The expense, of course, was tremendous, but the splendid financial condition of the M ltotal resources: 3511.983 proved adequate, and as a result, an ocean liner was chartered, and a distinguished group of six was engaged to consult the renowned oracle. On the committee were Marvin Kreidberg, Dorothy Shave, Deliitte Handford, lioger 0'Donnell, Cornelia Vandersluis, and Robert Atkinson, not one of whom needs any biographical sketch, their lives and deeds are known to all. The liner sailed from New York on the 3rd of March, 1930, and arrived in Delphi a number of weeks later. They found the oracle, a priestess of Apollo, engaged in a healed dispute concerning the relative advantages of long skirts as opposed to facial veils. The committee forthwith addressed the priestess, and exhorted her to begin singing the prophecies at once, pointing out that life was short and time was fleeting. The priestess at once repaired to the Temple of Apollo, the committee followed her, Miss Shave audibly voicing her opinion that the oracle, as a woman, wasn,t much lo look at, and as for her dressil The priestess, in the middle of Apolloas Temple, seated herself on a bowl placed on u tripod. Beneath the tripod a vent in the earth exuded a peculiar, smoky gas. Mr. 0,Donnell vociferously demanded that the gas company of Delphi be summoned at once.

HM!! DUQAIRHFQLAIWEI By CARYL Bo'rHE, 731 Mary Jane was singing. lt was very unusual for Mary Jane to sing. In fact, her high school friends, refusing to give Mary's vocal efforts the dignity of the title- singing -said that Mary Jane made happy noises. This was perfectly true. Mary Jane was happy. i The little heroine of this narrative was sixteen, pretty, and ambitious. She was never satisfied until she obtained what she wanted, and this she usually man- aged to do, for she had golden hair and a golden fspeakingj voice. . One afternoon Marv Jane's telephone rang impatiently, nor was this unusual, for Mary Jane's telephone was always ringing. 'fHellol ltis me. This statement, ungrammatical and ardent, caused Mary Jane's heart to do queer and unexpected things. This annoyed her, for it made her voice tremble slightly as she answered: Oh, yes. How are you? Able to sit up and take nourishment, but, my dear, I canit call for you at your home tonight. l have to stay with the boys at the Y. M. until eiglht. Could you meet me at the drug store on Grand and Snelling at eight fifteen? I haven't done this before, so I guess your mother will understand? Surely, Mummie understands-always. I'll meet you, but you be prompt. Uh-huh. Well, I've got to rush. Toodle-doo. . CGBye-5, ' At eight fifteen, our heroine and a school acquaintance, Bob, were at the drug store. Each appeared to be annoyed and waiting for someone else. Bob, the oddest things has happened to me. My friend called this afternoon and said heid meet me here at this time because he had to come from the Y. M. Now he's not here. He never pulled this before. That,s funny. Was it Jack, Mary Jane? I thought so. It sounded like him. He didnit say, though. Just said, 'lt's me.' '4Gollv! Know what. Mary Jane? I'll bet Central gave me the wrong number and I made the date with you. Jack wasn't at the Y. M. tonight. Gee, what a break! Of course Bob, being a perfect gentleman, could do nothing but take the young ladv out. This he did. Furthermore, he enjoyed every minute of the evening and made further arrangements to see this charming little classmate whom he had scarce- ly deigned to notice before. ' Mary Jane's Junior essay was on the telephone. that marvelous and interesting contrivance. After receiving a bid for the J. S. from Bob, Mary Jane gave her cousin, who was the local telephone operator and who had been seen in mysterious conference with Mary Jane. a lovely present. This all tends to explain why Mary Jane was singing. Like the Canadian Mounted Police, she got her man. ,, Stars By IOLA LUCHSINGER, ,30 The stars are dew drops of the sky- They're twinkling little bells of night That softly ring their message out From dusk until the rnorninglight.
