GTHE COMO CON SERVATORY By ELMER BAEKER, '31 It was a synthetic wilderness of beauty. The air was the atmosphere of the tropics-humid, hot, and sweet. All around were foliage plants of grotesque shapes, plants from all the earth. great sago palms, orchid trees, yams, mantillas, banana plants-vines that once entwined themselves in the jungles of the Amazon. Fish of gold swam in and out among the water lilies of a limpid pond. A baby alligator lay half submerged, only his head above water, his piercing eyes looking greedily at the gold fish which, alas, were out of reach. From inside the fern-hidden mouth of a cavern came the sound of water drip- ping. All was quiet, dreamy, languid, There came the citrus tang of a lemon tree. It was offset by the perfume of delicate blossoms of lavender. Music came and with the incentive of the plaintive notes of a Hawaiian guitar one felt a desire to lie down among the petunias and columbine and build upon the scented air a dream of the tropics. THE PESSIIVIIST DESCRIBES HERSELF By CARoL RAHM I'm of a varied height: no heels, 5 feet 5 inches, low heels, 5 feet 5 one- half inches, high heels, 5 feet 6 inches. In the high heels I tower over everyone and manage to fall over every little obstacle: I hate low heels, and anyway they're not becoming, and people don't go around in stocking feet. My hair is brown but so is everyone's else, so that's no asset. Anyway, I overheard my mother once, describing it as mouse-colored and I can't stand mice. I had an original hair cut once, but that was long ago. It's a windblown now and it never looks well. When it's just washed it's terrible: and just about the time it might look decent it's dirty again and has to be washed. They tell me my forehead is neither high nor low, but I am strongly inclined to think that I am a low brow. My eyebrows are black but scarce: I love heavy eyebrows. My eyes aren't large, and they're brown, and once one was black and blue. My lashes are long, but no one ever notices them because the tips are light. As for mv nose, well, I'd rather not even mention it. I have small ears though. The last time I looked at my nose it seemed out of pro- portion with the rest of my face. I can't remember what was wrong, and I haven't the heart to look again. A girl once told me I had pretty lips but she only wanted to use my lipstick. Even all this I might try to overlook but horrors of horrors-my chin. There's a dent right in the middle. This is as far as I will go. If you can't picture me, it doesn't make much difference, because I'm not much to look at anyway. , ON BEING AN OLD LADY By CAROL RAHM I don't want to be just a sweet old lady, or a sharp, cranky one, or even a haughty, stern one. I want to be a dignified old lady with white hair and perhaps a pair of bi-focals. I want a green and white kitchen with starched dimity curtains and a flower box. I want a yellow cat, a yellow canary, and a little white dog, I'll have a sunny living room with comfortable chairs and many cushions. When visitors come, Cand I'll have manyj I'll serve honey- cakes, and tea in a fat teapot. Young people will come to see me to ask advice, and when they leave, they'll shake their heads and wonder if I've had a dis- appointed love affair, ' Page Nineteen
