THE TRADE TACKLER SLANG CFROM THE FASHION NEWS crnxssj By Dorothy Arenberg Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drinkg Words, words, more words in the air, But not the time to think. Fashion Flashes through me dashes, Slang I cannot use, So we'll pretend we're debutantes We'll take slang on a cruise. l X Miss Vanderbilt, I see you're hereg what wear you on your wrist? A bracelet made of white ermine-Why, such does not exist! As I would say in my country-Oh gee! Now ain't dat nice? Those buttons on your tunic blouse, they thrill me to a tee, They'rc made of all assorted nuts-the aroma has told me. You might get quite conceited if about you I do talk, So how about another step-let's peep at Madame Squawk. She wears a gown of organdie right snug about the hipsg The red and white checks on the gown match right up with her lips. A wide red belt adorns the waist, the collar shaped in square, But the patent leather belt, you know, we see not everywhere. How about that hat she wears ! A thing it does not lack Because the brim's down in the front and 'way up in the back. They call this type a Panama: it has such sweeping lines, A 'flower-pot crown and a wide black band--By gorsh l Why, all that rhymes l Will you excuse my frankness? Let me off my horse so high, For as a poet I am punk I cannot tell a lie, GIFT IDEAS CFROM 'rx-ur: sALmsMANsn1P cnixssj By Lona Pyle Roses are red, violets are blue- An accessory for me, and one for you. Gloves have the art of winning her heart. Especially a pair of those lovely real kid slip-ons in the very newest shades of navy, brown, black, and white, or lacy white and cream-colored gloves. This bracelet is a find, For the one you have in mind. An exquisite bracelet of cream bone with adorable little flowers carved all over it. Just the thing to set off a summer outfit. Roses are red-violets are blue . . I must go now--and soon you must too . . 441

THE TRADE TACKLER l- - ALUMNAE ON November 7, 1934, over 150 postal cards were mailed to the graduates of the Girls Vocalional School urging them to come to the annual dinner meeting held No- vember 12, in the Tea Room of the Girls Vocational School. Seventy-eight girls ac- cepted and were present. All trades were represented. Over fifty of the girls paid their annual dues at this meeting. The 'dinner was followed by a short business meeting. The following officers were elected for the years 1934-1935: President-Miss Edna McCabe QHygiene, 19341. Miss McCabe is now em- ployed at the Hilton-Court Beauty Shop. Vice-President-Miss Margaret McGarry QHygiene, 19321 Miss McGarry has been with the National Wave Studio for several years. Treasurer-Miss Ruth Gura CJunior Oilice Practice, 19341. Miss Gura is now with the Postal Telegraph Co. The Association voted that the library fund be increased by a ten dollar donation from the Alumnae fund. The money was used for the purchase of the following books. Author Title Adams. . . Midsummer Seaman.. The Sapphire Signet Van Dyke .... . . . The Story of the Other Wise Man VVren .... Beau Geste Ferber. . . Showboat Richards. Florence Nightingale Sweetser. Ten American Girls from History Bennett. . How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day Besier ............................. The Barretts of Wimpole Street Miss Virginia 'llxaLcher, Employment Manager of Hochschild Kohn and Com- pany, was the speaker for the evening. Her message to the girls was practical and encouraged them to further accomplishment. Her snappy appearance and pleasing manner, together with her complete understanding of what is required of the girl on the job. was in itself an inspiration. We wish to extend a vote of thanks to Miss Thatcher for the evening's entertainment. The excellent dinner was served by Miss Phillips of the night school, with the assistance of her class. ' The Hygiene Class of 1934 is planning to meet as a separate unit with the hope of working out a project which will make possible an annual contribution to the Girls Vocational School library. This is a splendid idea and we hope other classes will follow their good example. Do you know that many of our members have secured better positions by attend- ing Alumnae meetings? Here girls meet and discuss trade problems. They tell of jobs about to become vacant and of dismissals and marriages. This gives the alert girl her opportunity. fContinued on next pagej 42
