wan
cheek and a glazed stare to his eyes. For he was
young and she was beautiful...a voluptuous pas-
sionate beauty, whispering of latent fire. After the
vivid manner of a tiger-lily. He feasted his rav-
ished eyes, and as he raised a tremulous hand to
touch her, his soul was in his fingertips. Ah. ...
she read, in the eyes and in the questing fingers, a
poignant, vital yearning... .the supreme, com-
pelling challenge of his young being to hers. He
caught his breath as her hand grazed along her
cool, bare arm toward an alabaster shoulder. From
afar off, borne over the glittering water by a breeze
which caressed their hot cheeks like the touch of
angel's wings they heard a faint strain of music
.... a barbaric melody. . . .a pagan love-song in
an eerie, minor key. It was the match needed to
set off the fuse of their passion. Toward her and
about her he surged, gripped her in his madness
with harsh, fierce strength, tilted back the delicate
oval in her face. ... she was his. How sweet was
her surrender ....
In the woods behind them a snapping of twigs
warned them of the proximity of some one else.
Reluctantly he released her . . .they drew apart

Where I was to alight and enter college,
I straightened my contrary tie and gulped,
And spoke to her-and she-
Although I soon could see that I
Was several years her junior-
She was kind and smiled
In such a wondrous fashion
That I basked in it as in the autumn sunshine,
And quite forgot to ask her name.
But we alighted from the train together,
Which made me pulse and tremble with delight,
For by her looks and bearing and demeanor
I could tell that she must be a oC-ed.
I pressed her hand at parting-it was warm
And soft as the breeze that fans
My mother's apple trees in May, and brings
The sweet pink blossoms down in clouds.
I almost asked where I could call her up,
When she stepped into a taxicab
And, smiling, whirled away.
Well, I became a Freshman, then a pledge,
And finally got my courses doped out right.
But though I looked and sought her everywhere
I couldn't get a single glimpse of her-
She who was so fascinating and so kind.

Then Monday morning came. It was the day
When first we went to all our classes
And met our teachers and received our lessons
For the succeeding day. Ah, how I hoped
And prayed that she might be in one
Of the classes of which I made the rounds.
The first was French, and she
Was lacking and so I lost my interest in it.
Then came Geology, and the one I sought
Was not among the serried ranks
To English then I went; hungry, tired,
Wondering if my wish could ne'er come true.
Inside the doors I stopped and looked,
And hummed a hymn of praise, for
There she was! Laughing and talking
Midst an admiring group; the center
Of attraction, as well she might have been.
That dark red hir, that creamy skin,
OUTLAW
That provocative twinkle in her eyes-
She was the same. God made the one,
And never made another.
Just then my goddess turned around
Drawn as if by some magnetic force,
And when she was me standing, gaping there;
She smiled and spoke. By Jove! I thought
Confusedly of lambs and pussy-willows,
Of Corrine Grifith and old Dresden china,
Of dried rose leaves and a tropic moon....
All the elements of happiness rolled
Gloriously into one!
So I approached and worshipped at the shrine
Of her whom I was going to adore.
She did look somewhat older, but
What mattered that? I'd known of cases where...
And then she spoke from parted ruby lips,
And the room did rock and sway about me
Emitting a noise of crashing tin and glass....

Elsinore Visits College.
Virgil is indebted to Elsinore for innumerable dough-
nuts and one hundred copies of the "Young People's
World" that he has received every week for three years.
To square things, he has invited Elsinore to her first
college dance.
Elsinore: "Who are those funny men lying in the
gutter?"
Virgil: "Be quiet, Elsinore, they are fraternity broth-
ers."
Elsinore: "But, Virgil, why do they keep looking at
the pavement?"
Virgil: "They are geology students. Now dear, please
don't ask so many questions." (Strained silence).
Elsinore: "Who was the man I just danced with?
He held me so tight!"
Virgil: "He is stroke on the crew, Elsinore."
Elsinore: "But, Virgil, Im' not a crew." (Unusual
silence.) "Virgil, what are these garters doing in your
pocket?"
Virgil: "Please don't talk so loud, (lear. They're not
garters, they're arm bands. Now you must not ask me
another question." (One Hour Later)
Virgil: "Elsinore, where have you been?"
Elsinore: "Shtudyn geolgee."
Virgil: "The brute."
Elsinore: "Very nice shtroke."
(Long, long silence.)
Elsinore: "Virgil."
Elsinore: "Will ya loan' me your arm bands?"-
