THE ORIENT THE MAIL BOX Dear Sir: Two young men are paying attention to me and I don’t know which I like best. Alex is very handsome and much admired but he won’t take me out nights. He says he has to study his lessons. But Nelson has all his evenings free and he is an elegant dancer. Which should 1 favor Dear Lydia: LYDIA. That is easy. Go out with Nelson evenings and save Alex for the ball games. String them both along and when they are graduated, choose the one with the best job. UNCLE GEORGE.” Dear Sir: I have fallen for a girl in the Girl’s Service Club. To be exact it is the president. But she is so busy I do not get a chance to see her. What shall 1 do? ALGERNON. Dear Algy: I notice that you wear very wide trousers. Pin them together and make a skirt of them. Then wear your buckskin shirt outside, like a middy blouse. With this disguise, you should be able to join the Service Club. Once in. follow your star. “UNCLE GEORGE.” Dear Sir: I wrote a very important letter to a little boy that sits beside me in English and I mailed it in that box on the wall near the office. I have received no reply. What shall I do? SALLY WON BEE. Dear Sally: All the literature found in that box was lately given to Mr. Quinn to kindle the fire. But if you will apply to the editor-in-chief of the Orient you will get your stamp back. “UNCLE GEORGE.” OVERHEARD “An umbrella each day keeps the rain away.” George Tinney—“The easiest way to commit suicide is to crawl down to the bottom of the bed and die by the foot.” Esther Kaplan, reading “School For Scandal”—“Gad. Sir Peter, here comes Lady Teasdale.” XXIV

THE ORIENT Lucille Littig and Anna Shead are making prominent places in the world by their splendid magazine “Cheerio.” DOINGS IN AFRICA Richard Miller, the sensation of the day, has proved that he is an all- around perfect hunter. Monday, ac- cording to our foreign reporter, he established a world's record by throw- ing three lions with bare hands. SOCIETY NOTES Edith Sliter gave society a shock when she suddenly decided to make her marriage short and snappy. At four, Sunday morning she and Ever- ett Walker went speeding to the min- ister’s home. George Di Giovanni is making a prominent place in the four hundred. He appears to be a second Beau Brummel. There is a rumor that he has been seen promenading with the model of Franklin Simon Co., Helen Marshall. Nelda Pendleton has become a standard for the tailored world. She is now known as the tailor-made woman. A rumor is in the air that Otto Kennedy is thinking of suicide. It is believed that this is caused by his series of divorces, which number somewhere in the twenties. He thought now that having found his ideal com- panion he could rest in peace and com- fort, but, unfortunately, she refused him. Shattered are his plans. Dorothy Goertz is visiting in Hawaii, where she is giving dancing lessons. She has already proved that Hawaii has not known her sort. Norman Conrad will give a lecture Friday night at the City Temple. The purpose of this lecture is to propose a reform that all Churches should be built of red brick. This shows one of the reasons why Mr. Conrad has been called Mr. Stick-to-Church. Emily La Falce has just returned from abroad, where she has been study- ing languages. She now intends to be professor of languages at Know-it- all College. A Romeo and Juliet scene ensued yesterday when Rose Slitkin was prac- tising her vocal lesson, on the front porch. Brach with his guitar then appeared. Now. the rest is left to you. Frank Bruenig has become superin- tendent of the Nurse’s home. Good for you. Frank. Stick to your aims. ML’SIC NOTES Amelia Davidson is planning a violin recital for tonight. We do not doubt but that Musical Hall will be filled to capacity. BUSINESS NOTES Thomas O’Reilly is becoming a center of envy for many are striving to get him because he has proved so efficient as chief Butler in the home of Louis Bamberger. Philip Clark has won the contest for selling the greatest number of ladies’ silk hosiery. This shows his pleasing ways with the ladies. John Weier proves to be a good salesman for “The Wear Well Ties Socks Co.” Personal experiences usually fit well in one’s profession. Anne Begley’s “Ye Artistic Shoppe” is doing a nourishing business. La t week Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Dawes were seen purchasing there. Mae Calcagno’s “The Bonnie Florisi” is doing a thriving business. She has been doing well with her hedges, hav- ing gotten the practice in hedging at Ea6t Side. EXCHANGE PLACE PROPERTY SOLD Leo Neiwirth as the agent sold the “Commerce Building.” The deal con- sisted of thousands of dollars. So great was the proposition that Oscar Buehler acted as the delivery boy. Great exercise was required in this transaction but Mr. Neiwirth outshone his competitor. OPENING OF BEAUTY PARLOR Landolfi’s “Beauty Parlor” appears to be one of the best of its kind in the city. By beautifying the nose— the specialty of this firm—we can see that many patrons are always to be at hand. SPORT NEWS The Giants won another game yester- day. thereby increasing the number of victories to 21. Surely Coach Windu3 could not wish for more. He certainly has shown his knowledge of baseball. Let us hope for another victory to- morrow. Chester Zawadski is doing a good business at the Bears’ games. Yester- day he was completely sold out of his supply of hot dogs. Chester always manages to see the Bears play. XXIII

THE ORIENT In the 2A English the other day, lots were drawn a la Silas Marner, and it was discovered that Ethel Hubner stole the umbrella. Some students feel that they shouldn’t contribute to the Orient Box be- cause there are already so many jokes in the Orient Room—Orban, Kayrukstis, Platzer, Yuhasz and Elizabeth Brown. Dorothy VVyckoff wrote such a thrilling story for the Girl’s Literary Club that the club decided to hold no more meetings. The girls are afraid to hear it. We have noted that since John Weir has been treasurer of the 4A Class he has been taking Viola out more frequently. Bruno Becker seems to have had too good a time in Washington. Even Lucille could not keep him awake in the movies. Alex, in assembly—“The side aisles will pass out while the center aisles remain standing.” Englander, in library—“Where can I find the American History from 1760 to 1775? Miss Johnson—“Do you want it condensed?” Englander, under his breath—“I don’t care whether it is condensed or evaporated so long as I get it.” YE CAMPUS GOSSIP The faculty football team is in secret spring practice every day now. One of our reporters, at the risk of his neck, has obtained the lineup. R. E.. Mr Ranney; R. T., Mr- Davidheiser; R. G., Mr. Main; center, Mr. Amant; L. E., Mr. Sutton; L. T., Mr- Laughton; L. G., Mr. Musgrove; R. H.. Mr. Reeve; Q. B., Mr. Conroy; L. H., Mr. Langlas; F B.. Mr. Pease; coach, Mr. Belcher; assistant coach. Mr. Windus; cheer leader, Mr. Tharp; water boy, Mr. Stone; mascot, Mr. Quinn. So far the faculty has booked three games: with the Ladies’ Aid Society of the First Presbyterian Church, the S. P. C. A. and the Girls’ Service Club. Coach Belcher made it known that because of the great strength of the pivot position he expects to use a straight plunging game with the fullback carrying the ball. Coach Conroy is to call the signals in French and Spanish. The water boy confided to the reporter that he has purchased a brand new pair of white knickers to wear while officiating at the games. Next Monday the Girls’ Service Club will be at the assembly exits with their banks to accept contributions. XXV
