Twenty-tii ' o THE LEDGER Moods Kenneth Richards, S. P. A ship — Leaping, Plunging:, Straining — The cold, black merciless clouds Blanketing the steel-grey sky As though attempting to blot it from Existence. A rumbling peal of Thunder — A jagged streak of Lightning — The ship still Straining, Plunging, Leaping. The ship — Dreamily, Calmly, Peacefully, Gliding between the reflected beams Of a full yellow moon — The countless multitude of brightly Glimmering stars reflecting their Glittering brilliance on the quiet Blue waters. The ship glides on Peacefully, Calmly, Dreamily. Dawn Faye Howe, S. P. (First Prize Poem) The fragile chalices of flowers hold Star-dusted globes of iridescent dew. A wind-flung scarf of old rose, faced with gold Sweeps low the Eastern sky, tinged with soft blue. The dark battalions of defeated night Slink silently away, and then the dawn Comes in the splendor of its crystal light. A slit of pale moon melts and then is gone. Thus every silvered night fades into day And every day comes swiftly to its death, Each one a bead upon strands of a gay Thin silken mesh, which trembles at a breath That shakes its slender threads. The beads are caught Into the web of which a life is wrought. Triolet HiLDRED Atkinson, S. P. The city lights at night Dance on the rippling waves. Like shining icicles bright The city lights at night Make beads of twinkling light That lead to fairy caves. The city lights at night Dance on the rippling waves. Opal Sea Kenneth Collins, S. P. Tonight the clouds are phantom ships That float upon a sea of opal blue, And in their gleaming wake, there dips Each flashing drop a star in silver hue. Tonight my heart aches for the lips Of one who sails those phantom ships LTpon a midnight sea of opal blue.

THE LEDGER [ Twenty-one Ad ice to Younger Sisters in Regard to Older Brothers By Madam Hittanmisskv Lucille Donsox, S. P. (First Prize Essay) Editor ' s Note: At last we have the long-looked-for, greatly-sought-after, much-talked about, widely-read, and highly-praised article by the famous Russian princess, Lessofitthebetter, masquerading as Madame Hittanmissky (most- ly missky) peddler of heart-halm and headache powders on the sidewalks of New York. Read on! THE ARTICLE Girls, a disappointed admirer once told me that I was fitted by nature to be a cat, so I have en- deavored to follow my inclinations by pussyfooting softly through the affairs of other people, creating a scandal once in a while merely by wav of showing my claws. Thus I have come to the new and startl- ing decision that all men are brutes and all girls sweet, lovable, etc. — especially etc. This number in the series Advice to Girls is intended to show innocent younger sisters how to train the particular type of brute known as elder brothers. Let us suppose that your brother is nineteen vears old. If he is twenty or even twentv-one, don ' t worry. Scientific research has proved that no man can reach the age of twenty-one without having once been nineteen. If he is eighteen, don ' t worry either. He will arrive in time. We shall start getting to the bottom of this pressing question by eliminating John and Joe and Jock and Jack and Goeffrey and calling your brother Jim. ' V ' ou un- derstand, girls, that his name doesn ' t have to be Jim. This is just a hypothetical case. Yes. Let us suppose that Jim has a date with his eirl. You will know this when he comes into the kitchen and plays selections for you on his saxophone while you are doing the dishes. Presently he will stop playing and cough. Pay no attention to him. Bv all means don ' t look up. L se discretion. Soon he will cough again and ask you to leave the back door unlocked. Look surprised. Remember vou are only a kid sister and- are not supposed to understand the deep and intricate workings of his superior mind. His conversation will run something like this: If you ' ll leave the back door unlocked, I ' ll rake you to a movie — when a man ' s worked hard all day, he wants to get out — I ' ll buy you that record you ' ve been wanting — that ' s a pretty dress vou have on — a man must have his play — I ' ll gi e vou enough cash to buy that scarf you ' ve been raving about, etc., ad infinitum. Make a few remarks in a shocked tone about double-crossing parents. This does nothing but pass time, since you both know that it is a physical impossibility to enter the house at night without your mother knowing it. By simulating disinterest and holding out on him, you will get him to promise you something he doesn ' t want you to have. Then you should let him go for nothing. This will reduce him to a state decidely receptive of further ministrations. If you are feeling extra benevolent, you might ask him in a shocked voice whether he intends to go out with all that brush on his face. He will then scrape blissfully for half an hour, use all the hot water, ruin a towel and a couple of razor blades, and succeed in shaving off nothing at all for the reason that there was nothing there to shave. But if vou feel like spoiling his girl ' s evening, wait until he asks vou if he needs a shave and then tell him that with close scrutiny under a magnifying glass, you might be able to locate one bold whisker. This is excellent training. When he is all dressed, tell him he looks like a sheik. This will reduce him to a frenzy and he will lecture heatedly for half an hour on the general worthlessness of sheiks. After this he will depart and come back wearing a tie so loud it Mill bark at you and ruin the cat ' s peace of mind. The train- ing in argumentation and rhetoric to be derived fronr inducing him to a change back again is invaluable. As he is going down the steps with a rosebud in his buttonhole, tell him you are going riding with So So. Brother will immediately come back and forbid you to go anywhere with So5:So, and will sketch his character for you fully and luridly as an unfit companion for anybody ' s sister. So So, b the way, is Jim ' s best friend. One wonders how he speaks of Jim to his sister. However, be sure to go riding with brother ' s pal. Results are always interesting. You should worry when he comes in. He will arise the next day at noon with a grouch and a headache. If you cook his breakfast for him, he might tell you how he got that way. At anv rate, our h pothetical case is finished. Hear and be wise!
