and her MARY HAS A LITTLE MAN Mary, Janet, Barbara, Betty, Nancy, and even Maude: Each has a little mang as the fable goes, his hair is either black,brown,red, or blond. He follows to school each morning and drives or walks home with her at night. Then when the week-end comes,Mary hints a bit and gets a date for the dance. The poor fel- low is in heaven--so he thinks--when she goes out with him. But is he taking a beating! We poor suckers of the male sex. We work all day Saturday to earn enough to take our sweet little girls to the show or a dance. Let us tell you, fellow- sufferers, your date never tries to save you money. Not by a long shot! If it is suggested to get something to eat after the show, as must be done just out of politeness, she will say, WGee, that's swell! I could eat a hamburg and a nut- fudge-marshmallow-caramel sundae right now.W This will invariably happen even if she knows it will break you. Well, boys,guess we can't do anything about it. But we send out our honest, heartfelt sympathy to you. At least we can go to the dances stagg if there are no girls, we can dance with each other. There are some boys who can follow much better than girls anyway. The trouble is that the only time a girl wants to fol- low a boy is at a dance. The rest of the time she wants him to follow her. MUSIC APPRECIATION Bo one is able to realize more than the musician the discourtesy that is shown by the so-called Wappreclativen audience. It is extremely difficult for either a soloist or an entire orchestra of play to an audience that does not really listen to a concert. The great majority of people do not know how to appreciate the true value of music. They will talk, and that during the entire performance, and as soon as the orchestra comes to a rest or a grand pause, will burst into a round of ap- plause much to the embarrassment and chagrin of the conductor. People who are not willing to sit and listen to a musical concert should not come and pretend to be interested in the program. They should stay away and allow the true music-lovers to enjoy the program. A WORD PICTURE Assembly. Self-termed uartistn at the piano. Much yawning in the audience. A few guilty looks at sour-faced faculty by the windows, then out come the pen- oils. A few passes at the old initials o the seats aheadg now a little original fancy work. Finally, for want of excitement,a few caricatures of the nentertain- er' in notebooks. Many stifled giggles as the caricatures get into circulation. Added flourishes by other artists. Somebody drops some mo ey. General stir at the unusual sound. More giggles. The 'artist' seems to be through with his number. His hair mussed and tie deranged, he bows serenely and stalks off the stage into the wings. The master of ceremonies comes out and wiggles large paws for silence. No use. Audience sound asleep. Snores ........ The mailman goes for a walk on his holiday. The sailor rows a boat in the park.A conductor takes a ride on a streetcar,but what retired Congressman spends millions every day? , 18
