FOURTH OF I ULY IN CANDYLAND Said the lipstick to the pencil, I really feel quite spryl In spite of the gala show We gave last night, the Fourth of July. Said the powder-puff to the lipstick, I hear 'twas a great success, That you traveled out to Candyland on the lollypop express! Oh, we Went with Jean Field-Yum Yum, the candy-maker man, And Shirley 'Judy' Janis, and then the fun began For Uncle Rona Prieden, Sam just opened wide his eyes When Taster Connie Gottlieb revealed the great surprise. My, the lipstick added, What a candybox we saw! With lollypops and butterscotch and sourballs and more! Lollypops that danced and sang, all red and white and blue, QAudrey Weiser, Claire Kulok and Beulah Davidson toolj And sourballs that wore lorgnettes in a most surprising way, CFor Joyce was haughty, Elaine proud, and Ruth was quite blaselj Hoot mon! In kilts and plaid bedecked the 'but o' scotch' was there And the snappy-flavored life-savers had a truly nautical air. But ho-ho! laughed the rouge, and blushed, those funny popcorn clowns With Donna's pants that would insist on having ups and downs. Said the lipstick to the pencil, Yes, I really feel quite spryl For I surely spent a tasty, most delicious Fourth of July! TI-IANK YOU, DOCTOR Nurse Isabel Schiffman Clooking through filesj : Doctor, there's a blank card here for a Mrs. Gloria Blickman-Lester. I'm afraid I don't remember the case. Shall I keep the card? Dr. Frankie M. WoIfs1'e-Gurney: Lester-Lester-oh, of course! She wasn't a patient at all. I'm surprised that ypu've forgotten the case: I know I never shall. She was that jewel-thief who chose my office as the place to out- wit Dennis Carol Lewis Court, the messenger from Lartier's.

-1? ea , If our calendar of memories, 1935, resembles a brightly colored picture book, We must thank those busy fingers in the Arts and Crafts Bunk. All along the margins of our record are bright splashes of color and cleverly fashioned objects. As we turn the pages-slowly, to miss none of these lovely decorations-We are reminded how popular a material sponge proved to be, from Irma Newman's amusing Indian doll, and Frankie Richman's delightful sponge landscape to Mildred Wolff, who started the rage for sponge sandals. Here's Dotty Rann's mosaic make-up box, and there, on the next page those gorgeous glinting copper placques that Frankie M, Wolfsie and Shirley Greene made. These expressive masks which Leila and Percy experimented with stare vividly out at us, surrounded by June's confetti dish, Glo and Ronnie's leather purses, and the initialed bracelets of Gloria Schustek and Claire Field. Tlhis charming bit of color is Edyth Bleetstein's little rag doll, and next to it are the landscapes of our live-year-old artists. These more finished designs on our calendar are the work of Rondack's young Rembrandts, the talented members of the Sketch Club. Guided by Randy's sympathetic criticism, they adorned both the calendar and their bunk walls with charcoal drawings from life, lithographs on newspad, and clay models. It's Art for Arts and Crafts' Sake at Rondackl

Nurse: And almost succeeded in doing so, didn't she? Well, l have one thing to say for her. She was a very clever actress. Why, she even fooled me and I'm hard to fool. Doctor: Not as clever as G-Man Percy Wolff. After twenty years of dealing with maniacs, anyone who can trick me into thinking that he's crazy when he's really perfectly sane, is pretty good! Nurse: Well, he did get the pearls back for Dennis and Lartier's. The Whole case was ridiculously and hopelessly tangled, but since it all turned out happily Cexcept for Mrs. Lesterj I don't suppose I have to keep the card? Doctor: No, you can destroy it. Anyway, l got one thing out of the case. Nurse: What was that? Doctor: Lots of laughs-after it was all over! THE CLOCKSI-IOP Have you the time? There's more to a clock, you know, than meets the eye! Clocks, it seems, have hearts as well as hands, as we learned from one delightful visit to Clockmaker Elaine Davidson's Clockshop. We arrived just before the New Year, in time to see the lovely little Freshie snowflakes greet Father Time Cwho reminded us immediately of Arline Friedlanderlj. No sooner had Clockmaker Elaine said good-night to her beloved clocks, in the charming strains of 'iAll the World ls Just a Little Clockshopf' than, with a whir and a stir, the Clockshop came to life. The busybody cuckoo clocks in their little brown houses-with June Saltzrnan leading them into mischief-stretched their legs in song and dance to the measures of Listen to the Cuckoo Clocks, in which they told us We're Not as Cuckoo as We Seem! We discovered how villainous Alarm Clocks could be, when they informed us in menacing, musical accents that everyone is in our thrall, when they hear our strident call, out of bed they falll but we were greatly comforted when we saw and heard the little red-cheeked Dutch Clocks sing to Dearest Gretchen, Sweetest Maedchenf' It was also reassuring to find that even in Clockland Virtue ls Tri- umphant and Love Conquers All, that the False Alarm-a fierce moustache- twirling Irma Newman indeed I-was foiled in his dastardly attempt to win Felice Linder, the perfect Gretchen, away from her dear Claire Field, who was a very dear young Hans. When Grandfather Clock chided Hans-in Ruth Cohn's deep voice-for his fast past, we were very nervous indeed until, with Father Time presiding as judge, the jury of clocks decided, as we had long before done, in Hans's favor. Peopled with Rondack's talented little Juniors, on this occasion all the world was indeed a delightful clockshop, full of a wonderful kind of time.
